Sorry I didn’t get around to playtesting the latest version of this when the survey was still open, but I’m so glad I came back to it!
The atmosphere and the tension are so THICK and the writing highly evocative. I love the combination of Disco Elysium’s inner voices, and the thinking, feeling exoskeletal companion à la In Other Waters. And since this game’s narrative seems set up for some psychological horror, I can imagine a scene where these interact with each other directly, bypassing the physical voice entirely.
You seem to have such a strong vision for this game that I rarely see, and I’d love to play the full version if/when it comes out!
Hey, gave this one a try and absolutely fell in love with it. Is there anyway you could make the survey available digitally? Would love to fill it out.
tysm for playing! The survey was for a research project but that's closed now, currently working the data into a paper that i need to turn in oncoming Monday lol. Game is still in development tho, and left the link to the survey in your video's comment section!!
No problem lol. Oh, i see. Godspeed on the paper, hopefully it goes well. Don't see the link, youtube might have smited it, but i appreciate the effort nonetheless!
So...this is grilling. It's almost amazing at what it does, unnerve you of what you don't know, of what you've never seen, but it feels like it shows you its horror too early for your introspection into its world to be flipped to fear.
I'm unsure if the game is supposed to be short, but for me it got to the blackhole section and then told me to fill out a survey (which never really showed anything that I'd write down) with the button to continue playing being impossible to reach since the mouse was still locked. If the above issue is fixed (if it even is an issue), please notify me as I'd love to continue playing.
I will say that while I'm surprised by the quality of the game considering other games on itch, I'm sorta disappointed even in the little bit that I played by what the game was setting itself up to be, I'll say again that I felt the terror would be brewed over a long period of time, where the game will let you get cozy and snuggle up with it until it snaps your neck in your sleep.
4.7/5 out of the segment that I played, but since I missed a lot of it because of the last survey, it's possible that I misinterpreted and mistreated the entire game, maybe that the game isn't even supposed to be scary. I'll happily delete and re-review if the issue gets fixed.
Thanks for playing and the feedback! The game is going to be a decent chunk longer, The current build is about 1/4th of the envisioned experience. I'll be putting out a devlog with the next big update so hopefully that'll notify you!
I really enjoyed playing your game! Not only did it give me that feeling of playing an old game from childhood, but as creepy as it was, it's surprisingly peaceful! I'm excited to see what comes next.

I LOVE the idea with the physical cyclopedia. You did a great job of making this world feel strange and alien, I'm looking forward to updates!
