The intro was perfect, the music was perfect, the character design was perfect,  and there was an incredible sense of nostalgia. For a game so short it has really made an impact on me.

This post made me & my music guy very happy <3

I found your game strange and odd in the best of terms. The whole graphic style has reminded me of something, but I can not remember, with all my will, exactly what. It's almost as if I have played such a game before, but all memories of it have been erased. That has positively contributed to the gothic atmosphere for me, I suppose. :D All the little fragments and references (with the Ancient Ones and the small cave drawing you play on the Cthulhu myth, right?) are just wonderfully placed, and at the same time the game has a certain sense of humor in it. That was just gorgeous. A great jam submission that I liked to recommend in our compilation article about the Gothic Novel Jam. :) One minute of gameplay is also shown in the accompanying video. Keep it up!

Best wishes,
Sebastian

Thanks so much for the feature on your article! Glad to hear that it gave you an uncanny feeling...

Cthulu mythos is definitely an inspiration, although this world is also just full of giant flying sea creatures, so like the best artists the cave-people are just working with what they know ;)

Well, what a great little project. I really liked the use of the texture pack and it reminded me of the old FPS games (doom, hexen, heretic etc) and the audio complemented the journey so well.

"I just sent you off so I could vomit" hahaha, that will teach you to drink some old mushroom wine.

I also noticed octopus symbol/drawing in the cave and It reminded me of the octopus on the cliff face at the start of rage. Is it symbolic?

Then when I found the ancient item and and gave it the NPC, he then killled the angels which made me feel a little sad as they were doing nothing but it is dark atmospheric adventure and t it's part of the story.

None the less, I really enjoyed it and thank you for developing this great little atmospheric adventure.

Keep up the great work

Thanks very much! You're correct with those inspirations; also the pixel art aesthetic of Vagrant Story (which IMO is probably the most impressive use of medieval graphics on the PS1...)

As for the symbolism of the cave paintings - I'm planning another game in this series which focuses more on the 'pagan' parts. So, maybe you'll find out... ;P

I did play it a few times and really enjoyed the game. The atmosphere was fantastic and at the end I wished it had a little bit more of journey to it but you all did really well. I couldn't nor do have the time  to develope a game (but i am thinking about it) so I am always looking forward to seeing what comes out to play.

Awesome and good luck

It would be see more of this world.. and reach a destination. Oh, and not sorry about the angels... they're creepy. :) 

I liked it - the murky low-poly, billboards and chunky pixel aesthetic. There was a bit too much traipsing back and forth though I thought, although it's interesting to have so mundane a task and then, I guess, inadvertently cause a masacre?

Thanks very much, that's great feedback! Yeah I was trying to subvert the usual 'quest' narrative somewhat. Like, maybe you shouldn't just go and do what some rando dude wants
