Not very entertaining, and didn't improve the experience. Au contraire, actually. Maybe loose the few artifical extra minutes of gameplay for a more concentrated and more meaningful experience?\n\nOtherwise it's a job well done. Kudos .)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"","author_uid":"1000000","time":"2020-10-06T12:22:15Z","epoch":1601986935,"modified":1601986936,"text":"It boggles my mind you had *sechs Menschen* to playtest this and no one tried going to the left? Really? You will just fall into darkness with no restart button.\n\nI was looking forward to seeing the ending but unfortunately the fire level quickly turned this game from an atmospheric walking sim to an MLG pixel-perfect platformer with annoying controls and wacky collision detection. None of this would have been a problem if you just didn't add that mechanic (controls don't really matter in a walking sim). I got stuck in a loop. It took a decent while to realize that fire's hitbox scales accordingly to its animation, and even then with proper timings the third fire was basically unbeatable (or there was another path but I couldn't look for it because I *fell*). Know your priorities! Don't make your platforming elements difficult if you're striving for an atmospheric game. As soon as my *gamer sense* turned on, I quickly forgot about your (touching) story. Big props for the writing and art though.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"zaibakk","author_uid":"1022936","time":"2020-10-10T16:46:42Z","epoch":1602348402,"modified":1602348421,"text":"Nice entry!

The memory fragments telling a story was very well executed, although I felt that you put a few too many twists and \"powerful\" components into the story, making it into a bit of a mess. Nonetheless, it managed to convey a lot with very simple tools.\n\nI too had problems with the controls and hitboxes during the platforming sections, and walked and fell off the map a few times (I'm still not sure if the ending requires me to walk off the map on the first floor, but that's how I finished it), but I powered through because the game was otherwise worth it.
