It´s so interesting that we don´t stay just as a "bystander", cause what really happens is beyond that, we really enter the atmosphere and the past and present of events, we enter the character's inner world and delve into their suffering, their memories, their confusion, their hope...we see and listen to the their experiences, we feel it so close to us that it´s not possible to pay attention to anything other than that sensation, what makes us understand the characters so intimately and that's just beautiful. At least that was my experience with the game.
This game is amazing... I didn't really know what to expect going into it, but it was so haunting and intriguing. The emptiness of the setting, the recurring themes and imagery, and all the foreshadowing and hints at what's to come, it was so fascinating to play through... The situations that both the protagonist and his mother had to endure are so painful to witness, but in a really compelling way. I felt so much sympathy for the protag's mother and the trajectory of her life, but also for him and how he never asked for any of this either...
I really love how you have woven surreal, sci-fi horror with a deeply introspective and personal type of horror, and how well the two fit together and compliment each other. This is such a masterpiece in pacing and horror, I'm really intrigued and excited to see where the story goes!
i love this game so much! thank you for providing an english translation, it was a very emotionally impactful experience. i added it to my steam wishlist for the full release.
its already been a couple months since I finished the first part of this game but I genuinely think about it often. I can only respectfully wish for you to continue this story and offer more English translation in the future. It truly moved me emotionally and it was a pleasure to have been able to try this game.
im so so grateful for beinga able to play this game!! been following edgar work on twitter and when i found the game on my front page of itch.io i was so excited to play, and it was totally worthy it!
lovedd the story, even if it's only the beggining, the setting of the game already paved the way to a great story and think the museum of anna its one of my favorite pieces on game, it's so beautiful and delicated, its visible how much work and effort was put on this.
the visual of the game had me in chock, everytime i kept being amazed by how much you explored rpg maker setting to make such a unique game, the black and white scenarios and the use of real images was so spot on.
as a person with bipolar disorder and ocd, some parts were really gut wrenching, like the psychiatry gallery, but i was glad to learn more about mental disorders throughout the whole game, i am excited to see more about it in next chapters!
anyway i wrote too much already, but its been a while since a played a rpg maker that made me feel so excited. also big thanks for the translation team for making this game more acessible to people, and thanks for the sound designer for making the atmosphere of the game even more immersive ^^
sorry for any typos, love from brazil, keep up the great work <33
I found this game from twitter before it had an English translation so I'm so happy that I got to play it now! I love the art and how the story is being told, it's surreal and very engaging! Also the bonus stage at the end made me laugh when we got to play as a cat lol
So glad you've decided to include an english translation, this is one of the best games I have found in itchio for a long time, I was moved to tears at the end of the first act. Such impactful storytelling throughout!!! I will definitely be getting the full version on steam when I am able!!
I understand there will be no English translation as of now, but I love your work enough to slough through translating every sentence just for myself. I love your stories, I love Wayde, and I love this game.
You have a very special way of creating art where I can feel the emotional depth, love, pain, solitude, and hope, all at once. I hope you continue to create forever! Thank you for sharing this game, and your stories with us! <3 谢谢！

I just left my rating comment cause I just finished the game and I'm still delighted with the beauty and lyricism of it, just perfect!

Fun game. Would you be interested in a Spanish translation?

被首页安利来玩...呜呜呜太棒了超乎想象地好，我一整个失语....无论是剧情深度、文本的流畅度、艺术展现度都非常棒！总之期待续作❤️
你好，很感谢作者能创造出这样独特而有重量的作品！！最后一部分是流泪着完成的，很高兴能够参与到这样优秀的作品中。福柯的疯癫与文明曾经在我对自我精神状态质疑时起到了一定的启发，从而了解到了愚人船的概念，游玩之后实在是百感交集，感动之情溢于言表，，请作者一定要继续创作继续表达，感谢！！！
从空间宣传过来的，解谜的部分谜题设计真的很喜欢！文本和艺术风格也相当出彩，期待后续！以及最后的彩蛋+credit部分真的很可爱ww
一点体验反馈：
感觉如果能把场景里的可互动对象都像目前的部分道具一样用闪光贴图或者其他形式标出来会更好？不过没有也不太影响解谜流程，有了的话可能博物馆场景还会变得有点乱hh
还有就是有些道具好像需要控制人物在特定的方向进行互动才能触发，比如我记得有一张椅子需要走到椅子正面才能交互，在椅子侧面就不行？（具体位置有点忘了如果二刷的话我会来补一下）
然后关于宣传→找到游戏的这个部分，我不方便用网盘所以选择了到这个站下载，之前用得很少所以不太熟悉，在空间看到的文本部分好像只贴了类似于作者id+游戏名的部分URL，但是后来发现在搜索处直接搜索【愚人船】也能搜到。搜索英文名Narrenschiff反而会和其他很多结果一起出现，感觉后续宣发也可以提一句这个？最后自荐一下，虽然在credit那块有看到主创说在考虑本地化的事，不知道指的是中译外还是外译中（应该是前者吧）总之如果后面准备做英文版的话我很愿意为这部作品尝试提供翻译~感谢创作者的付出，在这个站支持了一下下，祝大卖！
特别喜欢！博物馆找密码和母亲遗像的交互解密特别有趣（又不会太难很适合我:p）；很喜欢屠宰场的设计，砍肉砍得我也麻了，母亲真是一个沉重的词语；还有靠后有个露出眼睛的设计，深深震撼。。。词穷地只能说真的好喜欢！！！期待后续<3<3<3
地板后面逐渐露出的那双眼睛，就像美杜莎投来了她的目光，我短暂地变成了化石
母親，懷孕，凝視，人的故事化為的陳述，令人嘆息卻緊緊攥住內心深處。我個人也与生母間，她與我的千絲萬縷有著許多內觀的感受，在這個遊戲中母親的部分讓我現實中与母親的記憶無限放大，有了新的感应。我也很為遊戲中母親的呈現而有些感動，也有許多無法道明的屬於每個個人的幽微的感觸。非常幸运能玩到这样一款作品
那个艺术展馆实在是太强了……
通关了试玩部分……大佬文笔和文化水平都太令人感动了！！
好玩！文本风格让我想到极乐迪斯科，都是非常具有文学性的游戏。
以下是我的游戏体验（可能有剧透！！）：
303保险柜的密码虽然有颜色暗示，但对我来说还是有点难注意到，这之后的色彩暗示比较顺畅。
我很喜欢那本分叉的小说线索，很有创意！
剪刀的位置比较窄，第一次检查的时候站在稍微外面一点没有反应
莲蓬头撬棍的使用位置有提示，但是凭空对无法互动的东西使用感觉有点奇怪（即便有外在提示，可以在实地再做一个小小引导，可能会比较自然，像后面擦电梯旁边的墙）
博物馆里棋盘和马有点门槛，也不知道是不是我没找到另外的信息
神经镜像图的谜语是因为是镜像图吗？本身就是提示？没有想到
总的来说，可玩性很高，艺术性也很强，期待完整的作品。现实和回忆交织，似乎还有合理的设定来解释，这一点很不错。
另：在steam上似乎没有搜到这个游戏,是因为我是美区吗？
这个在steam上好像还没有上
哦哦谢谢，我看作者最后写了可以在steam上把游戏加入心愿单来支持，所以就在steam上搜了。
太棒了，好喜欢游戏的整体氛围，配乐画面都好棒！期待第二章！
特别特别好玩..期待
一下午很畅快的玩完了，好厉害，一直在惊叹，解谜的部分可玩度好高，音乐和画面都太牛了TT（真是不知道该怎么夸）当我们的出身给母亲带来痛苦，做子女的又应该如何自处呢，，回想一下厨房的画面真是想哭，特别特别喜欢博物馆的部分，期待后续!!

谢谢！
美丽的艺术又如此神秘！！！ 我想知道 mac 是否有一个无法制作的故障...我玩得太开心了
非常感谢~~~~mac的话确实没有办法制作，做出来的文件无法运行，因此我为mac用户制作了网页版~
mac 有问题也没关系，我很喜欢这种气氛和想象力。 多谢与我们分享 ~~
睡一觉起来再玩。
提醒一下奥，Windows版的 img 文件夹里误赠了.psd 的美术源文件，导致游戏 ( 不必要地 ) 增大了 64.5 MB. （我想应该是无意而为之）
感谢提醒！今晚会新更新一个版本把psd源文件去掉~~~~
