Someone left you a message.

It was a great experience. Made me feel completely lost at first. I won't say too much as I don't want to spoil the experience for others. I'm not sure myself I've seen it all.

Whoever did this deserves another chance, and it will eventually get better for those who bear the pain.

@petitlu thank you so much! :heartbeat:

My playthrough ended at the question, “Are you for real that dumb?” After several failed attempts to admit that, yes, I actually do consider myself rather dumb (the game told me I was lying), I had to reply with: “I need to say no just for the game to continue? Sorry. Can’t say to you what you wanna hear. Bye.”

In a way, it’s a pity I couldn’t finish the game simply because I chose to stay completely honest with myself and others — but that actually makes the concept work even better. Either way, it was fascinating and deeply introspective. I love works like this.

Wow, absolutely love there art and the thought provoking content :)

Not sure if I beat the game. I got a "05102025.txt" on the virtual desktop, and the source code is 404. I love the music and the tone it gives, still somewhat whimsical and fittingly out-of-place, and yet dissonant. I wish the static mode actually did anything (maybe I missed something?) but I dig this type of horror metagame.

Holy shit. That was uneasy. I really respect expressing all the thoughs and feelings through another medium, especially those anxious. I hope that you are feeling okay :blue_heart: I am glad I could experience this

I really like this kind of game, like the "milk inside a bag of milk..." this kind of style. Let the people see another form of the world. But I don't think it's a good idea to make it incomprehensible. Here's my own opinion: what makes the uncertainty attractive is the certainty. Maybe to add some certainty in this game would make it much more attractive.

Very cool experience... I had a little bit of trouble figuring out what to do but I made it all the way to the end !

I felt so happy when I figured out how the static mode worked

Alright! I'm very glad I didn't start playing this game when the post got updated back then. Well, my eyes are very uncomfortable right now. Because of the game's snowy screen, I followed the suggested controls to move the view, but I could only make out some edges to make the screen a bit easier on the eyes. However, I still couldn't reach the red condition. I downloaded the Windows version, and I'm not sure if it has a bug.

The first time I opened it, the volume of my headphones was at half.(Still noise and scared me) I guess you forgot to test it in advance (:<

For a horror game, this seems to work, but it's also confusing. Most of the time, players might be overwhelmed by the snow screen, unable to see the direction clearly, and can't make out what the subtitles and all the repeating audio are conveying.

But I still appreciate you giving me this game!

Really cool entry! I always love when games do things outside the game itself and leave things on your desktop haha, good job!

Strange. Weird. Creepy. Hypnotizing. Amazing ++

Interesting and unsettling experience! I’m not entirely sure what to do (yes, I’m really that dumb) and ended up stuck in a wall, unable to move, but I still spent a good five minutes or so in the game and genuinely enjoyed it. Great entry!

Not sure if I saw everything there was to see, but impressive the general mood you were able to create with not too many individual pieces. Interesting experience and very unique in direction from everything I've seen this jam so far.

Art in its purest form
