Are there rules to the puzzle? It would have been neat if you had to look for the negative space to create a series of shapes, or maybe look through the holes in some shapes to uncover the invisible shapes. \r\rThe 3D positional sound was awesome, but it would have helped if it could be heard from just a little further away. The voice acting was great, and extremely clear. I also liked the way the music seemed to gradually introduce more elements as I discovered parts of the puzzle. It had incredible atmosphere too."},{"author_name":"mkghoster","author_uid":"92669","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 7:55pm","epoch":1461700200,"text":"It was hard to find the shapes but I just couldn't quit the game.

Were there rules to which shapes gave you story that I was missing or was it as random as it seems? My only complaint really is that I couldn't figure out how to find "shapes" other than randomly running around and hoping. Perhaps if the noise indicating you were near the right spot started from a bit further away, that would have helped? Still, though, very neat concept."},{"author_name":"yuigoto","author_uid":"50909","time":"May 9, 2016 @ 8:59pm","epoch":1462827240,"text":"Great work! Loved how you worked with the shapes but, as some people said, it's kinda hard to find'em all, couldn't stop until I found everything, though. :P\r\rThe graphics are just perfect for the style and the setting, together with the audio, sets some nice mood! The narrative is really good too! :)\r\rChallenging in its own way, but very pleasing to play!
