Very nice. During the flashback I get stuck after stepping on the small thing that appears when interacting with the black or red thing at the top. it elevates me into the sky and i can fly but no idea where to. Multi-jump controls are kind of broken - had to use mountains/ledges to get up. I feel ya - the standard Unity Third Person Controller isn't that great :/ Voice could have been more dream/epic effect with reverb effect (perhaps tweaking in-unity AudioSource settings would be enough - else audacity) But the voice was nice and telling-somebody-a-story like. Aesthetics are very nice. Looking forward to your future projects!

Hello iwanPlays, thanks for your comment :D
I just uploaded the old (not functional versions) so my teachers can see my progress during the last weeks :) I recently uploaded the newer and functional version (v.0.99999 whatsoever). I hope, a lot of things will be fixed there.
The voices were done by friends and with more reverb, they sounded kinda weird, so that's why I left it as it was. And yeah, you know Unity... its kinda hard xD

Thank you a lot for playing it!

The female voice is actually very convincing and well acted :o you write friends did the voices? is this her profession?? But yes some echoes or effects would be nice for the voice of the player  just because the narrator voice sounds full of effects.

The story is well written :>

Sorry for the late answer! :O
Yeah, this is a friend of mine and she is pretty skilled in sound design and more :D
I will keep it in my head for further projects to add more effects to the recordings. 

Thank you for your comment! <3
