Under rating threshold (show) Amazing. For those who don't like this game: sorry you don't understand the concept... well go play another game about magic or killing people or other themes like that.

Under rating threshold (show) This was a very sweet game, especially for something so short. And the ending was very nice. It was quite linear but in a very nice, limbo sort of way, as AceOfJ said. I'd love to see another game from you! The artwork and soundtrack were wonderful and the storyline was kind of interesting, although something of more complicated sorts would be nice, with more of a goal. Great game! 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) The linearity of the game (which I think commenters have overstated), is actually an important part of what the game is about. The character finds himself in a world that the doesn't understand and can only weakly control, a feeling reinforced by the limitation of the player's choice. "Linear" shouldn't necessarily be a bad word in game design.

Under rating threshold (show) I didn't really get into the atmosphere of the game, probably because we get that we are dreaming from the start and there isn't really that much dialogue or action in the game. Seemed like it could have been one of my own dreams though and the art alone gives it a 5/5 imo, worth playing and replaying in case you didn't get all the orbs

Under rating threshold (show) * SPOILER SECOND ORB * to get the second orb in the bedroom you must line up cortis beneath his own picture.... ( make sure to that he is facing the same way as the picture) so when you jump up it matches with the picture. I got this orb by being stupid and jumping up at certain things xD

Under rating threshold (show) Had a strange bug. The text "Where am I?" didnt appear the first 20 or so times I loaded the game, and I couldn't move. It finally appeared and I can move now. Haven't seen anyone else report having this bug so very odd, unless the game was in the middle of a hidden update.

Under rating threshold (show) Interesting, promising story, good choice of music. However, I do feel this pushes the definitions of 'game' a little, since there was no challenge aside from the collection of orbs, a task which the player has little incentive to complete. I know it's just a prologue, but I was expecting a little more. Still, looking forward to see how this develops...

Under rating threshold (show) Agreed with the previous comments - pretty linear but I have to say this game is beautiful. And also the sound it fantastic. It would be nice to see some more interactions rather than just go walk the valley to the quarry and back - some small puzzles, button interactions or alternative routes would be nice. Really, really looking forward to the final product, this is a terrific taster.

Developer response from blakemoso

I'd like to note that Limbo is NOT "original" nor is it what inspired this game. There are many great games that are made in this style, most of which came before limbo. In-fact, the inspiration for this game is called "Coma", which in it's turn, was inspired by "Nevermore". The spider was a coincidence (I mean really, spider's are probably one of the most common "scary creatures" used in all media) that I noted while playing limbo, halfway through the development of this game. I decided not to change my plans just because of limbo, and I apologize if anyone is upset about that.

Under rating threshold (show) Okay all the orbs Specified: 1. Leave The starting screen and return. 2. When you "wake up" re-enter your bedroom and go under the painting while facing the same way then jump. 3. After getting shot keep heading left. 4. After hopping down the cliff walk under it. 5. When you get the shovel and are about to dig the holes say "no" and it will ask you if you want to dig for treasure. Do so. 6. Return the shovel to the guy. Credit to Gigalamesh and Innominate.

Under rating threshold (show) For the second orb, you have to *face left* and jump in front of your picture in your room. You know, so your face lines up with it. Which explains why people think it's from leaving and reentering, they probably jumped after they re-entered.
