visual glitch: some objects lose their texture when looked at at specific angles.
It's intended, but good to know!
Thanks for playing
A cool tribute that I really enjoyed stepping into, exploring, and poking around.
I found the top part of a broken vase, but nothing else that seemed of use. Feel's like I'm missing something more that I can do.
Yeah, there's something more indeed. Apparently, catching it requires way more attention from player than I expected. And gameplay gets even more questionable later making the game really hard to beat.
That is what happens when you put too much into "experimental" and too little into "common sense" =)
Thanks!
