places i go when i close my eyes
places i go when i close my eyes
it's 3:47 AM. you can't sleep.
close your eyes. the patterns are waiting.
geometric phosphenes you never chose to see.
warm orange light through your eyelids.
shapes that dissolve. impressions of faces.
this space only exists behind your eyelids.
no one else sees these exact patterns.
this is yours.
collect memories worth keeping.
avoid thoughts that won't leave you alone.
learn to coexist with them instead of fighting.

Visually its really impressive and gameplay somewhat enjoyable cause of how polished everything is.
This is how every night feel
it looks really cool but the sound makes it unbearable to play
Woah, this is amazing! It's super technically impressive and extremely pretty, which is a hard combo to pull off. I know a lot of people have been reacting somewhat negatively to the audio, but I think there's something interesting there! Those plinky runs are perfect ear candy and the atonal-ness works well to conjure up that lost-floaty-dreamy feeling that you're representing here. I also love the concept you went with regarding the theme. :)
I wish I could have tried this game properly, it looks really interesting. I'm not sure if I was just trying the wrong things, but no matter what I did, arrow keys, WASD keys, mouse input, nothing happened.The only keys that did work where Z and X.
I love the music, though when you pause the game it does just hold the current note which gets lightly annoying after a while. Something to consider maybe.
the game works with arrow keys, i have no idea why it didn’t work for you
The visuals are pretty good, a simple gameplay loop I think it's lacking a bit but still pretty good and fun, I also like the message.
The music & audio need more work tho, it triggered my tinnitus again 😂 Very tuff, 7/10
I adore the style of the visuals! The gameplay is simple but effective in my opinion. Great job!
i think the audio was really making it feel like when you close your eyes. the movement was a bit weird at first but i liked it for the same reason. this is probably the hardest thing to ever visualise, but you did it perfectly. 9/10
thank you so much :) <3
cool visuals and gameplay but very abrasive audio!
thank you for your feedback! 🙌
its got a good style but not enough gameplay for much more than a 8/10
I like the deep meaning of the messages, the only issue is the music and sound effect.
Thanks for your feedback! I’m currently trying to implement BETTER procedural audios :)
Pretty cool game! Not a big fan of the sound effets being mostly high pitched, ow
I’ll keep that in mind for next time, it was an artistic choice but, what the hell 🤣. Thanks for your feedback! ❤️
very nice and relaxing game. reminds me of undertale, keep it up man!
