Very cool atmosphere, really transports you to another world!
The first thing I did was explore this beautiful forest. Then, after some moments, I decided it was time for me to move on and discover more. I had been living on this peculiar island ever since I first spawned in. Through sheer willpower, I glitched my way through the invisible barriers imprisoning me at the edges of the map.
As the golden sun was setting ahead, I walked along a hill, and noticed the beach lying ahead. The wind blowing against my skin and the grass below my own two feet made me feel more alive than ever before in my short time on this island. The ocean reminded me of the river and lake I had known my whole life, within the island center. But it was also an endlessly foreign experience. The sounds of crashing waves, a strong salty smell which filled my nostrils, and the infinite expanse of reflective water stretched across the horizon like a blanket.
Before long, I had reached the shore. And I realized that this is what true freedom must feel like. The glow of the now red sun enticed me like no other. I had to follow it. It whispered my name. It reached deep within me and snatched my soul. Everything I ever was, am, and will become; the sun knew. And I understood then that there was no turning back. I would never see my beloved island again.
I walked into the cold water, and just as I could no longer feel the squishy ground beneath my feet, I looked back one last time. Goodbye moss island...
After a second to recollect my thoughts, I turned back around and continued my journey.
A little time passed, until I remembered, oh shit!, I can barely swim. The shallow pond I called a lake back at the island center had never truly given me a taste of the real world. The world which had always lied past the edge of the island. For a second, I screamed and panicked. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as the water surrounded me on all sides, and consumed me. Then... silence.
This ocean had consumed me in much the same way the sun had done a few moments earlier. I let up, and continued to sink. This was not a battle, and I did not come here to fight.
I soon lost any need to breath. I could no longer discern up from down. I closed my eyes. And after an eternity of silence, I opened them once again and saw...
A sea of stars! I had thought there was only one sun in the whole world. The whole universe. Did each sun have its own moss island, just like mine? I looked around, and I saw endless possibilities. I could go anywhere, and live any life I could imagine.
No sooner then did I observe the warping pattern of light surrounding me. Ancient legends passed down orally to each generation on my island informed me as to where I was. Warping light was a sign of inertia. Quiescence. I was moving, yet going nowhere. I am stuck here. And I had stumbled upon enlightenment... But at what cost?
So many cool visual techniques employed here to make it all feel fuzzy and real. Incredible color choices in the day/night cycle. It's such a joy to just stand in place and look at. Thanks for making this :)
For a game with no story or intense gameplay of any sort, this is amazing. I love that you just walk around inside of this mysterious forest on what I assume to be an alien planet. I love the feature of being able to climb the tree's, even though it is a bit buggy, but I cant expect more from a small indie game on itch.io. I love the incredible sound design and the beautiful atmosphere. If this is something you would work further on, or maybe make a flushed out game like this, I would 100% donate to boost the project. Thank you for an amazing experience.
I had a nice stroll through a lovely little fantastical forest. The distant watery effect sort of made it feel like we're underwater, especially with the floating boulders around. The color shifting as the time of day changed was a very nice touch. I streamed some of this here:
Interesting, but insanely buggy. There are invisible walls everywhere, and if you jump into them you begin rising into the sky. You can bunnyhop up any terrain at all. And you can also head to the edge of the map and just hop off with nothing stopping you at all (you can also find the edge of the water, which stops at the end of the shore.
At this time, this just kind of feels like an abandoned tech demo.
Wow, this was awesome! The forest is for verdant and full! I especially liked how it looked at night, with the white moon beams coming down from above.
I love how beautiful nature is. Every walk you will see beauty. It is just insane. Also, falling on the edge of the map you will get a trippy experience like you are high.
Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel.
This was a really cool design for a horror game. The map for the game was both haunting yet beautiful at the same time. A land covered with nature, mosses, trees, floating rocks, waterfalls, ocean and red mushrooms.... The map looks fantasy-like and the environment helps to build the mood and atmosphere for the game where it felt quite mysterious and spark curiosity in the players to continue exploring the map as well. Will be looking forward to see how the map will be used for an actual game.
Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

Wonderful and colorful game. I enjoyed wandering through the forest and listening to the water flow does the stream.

This is one of the most beautiful looking games I have ever played. Props to you for an amazing game.
I looks super good

Yeah that's what it is, it's a tech demo.
What do you plan on with the game? Other than that, great job!

I really went out of bounds in the end, and it got such beautifull results!
