Got stuck for awhile on the labrynith level. When the doorway is super near to the edge of the screen it's easily missed. I kept walking by it thinking it was the edge of the map even when i clicked. Maybe a slighter larger area of responsiveness for those kind of corners? Otherwise the gameplay was cool.

This game is INCREDIBLE. Better than Monument Valley in some key ways (especially story) but similar in gameplay. The full game is out but this shows where it all comes from. Fantastic story and not for the feint of heart. Just finished it and finished the demo. PLAY BOTH! Treat the demo like a prelude. It's excellent and doesn't ruin any of the puzzles in the main game. Also, technical glitches may occur, levels not loading etc, just quit the game and open it up. It'll resume just fine.

Conflicted.. Levels were great--interesting and unique. But the cut scene was so violent and unnecessary, it REALLY turned me off, regardless of whether you can skip them. Skilled suspense and horror doesn't NEED in your face violence, and it takes this marvelous creepy atmosphere and...ruins it. I don't want to watch someone's head being bashed in, in a blow by blow fight. That's just so unnecessary, esp with the great game I see in the demo. .I just don't know.

This game is super short but really, really good. the sound effects are awesome, the music is phenomenal, I LOVE the use of shawdows and this game is really great at upping the creep factor. Also very curious about that cutscene. Leaving a lot to be unveiled, so make sure you do it right Dev. Overall, great game, can't wait for the full version!

Might not be true to the artistic vision, but this would have reached a much bigger audience and alienated fewer people if it had a gentler "magical" narrative rather than the ott violence. Edit: I don't have a problem with a "horror" narrative, but there is a disconnect between the graphics and said narrative. Something like Pavilion looks like a horror themed game, even though it.... isn't really.

An incredible concept and a promising glimpse! Just found out about the game from App Spy, and am looking forward to the full release. I'm sure the support for 18:9 screens is already in the works, if not done already in the beta. Keeping an eye on this for sure.
