Into the Void

This game is very interesting. Considering it was made in just 4 days, I think it’s really impressive! Of course, there are some bugs and things I would change (which I’ve listed below), but that’s totally understandable given the time constraints. The game has potential, and in my opinion, you should definitely continue working on it.  

On the other hand, I found it a bit too mysterious. I didn’t fully understand what it was about or how the “void” part connects to the story and title. Some quests like “wash up” or “eat dinner” felt a bit unnecessary. While I get that the intro helps build the atmosphere, I’d suggest either shortening it a bit or adding more varied tasks like “dress up” or “cook breakfast” to keep things engaging.

Things I noticed during gameplay:  

Negative: 

- The settings button has a bug—when I click it, the previous screen still appears (the UI doesn’t change properly).  

- There should be a warning when loading a save that doesn’t exist. If you press it without a prior save, the game gets stuck.  

- The intro/logo animation feels a bit rushed and cuts off suddenlty. It’s a small detail, but worth polishing.  

- When I ran into a sign at the beginning of the game (“Mission: Get Home” in the forest), the game froze for a bit. Not sure if that’s on my end or a game issue.  

- The shadow on Lekha’s house (if I remember correctly) seems bugged — there’s a noticeable line between the wall and the shadow.  

- The character disappears when walking under the house door.  - In the main character’s house at the beginning, you can walk off the map—probably missing colliders on the walls.  

- The kitchen door animation is buggy. When I opened it from the kitchen side, it pushed the character back and I couldn’t exit, though it worked the second time. I tested other doors, and it didn’t happen again.  

- You can push boxes out of the map.  

- After scene transitions, the camera starts far from the player and flies over to them. For example, when waking up in the main character’s house, the camera spawns somewhere else before catching up.  

- After I ate dinner and washed my hands, there was a weird fade-in animation. If it’s meant to simulate blinking, I’d adjust it because it feels confusing. A similar effect happens during the “Find out where you are” mission.  

    - If it’s a fade-in, I’d suggest fading all the way to black before fading out again—it would feel smoother.  

    - Adding a sound transition could help too. For example, when the character faints in a dream, the dream music could slowly fade out before the scene changes.  

- During the “Have Breakfast” mission (I think it’s the third one), I couldn’t interact with anything in the kitchen or other rooms. I wasn’t sure if it was a bug or if I missed something, but I had to skip it using the spacebar.

Positive:  

- I really like the shadows (especially at the beginning)—they add a lot to the atmosphere.  

- The forest sound design is excellent! Consider adding footstep sounds for extra immersion.  

- I like that you can push objects** around in the main character’s house—it makes the environment feel more interactive.  

- The art style fits the game perfectly. It’s unique and adds to the vibe.  

- The mysterious beginning is a great choice for this type of story—it sets the mood really well.  

- I loved the random ambient sound** after clicking the light switch—it added an eerie touch.  

- The mission to “Find out where you are”** started in a really cool way — I wasn’t expecting it!  

- The “Run” mission caught me off guard in a good way. It was a bit scary, not gonna lie, and the sound design really helped build the tension.

Final thoughts:  

Despite the bugs, I had a good time playing. The game has strong foundations, and with some polish, it could be something really special. Keep up the great work!
