COR by ENDESGA
'It's time to follow your heart'
This is an experimental game by Seth Groom, the maker of NIKRA.
Travel in the mind of a man, who's love has escaped him. Learn the ways of life and rediscover his love. Or will his love rediscover him...?
This is a slow, somewhat-meaningful game. So be patient, and read all the signs, makes choices, and think about her.
Once you've played COR, please comment below how it made you feel. Did it affect you in any way? Or was it boring and a waste of time? Tell me what you think :)

v1_1: Fixed some issues to do with audio.
COR NEWS:
COR has been featured in numerous game websites and has also had a few gameplay videos done on it. I'm really happy that people love this game :)
As requests be many people, I will be continuing work on COR, fixing bugs, adding more paths, and building on to the story. COR will be released on Android when it's done (as well as on Windows).
Thanks again!

Amazing art and great way to make people think! :)
Remember to re-play it and 'Give' the heart if you Took it the first time!
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm happy that people understand it :)
Well done.
I might actually build on this game after Ludum Dare ;) add some more things, more levels, more features.
Thanks again!
Now this is one game that I will remember for a very long time...
Just can't wait to find all the rest of the paths!
I went like an idiot and gave my heart away...
ALL FIVEs is in order!!
Press 'esc', and if that doesn't work, press the left arrow key :)
Such epic. You sure you're not going pro?
You spent no more than 6 minutes downloading and playing each title? I'm going to give your game 6 minutes including the time it takes to download and rate it based on that. Let's see how fair that is.
I've played a lot of 'Least Rated Games', which included a lot of duds.
I've spent more than 3 hours sitting here rating games.
Please don't judge until you've played, thank you.
(GM:Studio, yay!)
Thanks =)
I promise that you will play this one day :)
Btw, "cor" in portuguese means color :)
Which is coincidentally nice, since the only colorful aspect of the game is the heart itself.
Nice art and mood.
Best Ludum Dare Game I've played, ever.
I mean it. It wasn't the most fun or exciting, but everything else made it an awesome game.
@MrBlade I'll look into it, I think I know what you're talking about...
As for the game, it was a bit too litteral for me to be a really meaningful experience. I was told too much and shown too little. Some nice use of visual symbolism, but not too much of that in the game mechanics, which I would have liked to see.
If you have time, rate my game too! I would really appreciate it :))
It didn't feel too vague or too much like you were forcing the concept to seem huge and existential. It was just delivered seamlessly through text and gameplay, and we are all better off now because of it haha.
Really great job, I enjoyed the game very much.
It is beautiful.
Every mark on 5/5.
I can die.
If you love this game, please tell people :)
Nice job !!
I'm going to export it to Android and Web sometime after the comp :)
True... But this for me was mostly just an experiment. If I were to remake it and spent months instead of 2 days then it would probably be a lot better.
Hopefully it's not too bad :)
However I must agree with Nelien and JaJ that it was a bit too literal. Too much story, less interaction. If you continue working on it - please consider removing texts, and letting the player guess what is happening without guiding him all the time. Give him breadcrumbs and let him build the story himself.
About "sometimes things are not what they seem" and walking on air - it's nice idea, but it's good to have some visual feedback attached to it, like "semi-transparent, almost invisible" tile once you land on it. So you actually know it's not a bug and it's supposed to behave like this.
Anyway - compliments for making such an experiment!
Yeah, I understand what you mean :) And well, I could've done it. I personally am not very good at expressing things that make people think (if that makes sense). So, making a game WITHOUT text, for me, would have been very difficult.
If I ever build on COR I will take your opinion into account :) thank you
The red heart really leaps out.
I also like the twist when you enter the 'dark' part.
Although there was not much choice the game made you feel in control because you could walk around. That way you feel like you discover the story in stead of just being told stuff.
the message itself wasn't really for me, but with this kind of story telling you can't please everybody, it's personal.
Good job.
The story/message of the game didn't really click much with me, but it was nicely constructed regardless. Graphics were well done, and the background music was good and unobtrusive.
