The concept is cool but I got lost after being asked to go to the center of something, there was a cloud of blue and red particles going in a direction so I thought that was it but nothing happened Also the controls getting funky is a fun gimmick but the mouse sensitivity getting weird just makes it a bit annoying to look and move around

a walking sim made only of particles is a brave experiment, and it has a dreamy, eerie feel. i couldnt orient myself though, couldnt tell where i was facing or if i was moving. even a faint ground plane would help

I don’t know why, but the game is acting very strange. At times the audio is choppy, and my controls suddenly broke, which completely ruined the experience. On the bright side, I'd highlight the unusual visuals and nice soundtrack—provided the audio stops lagging.

@mister-king i know the audio breaking (depends on the browser and your system specs probs) but do not know of why would the controls break? How did it break?

@prunus-padis, if I'm not mistaken, I couldn't move left and right, even though that ability was there initially.

This game is really strange, but in a good way. It makes you want to understand it better. At first, the controls felt completely unfamiliar, and I got confused, so I started over. When I thought I’d reached the end, I minimized the game window to write a review.

**Spoilers ahead!**

Imagine my surprise when I came back and realized the game WAS STILL GOING. I played a little longer until I’d run out of landmarks, then decided to venture into the void. I don’t know if I somehow crossed the entire void only to meet my end just as I reached the other side, but I feel like it meant something. The game reminded me a bit of the ending of *Rain World*. OVERALL, it’s a very unusual spaceflight simulator. I also encountered an annoying audio glitch: while moving, the sound would sometimes stutter and lag. As far as I know, this is a long-standing issue with Godot web games.

Pretty neat entry! Very atmospheric, though not much in the way of gameplay. It's a shame the audio in the browser version is bugged

This was such a surreal experience to play. The atmosphere is great and the dialogue really set the tone. Unfortunately the audio also was breaking up for me in the web build, which is a shame because it and the sounds of the matter really add to the atmosphere. The windows build didn't have the same issue though. The art style reminded me a lot of scanner sombre. Really unique entry. Well done!

It wasn't very clear where to go or where I was, but after wandering around for a bit, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the audio. I didn't experience any sound issues. Great job!

Too heavy to run on my laptop... so felt a little glitchy.. but I suppose it was the machine struggling. Fun idea though... someone said "unusual spaceflight sim"... that's actually pretty fitting for what that experience felt like 😄

It's fascinating how the game structures the narrative such that every little movement feels like a meaningful choice. The constant presence of the void gives the simple act of walking a real sense of consequence and urgency.

The game’s atmosphere is very well executed, despite its simple art style; one can truly feel the surrounding void and the oppressive nature of the environment. Perhaps more visible on screen indicators would help guide the player though then again, the original intent might simply be for the player to navigate the void on their own. Great entry, well done! xD

Trippy! Got lost the first time but I wanted to see where it went. Not sure if there is anything more once you get to the white space. I didn't see any path so I just started venturing into the void until it was to late to turn around. The way movement keeps limiting feels like you're entering lower dimensions as you matter less and to keep following the path was a nice challenge. Great sound and mood.

Trippy and kind of reminded me of Portal 2.

Very surreal. I didn't quite get it; I thought I had finished the game, but then it started all over again—everything in white. I kept moving forward, but eventually, I got lost... I’m struggling to make sense of it. That said, the atmosphere is very well executed.

I think you're right, it might be a bit much for a web build. Interesting concept, but hard to know what you expect the player to do. Good effort -- well done.

Amazing experience! I felt like some ancient spirit or a cosmic force, just floating through space in search of energy. Such a unique feeling, honestly haven't played anything quite like it before. Really enjoyed this one!

What an amazing experience! The graphics and audio create a very special atmosphere, like the universe preparing for the big bang.
