I like the atmosphere in this game, especially the fog. Is the monster supposed to do anything besides appearing in T-pose and not moving? Apart from that, I couldn't find any relics other than the first one in the camp. All I could find were stones and bones :D

@evil23 thanks for the review! We did actually have a couple unfinished spots in our game like the complete lack of any ending entirely. But now you can find relics easily with the wind particles so it's not nearly that impossible anymore. The monster is indeed this giant t-posing thing, but it does have a couple different states that appear more often the more relics you get.

I liked the atomsphere, the way the audio was done was great and kept me immersed. I did start to get worried when I found the first item and realized I walked very far and didnt know my way back. Otherwise great job!

Its atmosphere looks pretty cool. It’s a smart design idea to explore around a center, but it seems that there is still a lot of scalability. Please keep working on it!

I like the same thing as most people do: Games atmosphere is on another level, while having 'good lore' and pretty good sounds!

I think you didn't make a game, but a beautiful location where you can just wander around. The visuals are undoubtedly one of the best I've seen so far. But how should the player know where to go and what to collect? It's also unclear why the player dies, as if I chased away the scarecrow but still died. Additionally, it's frustrating that a game where you can die simply closes.

I got so lost that I didn't even encounter the enemy. I liked the idea and found it enjoyable.

Got the Pathologic experience. Is this finally the new bachelor's chapter? :D Anyway, I liked the graphics and the sound. Thank you for the work done!

Cool game. The sound and the vision of giant scarecrow drove me walked towards somewhere I don't know for minutes.

Great game! I really loved the art style and visuals

shram 2025-10-08 17:12

The game has a nice visual, but it's completely unclear what to do in it. I spent 10 minutes running around, but I still didn't understand what the game wanted from me.

Good job on the game! Very good art style!.

remind me a game on phone from 2013 i like it

Couldn't get the itch.io build to load on any of my browsers, weird.

Just for future reference, from the rules: "You’re free to use 3rd party Artwork/Music/Audio assets, or assets you previously created, but we ask that you OPT-OUT of the respected voting categories (Graphics, Audio). You can opt-out of a voting category when you submit your game."

I have full my pants. Is that what you wanted? Very scary game. I think the goal you set has been achieved. The atmosphere and sound are top-notch 10/10. Theme has been reached. I want more!

milq 2025-10-09 19:12

Wow! The graphics are stunning, and that tall monster in the background gives the scene an incredible atmosphere. Truly impressive. The game fits the theme perfectly. It’s true that having a short tutorial or an initial guide to learn the controls would be helpful. Other than that, my sincerest congratulations. This is a high-quality entry. Great game!

Nice atmospheric game, but it's rather confusing.

kukaracila215 2025-10-09 19:18

@6knowledge you are completely right, sorry, we definitely did not give our submission enough thought. Thanks for bringing this to our attention

solvenoff 2025-10-09 19:21

Thumbs up for the atmosphere — and that T-posed monster honestly made me laugh more than it scared me 😄

But the mix of 2D and 3D elements — respect, I really like that style.

It wasn’t clear at all that there’s a hunger mechanic; I only figured it out from the description. And the fact that we start shaking when hungry felt a bit strange too :D Maybe I’m an alien — do humans really shake from hunger? Who knows XD

kukaracila215 2025-10-09 19:27

@solvenoff thanks! We are still working on fixing and polishing parts of the game, like the monster or the hunger mechanic! And speaking from personal perspective and experience - some people really do shake from hunger. Personally it is mostly low blood sugar, but there might be some other examples

It's a very atmospheric game with well-chosen sounds. However, it lacks a map or markers to help you navigate. Overall, I really enjoyed the game.

Mood is done very well. I love hands animations, especially how they communicate that there is an interactable object in front of the player. Unfortunately, I found only one relic and couldn't find a proper place for it. Then I ran into steppe until reached a death screen (I guess).
