Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! It seems that some people played the game again after quite some time, would you like to tell me how you found out about it?
I was looking for desert wandering games (minimal goals, atmospheric focus) for a curated list of games I'm making for my website Exhibit:Play. This fit perfectly and I'll be sharing the list soon. You can check out the site here
I liked playing through this, I found it soothing. I wasn't sure if I reached the ending though (is the final scene when the red screen comes up?) Any plans to expand the world/story?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! The ending is when the character closes his eyes and there are some variations depending on what you found during the journey. I don't think I will work further on this game per se, but the themes will surely come back, I actually have in preparations an animated short film and also a comic that take place in the same desert, so not directly, but in some way there will be more stuff. :)
Thank you! You're right, basically everyone says something about the pace or lack of directions and I'm aware it goes against the festival of attractions that we are used to in games, but well, in a way that was exactly the point of this experiment. I'm pretty sure my next game won't be that radical about it though! :)

Great use of music and subtle storytelling. Leaves a lot to the imagination. Lovely to explore.

This game is full of ambience and that is what makes it stand out! The music and the extremely simple grafics... it trully transports you...
The only thing i would nitpick is the pace of the game, but i understand that it wouldn't be posible to achieve that feeling of being lost otherwise.
