- Audio balance of last area track fixed
- Blue area screenwrap made more obvious
- Minor tiling fixes for the second last area

Thank you for playing my game! For a little insight on this game, it was mostly a project with no real plan, I mostly just came up with ideas on the run, which then lead to the dream theme. I initially had planned to think of more gimmicks to use, but struggling to come up with any good ones it turned out to mostly be needle. I'm not really terribly proud of it, even though the environments and overall mood turned out pretty good in contrast. I'm definitely going to plan out my next game better to ensure it's more in line gameplay wise to what I want.

If you played riktoi's previous game, then this game is basically a bigger game built from the things that made "I am here" great. Very good atmosphere, excellent spritework. Once again there's a bunch of collectibles to grab this time, but they're a lot more in your way this time instead of having to go out of your way to find them (although some of them are still hidden). They're required this time around but even if you miss them it's pretty easy to go back to get them once you reach a certain point. Platforming is quite nice, definitively an improvement. There's some cool pathing in here as well especially with the most open-ended area.
It's less gimmicky than before for sure but there's some cool stuff here. Again, I'd love to see them used a bit more, as they are used quite well when they are used.

Once again, great work from riktoi, at an impressive speed as well. I'd be interested in seeing some more difficult platforming from them, but these light challenges are awesome and I can't complain. Would recommend to anyone.

Another fun abducted like game. (Dunno what to really call it.) I may be biased since i like these types of games a lot.
The platforming is quite basic, but there are some clever parts too it. There are some longer saves, that might be slightly more challenging than anything else, but only for absolute beginners. The collectables aren't all that hard too find and get. Maybe a bit too much so, I kind of wish they were more interesting to get.
The atmosphere was pretty unsettling at times, though i played this at 2 o clock at night, so this might just be a me thing. The music is pretty great, the tracks themselves aren't the best standalone songs, but they help the atmosphere a lot. The tilesets are neat too.
Recommended if you like atmospheric games.

I think this fangame is art, I am unable to express through words how much joy I felt when I heard a Saya No Uta track start playing! The atmosphere is incredible, and the non-linear gameplay fits incredibly well with the atmosphere.

I would like to mention that this review is rather subjective since I personally have created something very similar in the past with a very similar atmosphere and vibe. (Even using some Saya No Uta music myself) Absolutely amazing fangame 10/10 made my week!
