- Play with sound turned on. - Set lower resolution for better performance.
Nice! Cool graphical style, and technically well done! I kept on digging, and some story unfolded, but I don't really know what happened. Am I missing something?
I enjoyed playing this one and played it until the end.
Few notes: - Character moves slowly, it would be nice if he could sprint for a bit, and therefore lowering time when running around searching for items. - Items are not easy to recognize (they could be animated or having more contrast), especially the rope ... I pretty much noticed the rest right away, but I went 2 times next to rope before realizing something is there (or I might be just blind, that is also possible) - Z-fighting, at the edge of map, sand hill z-fights with the floor, try moving it up little bit (or use polygon offset, or any other solution), which will remove the flickering
Anyways, I enjoyed this entry. Keep up the good work!
This was a really cool way to explore a world! I can't recall playing anything where I get to experience a current time environment and instantly switch back to the past.
Like others have commented, I loved the visual style too. Especially the details that went into the buildings and how they were eroded over time. The missing head on the one statue was such a lovely touch.
I also wished the characters moved faster (although I can understand why you wouldn't want to rush the experience) and that the rope was easier to distinguish (a different colour maybe?).
you made a fool of me by searching for a bucket and a rope to get water from the well! Shame on you! but it was a nice experience ;) maybe a bit to slow paced
Nice game. Great use for voxels. I really like the past viewer artefact idea. Struggled a to find the rope - I thought it was a tree. A run button would have been nice.
Neat concept AND execution. As others have said, character movement was really slow. Also I kept falling through the floor in the web version, so I downloaded win version - no porblems there.
I really enjoyed the experience, the graphics and the mood.
A few personal comments: the character movement was a little bit irregular and the collisions during the jump stopped the movement which was a little bit disturbing.
The game looks quite nice. However, I didn't really understand the story. I didn't find the rope, and with this really slow walking speed it was a bit annoying to search for it. However, I found the stone and then could somehow open a door and then the game ended...

Other than that a really good submission !
