"Habitually do I sound the depths of human hearts.
Some stretch cloudless to the horizon -
while others know only the drumbeat of rain."


Description
This is a (~~probably~~ very hardcore) puzzle game made for LD57, the theme is Depths, and it belongs to the COMPO category.
All of the game art, music, etc. are made by myself.
I used Godot 4.4 as the game engine, drew with SAI2, made simple animations with Aseprite, and wrote BGM in Bandlab (although it was just a jumble of a few notes). The main part of the game took about 40h to complete. Ah. Dead tired (> <)
Anyway it's a tiny story about the depth of one's heart. There are currently five chapters. It takes 1-2 hours to complete all of them. If you can't solve some of these puzzles, check out the comments section of itch's page for hint!
Hope you enjoy it ૮₍ ˃̶ ꇴ ˂̶ ₎ა
