Fantastic art and neat character portraits. However, there doesn't seem to be any audio on Chormium (Windows).

"Gameplay" gets kinda boring, but everything else is really cool. Wish there were some choices.

Very nice art, beautiful graphics and cool music and soundFx.

However, the story? WTF guys? Is that what sleep deprivation do to you? :P

Cool art concept, the gameplay (and excuse for the gameplay) is a bit weak.

Very solid entry, well done!

It's nice to see a game with a story, but I think this game might have needed a bit more actual mechanics to be fun.

Super neat atmosphere and characters. Interesting how the game keeps you going although there isn't much classic gameplay, really like it!

Excellent graphics and music. Gameplay is on the weak side compared to the rest of the entry.

Sooo stylish, the graphics and effects are amazing. The buildings feel like they have a real weight to them. But, I didn't find raising and lowering them compelling, and that mechanic did not make me feel connected to the story. I'd love to see a different game set in this world though, with art and audio this well done.

I loved the story, art, and music, but the gameplay was a little frustrating, and I couldn't remember where I first met the sister, and gave up after checking all the floors on building 1. Still, it looked and felt awesome! Good job :D

Very unique art style. Gameplay was boring.

This is the most beautiful game I've seen so far.
There is not too much gameplay, but it's ok.
The art is GREAT, the audio is nice, the plot is good!

I already see this winning 'Graphics' or 'Mood'.

Nice looking game, but yeah, not really that much playing to be had.

As I know your previous entries, this one was a little bit of a downer. I think it was because neither gameplay nor story was great and I really wonder how you came up with this strange idea :D I like the art and sound though, I cannot say anything about them. There were a few bugs like a small glitch one the right side when I was raising up the first tower. Also every time I skip a dialog, tower lights were resetting. You increased our expectations so it will be really hard to top that now :)

I like all the aspects of the game, video, audio, atmosphere... I agree gameplay is a bit limited, maybe you took the theme too serious, but a great entry nevertheless.
