This game came as a very nice surprise! I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I first dived in, but as I got further through the story and talked to everyone I could, things started piecing themselves together and you really find yourself in two minds about who really is the good guy here? Maybe me, maybe the cult, maybe the lone gunman... maybe nobody?
Honestly, this game really made me think and really got me emotionally too. Everything just seems so hopeless and yet we carry on regardless. You did a fantastic job with this game, and I really look forward to seeing what other amazing work you come up with next! Keep it up! =)
So the Lisa influence is visible because of the squiggly lines on the floor and the ladder mechanics reminded me of it too but that's of course nothing negative. Inspiration is something nice but for me in this game I have always wondered how far the inspiration has gone.
Is the story told metaphorically as in that the end of the world should mean something that one may have experienced or is there a story that's being told? I can not bring it over myself to go through a trial and error in the first chapter to go through the other endings to fully understand this.
I also had this problem of understanding in Lisa but with an artwork such as this the interpretation always lies within the eye of the consumer and the way I took it was metaphorical.
I do not know how the developer has meant all of these stories, the spread, the pull and the people. But I took my own part out of it and the way I took it, I was able to relate to it in ways. In ways that may not have been intended but in ways that made the story telling enjoyable for me.
I was able to relate to the Gunner, the one who wanted Revenge, the Violet Football player, the Writer. Simply all of them felt like a part of something. Of one experience.
Thank you for the time you spent making this, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is no doubt a hidden gem, why others haven't played it yet is their own undoing. XD I will dig through it, my only questions to the dev is, do actions matter and are there multiple endings?
Lisa influence?
The world below has ended. An unholy force of nature is tearing life on earth apart like water to tissue paper. The few people who weren't affected fled to islands floating above land. The player takes control of one of these refugees, patiently waiting for the apocalypse to swallow them whole.
The game sports four possible endings depending on actions taken in gameplay. Explore all four to get the fullest understanding of the story.
