What a wonderful game. I love the spiritual approach of it, while we live in a world where only money rules. It is good to come down to Earth and appreciate what nature gives us all, for free.Well done and kudos to all involved! Thanks for making this game.
Story was interesting and liked learning the folklore.
Sent me down some SOMA thought nostalgia.
Enjoyed! Another good and interesting game by Sirtartarus!
I enjoyed this. The story was pretty interesting.
Hello, I played this game and I really enjoyed it! Loved the whole concept and all the animations and interactions with the character, great job! :)
The game's really interesting and poor Joshua. It was nice learning the story via emails. Keep it up.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
As a filipino I got nothing but respect for the developer for including some of the culture and mythology. Though I don't think the robot is one of them. That said, I enjoyed this story quite a lot. The story is unique, but it felt a little rushed. Also the audio mixing needs a some work as the repeated build up can get a little too loud. Besides that, it's a decent experience that deserves some attention. Well done, dev.
Very nice! Played here :)
fun weird creepy
Thanks! But I've seen the video and it seems I have messed up really hard, since that's not the end of the game xddd. I will work on fixing this and other things, but not now because the game jam this was made for doesn’t accept modified submissions. Once it ends it will be fixed!
no problem ..i know jam :P
Enjoyed the game. Loved the whole concept of "Keeping the brain alive after death". Seems like a concept that you can build on if you plan on working on this game or something similar in the future. On a side note does the game have anything to do with SteamVR. After I started the game, SteamVR started running along with it.
Thanks! SteamVR runs because unreal has that implemented by standard. However I haven't turned it off... I will fix that once the jam ends!
this was interesting ! i would love to see a full blown game built on the same story :D hope you enjoy the vid and dont mind the voices i give the characters :D
Thanks for making a video! Really fun to see how you gave voices to the characters. Happy you liked Luntian so much!
If you liked that fantasy-SciFi mix you talked about in the video, I can tell you I´m a sucker for stories that mix mythology and science, so even if it isn´t a sequel to these one, more games like that will come in the future!
i have my eyes on you :D
love the game thank you
Thanks for playing and making a video! Happy you enjoyed it. This was made for a jam, so I had limited time, but next time I make a mostly-dialogue based game I will try to add audio too, since I saw you lost bits and pieces of the story. Sorry about that!
Nice!
Thanks for making a video! Such nice narration, you read really well! The only times I saw you doubt what you were reading were when I messed up some words, but it will be fixed.
Indeed, as Luntian is a Nuno sa punso (Old man of the mud, a philippine mythological creature), he protects the forests and curses those who disrespect it, but it can´t step outside his terrains, that´s why he didn´t enter the base nor knew about the water!
