love love love the art direction in this! I have lots of thoughts on gameplay / character controller, the direction of the introduction of the game, but I'm sure you guys have the same thoughts / complaints and vision to push this further. This gave me instantly Expedition 33 vibes in terms of the world design and how pretty it was, also that glass shader is doing so much work to create that painterly vibe outside!

Thanks for the compliments! Spot on, we have a lot of things we wanted to improve but lacked the time. Since it was a student project and our block is now over there is a high chance it won't be continued sadly. But we'll take all the experience with us for the next project!

by the photos it looks good but i don't have a controller 😢

Hi, we have keyboard support as well but it's not all working correctly yet. We'll update the game and the page soon! :D

It looks nice!

Would love to write some music for it.

Hi, thank you for the enthusiasm! We have someone working on music right now and we will upload a new version with music and some more sound effects tomorrow around 5.
Would love to hear your feedback on it :D
