I love every bit about it: posteffects and their distortion that you used; how the walk cycle changed and gradually faded into a running cycle in a massive area; slow but steady story progression and a sudden increase in enemies' amount right behind the character's back. Your project is also similar to Kentucky Route Zero, if to speak about graphics.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Pedro Miranda","author_uid":"1036195","time":"2017-12-06T16:52:35Z","epoch":1512579155,"modified":1512579155,"text":"Awesome entry, graphics are beautifull and the story is great.
