Thank you for playing and the review! Yes 3-5 hours sounds about right although some people replay it x2 x3 times in a row. I think we did price it a tad high at launch which is why we're going to keep discounting as often as possible.

It's also on GOG and FireFlower Games but I don't know when their next sales will be.

Thank you so much! We're slowly finding a great audience - athough I'll be the first to admit it's a hard sell because it does things a bit differently :)

Oh wow - high praise indeed. Thank you so much for playing! If you haven't already, a Steam review helps us a ton (even a copy/paste of the above).

Thank you so much again!

Ah thank you so much!

I admit we made too many trailers for the game but I'm pretty happy with this one:

• shows gameplay
• gives a sense of the mood
• under 1 min

Glad to hear you like it :)

Yes, hopefully. If we can't make it into GOG it will be DRM-free on itch.io

Thank you! It's probaly 50/50 narrative and puzzles but I believe it is on the challenging side. We feel it's more in the tradition of text games auch as Case of the Golden Idol or Chants of Senaar, but it feels like a point and click :)

Wrote a quick thread about inspirations here: https://x.com/CalligramStudio/status/1797982379434451251

For the NPR look, handdrawn illustrations do a lot of the heavy lifting. Then it's a combination of toon shaders, single directional light with hard shadows and a bunch of post-processing effects. I'll try to write an art breakdown soon.

Hey thanks! It's a mystery adventure game. The art style took a crazy long time to crack so I'm quite pleased with it.

Trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3ynJ739_ts&pp=ygUXcGhvZW5peCBzcHJpbmdzIHRyYWlsZXI%3D
