Once I got the game to work, I was able to properly play it. The story being told, the vague-ish way it's told, the subject matter, and all of the gameplay was very well done for such a small team!
One heck of a story told in about 10 minutes of playtime!

Unfortunately the game is unplayable for me. When I load into the game, it acts like I'm holding down W and A, walking diagonally forward constantly. I don't have any controllers connected to my computer, but I do have a 3D mouse, which was disconnected and the software disabled before launching the game since that's known to cause problems. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the game to behave. There's something on my computer that conflicts with games that use the default keyboard/controller Input Manager. In Unity 2022.3+ you can switch to Input System Package which doesn't collide with custom PC control hardware.
Thanks for the hint with the cemetery sphere!
It's definitely a difficult control scheme to get used to. The movement acceleration and tendency to bounce off of vertical surfaces makes several of the jumps extremely difficult. The red sphere on the shelf (desert/canyon) took me 20+ tries to get inside of the cave to complete it. Learning the right time to scale yourself down during a jump for maximum control is extremely difficult for me for some reason.
I do have a few bugs to report, though.
- If you go inside of any other sphere, whether you complete it or not, then go in the desert/canyon sphere, the game will lag severely going from a smooth 60fps down to just 4-5fps. The longer the game runs, the worse it gets, especially if you're trying to record your gameplay. If you go to the desert/canyon sphere first, the lag doesn't happen.
- Changing your resolution, fullscreen, or quality options have a chance of causing textures to be badly mapped.
I played about 30 minutes of the game, got through one of the spheres (the green one on top of the lamp on the table) but couldn't get inside of any of the other spheres due to the platforming difficulty. Some smoother sizing controls, or better direction on a path to get into the spheres would be nice. I couldn't interact with anything in the Blue sphere in the plant on the desk for some reason. Will be looking forward to future updates! Video will be posted to my youtube channel soon!
