Honestly amazing job on the game and I am looking forward to further story, especially when the game feels like it is only pointing at what happened with the creation of the Starlings. Even the story of how the game came to be is an interesting layer to the narrative.
Loved the visuals, especially the ‘drown’ scene, that splice between 2d image and 3d model is haunting as if it’s breaking out of the game. I did try my best in the game, if anything was hidden I could not find it and I played for quite a while.
The only problem I have is I’m not sure where the meta ends, looking through the clips I can’t tell if I can find all in the game, or if I am meant to look through the game files for more story. Still I looked through all of them and really expanded on the story. It was surprising finding the rock clip, and your mocap test must have been fun making.
Shame I missed the game on release if it was not for ‘manlybadasshero’ playing the game I would never have found it, tucked away in adult content.
A game that I really enjoyed trying. It really manages to give a feeling of a 64 game (apart from the cutscenes) and a simpler and more objective gameplay. The horror of the game is also interesting but I felt I didn't get all the secrets. I would like some help to create even more videos about this amazing game.
The horror elements and how they're implemented is downright amazing. I don't think most horror games of this kind can really hold a candle to this. The cutscenes are genuinely some of the best I've ever seen. The only complaint I really have (and it's mostly a problem with me) is that I have an Auditory Processing disorder and the telephone recordings are played low and are processed, so this makes it almost impossible for me to understand what is being said. Is there a transcript of some kind I can look to? I really want to know what they're saying. This game really is amazing.
Not just you either. Had to watch a youtube video of someone playing the game instead just so I could get the automatic captions to understand what was being said. Kinda annoying considering there's subtitles in other parts of the game tbh.
Dev, any chance of an update adding subtitles to all parts of the game?
Yeah, I'm 100% down to add them. I'm so sorry about this, this was a huge oversight on my part, and I apologize for ruining the game experience. I'll add them next update
Thank you so much! Oversights happen, don't worry ^^ What matters is how you respond about it and your responses have been very positive! Super good game though, and it's fantastic that you'll add them in.
This game is horror done right! I can't give high enough praise of this game. Not only was it something that you can play that has a beginning and an end, BUT it does it in an appropriate for the times way.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this game. I know that I won't be forgetting about it for a very long time.
Thank you so much!! This has been a year’s worth of work, I’m so happy to have finally pushed out a product. It’s people like you who make me wanna keep going :)

Oh, I am so sorry, we totally failed to account for this.
I'm new to itch, is there any way I can "Spoiler Tag" the transcript?

Thank you so much for taking this into consideration!!!!
I don't know if there are spoiler tags, but I have seen other Devs put it into the title of the file.

You can ABSOLUTELY tell how much work you put into it. Here it is almost 3 days later and I'm still thinking about it.
One of the scenes that keeps rolling around in my mind is the super liminal white poolroom. Was Anemoiapolis your inspiration for those scenes?
I know it's semi obscure, but your room had that same feeling of both not being 'right' and depressingly empty, but also something was watching you.
I may be wrong, but I think I heard a little tune in there first used by a Youtuber named Jordan Go To Sleep in a video named This is My House. Cool!
