This indeed looks like an oil-painting

Great visual style

Well, that was a weird experience. Weird but interesting :D

Well, that was ... weird.

It was difficult to understand the overall game indeed, but aftar this I was pleased with the concept.

Nice arty experience.

Good looking. To be honest, I don't really know wich is the aim of this game, but it's nice. Anyway, enjoyed the art. Cheers!

Nice environment, very nice!

Interesting artsy experience. I didn't particularly have too much fun with it, however I commend the innovation of the concept and thinking outside the box approach

Very art-oriented game. I like it a lot :)

This should be in a modern art gallery.

An interesting experience, evevn though I have no idea what the purpose is, if there is any at all. But the mood in itself is quite cool. I don't get if the background making all those weird shapes is something you wanted or a bug.

It was a weird experience. The last minute of the game really feeled like I'm in a forest.

Oh, i really want to play this game, but it didn't run on windows 7 64 x((((

So strange, because my platform is Win 7 x64 too. Maybe it's not a reason.

Weird weird... Strange shaders. An interesting experience ++

freaknarf18 Dec 2015, 16:04

That was weird... Too much mushrooms...
Great work on sounds and atmosphere !
I was surprised when it ended, and it left me a strange feeling. I think it could be quite frightening with even more visual glitches and flashes !

Weird. I love it. I wonder what it would look like with VR.

jofra18 Dec 2015, 17:56

Really awesome. Love this kind multimedia experiences very well done and very outside of the box. I really enjoy seeing this experiments in this kind of event.
Awesome job :)

reminds me of this is infinity.

Volatile Dove18 Dec 2015, 21:27

Wow weird and cool! I don't know if I reached the end of the game, just a black screen. I love the gradation in the landscape and in the sounds! You grow a forest and then the forest gets you. 5/5 for the theme and graphics.

Pilly19 Dec 2015, 19:33

Really liked this one overall. Great sound effects - loved how they changed as things started growing, and how the overwhelming visual & sound effects were followed by silence and nothingness (guessing that was intentional, but I liked it either way).

xWarZonex22 Dec 2015, 17:40

Really neat visual effects, but that's really all.

alpha_rat22 Dec 2015, 20:28

Strange atmosphere, I liked the psychedelic feeling at the start, but it lacks some depth or real evolution so we quickly see everything it has to offer. It's a bit deceiving as the first impression is weird and surprising!

akirassasin23 Dec 2015, 00:39

The music sounds glitchy, with some dings and bonks? But it made the atmosphere feel like a forest... haha.

After a few minutes trees started to spawn in me. Bug?

Suprauthor23 Dec 2015, 13:33

>>After a few minutes trees started to spawn in me. Bug?

It's not a bug. How one of the players said "You grow a forest and then the forest gets you". Something like that.
