Cool idea. Something can be vaguely creepy about the mini aesthetic if pushed that way, and you did so effectively. When I first began development on miniature multiverse it was an indie experiment - myst like 360 degree game with charmingly realistic miniature look, and it was the only game to use the mini aesthetic that I knew of aside from 1996's the neverhood. Now since I began work on it the idea has just *exploded* with titles from Truberbrook to Armikrog to Lumino City to Harold Halibut. I still see mine as the only free look 360 node based one but realistically it is only a matter of time before someone beats me to release on that as well. Now you are going mini horror and that is another fantastic branch of the handcrafted game concept. I need to keep moving on game dev, the technical side is kicking me in the butt at times as my programming skill is barely adequate. Between that and the rotation between a bunch of tasks, none of my projects move forward to release as fast as I would like. But hopefully soon at least one or two of my games will be out there and fully playable. It isn't a small feat, making a game. you did it even if short so congrats.
Okay i adore this game! I opened the game and the MUSIC I tell you. Those warbly, dissonant chords set the tone so perfectly before i even press play. Also props for the use of lighting!! The way the figure is shaped makes the face invisible unless you're looking at it straight on, and the way the lighting lends into that is SUCH and incredible detail!!
I really dig how this game ramps up the tension by slowly uncovering bits of the story as you investigate the clay artifact. It keeps you on your toes and makes you want to dig deeper!
Live out your dreams of an archeologist in this short horror game or watch a sleep deprived guy do it for you! Honestly this was a lot of fun even though I can't decipher worth shit. Easy 8/10.
While all too brief, this was a wonderfully eerie experience. I think the handwriting could have been a little clearer on the note for the runes puzzle, as one letter is drawn in a way that it could be confused for a different letter of the alphabet in game. Had to write them out myself in order to fully figure out what the puzzle needed.
This honestly feels like it could be a teaser for a much larger game. More archeological based horror please. :D
The statue reminded me of the big oof meme. This was a very good game. It took me a little bit to figure out the puzzle but eventually I got it. I had fun playing this. Keep up the good work
This was such a cool game! You don't see too many archeology horror games. Loved the atmosphere the game set up. Made me feel like I was actually studying the artifact. It would be cool to see a continuation of the story! Good job!
I get that this is meant to be a short game but my god the ending was so anticlimactic. I would love to see this expanded on with more figures and puzzles because just one puzzle was very lackluster
One of the most uniquely fun games I have played in a while, absolutely loved it. Would love to see a longer version of this type of of something like this
Amazing job to the developer. Short, sweet, awesome puzzle solving and disturbing content. Claymation horror is my absolute favorite! Please oh Please expand on this project or make even more games so I can play them.
This was such a cool but very creepy and unsettling game! I really wish it was longer or you release a larger game based on it cause it was so cool! Amazing job!

WHY DID I DIG THIS UP ?"
Great Mini horror Game!

It is a cool game, it is very spooky and very informative. I played it in Romanian here
Excellent game.
A really cool concept, was fun trying to put the pieces of the clay sculpture mystery

Super neat game. Like the cliffhanger.

This was great! I love the execution and the substance over filler

I don't know what happend in the end, but that was scary for sure!
Amazing game!
I Really Enjoyed The Overall Aesthetic Of This Game Including The Cool Mythology That's Incorporated With The Story Made It Even Better. 7.5/10.
Had some fun with this!

GREAT JUST WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO SHORT
