Mind Adventum by ArcherOfFaith

[raw]
made by ArcherOfFaith for Ludum Dare 54 (COMPO)

cover (2).jpg At times we feel uncertain and confusion... unsure of our next steps or direction... as if we are wandering in the darkness of an endless maze looking for a way out. But we can free ourselves from the captivity of our minds. There is a light within each of us - an Inner Light that holds the power to illuminate our path and guide us out of the darkness. However, we must heed its whispers and follow its gentle glow, lest we risk being forever consumed by the shadows.

This was cool. Atmospheric and inscrutable. I love that it requires you to be patient. I love the use of lighting. Unique entry.

I got to the ending, but the text faded before I could finish reading it :frowning2:

It sounds like a dramatic sense where visual, mechanics and sounds mixed up in the deep atmospheric mood. I like it. And a very interesting navigation mechanic!

Quite atmospheric and calming game. Wanted to know where the lights are guiding me. The maze is rather big, but eventually reached the end. The text disappeared raher quickly for my taste and the game crashed at the end. But those are no big issues. Well done!

Nice chill vibe with good music. I did not figure out how to use the space bar effectively. Great job creating such an atmosphere given the limited time!

I was about to stop playing right before I found the finish (I wasn't sure if it even had an end). I'd suggest either making it shorter, or giving the player some hint that they're getting somewhere. Though... I guess my confusion did play into your theme, so maybe that was on purpose :)

Also didn't get to read all the text at the end, it faded away too quickly.

Otherwise it was a cool experience. It felt rewarding every time I found the light of the orb I sent flying away.

I got genuine chills playing this game, at first I was confused and scared, but then I followed my inner light and found the way out of the maze of fears and confusion... this game is poetic, atmospheric, and genuinely very cool... 5/5 this was a very touching and deep experience...

Very atmospheric and meditative) I liked the mechanics of sending the light forward - though, sometimes its quite tricky to ge it back (and it makes sense). Great entry!

Love the music and atmospheric vibe! Played for about ten minutes but did not reach the ending...Still I appreciate how it demands patience from the player and the clever use of lighting throughout. Cover is also cool!
