The fact that things like trees and fire were elements to discover through exploration provided a really cool feeling, but it needs to be coupled with a sense of agency by the player, as though they were intelligently responsible for making the discovery, at least partially. Well, I'll admit that it is subjective, but that's the sort of experience I'm hoping for in a game about exploration and discovery.
+ Cool concept
+ Great mood with music and graphics
Con:
- Order of the gifts were a bit odd to figure out, maybe more hints or different sets of solutions (for example, I started creating fauna and flora so humans could have food when they were created)
Obs:
o I felt that the camera was a bit weird when moving. It seemed like it's a perspective camera... I don't know
Great job!
It's a bit hard to know what to to, i often hit game over without really understanding what was wrong ... Visuals were weird and there is a (probably unwanted) key allowing the player to zoom, so that was even weirder !
You should display a way to restart game at game over, i felt like i had no choice but exit and launch once again the game to try again :)
Thanks for putting this together!
