About
Hi! Thanks for clicking on my game. Even bigger thanks if you play it...!
Anyways, this is the first game I've finished that I liked enough to post online.
I wanted to practice my narrative design skills and make something a little more atmospheric. I hope you enjoy it.

I felt I understood these beings. Disorganized, desperately searching for some way to mold their strained souls into the sea of chaotic flesh filling the world around them. That's what I've been doing for a while, at least. It wasn't a surprise to see it tagged as a queer game after I was done with it!
I loved the characters. The world felt special. The Methodical One gives me gender envy. The platforming sections had some awkward controls but I felt adventurous exploring the different areas.
I think this game has inspired me to do some game development of my own, which I've been wanting to do but haven't had the motivation for, so thanks for making a neat game!
Lovely little game, I had a good time! There was one jumping puzzle (the one with the pillars) where I ended up using the noclip mode, but other than that I think the level design worked well. I really liked all the different environments, and how surreal some of it was.
Enjoying the aesthetic, but as a lefty, not being able to re-map the movement and jump keys makes the platforming really frustrating. I'd like to explore more but can't.
UPDATE*: Thanks for the impressively quick update; was delighted to be able to explore everything and experience the whole narrative! Really enjoyed it.

Ok, I've added some new, hopefully more lefty-friendly controls, and also made the platforming quite a bit easier. Tell me if it's still too hard.
Oh wow, thanks! I'll re-download it and give it a shot.
That made a big difference; I appreciate you taking the time to act on my feedback - and so quickly! I was able to finish it this time. Glad to get to experience the whole narrative.
I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere, and the contrast of the bright colours and patterns of objects with the overall darkness, and the way they would emerge from shadow as I travelled. As someone who really loves exploring, this hit all the right buttons for me. I look forward to revisiting it again in the future.
nice retro
