A fantastic mood created by gorgeous graphics and wonderful audio, voice over had me hook line and sinker. Excellent work.

Crackin' little game :o) Tingly panic, atmospheric and spooky - vo adds extra oomph - supermint job by everyone :o)

Such great mood and art style! Loved the parallax effect. I wish the gameplay and controls were just a bit tighter!.

Example:
1 - the player doesn't move with the platform, which is really weird in game standards!
2 - most of the times you dash right into another trap, though this is more level design related.

Great entry nonetheless. Good job!

Gorgeous and very atmospheric. I was listening to "Disappearing" by Jessica Curry while playing - perhaps you could incorporate a strings part over your current atmospheric music - it actually works really well.

Gorgeous setting and mood. I must admit I enjoyed the mood more than I enjoyed the gameplay. I kept playing because of it though. ;)

The atmosphere is really cool with simple but efficient graphism and the sound is amazing. But the dash mecanic need small adjustments. Nice work.

By far the best use of audio of all the games I've played so far. Loved the story too.

Nice mood and audio but something doesn't feel right. It's too short maybe I don't know. I expected more than a few dodges, sorry.

amazing audio that really set the mood very well. better voice acting than you hear in AAA. the graphics worked really well with the audio as well and it was a good interpretation of the theme.

the gameplay was nothing to write home about, and i didnt really find the game to be particularly fun.

overall its quite good though

Brilliant narration and I love the abstract art style. The platforming is a bit awkward since you do not move with platorms and the dash attack doesn't guarantee you'll land on them, but a brilliant setting nonetheless.

Really great game with a fantastic mood. Helping to set that mood was the great narration and background noises. A little bit more gameplay would have really pushed this game to greatness. Awesome work!
