For some reason all these gaming channels feel like the person playing has never played a video game before, it's unreal. MKFireAndIce is probably the most famous. He can spend up to an hour stuck on a simple problem, and plays with the most twitchy mouse ever. Makes gameplay videos give you epilepsy even if you don't have epilepsy, it's SO bad, and he's such a brainlet. But they all load their videos with a million ads, which reveals their motivation I guess.

Everyone's all Portal this and Portal that, and I'm all "wow, this is like a cross between Portal and Closure."

[@The_Esteemed]

This game does look quite promising in my opinion. I especially love the writing and voice acting for the Doctor. I do wish the shadows had more to them than just "ooh spooky lava" maybe some supernatural aspect that gradually evolves as you progress through the levels. Overall though great looking adventure puzzle game.

[@skud2839]

Wow you solve those puzzles quicker than light, I guess you can’t outrun the darkness since light is slower than darkness

[@memesarekeem]

Darkness isnt even technically real though, it's just the absence of light and "absence" is an abstract thought.

Cave Johnson here. We're banging rocks together, and it's expensive as hell.

[@humanbeing4841]

There's definitely some Portal influence here.

This narrator seems too much like the one from stanley parable. I love it.

A modern rendition of "Darkest Fear" game on java, liked it!

somehow this reminds me of the stanley parable

[@cursedhawkins1305]

Ok the nod at the Portal reference and the Companion Cube was funny.

[@HT27012]

Wait a minute... Aren't there always shadows under our feet, if we stand still ?

[@austinmorrison6953]

“Every achievement has its kinks” yes turning every shadow into an anomaly that devours any and all organic material definitely qualifies as “kink”

[@alan2here]

Cool idea :) I'm not keen on being less upbeat in the rest of this comment, indie stuff is important and I'm probably going to come across like Raphael from that Stanley Parable advert. The narrator's eccentric, sarcastic and full of himself, but his acting is still very deliberate, like computer game dialogue. Compare him to Elon Musk, Cave Johnson, characters from the original Half Life, the narrator in The Stanley Parable, X-Men, animated children's shows like Adventure Time, or some quite artificial seeming politicians. I could imagine him being almost as brash, but toned down by dropping some flatter, filler, sarcastic lines and including more uncertainty and periods of no dialogue. I like the journalism line :) How is he watching you *all* the time and why is the facility full of computer game levels rather than places. Couldn't the crystal washing room have had more of a heavy industry look to it and still be modular and full of walkways. Even just a high pressure tank connected to some pipes. What's the point of the jumping over gaps and running past decontaminators part of the platforming. Consider (2D) Super Meat Boy, Getting Over It, XMoto, Circa Infinity, VVVVVV, The End is Neigh, or the rope/create only multiplayer levels in Worms World Party. Or (3D) Tony Hawks 3 & 4, or Zen in the original Half Life. Love them or physically take a step back in disgust, they work because while the mechanics are simple the consequences of those mechanics are not, and it's that landscape of consequences along with the satisfying momentum, curved movement, planning ahead at various scales and adjusting those plans on the fly that breaths depth and life into the whole experience. The platforms here though are just a task. The story quickly got a bit obvious, did the female employee have a big stack of tape recorders, they don't seem well hidden. More unsettling with even only slightly softer shadows and slow sinking in mid brightness areas, with some suggestion that the light reflects/defuses off surfaces a bit onto the surroundings.

[@Sebastianmaz615]

Genuinely a novel/original game, as far as I am aware, that's very cool! Love the mechanic/concept. Everytime you go for one of those long jumps I tense up waiting for the fall to happen. And everytime you make it except for one or two times. Great game! 😁👍 Can't believe that's where it ended. What happens next? Need more!

[@keldricharts]

Love that reference to Aperature Science This can fit into the Half Life universe

[@MisterSkids]

I loved the players little nod after the Aperture Science bit
