This was a really short and creative little walking simulator, I loved the idea with the small warp puzzles. Getting out of the basement was really great, after that you basically know what to do.
Best wishes, here's my German playtrough
Thanks so much for playing and for making a video! It's always interesting to see how people get through it. Glad you enjoyed the short ride :)
Cool quick experience, would love to see this expanded upon. Also loved the in world hints to help guide you through if you caught them. Also really liked the general layout and art of the house.
We would love to expand upon the concept too! Glad you appreciated the subtle hints. We put those in last minute but they seem to be working.
Thanks so much for playing! Have a great day :)
Great concept guys. Now you are thinking with portals. The eerie vibe has a lot of potential but the puzzle element felt really smooth.
Thanks so much for playing!! Glad you dug it :)
The game was really good and liked how things change in the game it was interesting well done keep it up!
So glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you for playing and for the encouragement :) have a great day!
This game felt like a demo of a genuine masterpiece.
Im a huge fan of walking stimulators, now adding in warp zones and 4th dimensions and damn it you have a bad ass game. And it was spooky! I would love to see this game fleshed to be longer or more chapters or something. Anything, thank you have a great day!
5/5 Stars!
Wow thank you so much for the praise :o And thanks for covering our game! Your video was a really fun watch :)
We would love to expand on the concept. There's so much more we'd want to add (interaction system, story, more content, more spooky stuff). We're hoping that in the future we'll have the capacity to do a full version of this idea justice.
Thanks so much for playing!!
I will be playing this live, tomorrow 2/13 around 630 PM EST.
I didn't catch it live but I saw the video. Thank you so much for playing! Had a lot of fun watching and we're really glad that you enjoyed it :) hope you stick around to play our next one!
It was amazing i can't wait to see the next one
This was a fantastic, trippy game. It was a little hard to get going at first (check the first hint especially if you're stuck.) But I found myself going: "Whoaaaaa" more than once while exploring the space. The interesting use of space, lighting, and tone was incredibly well done.
Hey so glad you enjoyed it! Yeah it's definitely hard to grasp what's going on at first. Good job figuring it out though! Thank you so much for playing :)
