Time is Solid Here

This game beat my expectations, I usually just play to kill time but this one, I enjoyed it!

I'm expecting spanish translation!

Wow, such a good experience, huh.

I don't normally comment on itch, but I really wanna say how much I love this game after one play only and some random stuff that came to mind. (yeah theres yapping prob spoilers ahead but this is a like 40 min game so just go play it rq doofus :3)





Anyways, time for the random 3am inspiration rant.
And first off. I really wanna mention the small detail on how Chevron (I think the head dude right?) is Charon the ferryman, on the River Styx. Though I don't know a lot at all about Greek mythology, I think it's a nice nod to his character and placement in the story where he's just showing the Player their way out to their own painting in the end. It's a really nice touch that I didn't expect in the slightest going into playing this and tbh I can only thank my 8th grade ELA teacher for me even getting this reference lmao.

I also like how in painting 3 with the retrospective army man, and the spider which I quite don't know the meaning of yet that the lead up to the man is a winding path of seemingly flesh and bone walls. It's like in his (hers? theirs?) flashbacks they realize that the soil is all made up of death, bone, and flesh that proves more to himself that he and his people weren't the good guy.

Sorry for the 3 gadamn paragraphs (w/ the first one anw) but this was a really cool play and I didn't expect how good it was. I mean as soon as you boot up the game it foreshadows the ending and you go back to the title and just go "OOOOOOOOHHH OMFG" but I've mentioned one to many things now. I actually don't know how to end this pretty much one-pager so I guess thank you for making such an incredible game and also thank everyone who read this far. Cya :3

o ma lord I loved this, the concept of peoples story/death being converted into a painting after reaching a conclusion strikes something within me. Just everything about this game is really inspiring, and i love that u had a change of heart about the AI stuff. 

I loved every second of this game

From talking to Charon about monster trucks, to helping him to dicover his favourite food. Every single character iin this was able to discover something abou themselves.

The puzzles were the perfect difficulty to still be engaging and the story had so much depth while still being light enough to be fun and engaging. 

An amazing experience that I would happily take again and again. An extended version would be amazing, but I feel that the current length of the game is actually perfect, each experience new and refreshing.

i played this game about a couple years ago and it just kinda never left my mind. i decided to play it again when i was in a bit of a bad state n it was like i opened a time capsule. change is one of those things that not everyone is comfortable with n i'm included. moving on is a process of emotions n we do sometimes need others to guide us to sanctity. very wonderful game, 10/10 ^_^

Thank you for the experience. Absolutely loved it from beginning to end! :)

I can't tell you enough how cool the soundtrack is, it's some stuff I would unironically listen on a daily basis. Would you mind if I asked where you got it from? Is is authoral? Or you got it somewhere else?

About the gameplay, the middle painting (the one with the enigmas and the boy) made me straight up sad. Made me think for a good 20 minutes or so. I guess that's what you were going for, so, yeah, it definitely worked, so congrats!

Lastly, I would like to thank you for your pronouncement rearding the AI art you used. As a fellow artist, I really appreciate your honesty and would like to say that, hands down, this game was the best use I saw someone finding to that, despite all of the implications of using it.

Cheers! Have a good one.

for some reason I can't input the code on the second painting, last door.

It's a very good game with a lot of symbolism to think about. I went in playing completely blind and was amazed at the pixel sprites of AI art. The stories are astonishing to read, the writing really is good. I do wish there were more secrets, although I don't know if your dialouge choices change anything. 

Charon is the best character and his favorite food is meatloaf  

Great game, I don't know what else to say. They definitely need to release an extended version because the gameplay, the story, the characters, the art. It's all so unique and perfect. I want and NEED more, they can't just leave this like this, it would be like painting the Mona Lisa in half and leaving it like that.

this is really coool game the theam is just f perfect the art is desgasting and well the story and the ending is somthing else best free game (after ddlc and the murder of sonic the hedgehog) 9 out of 10 just because it gave me bleu balls mate

I would give this a 10 stars out of 5 if I could!! Such a mind blowing game! I hope to see more games from you in the future! As someone who REALLY hates horror, I will say that this was totally worth it. No bugs found in the gameplay. (If anyone is really stuck for solutions you can cheat with my gameplay... or if you just want to watch me scream at painting 3... there is also that... oops). Thanks for making such an amazing game!

kind of stuck on the settings menu...

I really loved the game, i played it a few months ago and its still on my mind :3

Absolutely loved the game, really hit hard. Keep it up!

Honestly one of the best games I've ever played on my channel. The design, the atmosphere, the music the story had me hooked and invested the whole time would highly recommend to anyone

Honestly the Ai art really inhanes the game, as this is the inbetween, what humans can't imagine, and the second painting made me cry T-T

this was so good that if I weren't in school I would shed one single tear but it would also rise up into my eye again... really really awsome sauce

Super surreal, super spooky, and genuinely a heartwarming but also heartbreaking story. I'm obsessed with your work and cannot wait for you to put out more!!!

I LOVE IT. AND THE END WAS SO CREATIVE (the game also felt really realistic if that makes sense?)

This is such an inspiration for me. Makes me think about life and such that no other indie bite sized game ever made me feel like. Thank you for this game, it really means a lot to me.

A weird atmospheric experience with a very good soundtrack and story. I enjoyed playing it.

this game is soooo cool i love it i wish i could erase my memory and play it for the first time again. amazing work!

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD WTF. Not to spoil it but the end being the way it is is SO good. It really cheered me up

This is one of the most insane games I have ever played. The concept, the visuals, the sounds are all perfect and truly portray such a deep, intense concept of time. I originally played this game for something to do out of boredom, but it completely captivated my attention. It's ability to portray such strong characters and stories in a short time is incredible. I hope all that worked on this game feels incredible pride and accomplishment. Thank you for sharing your work. :)

This game is perfect, both verbal and visual concepts are impressive, I loved the dialogues, especially the one in the second frame, its short duration makes it even more enjoyable, definitely recommended.

God... I don't have words, damn. I 100% recommend playing this!!! I LOVE IT

One of the better written games I have played on this site. Fantastic; very unique, very captivating art direction. Really cool bits where the game talks to, you? about you? It really made me think, and I related to many concepts brought up. Loved it! really inspiring.

I already left a comment before, but I have returned to the page to do it again. I can't really describe what a deep effect this game had on me. It's incredibly sad, terrifying, deep, engaging, and simply beautiful all at once. It's the only game that's ever made me cry, and if it weren't such a small game, I might call it the best I've ever played. It's truly up there though. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible experience you have allowed me to be a part of.

I've LOVED this game so far, but I think I need some help. I had to quit the game early, and when I loaded it back up and continued my save, it seems to completely freeze the game after about 5-10 minutes. I tried minimizing it, etc and even when I reloaded the game (tried 4 times), it'll let me play a bit longer, and then it does the same thing. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or, do I just need to start over from the beginning?

One of the coolest weirdcore games!! I loved every second of it. Amazing use of AI, super creative and innovative. Super inspiring.

Gosh. It feels like my mind-dreams and thoughts just gathered and shapeshifted into a game. Not something I expected to see actually, but the only thing I can be sure in, is that I will pass plenty of time thinking about it. Never was I so sure that I can the right things as I am now.

A very unique and fun experience that I was not prepared for! The soundtrack is insanely good had me dancing!

Very fun! I didn't plan on completing it on the first playthrough, but it kept me hooked

this game was just wonderful. i loved the art, the very well-writen story, it looks like you're good in everything. the end was kinda confusing but everything in this game is on a whole other level. glad to see you have another game. going to play it. its sad indie games dont get much recognition but thats what makes them "indie" or special. i loved your work so keep it up.

I just want to say that this is an artistic master piece. I hope you get the appreciation that you deserve.
