This was a nice little journey through some strange, somewhat familiar, locations! Really glad you bothered to "Finally finish something" with this one, I enjoyed myself :)
I understand that the word Penumbra relates to something in the game.. But to call your game Penumbra and have it begin in an arctic blizzard environment, and then descend underground is strikingly similar to another horror game also called Penumbra. That was the end of the similarities of course and I still enjoyed, but it makes for a very hesitant beginning to have it so similar initially.
Really weird, really cool game! That maze tho lol Very enjoyable, very much my type of game! Interesting concept with the obelisk. Is this taken from some kind of folklore or is it just something you guys came up with? What next for your development team?
Hi! Thanks for playing! The ideas are from various books and movies and my next project is to turn this into a full-length game. It's just me at the moment developing it. :)
I really liked the abstract level design, the creepy environments, and the monsters that appear. Also thank you so much for having a maze that isn't annoying as I could actually see where it wanted me to go!
Fun experience! The 2nd area reminded me a lot of Spirited Away and No Face, you nailed the atmosphere in there! The spider part was quite intense too.
Your concept of building a 3D environment is incredible! I thoroughly enjoyed each area I was presented with and the sounds matched perfectly. I'd like to to see what else is under the obelisk if you extended the game past the Labyrinth. I will be quietly awaiting a follow up! ;) Here's my play through, the world generation was very smooth 👍
Really glad you liked it! Didn't think anybody would make the connection to the bathhouse from Spirited Away. The inside audio loop is actually from the movie! Excellent use of The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
the game was really intresting, a cool trippy experience the least to say. the makeshift map was great! As soon as the Stairs appeared on the stone structure thing,I was like “oh boy here we go” i like these type of games, the unpredictable map change. Very atmospheric, with new environment we were introduced to you could feel the shift on the atmosphere. I felt this was more as trippy game experience type game. I’d like to see a story be made outta this, like a story revolving around the stone and it’s abilities it has, idk that’s me. Overall I thought the was game was really good, keep up the amazing work! I made a small playthrough it’s The first game on the video if you want to check it out!
Love the energy in your playthrough! Had to cut it real short to get something finished for the game jam, however. Think of this as a short demo that I'll be sure to continue. :) Thank you for recording your reactions!
thank you, i appreciate that, also no worries, keep up the great work! Guys/Gals I’ll be looking forward to what plans you guys will have in store for it!
Well, some of the puzzles were interesting at least and while I'm not 100% a fan on little to no backstory in the game, It has it's own charm. I wish the spider had several pathing it can take based on where you are in the maze.
I had no clue what to expect going into this, and I was really impressed! The only part I didn't really get was the floating face, but other than that, the environments and scenes were damn awesome! It looks like the "error" quality setting joke was misunderstood by some. But this was just a really unique experience! Not sure what the coins were for though.

Good on you then! And good luck with the development!

Another Spirited Away fan! Love your playthrough, will absolutely finish it/make more.

Glad you had fun! Thank you for the comments!
Really cool game. I love the different graphic styles. All the different settings are beautiful.
Ah thank you! Really glad you had fun exploring!

Very intriguing game, I liked how unique its setting/premise and gameplay was, quite artistic
Loved the playthrough. I've never played Frictional Games' Penumbra, but I'll check it out!
Awww man, it's a classsssic. Many loved it prior to them making Amnesia, but, making Amnesia definitely made them blow up.
Well, some of the puzzles were interesting at least and while I'm not 100% a fan on little to no backstory in the game, It has it's own charm. I wish the spider had several pathing it can take based on where you are in the maze.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for uploading! Congrats on finishing the maze.
I'm gonna start a goddamn riot if this doesn't win the jam. This is an amazing game. Seriously.
Also, do you plan to make any more games?
Haha thanks for the kind words and rating message. Absolutely! I'd love to explore this concept more :)
