How you made this coolest screen dithering?
Played it until the end! I especially loved the mood that the audio and visuals created. Very myterious! (The audio almost reminded me of blue prince?)
@creator-lynx I'm reasonably decent with shaders. But again, Claude helped me out a bit with it.
Both the art and the overall atmosphere were amazing. The game keeps you engaged and entertained the whole time! Great job!
That was lovely, simple enough for a point and click and athmospheric, good job!
@zimennik hope sometime I can do something like that. Very beautifull!
Oh man I remember the Myst games. You nailed it with the feel and atmospheric envinronmments!
Nice Graphics!
Overall a great and pretty well made adventure game. I especially liked the ending. I would have liked some voice over even if it was AI. But overall a good jam game. Well done.
The art is amazing, and those shaders are really cool. I love the mood of the game and its eerie 3D environment. Great entry!
Great atmosphere! I really liked how smooth the camera felt.
Cool game - it felt like going back to the good old days. My only issue was that my GPU usage was at 99%.
Really cool atmosphere and graphical direction. Loved the music as well, did you compose it? Very cool stuff! I am not great at Myst-em-ups but I struggled through the puzzles here haha. Nice work!
It wasn't what I expected. PS style dithering looks great here.
The game made me feel uncomfortable, but I mean it in a good way. The atmosphere is strong, I felt lonely, and unprotected, disconnected from everything in almost realistic environment, but something felt off. I don't even know how to explain this. The music seems chill but at the same time makes you feel tension. I think it would benefit from additional sound effects.
(I couldn't find the key in the house for about 3 minutes, because I just missed it in the dark :D)
Cool game! i really enjoyed playing this
@turbolaser That’s normal. Without a frame cap, your GPU just renders as fast as it can.
I like the vibe of the game. Gives a retro Myst like vibe and maybe old Resident Evil with crafting and combine items to make something. Some of the outdoor segments felt you should have free movement. But I see the movement was limited for the design and turning points of the game. Cool Entry overall.
Amazing work! The atmosphere is really cool. The dithering and the music create a great effect. The ending gave me goosebumps; it was quite unexpected. I really enjoyed it, great job! :D
wow! not bad!
Absolutely beautiful game! It really captures the vibe of Myst, though thankfully these puzzles are actually quite easy to understand lol. I played this from beginning to end pretty smoothly, going through the motions of every puzzle without any difficulty, it was quite a zen experience, and then that ending got me real good. If there's one thing I could say is that I'd prefer if you could open the inventory just by putting your mouse at the top of the screen, instead of having to press space bar, if only because I kept instinctively doing that and then facepalming myself when the inventory didn't open x)
Nice game, I liked the use of the theme at the end, subtle but different and graphics look great, well done
