    Giovanni, did you get the hoodie? Look closely at the weird object beyond the water (Don’t worry, you can get near it).

  5. Ok, I made it! Thanks for the hint Salty-horse.
    This’s not a game, this is a piece of art, I’m touched. Thanks Stephen.

    I don’t know where I’m supposed to look for the key. The weird object beyond the water isn’t much help – I can see it has words on it, but I’m getting eyestrain trying to read them.

    This was pretty interesting. I don’t understand all of this but its very interesting and definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. The gameplay and dialogue remind me of classic lucas arts point and clicks for some reason. The puzzle was all in being bothered to read everything and that is a fresh approach to gameplay in a 3D environment to me. Thank you for this.

    Would be nice if there was some instructions. I tried all keys and could only move but there’s absolutely nothing to do in the first room.

    The mysteries and unpredictability of this experience lead to a sense of wonder, joy, curiosity, bewilderment and surprise as I discover its poetic narrative. It’s like being a child when the world was entirely new. Thank you.

    I cried… I actually cried, for the first time in almost a decade.

    No film, book or any other form of artwork has affected me as much as this game.

    I unfortunately had the same problem as Poueaeiue. I could move around the lecture hall using arrows or WASD, looking at a slightly downward angle at the dog, but I couldn’t do anything else. I’m thinking you’re supposed to be able to use the mouse to look around and interact, but it doesn’t work at all. Maybe it’s a Mac problem? I’ve never had trouble playing a Unity game before. The readme didn’t help. I’d really love to play this! Any advice?

  18. Fritz, the only in-game controls are the cursor keys. No mouse-control needed.

    edit: hah, seems I included a completely random readme file. oops. don’t worry, it only contained sound credits and what i just said above.

    Wow! Great game! Took me a while to get past the lecture hall, but it was worth it for the rest. It did fatigue my eyes a little bit though and I felt pretty nauseous afterwards. But it was still worth it.

    How do you get out of the lecture hall???

    To get out of the lecture-hall, try looking at the brains and see if there’s anything that stands out. Then touch it.

    i really liked this game, even if at times it was difficult to get through. i just wanted to express my admiration for someone who is willing to put out their own unique work into the world despite the pressure to make it overly accessible <3.
