This is great so far (haven't finished but will come back later). The ambience is cool (graphics and sound). I was really curious how you made it! It reminds me a lot of a Bionicle Flash game I played a long time ago (never played too many games like this, modern equivalents might be the Sierra point and click adventures and The Longest Journey). I noticed this is hosted on win99.dev hehe. Great work!

Wow, this is so cool. I had a fun time playing, even though I got stuck at one point and didn't know how to progress. I don't know if things save, but we'll see. When I met the Harmonizer I thought to myself.. her speech sounds so AI.. then it turned out to be she was a 'Synethesized" or robot I'm assuming. Fun! Love the visuals and very excited to get further into the game.

The foreshadowing! I hope you get unstuck, there are a few different endings in the demo.

this is soooo cool! i'm so invested in the story - i love how the player is slowly introduced to what living above/below eridu is like instead of having it all rolled out at once. are the dithered backgrounds created from photo collages or are they digital paintings?

Photobashing/matte painting :) Some of the locations are heavily modified from real places (like the metro station, one which I used to take). Thanks for the kind words!

I grew up playing Westwood Studios games, mostly Command and Conquer, but I had never heard of this!! So wild to see this (and hear Frank Klepacki's music)!!

Saw your reply to another post about matte painting and photo bashing. It's really impressive how seamless all the environments appear to fit together.
Also do you have a "button" 88x31px banner for this project? I'd love to link to it.
Thank you! I started it very much so influenced by Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Originally I had the main character on screen, but wanted to do an interesting omnipresent perspective instead (mostly to cut development time in building a pathfinding system as). Myst was another big influence (as well as Out of this World). Anyway, I'm glad you are enjoying :)
I'll make a button soon and send!
