the animation style is beautiful, so atmospheric along with the music! it's so crisp and smoky. really nice design, i'm already drawn into the world of the game and the mystery at hand...looking forward to seeing the rest!
[i'm sure you've already moved past this version, but as a player i didn't immediately realise how to return to the game when i entered the menu/journal/etc. maybe a back button? apart from that, everything is very intuitive]
This is just beautiful! love the animations, the feel of the world and the investigation aspect. Excited to play the full game ✨
(sidenote: the framing in the shattered house reminded me of this ivan's childhood shot)
thank you so much!! and perhaps you are onto something with that sidenote 👀
