Lost in forest by rooroo

"My masters are gone. They leave these breadcrumbs in case they get lost. And they lost them. Basically, I lost them? I lost sight of them, and now they're gone.

By the way, I am a bot meant to follow my companions and carry their baggage. My model isn't smart enough—just an old CPU. But I can handle any hard situation, and I am a pretty heavy-lifted version.

Why am I telling this to myself? Enough talking. Go to the signals they left for this situation.

Situation... right."

You are a bot lost in the forest.
Find your way through the forest to your mates:
they've left beacons to help you find your way.

It's a fun concept with the changing camera perspective! The camera on Spline is sometimes a little funny in fullscreen, but once I realized it was that, it was a good small adventure! I liked the art style too!

I like the concept, it was hard to see where I was going since I didn't find how to put fullscreen, but I still got to the end, good job!

Camera was a lil buggy and the bot was hard to control initially. I think I walked him off screen at one point and thought I'd broken it so had to restart. But I like the artstyle honestly, has a gritty sort of horror game vibe. Like playing the older Resident Evils, big fan of that personally. Nice work with it!

It was a bit difficult to handle, but I managed to finish. The art is beautiful.

The art is so whimsical! It's quite hard to do on purpose

Good game! I liked the surreal look of the forest. The main challenge was navigating with fixed camera angles. I even managed to get lost and go off screen completely.

If you want to improve the game, you can add short cutscenes with camera panning from the old position to the new one, so the change is not so abrupt.
