    This is absolutely fantastic! I kinda wanna write a book inspired by this, but (even though it would only be very loosely inspired by this) I don't wanna feel like I'm ripping you off! XD

    Incredible! Atmosphere is great and the set pieces are intense. Had to quit prematurely tho, seems the demo may have soft-locked due to a respawn point that made an event seemingly impossible (PC flies thru window, final section where hand breaks bridge).

    looks very good so far, the atmosphere of the weird environment is so cool!
    the game gave me an Ico met Shadow of the Colossus vibe :)
    i was wondering how did you managed to make a playable puppet to carry another?
    i tried to do this but no luck.

    This is so cool! Absolutely love the quiet, tense atmosphere, reminds me a lot of Inside and Limbo. My one complaint is the X/O controls to pick up/put down the body feel unresponsive; took me a while to realize I needed to hold the button, not just press

    Yeah, this ROCKS! Very unique, very interesting, and very weird, I love it. I still have to figure out some of the puzzles to beat it. But so far I think it's great. Good luck with it! I look forward to seeing the end game!!

    Some really interesting and morbid ideas here which synergize well with the mechanics. I began developing a kinship with my lil corpse friend after saving his Æ$$ so many times lol

    My only suggestion would be to add some drone music to empty sections

    Insanely good sound design, excellent storytelling without any dialogue. Excited to see what you do next :)

    An annoying tendency to place checkpoints BEFORE major events aside, this is a really impressive start with uniquely interesting game mechanics. Definitely looking forward to seeing more!

    Amazing. It's like if Team Ico and Hideo Kojima made a game together. I can't believe how well you made such an ambitious concept work. As crazy and scary as all the set pieces are, I always understood what the game wanted me to do. Truly brilliant work!

    I was lucky enough to get to playtest this, so I am heavily biased 😉
    Even so: This demo is an excellent introduction to a world that is compelling both for narrative AND gameplay reasons. The full release cannot come soon enough! 👍
