after finding the village,

i tried to find a way to stay,

walking around the village for opportunity.

i cant,

so i left,

i keep walking on the same direction,

there was no song nor sound of the wind,

only me and and the sound of my footstep,

ahead of me is the unknown,

but i keep walking,

hoping to see hopes,

i walk and walk,

there was no end in sight,

the thought of giving up came to me,

i look ahead,

empty,

i walk.

i love the concept and I'm sure it can be utilized in other games!

im unsure if it was an ending but i collapsed and couldnt move

glorified witing simulator with surprisingli good storry and reward sistem

Really good storytelling

Hey, just played your game and wow, the attention to detail and the atmosphere were spot on. Seriously, awesome job! Can't wait to see what you create next. 

Keep it up!

I got lost. <3

I held right, found the village, went to return to camp but got bored. The night never ends and all the landmarks are gone. I am lost alright.

This is way too "art game" for me. Or is it just bad design? I need help.

Beautiful portraits though.

yeah same issue here, i found the village, spoke to the person and left and it's just night i keep walking and nothing happens

At the village you should go forth away from the camp and if the Player Character says that they should return than you should return.

this game is a pice of sh**

Un juego corto pero entretenido, aunque me he quedado esperando al final pensando que pasaría algo, la música acompaña muy bien al juego, y creo que el mensaje se entiende bien.

La verdad que me sorprende como hay gente a la que le ha parecido aburrido. Me ha gustado mucho la experiencia sin saber bien que esperar. Para mi, dura el tiempo justo. Además el uso de la imagen al usarse tan solo una vez genera un contraste increíble. 

Sobre la música, perfecta para acompañar la narrativa. No se si era intencional, pero tiene tonos que me recuerdan a LISA.

Great game!!!

Only few can understand the essence of this game

This game essentially captures the feelings of exploring the unknown and getting lost in the longing of it. 

In our day to day life we constantly look for something so desperately but we often get lost in the search of this thing that we want to find. There is never such feeling that is more trapping than desperation and longing for something we cannot never acquire.

Awesome little experience.

Very beautiful game. Love the music, the subtle story, just walking through the sand. Was this made on Bitsy, perchance?

Also, not sure if this was an error (scroll down as it contains spoilers) but:

After arriving to the camp, it then pans to another figure and stays there. There isn't really an end. I'm not sure if it is supposed to pan back and then walk up to said character to talk, or is this how it ends?

Beautiful, thanks for making this! I loved the art style.

thank you for playing!

(+1)

this game is so smooth, the art, the storyline, everything, the sound

(+2)

The fact that this game somehow took me more then 10 minutes really interests me. How was this made and how does it work? Other then that its as walking simulator as it gets

(+1)

Un estilo muy chulo, ¡enhorabuena!

(+1)

El tipo no necesitaba agua ni comida hasta que la conveniencia de guion le quito su resistencia a la sed y el hambre xd

You can’t sry
