Great construction dramaturgically and funny and heartfelt writing, I was fully engaged and absolutely got jumpscared by the monster. Where you lost me is the AI-art, for me it takes me out of it, I cant see the image as anything but the art-references I recognize (ex Francis Bacon) hacked up and reassembled. I would much rather see an actual artist take on the concept. No hate, I just think you have talent that is obscured by the AI.
The next game will be made without it - this was made at a time when AI art had just released and had an interesting uncanny look -- now that it seeks to just look the same as human art it is less interesting and more nefarious. For ethical and aesthetic reasons I will not be using it in future projects!
probably because it's the same engine and they're both saved in your browser's cookies, though I would be interested to see what happens when you load that save lmao
super unique game, haven't played anything like it.
SPOILER!!!
the thing in the last painting scared the fuck out of me first time he got me. was definitely on edge the whole time I was going through it, even after he moved on
FUN! I adore the OST and the contrast between the soft lofi/distortion matches perfectly with the contract between the contrast between the pixel art/surrealist sprites.
Wow just wow this is my first time playing one of your games and im blew away. The amazing soundtrack, the heavy hitting dialuge, even the visuals, man i dont live when i say this game has to be one of my favorites i've played here congrats
every time i play one of your games, im always lost in my feelings yet i feel as if i found myself. just the way you create your games in mesmerizing. thoughtful and beautiful storyline and gosh the music is so wonderful!! definitely gonna re-play this game in the future :))
FAM I DIDNT MAKE IT PAST THE THIRD PAINTING I GOT JUMP SCARED BYT HAT MONSTER THING AND ACCIDENTLY QUIT BUT I LOVED IT IT WAS WELL DONE I TEARED UP WITH THE OLD LADY BUT THIS IS VERY WELL DONE
Man, this is one of those games I wish I could play again for the first time ever. Such a beautiful game, and the stories were well made. Wonderful game, truly.
the soundtrack is a without a doubt, a highlight of this game. another one of my favorite parts is the fact that the creator does not feed you answers, and instead leaves it up to your own interpretation. overall a short game worth playing. 9/10 and to the dev KEEP IT UP CHAMP (where can i find the soundtrack)

It was a pretty interesting game; I like the pschological horror element and especially the imagery of the dialogue in the last painting. Bravo.

The 3rd painting had my heart beating out of my chest!! The storytelling here is amazing, seriously one of the best games I've found.

Loved your video! To address what you said at the end, my next game will be much longer and I have a feeling fans of this one will enjoy it :)
Yes! Cannot wait, looking forward to it
Interesting...

This was amazing to play through. The music fit so well. That poor "river boy" story :'(

Oh awesome! "Sacrifice" is such an amazing song - maybe my favourite one in the game. It fits the story and mood at that point of the game so well.
