I played this game on my stream (VOD).

Overall, the graphics are really pretty, but I had a lot of trouble really doing anything in the game. I think the game would benefit from a more guided tutorial.

For example, after the instructions to follow the butterfly, I lost track of the butterfly and had to random wander around. It might be good to have the butterfly fly ahead of the player, then wait around (maybe sniff a flower) until the player gets closer, then it flies off again. When I eventually found the butterfly, I guessed that I'd need to light the torch it was flying above, but I couldn't figure out how to light the torch.

I wandered around and eventually got out of bounds. The out of bounds effect caused me to feel some motion sickness which wasn't good. Also, the camera has a bob when the player is not moving, and that also causes motion sickness for me. When I'm controlling the player, it seems ok, but stopping was a no-go (pun intended). I highly recommend disabling the camera bob or at least having an option to do so.

I found some puzzle-like box somewhere as well, but couldn't figure out how to interact with it. I pressed all the keys on my keyboard, all the buttons on my gamepad, but nothing happened. Later on, I found a crafting table thing, but I had no recipes as well.

I think this game has potential (it's really pretty!) but needs much baking :)

Thanks for the review Atlas Fun! I really appreciate it. I agree that the game needs more tutorials to make the gameplay more understandable, and I'll do it asap. I think, once the game is understandable, the story will become more and more clear and it'll be much more enjoyable to play. The butterfly part also needs refining and a fail safe in case the player loses it. Can I drop an update here, once I've updated the game?

I'm not sure if the comment section remains open after the jam is over. You can message me on Discord, I'm in the Discord for this jam :)

I checked the older jams, and it looks like comments still work, so you can drop an update here after you've updated the game 😄
