I rlly liked this short game. Did good job representing depression and isolation. I loved our spider buddy. I dunno if i got it right but is he like representing the uh like reflection of the depression/isolation? probs got it wrong but thats how i see it. Thanks for makin' this!
i love the game also, i think i found a bug. in the long room where it's dark and long spacing between the bed and other things, you can repeatedly spam the slamming door animation by going back and forth near the piano seat
Thanks for playing! Yeah the door open/close trigger was super hard to put in a way that would lure the player to the door (since there is where it triggers the level change) so I have yet to find a better way to deal with that haha, thank you for letting me know :)
Wow, I think watching this with your commentary and sharing your pain was a lot more effective than it would have been if I tried playing this myself. Thank you so much for making this video.
Its an interesting game, at some point you can press "E" on the spider and it disappears, but i didn't notice any change, is something supposed to happen?
I'm new to YouTube and it would help a lot if you leave a like or subscribe if you like the content, also you can request a game by leaving a comment!
Def liked the metaphors and atmosphere it threw me into from the very beginning. It took a bit for the message to personally kinda hit, but when it did, it really sealed the deal into making this game a pretty unique pick for me. Good job man
I really liked the inclusion of the spider and it's metaphoric value, great job!
The game is extremely vibey with the looks and sound effects, I liked it.
For improvement, I think the door that opens/closes constantly could be optimized a bit by making it open only when you're further away from it and close only when you're close to it, so it can't be spammed.
The voice acting is great, I loved it!
It's a little unclear where and which beer bottles you have to grab, maybe a glow like on the spider would help.
Would've been cool to see some stars at the beginning of the game when it turns dark, and to have maybe fog at the top of the hills so it makes a little more sense with the lighting.
I recommend adding an outline to text as white on white can be hard to read, especially when you click on the door. (Example image below)
Overall, as much as I tried thinking of feedback notes for this game, the game as it is pretty much nails it! Incredible job, I enjoyed every bit of it :)
Thank you for playing and for the notes! I really appreciate you taking the time to write down notes / bugs. If I decide to go back to it to fix some of this things I'll definitely do, there's some other (like the stars) that'll be a bit over my coding knowledge because I tried to add them the first time and didn't manage to do it haha. Thanks again :)
I liked it was interesting really like the main convo you bring up surrounding depression and isolation also what a goofy little fella that spider is love him
I am always a fan of indie games that attack issues like anxiety and depression and their root, and this game does just that. The game feels atmospheric, and it has pleasant pacing. It didn't feel too long or too short. I do however wish there was more interaction in the game. There were many times I tried to interact with just simple things in the environment like the piano when I was messing with the guitar, or the computer, but nothing happened. Maybe this was intended though; maybe the protagonist's depression was so bad that he didn't even want to think of touching these items.
Good concept for a psychological horror; no silly jump-scares, just the dawning understanding that the character you play as is having some very real, saddening problems. Enjoyed it!
The spider scare me a lot when he do that sound, and house he is like, good game, i had fun playng it, short but with good message, thank you Dev for making it,
I had a great time with this game!!! I love the metaphor of over coming depression! Depression is always a difficult thing to deal with alone, so don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help!!! I miss our lil ol spider friend! Hope he is happy somewhere else!!! Keep up the good work!!! If you're curious about my experience, then you can check out the video on my channel or watch the video I posted here!

Thank you for playing it! I was going to comment on your video but it says it's unavailable.
This was a delight to play. It was so irritating watching the character make these decisions but I understand the position he is in...
Thank you so much for calling it "a delight"! And thanks for playing. Love your setup btw!
This is an excellent game !! Thank you so much for sharing this experience, I really love it ! <3

Thank you so much for playing it, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for playing it, it was beautiful to hear your words in the end :)
Don't know if I could ever deal with a spider that big in my room IRL. But I loved the message this game had, great job Dev!
Thank you so much for playing! Your improvisation on the piano song made me laugh :)
Lol I'm glad you enjoyed it. =D
for someone who works on the daily basis with mental health, I found the game incredibly self explanatory. Great job there. Keep them coming!
That means a lot! Thank you so much
The spider scare me a lot when he do that sound, and house he is like, good game, i had fun playng it, short but with good message, thank you Dev for making it,

Our lil spider friend is alright :) Thank you for playing!
This made me cry because I don't have good mental health. This music in this game calmed me so much
