Finding meaning after becoming obsolete is a really lovely angle on Old Tech. I love the little monitor-headed character and the illustrated heaps of discarded electronics. I did find the game a bit hard lol -- man these rats are vicious!... I didnt manage to finish the game 😢 Was the art style inspired by cult of lamb? im a big fan of your choice to go 2.5d :)

I really like the progression system and the wide variety of routes. All of this is complemented by an interesting visual style. However, head-on attacks are very dull, and the rats just look like piles of dirt.

Yes, getting abilities along the way, and having the possibility to use them right away : well done !

I really like the art style! The character is sooo cute! Also the music is good, it's a little bit difficult for me to fight the rats, but the challenging part is also interesting :)

Really good game. Art, audio, controls, level design.. enjoyed all I experienced. After I got dash, I couldn't progress any farther for lack of skill. Would have loved to see more of the game though. Good entry!

The Rat King was too tough for me 😬

Other than that, it's a fantastic game! Really enjoyed exploring the world.
