short but totally worth it
For how short this was, I was in love with the art. Very much well inspired by old 90's point-and-click adventure style graphics of compressed 3D renders, but with a good touch of modern artistic choices like heavy dithering and lenient use of harsh sickly colours. REALLY really good art!!
Great atmosphere for this demo-sized game. It really conveys well the feeling of horror and despair of the world.
I would for sure play a full version!
would love to keep playing- cant wait until the full version if you decide to make it!
Fantastic! I need a full version of this!
The design is really well accomplished, hope it continues to develop in the future!!
Glad someone is doing something Vermis related

atmosphere goes crazy.. really hope this gets expanded one day.
You took me back to the time of the good old adventure games,Chalicebound is simply fantastic.I'd really like to see more games like this.Congrats.
Really awesome stuff, its amazing to see that both you and I created a video game inspired by Vermis, mine is just a direct fan game to the books.
Amazing theme! I am truly enthralled by the Vermis inspired theme. Did you use postprocessing effects for the grainy filter? I'd love to hear how to get these sorts of effects as I have been unable to recreate them.
Lowkey disturbing.
I love it!
espectacular, corto pero genial!
I would absolutely play a full version/continuation of this! I love the atmosphere and the color palette is wonderful.
3d? Maybe?
this game is pretty neat
Loved the effects
hi ,, do i want to make a collaboration ??
That was really fun to play! I'm curious as to what the story is too!
This game gave me some nostalgic vibes,i like dungeon games,especially with this old-looking graphics,will there be a continuation?
Simply beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful mood-piece, I would play hours of this
i dunno man, i clicked and pointed at stuff
??? bro all of this is in the game
Liked this a lot! I loved the style, the music, the tone. Really immersive and tense! I wish there had been more choices to make, since it felt very linear, but besides that I loved this
Has this game progressed beyond what I think was once a playable demo? I remember playing it and reviewing it earlier this year/late last year and I think it was mainly a work-in-progress back then?
You have no clue how happy it makes me to see a dark dungeon crawl game you've made mixing vermis style aesthetic and the music is 10/10. please make more and more!!!
vermis!
I hope it continues, so I might see what befalls my one armed soul.
Please, please, please make more of this. I am begging you on my hands and knees with tears streaming down my face. Shadowgate + Vermis is something I desperately need more of in order to survive.
This perfectly captured the essence of a classic point and click adventure
so cool!!!! u nailed the vibe sm
hi ,, d u want to make a collab??
Every game I play of yours is amazing! Love the style of this game.
This was really cool! Looking forward to more as it comes.
It is really good. What i personally didn't like was the characters being a little bit too cartoony, but still we do need more dark fantasy horror. Like we really need more.
this was cool!! i hope you develop this game in the future or make a similar one, i love the vibe of this
Nice to see a Vermis inspired game - Especially imitating the “print” optics of the book. I also fiddled a bit around to reproduce the look as a side project, so I must say, you nailed it quite well! :)
Unfortunately my decisions in the game had no impact at all? But I must admit, it would be hard to design and implement impactful decisions for a 48h game jam entry.
Nevertheless a cool and inspiring game!
Nice this was really great game I like it anyway well done!
