"Be careful. You can easily get lost." If you are lost from the start, does it still count as getting lost? - The world feels a bit empty at times, but wandering around and exploring is still fun. A truely unique game with nice graphics.

Quite lovely atmospheric little game. I was expecting actual echolocation though instead of a visual representation hehe. Would have been cool to try and zero in on the artifacts by sound. Like pinging in different directions and getting different sounding echoes depending on obstacle type/density etc. I've tried "shooting" a rifle (no actual bullets) that was set up to be aimed by listening to noise density (more noise the closer you are to the bullseye) which was quite interesting.

Hey basement_dweller! Wow, that's some really interesting stuff about a noise-listening rifle. During the jam, we're lacking such references. Gonna search on this topic. Thanks for the comment!

Is there anything that can be done about the big blue meanies besides just running away?

I'm afraid they're so powerful you can just run for now. Sorry!
