Hey there, OneFourtySevenAM here, and I just played your game for a video series I have called "Indie Picks". If you're at all interested in seeing what I thought of your game, feel free to watch the video.
This is Art. I love it. Also, I ate every block except the one they asked me to, just to see what would happen. The tower defies gravity and I was stuck looking around in a blue box after finally eating the last brick (no pages of the story were displayed). So if you're as nosy/curious as me, there is your answer. I've saved you some time.
Recommending users push past their preferences (controllers, alternate keyboard layouts) for only a few minutes to experience this brief and powerful work, most of which just involves reading. Really glad I did. Thank you, Oleomingus.
I haven't been able to open it. I'm on a Mac, and as per the instructions I unzipped the file, but it just expands and instead of a folder I just get the application, which gives me an error when I try to open it. I couldn't find a support email so perhaps you can reply here with some troubleshooting tips? Thanks, Annie.
Sorry that you are having trouble running the game on a Mac, while I don't have a Mac at hand to be able to test the problem - if you are running MacOs 10.15 Catalina, then it might be because the game is not notarized.
Hey, I really wanna play this but for some reason every time i launch the game the camera is always slowly spinning and point upward? I unplugged all controllers and even the mouse and reset the game several times and it was still happening. any ideas?
Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear about the camera bug.
We have see that happen just once before on a Mac build on a different game of ours when the connected controller or driver kept forcing the player camera into a spin. But it is surprising here because this game does not support a controller at all. Nonetheless, if you could send me an email at studio(at)oleomingus(dot)com I will send you a build with the controller input completely disabled and I think that might fix the issue.

poignant, surreal, devastating <3
Short enough to sting, sharp enough to be remembered. Many thanks for this, very powerful.

What an incredible game!!! Really loved it! I just read that you all wrote the poem too and it's not a real poet??? that poem was SO GOOD holy crap!
I feel sorry that I can not help ease your pain.
I sincerely thank you for making this game, it is the kind of unique experience I'll never forget.
I love the graphic!
I like playing games from cultures other than my own, and this one didn't disappoint. Very beautiful and moving.

Thank you for your sacrifice, true gamer

This is a deeply beautiful, moving thing.
Thank you so much! I am really glad you found the game to be moving experience.
What a beautiful game, it inspires a feeling of awe and fear in it's design and the written parts are really well done!

Hello Annie,
Sorry that you are having trouble running the game on a Mac, while I don't have a Mac at hand to be able to test the problem - if you are running MacOs 10.15 Catalina, then it might be because the game is not notarized.
You could try downloading and playing the game through Steam, while we try and figure out what the problem might be : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249300/The_Indifferent_Wonder_of_an_Edible_P...
Hope that helps!
Dhruv.
It does look like it would be interesting to download & play sometime.
This was a very beautiful game
Thank you!
Hello,
I stopped at the very beginning. The game is unplayable in AZERTY and you can't rebind the keys.
Regards.
You can actually rebind the keys on the "Input" tab at the launch window
Thank you very much i will check that. :)

What an amazing game. Scary and magical all at once.
Thank you so much!
A gorgeous, moving, terrifying experience.
Thank you! I am really glad you enjoyed the game.
And it is good to know that the despair of its premise did seep through its various absurdities.
