Beyond the Canyon

love the vibe of this and it's super unique with a great ambience to it, awesome

@smt thanks! was it hard to understand or was it just right?

I think it was just right, it makes sense as you play for sure

Mood was amazing, I like that there's message you're trying to convey.

Good mood. I like such projects with a pronounced narrative (like "The Beginner's Guide"). Nice work.

Really neat experience! Loved the music and mood and it was really cool that you tried to convey a message.

@evileptic thanks! being compared to that game is the highest praise!

@litmuszest thanks a lot for playing :D

@choppers thanks a lot for playing! glad you liked it!

Oh my god, I loved the mood and the message that you sent with this game, nearly sent me to tears. Full 5 star rating!

@iaandrei :D thanks for playing it!! glad you liked it!!

Oh heck yeah, the driving, story, music, well put together! And I got more invested in story as time went on!

I really liked the story of this game! It stayed a bit vague, but I think it will resonate with a lot more people becuase of that. The story reminded me a bit of a game called 'the first tree', do you know it? I can recommend it if you like to play these kinds of games yourself :)
I also really liked that you aimed your game specifically towards this community of game developers near the end :D
Thank you for making this! Great job!

@namrog84 @wuppos Thanks guys for playing it! Glad you liked it :D
I think I have the first tree on my wishlist. I'm a sucker for walking simulators and a good story. It'll be my next purchase then :D

That was deep

wow, that was definitely something. To be honest I didn't expected to play something like that. And as far as I'm not really a fan of walking simulators I can say that it got my attention, maybe because of how emotional it was. Anyway great job!

Cool Idea and graphics. The Story was pretty deep (as well as the levellayout haha). Only thing that threw me out of the story was the car driving. But good job :)

Perfect

Really good game! Cool atmosphere and mood)

Ok, this was to most funny game of this jam! 10/10.

Wow, I see a lot of games that try to be "deep" that end up failing and being cringey, so I'm always a bit wary when I see one. This is not one of those games. You did a phenomenal job at making the gameplay match the story. And the mood was well done.

Since we're strangers on the internet, I'm not sure if this story was personal to you or not, but nonetheless it was profound. I'm sure it'll hit people differently depending on their experiences, but I think you also kept the dialogue heavy on feeling and light on specifics, so I hope people are able to insert themselves into the story.

Very well done!

@andrewkennedy I think that's the highest praise I've ever received on my writing. Thanks A LOT! I was really doubting if the narrative was understandable or maybe too lacking or vague. The story was a bit personal. We're not internet strangers, we're Ludum Dare brothers! :D
Thanks a lot again!!

love the vibe

awesome story game, really heavy on several critical themes and I am sure it will resonate with a few folks that will play your game. Great mood, beautiful music and very smoothing gameplay that leans right into the story. Awesome job

I think this was a fantastic way to portray the "deeper and deeper" theme, its memorable and thought provoking in a way that allows any player to understand its concpet and message. Great work!

Really nice atmosphere here, with a deep story that's clearly conveyed. Great work!

Okay, story is, I finished work, got home, drink a bottle of wine and decided to play some games and stumbled upon this masterpiece. Great work with graphics and driving model. There is no need to mention the mood and theme relevancy, everybody who played knows it is at least 11/10 : D

Really cool and atmoshere game! Just little crying... Great work, like story, like audio and video! Thank you for this game.

@nyanpierre Thanks!!

@karlipoppins Thank you! I had a good time picking the right music!!

@enrique-romero Thanks a lot!! Glad you liked it!

@aidanmarkham Thank you for playing. Happy to know you liked the story :D

@szkocka Thanks for your kind words!! Reviews like yours make gamedev extremely enjoyable!

@zeilanda Glad you liked it!!! Thanks a lot for playing :D

like said @cninja : "that was definitely something. To be honest I didn’t expected to play something like that."
thats exactly what i think about your game. He is awesome. Great job =)

@globulous Thanks!!! Glad you liked it :D

What a very ambitious game! You aimed to tackle some very heavy topics via the theme. I like how the "gamified" approach was involved in the story at the end. Nice work!

Very interesting
Why did you disable rating on the music? It works very well!
I'm always hoping Ill see driving games in game jams - they're rather rare in my experience - very interesting cause here you totally reappripriated it
and the dialogue ain't that well integrated into it - but the whole thing works
and it deals with a very important topic to you

respect, man
fresh, insightful
Thanks for making this,
I enjoyed playing it :)

@strangeryann Hi StrangerYann! Sadly I didn't make the music so I didn't think it was fair to qualify for it. I'd be totally cool with you streaming my game! I'll check if i have any content to send. Thanks a lot for playing :D

Thanks for making me sad! I really like the story arc and battling with the idea of regret. It´s a nice piece of art for a three day project! Did enjoy it!

Very beautiful game. I love the mood of this game. Combining a very sad story with beautiful music made this game feel very... depressing?

The only thing that I want to criticise is the lack of polishing (regarding graphics) in the last sections. I guess, due to the scope of this game, there simply is no time left at the end to polish these parts of the game.

Overall, still, very well done!

Very mood and atmospheric game. Good job
