10/10 GotY.

Fantastic

Wow. This was so beautiful... Both the graphics and how you set up the mood.

It's a pity that you couldn't develop it further.

Awesome

wow beautiful looking game nice work

Beautiful! Loved the art and the music! The reflexion effect and the steps on the water were very cool also!

I love the art in this sooo much. AND the story. What I played was perfect I just wish You had more of this.

Absolutely gorgeous man, great work.

The art was gorgeous, but the controls were difficult to use (it was kind of laggy, so hard to judge when to jump).

Great presentation. Felt like a very well done short-movie in game-form (if that makes any sense).

Would have liked it to be longer, but the game is great for what it is!

Very well done - art and music is really impressive.

Good lord this is lovely. The music-integration is brilliant.

Nice work :)

there is not much of a game here, but you have the theme and the graphics, that's for sure. :D

Beautiful graphics & music !

5/5 Better than FEZ.

Nice mood and visual !

WUB WUB WUB WUB

(i liked it)

Fairly basic gameplay, but outstanding presentation & graphics. Would easily play a much larger game of this.

Great art work, story and music, you should continue on making more maps!

Great art! Too bad there's not much to the game itself.

Excellent graphics and music. If would be awesome if it was longer :)

Wonderful artwork and music. Very cinematic; I like the way everything forms from darkness to reality.

Nailed on the graphics, but could have added a skip on the cutscene.

Awesome pixel art! Too bad it's very short, but the stunning looks and music makes up for it. Hope you work on this post-compo.

Noooo, I want more! This is a ridiculously stylish game, the graphics are insane. You should definitely develop this further.

The music is amazing, the graphics are amazing.
I'm glad that this is all you got done, because if you had been able to finish AND these graphics AND this music AND a longer game, my brain would have exploded.

Really awesome! Beautiful pixelart and a definitely great work in every sense ;)

Amazing work ! Too bad that you couldn't make more gameplay. You're talented man ! :)

Definitely one of the games with the best mix of art, music and mood.

Visually is PERFECT!
Text effect is awesome!
But game is TOOO short! And gane don't fit the theme!
I understand about 48Hours, yeah.

Also I made something simillar on previous LD =)

OMG
I've been in Ludum since LD23 and this game holds the best presentation I've ever saw!
I can't even...
Wow.

This game is almost perfect : just need more gameplay ! But it still an amazing game with amazing graphics and music !

The most gorgeous entry I have seen so far. And by gorgeous I mean absolutely awesome graphics, music and storytelling.

Wow! Amazing graphics and audio - I really wish the game were longer. You should work on a post jam version with all of your planned content in :D

Very short, but fantastic pixelart and soundtrack.

Really cool look!

wow AMAZING game!!
great effects and great composition musical and artistic, 10/10

wow really fun no idea how you managed to create all this in 48 hours. Good job!

Wow what a nice little playable short story... like the music... the art...cool experience... need to have more content... maybe you will work on a post ludum version?

This is so cool Im angry at myself that I wasn't participating this time. Great stuff!

Graphics are gorgeous, certain this will win that category. Game is extremely polished. Played very smoothly except collisions on some objects. Sound was pretty good too, although I think changing the dubstep for something else might have worked better. Great build up, I'd love to see more from this.

Holy smokes. I can't speak right now. You've got my fives.

Absolutely Phenomenal. The graphics were incredible, and I LOVED the introduction. How with every sentence new form and structure were pulled out of the black screen...

Awesome. :)

Your such a tease! :P For what it was it was amazing. I really hope you develop this further. absolutely amazing!

This is amazing! The graphics are spectacular and the music as fantastic. But it is way too short. If this was a full length game, I would pay money for it. Excellent work.

Ten out of ten. Amazing graphics, music and story had me totally immersed. You got the mood spot-on. Simply amazing.

Space bar didn't work at first "trap" and screen was choppy. Graphics / Music / Sprite work was fantastic.

The art is amazing but there's not much else. Still I applaud the art. I literally looked away to twitter when the girl showed up, then when I looked back the game was over. I had to play a second time to make sure that was the end.

Best graphics I've seen so far... Absolutely beautiful!

The art in this is reaaaaaaaaaally great! I love the intro. It's perfect. The only nitpicks I have here are the music and the length. The music doesn't really fit the mood to me, and the game ends just when it was expanding. I can only imagine this would've been amazing with a team behind it in the Jam. Great work!

OUTSTANDING graphics! Good music!

I do wish there were WASD control options in addition to arrow keys though.

Pretty much perfect, except for the length. But since you polished this bit up so nicely, I'll forgive.

what a beautiful game!
congratulation, you really got a nice mood, graphics and controls!
runs a little slow here, but I think it was my flash player fault =/

Excellent art and sound. This is the best interpretation of the theme for a platformer that I've seen so far.

Wow, love your art! Can't wait to play the full game.

May be the best I have played so far.

BEST GAME EVER!

Those goosebumps tho.

Awesome game! Love the music, the intro and the art style. You should keep working on it, it has potencial :D 5/5

The bad is the theme; I am suspicious that you looked at the top-three theme candidates before the competition and tried to think up something that covered the day night already dead meta-theme.

The shame: that its not longer!

The FANTASTIC: everything else! Art, atmosphere, mechanics, art, audio, mood, art, everything!!

Very very good looking, the theme is a bit sketchy though, are you sure you didn't secretly start a couple of days before and picked a common theme amongst the finalists? ;-)

Top votes from me!

Wow... this is so good looking. And the music is great as well. Too bad you had to cut out a lot, would have loved to play the whole game.

Short but sweet! :) Great atmosphere and presentation and incredible graphics and animation, nice work! More gameplay would have been nice of course, but I like that you managed to get that ending in there instead of not at all.

Wow! keep working on it. Make a kickstarter campaing and finish it. Then the world will be a better place.

Great graphics, really neat and charismatic!
Too short, but very intense

Game is interesting but too short. Amazing art.

The narration and the graphics are great and have potential, but it's really too bad that there's no gameplay at all. So the rest look too much common. I'm interested to know how you have imagine the rest of the game, the perhaps interaction of the two worlds ? Too bad you couldn't have time for it :<

Feel the mood!

stunning visuals and mood, would love to see more game!

Pretty generic and simple gameplay (and also short), but fantastic graphics and music.

Fantastic! If it is only short because you ran out of time, then you should take heart: if it had been longer I would have liked it less. Think of it this way: when I start to play a beautiful platformer, with great graphics and nice controls, I want it to last forever. I want to play for an hour, and explore a super cool world! Imagine my heart-break when I got to the end and felt "what? that's it? that's all I get?"

That heart-break is exactly the feeling of a lover who loses their partner. So your game made _me_ feel loss without hammering it over my head through text. If you are planning to make this game longer post-jam, I recommend abandoning that goal. Keep it as short as it is, and maybe just polish the experience (remove text, include more feedback). Use the engine and art assets to make another game, because this game about loss will lose its impact if you "bring it back from the dead" as a longer, gamier game.

Seriously: even if people love this game, don't make it longer! Integrity!

Also: nice camera lerp.

Amazing graphics for the deadline, I'm very impressed!

Awesome music and art. Amazing work.

Amazing graphics and music! But I wish there was more gameplay =( Also a bigger relation to the theme itself...didn't really felt like connecting worlds...

But either way, the presentation is very impressive :)

Lovely graphics and very fitting music. It was a little slow at times, but I can forgive it that because it just looks so great. I was hoping for a longer game but even so I really enjoyed this.

Awesome presentation, art and music :)

Awesome!!! Especially i like the soundtrack.

I love this game! I love the graphics, the animation, the mood, the sound!

If only it was longer; but maybe it will be sometimes?

It was such a touching experience that i lost my breath for a second

I really love the Pixel Art. Great color steps and I love the hard lines and mixed angles on the rock formation the step from deep black to grey is a excellent and dramatic shading effect. Great fluid movement in the run animation as well

Wow, this entry is just unbelievable presentation-wise. Really beautiful pixel art, intricate music (can't say I enjoyed the dubstep part though, but that's personal taste), and just the way everything flows. Of course, there isn't much of a game there gameplay-wise, but it's a nice short story. Definitely interested in seeing a full game in that style - the ghostly protagonist could offer some interesting game mechanics too.

Awesome graphics, sound and feel. Great job.

Aah this is absolutely gorgeous, such a pity it's so short. Nice work!

Great work! Very pretty, good use of theme, plays well!

Very short, but the graphics are just very insane! Nice Work!

Fresh presentation for sure.... Wish it was longer/less laggy, but the visuals make up for all of that;

Professional art here, i'm impressed!

Woooah! Really really nice! Thats awesome! And.. really short! Thats make me feel sad! ;) Great job! Masterpiece!

Uhms.. I play one more time.. i need see that awesome graphics!

Very good pixel art, good mood also

I agree with most commenters here: really well done art and good audio. Definitely solid presentation.
But the lack of content renders it rather short and in general the narrative reminds me too much of other games such as Appy 1000mg by deepnight.

The game presents itself as a platformer (gorgeously executed no doubt!) but there minimal platforming going on - which is probably a good thing since it's clearly narrative-focused.

I by no means want to diminish your accomplishment, it is a very very beautiful and well-sounding entry and I was especially delighted by the vanishing letters when text appeared.

damn, how did you get so good at art, there's too many little details and incredible things to say them all, everything is so fucking rad, great job! I really wanna see a full game from you soon! :)

W O W
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW
fjasklfjasdl;fasjdl;kkl WOW!

Amazing stuff. Love the pixelart and music. I wish it game be lobger.

The scenery is gorgeous! Nice job on the graphics and presentation. I would consider this like an intro of a game, so hopefully this can evolve into something greater after LD30.

You definitely have the art and music in the bag man, even the mechanics of jumping and moving were solid. It's too bad you had to cut so much, especially since it seems like your last LD had the same problem. Please please please, next time prioritize your game design first and I think you will really create something special with the potential to go far beyond LD.

Awesome and well polished game. I think we have a winner for this LD :)

The art and overall presentation is absolutely gorgeous! I just wish there was more game to back it up. The music was good but once the wubs kicked in it didn't really seem to fit the mood anymore.

*Jawdrops* I... I... I don't know what to say... it's... it's... beautiful.

Superb graphics and good audio too. Wish there was more

What a gem! Would love to see more... post-compo version perhaps? :D

The art and overall mood is seriously amazing. I would love to see a full game from this!

nice, great atmosphere

stunning game visually, I really would love to play a complete version of this, as your introduction is perfectly paced. I love how you introduce the character and world, very imaginative

This is simply grande. I remember seeing some of your indev. posts on the ludum dare site about how you spend to much time on trees - and I already wanted to see more. :D
But hell the soundcomposition when the moon appeared was absolutely cool. I got stuck 'cause i didn't knew by east you meant west. xD However played through it twice in a row. Great experience.

stunning game visually, I really would love to play a complete version of this, as your introduction is perfectly paced. I love how you introduce the character and world, very imaginative

It's a pity there's almost no gameplay, the art and music blew my mind.

Awesome artworks, great game!

Waaaaaaaaaah it's too short T_T

The art and sound is top notch, but the game itself lacks gameplay. When you think it really starts... it ends.

Very frustrating!

Was gonna give you five stars overall, but then I realized how short it was. Nothing new or innovative or substantial about the gameplay, but the graphics, oh, the graphics! They're beautiful! The music's also very, very nice. Wish it were longer!

That's just on another level senses-wise

We want moooooore!!! :)

Awesome intro - absolutely stunning. Loved the style, beautiful graphics and narration was spot on. I would love to see an extended version.

Awesome graphics and story. I enjoyed playing this game.

The most polished Compo entry i've seen so far. So bad you didn't spend 24hours more on this and run for the jam, so we could enjoy a longer experience with a deeper integration of the theme. Still you managed to finish such a polished short game. Fucking good job.

A shame that you could not make it longer... I really like the graphics

That moon dropped the bass on me.

Artwork and soundtrack are really beautiful. Unfortunally the use of the theme can only be guessed and there isn't much gameplay. Why didn't you turn this into a jam entry?

@TeamConn: Unfortunately I would not have been able to turn this into a Jam entry. I needed sleep, considering I had a maximum 4 hours over the weekend.

The theme might have been more evident had I included more of my original plan, but the premise was meant to be that he is reconnecting to the world of the living.

The introduction is just amazing !
(I still gets chills)
Too bad the game itself is so short.

The presentation for this is just amazing, feels like it was cut short way too early though.
Also wish you'd used the reflection for something more than it looks great.

I love the mood of the game and how you presented the story. It was short but really good!

Just beautiful *___*

Just amazing, the polish on this is just amazing! I wish it was a bit stronger (more obvious?) on the theme and a bit longer, but it was still really amazing!

+ everything perfect
- nothing

well done!

Wow, very moody. Music was perfect, a little sad that there wasn't much gameplay at all. Still very cool!

A shame it's so short because just the beggining settled a great mood. It's presentation is fantastic, but it ends too early

Dat art Oo

One of my favorite so far. Really interesting.

Very graphically impressive however the gameplay was very lacklustre.

Full marks, this game was a really good experience.

Nice art and music for sure. Good entry.

Just wow dude! That is some amazing pixel art skills you have there. Also really love the music, and the story. I just wish there was more!

Woooooow! Sooooo preeeeettttty! Even short as it is, I did a double-take when I saw this was a compo entry and not something a team made for the jam.

Kudos!

Wow, that's a really great entry, love the graphics and the music.

Awesome graphics, music and mood! Great job!

Incredible, everything is just awesome, from the programming to the music. I hope you'll continue this game and add some "core gameplay", it could be a GotY

Good, but where's the game ? :)

F**k this is awesome

Running very laggy, but the experience is well crafted. I will impressed right from teh beginning.

And when I've seen some entries worth winning, I see this one! This is FREAKING ASTONISHING! Graphics/Music are perfect. I cannot believe you made this masterpiece in 48 hours. I hope you make a post-compo version, that'll be even more amazing!

Short but very, very sweet!

The art and the setup is absolutely astounding; too bad it's so short (though not surprising, considering that these 48 hours must have been spent *somewhere*). I'd really like to see it developed further, though, the premise is quite promising.

(one thing I didn't exactly like: later part of soundtrack, when it went from mysterious cimbal-like instruments to something more techno-ish; granted, I'm not the fan of that instrument in general ^^")

Soo beatiful! Too bad there's too little of a "game". Otherwise, the mood and the graphics are outstanding.

exceptionell good game :)

WOW! Just WOW!

best game of Ludum Dare compo ever.

Wow, Nice work and great presentation. I luv da way dat beat drops in ;)

Amazing polished game with wonderful mood.
Perfect graphics, perfect song, perfect experience.
Very good!

Amazing audio and graphics!

Nice work

great artwork and BGM

Beautiful, congrats!

Amazing work, one of the best I've seen. Had some performance issues (maybe because I have around 100 tabs open...) but the art you've created is amazing. Comlete entry, would like to see more. Great job!

Wow.... a shame it is short and lacks some beef... but just wow... To be able to make this music and art alone in 48 hours is just astonishing to me :)

Great entry, probably the best in terms of visuals/audio/mood that I have seen so far.

This is really great. Super love the art and the music.

Amazing opening and animation, I wish there was more game!

Beautiful graphics, music and style. Great job!

"OH MY GOD! THIS IS THE AWESOMEST INTO I'VE EVER SEEN IN A LUDUM DARE GAME...uh...what? Is it over already?"

This games is impressive in a lot of ways, as soon as I saw the circles on the water in the first seconds I was "Woaaaaah"

Now, of course, it's way too short. But I can't imagine how you could even have made it longer. So...well...congratulations

i don'tknow what to say, yes because i'm disapointed :)
I WANT MOOOAR!!!
Serriously your game teased me so much, i mean it: SO MUCH!
when i hit the end i said to myself "WTF WTF I need MOOAAAAR"
It is so short man >< i need more, i need a gameplay!
Nevertheless, it is the best game trailer i've ever seen :)

I'm left just craving more. Fantastic work. The music has a kind of ominous majesty that works right in with the melancholy colour palette and style. But at the same time it's about reconnecting to the living, and the music always feels confident and powerful, urging you forward. (I think you can tell I liked the music.)

Gameplay-wise the obvious thing to say is that more would be good. You've only really scratched the surface I'm guessing. But for 48 hours this is extremely impressive. Nice work!

Amazing atmosphere. Would love to see this idea developed more!

Hi there. Lovely graphics and sound, especially reflection idea. Nice animations too. Very good atmosphere. Stuck at jump at first lever...either I missed something or that jump is too wide, or perhaps end of game ?

The movement felt great although it was so short. Hiding the key at the smart was clever. You just needed more to do. The animations and graphics are amazingly detailed for 48hr.

The audio track fits and helps the mood along with the pacing of the story but could be helped by sound effects/ambiance.

Great visuals, but really short (and wanted more gameplay content!)

I want more! The Music is so awesome as well as the artstyle and the mood. Please keep making Games!

Wicked stuff dude! :D

@mrexcessive: There is a key hidden at the far left of the map. This will allow you to activate the lever.

Beautiful. Can't fault this on anything and so glad I played it. I'd love to see a longer game come from this.

Graphics and audio are great.

Wow, a lot of work packed in for 48 hours. Lovely graphics and music. Very poignant ending, and good use of the theme. I'd love to see more!

The art style was mind-blowing, too short to really get into though. Awesome job!

Amazing audio and graphics!! Very short though, would like to see a larger version of it :)

I really hope to see the full game on Steam :D

This it most certainly the most beautiful game I've played this LD. The graphics were stunning and the story was better than expected.

However this honestly could have just as easily been a short pixelart animation. It didn't really use the fact that the player had control of the character to it's advantage at all. If you were to continue this, maybe that would be something you want to think about.

In the end though this is an amazing LD game and thank you for making it.

Great mix of elements, the graphics are superb, but is too short.

Awesome. Fantastic. Beautiful

Graphics are awesome. Music is great. However it's really short even for a Compo entry. I think time was a factor here. Hope you plan to make it to a longer game with the same atmosphere.

More like an interactive short story, but a really really good one at that. Damn I was really stunned! Still am.

the graphics and mood of this is simply superb, Would have liked to see some more 'game' but as a short narrative experience this seems to get the best value out of the development time.

What a pity you had to cut out content, I would love to play more of it with that art, that music and that atmosphere!

Awesome game. Unfortunately very unfinished... The mood... It's something, I just can't descriped in me words. It's very atmospheric.

By the way, can you share soundtrack with commununity? :) I can not forget how it sounds)

@Menesetsu: http://soundcloud.com/huruey/sinister-1 :)

Way, way too short.

Needs sound effects! Even just footstep sounds.

The graphics are ridiculously nice. I take it you spent most of the time on them? Well, I don't know..

The music's nice too, until it goes all dubstep. Not my cup of tea.

Not much else to say I think, given how short it is. Really a shame.

damned i wanted to rate 6 stars for gfx and music but i am limited to 5 !

WOW! This would be perfect aside from all of my i5 processors running 50-80% once the music kicks in. Love the additive transitions and the story telling. Loved the music and how it ties in with the transitions. A wonderful find and a surprising entry from such a short dev time. Definitely an honor to connect this world to its ending credits. :)

There wasn't much in the way of gameplay, but the art and music were phenomenal!

Amazing art and music!!! You should keep going!

It's very pretty, and it also sounds very pretty (until the dubstep kicks in >.>), but there really isn't any gameplay. Personally, next time I'd focus on getting your gameplay across before working out all the (seriously, gorgeous) graphics.

@puppymythril: I'm personally quite keen on narrative based "interactive experience" type games. I prefer to prioritize experience over gameplay. To me, "gameplay" is just another tool for contributing to an experience.

Beautiful! I especially liked the text effects and the slow reveal of the world to help establish mood.

Unfortunately little substance, but such is Ludum Dare. I feel like dubstep was an odd choice given -- as I interpreted it -- the theme of separation from a loved one in death.

Wow, exceptional artwork. The setup and mood was great. Shame it wasn't longer.

Gorgeous graphics & music, great work!

Beautiful.

I think we already have a winner, and it's this game! I'll never forget that soundtrack or those amazing graphics. Great job!

You are in today's episode of Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JejUnupw6aI

The direction is amazing for a game this short =O. I don't really like the dubstep though >_<.

Maybe more an interactive cut scene than a game but F*** THAT'S PERFECT.

Animation, graphics, controls, i can tell nothing... But nothing really new in gameplay and the theme is more background that inside but something so finished in 48H... how many hand/brain have you? :D

You kill me! ;)

Very beautiful game, both the narrative and the visual effects are really well done. I fail to see the connection to the theme though, but I feel the game already shows a lot of personality by itself!

Wonderful graphics, music, effects. Wonderful most of it.
I did however have a problem with <space> not seeming to activate the lever, so I got stuck there, or if it did activate it, I never noticed and couldn't jump the distance.
A pity since I was enjoying myself.

Great art and intro scene!

@local minimum: The key required to activate the lever is on the far left of the map.

Really, really pretty. My Haswell i5 laptop isn't fast enough to play it, though, so I won't score it.

Absolutely incredible. Artwork is amazing. Totally blown away !

Short yet freaking awesome.

talk about polish!

wow, so many comments but yeah, really short but dat pixel art. Interesting theme but it looks more upbeat than sinister, unless the guys is about the kill the girl.

10/10 Awesome game!

i really like the atmosphere of this game, short of course, but a really nice beginning. a lot of potential here

Probably the best game I've played so far this compo. Well done

This is a very beautiful entry. The art, audio and animations are superb. Shame about the length of it. I think this could be the intro of a very cool game that I hope you finish some day.

just beautiful :)

Rage inducing jealousy-ishly good visuals, audio and mood :)

Excellent mood ! Graphics and effects are amazing ! A must see :) Too bad it's too short, please make a post compo version !

Great art , I got stuck on the first switch though

Awesome graphics, awesome sound, awesome atmosphere ...and a very short story ;)

Great looking game with music that worked really well. Loved the intro and mood you set up but just wish it was longer. Hopefully you expand upon this.

Breathtaking! This is hands down the most beautiful game I've seen this LD so far, and the most atmospheric one too. That introduction sequence was very well done, and feels as if its the start of a grand, classic adventure. The background music was also amazing and didn't just fit the mood, it strengthened it. Don't let LD be the end of this game! You clearly put a lot into it and it's just begging to be made into a full game. A proof-of-concept with this caliber of production quality is more than enough to get people excited.

As others said, it's a shame that you were not able to develop this further. But I guess, you will make a game out of this or at least a post-compo version, or not?

@Steven Colling: Yes, I will be making this a into a full game after my current project. :)

Awesome pixel art and a great use of the tech (HaxeFlixel woot!). The sprites are also really vivid and well animated. Hope you continue working on it in some way :)

Very beautiful game! Art, music, mood are superb. I feel like the intro is long-winded considering the length, but this would be a great beginning to a full game. Shame you couldn't work in some interesting gameplay. Very impressive though! Great job!

great game

high marks for graphics, audio mood. I would have liked to have seen more of a game here. But what you have is very impressive indeed. nice job.

Great looking game, would have liked some way to speed up the text. Wish there was also a little more gameplay here but the mood and atmosphere are great.

Glad I was able to see this game before judging ends. Too short, but it's worth the quality. Good job

Nice start to a really pretty game.

Absolutely beautiful, but far too short. It's begging for more.

Wow, what an awesome game this is! That pixel art is gorgous and together with the music it really sets the mood. Great job!

AMAZING GAME!

My computer is pretty beefy, and I play a lot of games at 2560x1440 with maxed out settings, but I got about 5 FPS tops here. Gorgeous, otherwise.

Dietrich

Dietrich Epp: I've played it on some pretty rubbishy laptops and it wasn't nearly as bad as that. I suspect something else is wrong. Could you check your power and GPU settings and let me know if anything helps?

The graphics are amazing!

GG!!!
Sad to be so short :/
But the animations, music, mod, humor!
Good Entry

Short but good. I really like the visual style and the music is awesome.

I really hope you continue this game after the jam. This is so well made. The art and the "juice" animations are just phenomenal. One of the best entries I've played. Hope to see more someday.

Aw, too short. I want more. So beautiful.

Really nice graphics and music. Loved the general feel of this game.

Cool _intro_ for an adventure- / puzzle- / atmospheric-walking-simulator-game you got there! Would've been really cool if instead of teleporting me to the correct spot, the level would have just risen from beneath my feet naturally ;). Even though there isn't much gameplay, I think the little gameplay there is helps the player to immerse and feel invested in the game and the story.

The moon and the stars appearing is definitely one of my favourite gaming moments of all time.

Anssi@MooseflyGames

Aside from the great art not a very statisfying experience. You created a great atmosphere but the rest was meh :(

apiotrw: Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. Could you possibly provide any more feedback as to what you felt was missing, other than, I presume, the length? Thanks.

I like short, story-centered experiences like yours. And I also think that your art is amazing! Great work there. But I think the way you delivered the story (some text and at the end the "meeting" with the wife/gf) was too shallow. I think your game could benefit a lot by some more storytelling techniques like environmental storytelling etc. To the gameplay aspect: I think Sinister could profit from better puzzles than simply "Find the key".

Don´t get me wrong that I think this is a bad game. Sinister had great potential and so were my expectations when I saw it.
Nevertheless amazing work for 48 hours. :)

Awesome little taster, would love to play more of this!

Great graphics, great music, great mood. I included it in part 26 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/hvOt_bkuFkM

Very nice mood, graphics and music. Want more game though.
Greate entry!

Awesome graphic and theme. A lot of mood. A bit too short though.

Incredible.

Wow, I want more. Music was amazing, graphics were amazing. Even though it was very short I'm very impressed with what you managed to make in the time frame. Wish I got to rate this!
