Under rating threshold (show) You've definitely got the art down. The game really manages to create an interesting atmosphere. But the gameplay really stops it from reaching its full potential. In your next game please make sure that you design real puzzles. Right now you have two kinds of them in the game: random clicking and obvious hotspots because they are the only points of interest in the scene. Those are both arguably the most boring/frustrating kinds of puzzles. Add some that require the player to use his brain and build up logically. I give it a 3/5. But I'm really looking forward to your next game.

Under rating threshold (show) Highly disturbing. I agree to the comparison to Limbo, but have to say it surpasses Limbo in atmosphere and unsettling scenes. The soul possession mechanic is very fun to play with,and the little 'mini game' in between broke it up nicely. So much for the purely awesome. The puzzles were too easy logically , but too frustrating mechanically. Clicking to move forward is annoying and awkward, and clicking in general was too random and finicky. (Moving the clock face was very awkward and stubborn.) I suggest making puzzles that involve more elements of the environment. I also suggest adding an option for those who prefer easier puzzles to turn on a 'hint glow' or something of the sort, so that you can make difficult puzzles without scaring those off who just want to soak in the atmosphere. 4/5 because I'm a sucker for unsettling games and this one does it superbly, but the puzzles and mechanics left something to be desired.

Under rating threshold (show) I really love games that use this kind of art style approach. What I don't like is having to guess what the hell I'm supposed to do next. And since this game is really making me frustrated on that note, I'm gonna stop and give this game a 3/5 at best. I give your art a 5/5, but the game-play mechanics is so hindering of progress that it gets a 1/5.

Under rating threshold (show) usually i like that kind of game. in this case: nice artwork - lousy game. for a gam,e it is to much frustrating, as the player basically never knows what to do. or what the stuff on the screens means. and just when it begins to make sense, the game ends. meh!

Under rating threshold (show) this seriousl;y rocks the art and sound is simply amazing, and the guy we play is a total git. stealing the guys eye after he helped you made me laugh. gameplay is not great and some of the puzzles are a bit difficult to understand. all in all phenomenal though

Under rating threshold (show) I don't see the appeal of games like this, where one has to search around for the proper order of things. It just becomes I click-fest, and often times the 'order' of things seem very arbitrarily put in place by the game's maker. It's like playing 20 questions with a total stranger.

Under rating threshold (show) The game was moving, in a way, reminded me of a broken heart, when you turn your back even on the ones helping you. I really enjoyed playing it, with all its sadness, and melancholia. I liked the minimalist music; I think you could have done something more with the soundtrack though. The only thing that is that I kind of guessed what to do, so it was more of a story than a game, in a way. I wish you could have made alternate endings. But it was really interesting. 4/5.

Under rating threshold (show) There are plenty of comments on the crappy game play... But you seem to be more of an artist then a game designer (regarding this game). Art wise, look at Disney's 12 principles of animation, seriously, the animation itself is quite sudden, and feels mechanical all the way. Other than that, the story didn't really make any sense for me. I got the atmosphere, the style is awesome, but the story isn't meaningful in any way, especially the ending. What was that? You just jump onto that other guy? I expected a much longer and more meaningful way for it to end, as a reward for my struggles to complete the game.

Under rating threshold (show) uhm... maybe I'm looking for something that actually doesnt exist but... for me... the game was about heart breaking, when someone hurts you really bad, you start feeling out of place, you start hurting others and yourself!(the guy in the cage and the one in the boat, and they actually are exactly like the character) and he/she (the one who breaks ur heart) has control over you (the final part where the evil guy is making tons of persons jumping off a cliff) or... maybe it's just a creepy game with creepy same looking characters xD

Under rating threshold (show) This game gives me really strong vibes of LIMBO. However, LIMBO was a little more challenging with its puzzles, so it may be a nice thing for you to take a look at for some pointers. This is a good game, but with some work, it could be a great one. =3

Under rating threshold (show) What I imagine happened was that you had an awesome idea, full of a lot of interesting scenes, and then you tried to design it.... And it didn't compute. Good intentions, but the game is really frustrating and confusing. I wish you had planned the storyline and gameplay out before you started making it. Afterwards, the artwork. I applaud your effort, but I'm going to have to give this game a 2/5.

Under rating threshold (show) I give you credit for the game... I like the art, gameplay is another story. You should have mentioned that you got inspiration from a game Limbo - artwork is very similar gameplay and story a bit different.. but I suggest others to google or youtube Limbo - a very good and simple game. This one is not Pure copy just a great deal of inspiration take from there.
