This game- I can't describe it. The visuals are a masterpiece. What music there is is phenomenal. Yet, this amazing concept and intriguing world holds nothing of substance and is riddled with game breaking bugs (can't pick up boat key). I want to love this game so much yet after 4 attempts I am at a loss. Can't wait to see how this project develops.
While it is atmospheric, I didn't have a clue of what I was supposed to do. I assume you need to do something the boat when you find a key to it? But I can't find the key. There could be more notes or similar cues in the start of the game in the first path that could give vague hints of what to find and where you could find it.
When you are tired, the closing and opening of the eyes feel slightly annoying to look at even though it does add emphasis to the feel of being tired. I'd prefer if it was a simple gradual whole screen transition to no vision and vision instead of the flickering.
Bugs: You can get stuck on the rock next to the chair on the hill that leads to the river.
The second I opened up the game I fell in love with the aesthetics! I was simply mesmerized by the surroundings. I really like the concept of the game, the intro was great, the vibe of the game is perfect, the sound design was very clean and the titles were very smooth! The only problem I had was that I wasn't really sure what to do. I still don't really know if there's a story/objective to this game. None the less I really enjoyed playing the game and I would love to see more of this in the future! Awesome job!
Unfortunately I really wanna try this out, but I'll need to do so after the voting period as I have 3 really weird glitches
1) The logo sequence (which is very cool, I must add) constantly repeats in a run
2) For SOME REASON, my countdown is completely wrong and it takes like 5 seconds for the timer to count down by 1 second. I have a 144Hz monitor, but I also tried the game on a spare 60Hz monitor and I have the same issue. The timer progresses extremely slowly (and sometimes not at all, like it jumped from 51 to 15 after 2 minutes of running around, then it hung around there), and I am really sorry that I'm not able to experience the game as intended!
3) I can't un fullscreen the game or change resolutions, there are no longer any options for it? I switched to my 1080p 60Hz second monitor by making the application windowed in settings, dragging the window open, then applying fullscreen, but now the game loads on that monitor and won't become a window when windowed??
Overall, really great atmosphere from what I played. It's not your fault that my PC refuses to want this game to work but from what I played, it ran smoothly, looks gorgeous, and has a really nice soundtrack with a nice gameplay mechanic.
I'd love to be able to record these issues but I can't as I need to put it into windowed mode to move it back to the primary monitor that Shadowplay records
Hmm, oddly it doesn't actually list anything in that drop-down at all for me, it's just showing an empty slither the options container when I try to expand it. :<
the game's art style is fire but i feel fooled when i find so many bugs on the very first run. for example if you exit spawn point before logo animations finishes than the game will keep repeating logo. some other moment is that i got way too pixelized view. White text on bright colors looks totally not good. Especially text on pixelized view. Anyway good work for a jam project but not a good if it was a standalone walk simulator
Thanks for the feedback, I've fixed some pixelation issues and working on the title text bug, only appears when the game is built, I hope to update the game after the Game Jam finished as builds are locked for this week.

I like the game, despite being hard, cool idea and graphics !!!
The visuals and audio are great.
What I'd change:

Good job with the game!
Really, really like this aesthetic! Will be following with great interest. Cheers on a job very well done so far!
I've updated the game with a complete new island in a new build v1.5

Hi Harry,
Try editing the graphics settings:
Hmm, oddly it doesn't actually list anything in that drop-down at all for me, it's just showing an empty slither the options container when I try to expand it. :<
Try opening the menu when the game is running in the level, the main menu does have a bug where graphics resolution is empty
Looks cool!!
