Really amazing graphics. I was wondering why the download was so huge, but this explains it. Unfortunately, I keep getting stuck and unable to move - next to the window, next to the changing table.

Beautiful graphics! Unfortunately I could not get into the story and I promptly got myself stuck in the world geometry.

Amazing voice acting and atmosphere set up by high quality graphics + post processing. The slightly crazy narrator really gave it a Stanley Parable kind of feel, really mysterious but somehow related to you. I also love the story telling with how the actual context is left for speculation. To improve this game, I think the walk needs to be smoother with less bobbing, and the collision physics need to be fixed. Overall, amazing small adventure game fitting the theme of ldjam37.

Great graphics and nice audio. I didn't have the problems with the collision, but I read about it before and was a little careful. Because of its seriousness I thought the "note"-joke was out of place and broke my immersion a bit. But like kn2322 said, definetly getting a Stanley Parable vibe here.

Thanks for all the great comments guys, I'm happy to hear most are enjoying the game.

I'm currently searching for the root of the physics bug that gets the player stuck sometimes, until I find a good fix you can just hit the spacebar to jump a bunch and it will free you.

Gorgeous. Nice modelling, materials and lighting. Really cool set up and I like the mystery element to it. Good work!

Absolutely gorgeous audio and visuals! Great submission! My only problem with the game is that pesky physics bug =/ Can't wait till you get it fixed =)

Nicely done! The paintings are lovely, and the rooms all felt very natural and lived-in.

Amazing! Good graphics and great ambiance. It reminded me of Stanley Parable. It's quite impressive, good job. However, I had the same problems others have and got stuck often and the weak jump did not help a lot when it happened.

I really liked the graphics and voice acting. Great job on setting the mood and telling the story through the objects in the room.

I got stuck twice. Once in a wickerbasket, the other in a corner. The graphics were great, and I really enjoyed the eerie atmosphere. Some of the voice overs were good, others not so good, but good potential!

I loved the art in this game. Got stuck once, but jumping solved that fortunately! Cool to see this kind of take on narrative, you don't see that often.

The player stuck bug has been fixed on all OSes! I'm a little embarrassed about that one, thanks for being patient.

Wow really cool game, looks great too. Did you use 3D scanning? the props look really good.

The story was getting interesting but seemed to end quite abruptly. Its interesting though, I enjoyed it.

Nice job!

Also "SHE LOOKS AROUND THE ROOM FOR MORE THINGS!" was great haha

Lovely looking game but a bit fiddly to play. I couldn't get out of the first room and only knew there were other rooms from the screenshots. Some kind of cursor or highlight on objects I can interact with would really help. Would like to hear the rest of the story though!

Nice narration and great visuals. Definite Stanley Parable/Dr. Langeskov vibes!

Really good game, but I really hope for the whole story (replayed it for both white and black door hoping that there is more...)

I had ideas for more (of course) and worked right up until the end of the 72 hours just to get what I have! The reception has been so positive I'm considering making a full version.

Loved it! Awesome voice acting and graphics. I love how the narration reacts to you. The whole thing felt a little wonky to play, but I can't quite put my finger on why.

AAA+ Graphics! Decent voice acting, had a couple things that made me chuckle but overall it could have felt more believable. Amazing sound effects though! I was very interested in the story but I was disappointed with my ending. I will have to see if the other is any different.

This game has really great graphic and the asides recall me the <The Standley Parable> that is also to make a surrealism space with the meta-things. Using these room to make a special narrative with the girl, it was great ! The fake door and the choices between white door the black door can also create a lot of amazing feeling and creative things.

I am also a fans of <The Standley Parable> and I have also made a strange game in this LD, you can try it and give some feedback~

Wow that was great, thank you!
Made me feel some really interesting things. Great atmosphere! Also graphics are really nice, especially for Unity. And the voice-acting, oh boi, it's good!

so many questions about the story. Are we dead? Why can't I see myself in the mirror? Why does the floor plan make no sense? Why is there nothing outside? And most importantly, why didn't I get to see this narrator before the game ended? I really wanted to!

Outside of that, it's a wonderful entry and I enjoyed every little bit of it.
