This was very unique and interesting! Felt like everything was just barely in my control (and outside my understanding, those creatures were owesome though)

My only gripe is tha those rotary knobs were too sensitive, was a bit hard to land on the desired position.

Also, nice reference to Twin Peaks!

I really enjoyed the transitions through the game Day / night and everything that accompanied it, changes in look. audio sfx, etc it has a really nice mood. I'm not sure if I got stuck on 3rd or 4th night session - or if I just wasn't 'doing it right'.

@ansible thank you! really sorry, there's a bug with the puzzle I'm trying to fix. EDIT: somewhat fixed

It was pleasant but the game doesn't seem to ever end. Main menu screen looked really nice.

The game is fun, but I feel like to put out the fire, the fire has to be facing you and not facing the thing that’s spraying water—that’s a shame. Otherwise, the atmosphere is really cool. Well done!

Cool atmosphere! Simple but effective

Fantastic mood. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to end. Great job!

Delightfully weird! :heart: Great job. Oh, and the post-its were a really fun detail. I liked moving them around just because.

The overall mood you've captured is fantastic; the sense of moving from darkness into light feels genuinely atmospheric. The core concept of the magician's story really comes across and gives the piece a wonderful narrative weight. Really enjoyed this unique experience!

I'm always impressed when jam games have narrative threads. Neat little game, I enjoyed the presentation lots.

I had a great time. The activities are fun. It's nice to get feedback on what you've done with the little sticky notes that get added to the wall night after night! :)

THIS ONE ROCKED, I dug the visuals so much (the way everything parallaxed around was awesome) and the tension built throughout the week is really good. Love it.

So cool, vibes of Twin Peaks and Firewatch, loved it! Didn't realise at first that I have a full 360 of forest to look after, but caught on quickly

I have a black screen and it won't load... I launched it on itch.io!

Wow amaaazing graphics, I loved the little magical mystery, awesome job!!

Super interesting! I love it. It was fun to figure out the controls and what was being asked of me. I really like the post it notes and that I could move them around, very nice touch. Great work!

David Lynch would most likely not have liked it, but I do. I have just watch Twin Peaks and I was in mood for this game. Interring, weird and fun. Great job.

Very cool idea, was fun to play and intuitive to figure out without looking at the instructions.

ribout-horace 2026-04-24 17:09

I was a bit doubtful of the visual when I was looking at the screenshot, but when in movement, the game works really well! The paralax add a good feeling to the game, and even if the game stays easy ; I really like the challenge and the final!

podrez 2026-04-25 10:07

It plays great, just missing the ability to pat the plush monkey on the table😄

A beautiful and intriguing game. I actually found the parallax a bit confusing, the concept (and the minimap) suggested that we are in a watchtower looking around, but the parallax effect made me feel like I'm "orbiting" around a forest, because the back layers were barely moving. I'm not sure if you know what I mean :) Either way, I guess a bit of confusion fit the dreamy and mysterious aesthetic!

Very cool art style and parallax effect also was cool rotation mechanic) Good job!Screenshot_20260426_130800.png
