Wow, I'm not really a person that gets chills from games but this? This game was something else. Thank you to everyone who worked on this little masterpiece.
I don't get why this game is not popular enough. It's deep and really meaningful. I lost my wish to play any game or to do anything at all due to the responsibilities and stress ive on me, also the aging. But this game made me enjoy the thing im doing once again, after a really long time. Thank you so much. The perspectives, stories, THE WAY YOU LET US GET THE IDEA ABOUT IT BY OURSELVES WITH THOSE TINY DETAILS, IM CRAZY ABOUT THAT PART, the way it makes us think so deeply on the answers we are getting without any other questions left... It's an amazing game. Thank you for existing and making this game, haha<3 (as a music lover and creator myself, im in love with the soundtrack also)
Loooooooved this. I like that it was a bit more bleak than I thought it'd be, like I thought the old woman would find a love note from her adoring husband and not THAT. Creative and didn't take the obvious easy storylines.
(Sidenote, when I saw the figure in the hospital bed (no spoilers) I thought it was going to for an aborted fetus route...glad it didn't haha)
Gonna recommend this to my friends :) Thanks for making it!
I love this game, an almost perfect mix of horror, thoughtfulness, and emotion. I loved every painting, and the lore being discovered instead of shown. 8/10
Prägnantere Triggerwarnungen über häusliche Gewalt wären nett gewesen, wenn nicht sogar absolute Pflicht. Da gerne mal Credits geskippt oder ignoriert werden, sollte man Triggerwarnungen besonders in diesem Schweregrad gesondert und auffälliger platzieren und nicht im Stil der Credits verschleiern.
Alles in allem kann ich nicht viel dazu sagen, denn ich find die Geschichte wenig lehrreich, sehr deprimierend, die Ai "Art" auch für das was es ist unabhängig vom moralischem Thema absolut unästhetisch und durch die Gamemaker Engine auch das Gameplay mehr als dürftig.
Die Rätsel waren cool, die Storys sehr bewegend, wenn auch verstörend und sehr deprimierend und die Musik war insofern das Highlight.
Dennoch kann ich persönlich empfehlen. Ich verstehe, dass die Geschichten Emotionen triggern sollen, aber gerade davor sollte für manche Menschen Rücksicht genommen und zumindest gewarnt werden, Vor allem auch auf der Spieleinformationsseite. Und selbst wenn es "nur" Strichmännchen sind, könnte man getrost auf AI verzichten, denn die Geschichte die erzählt wird passiert im Kopf und diese Monstrositäten geben mir für's feeling gar nichts.
I don't normally comment on itch, but I really wanna say how much I love this game after one play only and some random stuff that came to mind. (yeah theres yapping prob spoilers ahead but this is a like 40 min game so just go play it rq doofus :3)
Anyways, time for the random 3am inspiration rant. And first off. I really wanna mention the small detail on how Chevron (I think the head dude right?) is Charon the ferryman, on the River Styx. Though I don't know a lot at all about Greek mythology, I think it's a nice nod to his character and placement in the story where he's just showing the Player their way out to their own painting in the end. It's a really nice touch that I didn't expect in the slightest going into playing this and tbh I can only thank my 8th grade ELA teacher for me even getting this reference lmao.
I also like how in painting 3 with the retrospective army man, and the spider which I quite don't know the meaning of yet that the lead up to the man is a winding path of seemingly flesh and bone walls. It's like in his (hers? theirs?) flashbacks they realize that the soil is all made up of death, bone, and flesh that proves more to himself that he and his people weren't the good guy.
Sorry for the 3 gadamn paragraphs (w/ the first one anw) but this was a really cool play and I didn't expect how good it was. I mean as soon as you boot up the game it foreshadows the ending and you go back to the title and just go "OOOOOOOOHHH OMFG" but I've mentioned one to many things now. I actually don't know how to end this pretty much one-pager so I guess thank you for making such an incredible game and also thank everyone who read this far. Cya :3
Thank you so much! Yes Charon is meant to invoke the ferryman and the walls in the final level are meant to invoke flesh, specifically a birth canal! I always love seeing analysis like this, thank you so much for your comment!

… Incredible game. Maybe one of the bests on Itch.io.

Can anyone please tell me how to enter my save file
What do you mean by enter your save file? If you mean continue from an existing save file, please use the "Carry On" option in the start menu.
oh thank you so much, i thought i had to start over!
Amazing game! It was fun and a bit scary and the soundtrack is amazing

God... I don't have words, damn. I 100% recommend playing this!!! I LOVE IT
A masterpiece of art, nothing more, nothing less.
This has got to be one of the best games i've ever played.

That was a work of art, good lord. I felt my heart race when that "monster" was out, I genuinely thought I was cooked.
On a serious note though, this was honestly one of the best games I've ever played, and I'll definitely play this again sometime.
Also, I loved the music so much, it was banger after banger.
This game is incredible, I wish there were more paintings to discover or an option to discover more about yourself.
The music pulled me into the game as if I could feel what is happening inside, it's really good.
I'm not a fan of ai but I think it works well here, as it helps evoke a dreamy and confusing feel.
10/10 experience.
This game beat my expectations, I usually just play to kill time but this one, I enjoyed it!
I'm expecting spanish translation!
A spanish translation is currently in the works and almost done! :)
Wow, such a good experience, huh.
Thank you so much for the comment :)
