That was really effective and well made. Kudos. Really excellent choice of music, and a nice, consistent art style. I got chills a few times, I know some of these feelings.
Hands down the best game of the jam so far. Amazingly designed, thorough, smooth, beautiful, thoughtful and bugless. You one of the only devs I know of who has successfully game-jammed on depression without being insensitive or condescending. The scoring was gorgeous and everything fitted the tone you were trying to cultivate.
Though it was surreal and artsy, its meaning was conveyed within the grasp of an idiot teenager like myself - and that was down to excellent game design (you) as opposed to the actual concept.
I thoroughly congratulate you on your entry and can't wait to see your work on future jams!
Do you have a twitter handle? (I wish to keep up with the awesome)
Wow, that was one of the most unique amazing experiences I've ever had, even outside of this game jam of any game I've played. I'd really like to see more works from you!
Very touching game. By the way I don't get wherer the theme are...

Great art style, music and atmosphere complements very well. A very unique experience, not what I would expect in Ludum dare. I look forward to seeing more games from you!
You dismissed the theme completelly. It was a really great and inspired experience, congratulations. Every mechanic work flawlessly to reinforce the emotions. Great work.
Amazing presentation. The graphics and audio are incredible and stylish. I did notice that the screen was a bit offset on my computer (1600x900 resolution) but it seemed to fix itself at the end of each section and was perfectly centered for the credits. Luckily, this didn't really cut off too much stuff, though it did seem to mess with the controls, as the mouse didn't take the offset into account.
This is a very good art style for the kind of emotion that you are conveying. Both the graphics and sound grab you right away. This is an awesome entry.
One technical thing: I played through the game and clicked the 'quit' button at the end and then the game crashed and I got the Windows 'send error report' dialog.
Love how surreal this game is! Amazing graphics and audio. Didn't really like the controls though, especially the spinning. I think the phone scene is my favorite, felt very tense! Overall very well done!
It feels quite honest and polished for what it is. I'm glad the lack of ratings gave room to these kinds of narrative games - I'd have no way of traditionally judging this.
But describing your own entry as "a deep psychological experience", "full of meaning" etc. is kind of overkill, no? You should let the game speak for itself.
Very interesting game! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/lcfUdhXZ_XQ
It was a fascinating experience, with awesome art! But it does not play well on a 1280 x 720 screen resolution!
I guess because of the fact that we were playing in such a low screen resolution, some things were harder to figure out how to progress the story. That often muddled our experience. Perhaps because of this, the later parts felt less effective than the beginning, where the interaction was more obvious. The ship part in particular felt frustrating, while the knocking part I was most indifferent with.
