a cover of le ravissement de frank in 3D is a really good concept. i think you did a good job at adapting the environments, and it definitely has a similar feel to the original while adding a new dimension to it by way of adding gameplay and the option of jumping off at the start. but it could use some more graphical fidelity to put it on par with the original, some textures and outlines... but also the music :-)
some of my favorite art I encounter is stuff that points me to other works to investigate, and this is among that category. it's surprisingly disarming, and quietly spooky in a way I quite enjoy. I found myself turned around a few times when looking around the rooms and ended up going the wrong direction, but I think it contributed to the overall vibe and was similar to a beat in the original short, which I watched after playing this. I guess I didn't know it, but I was familiar with a frame from the original short, it's used as the album art for R Plus Seven by Oneohtrix Point Never. Because I've been pointed to the original short through this, now I get to consider 3 works in conversation with each other, where before all I had was an album I like, and I really appreciate that.

what a privilege to receive such a response of something i was inspired to build
I like these minimalist corridors and solitude of moving towards the unknown!
thanks, this was an attempt at doing a kind of "cover" of an iconic old animated short called Le Ravissement De Frank N. Stein
Thank you, that's a wonderful homage! (Tbh. I wasn't aware of this short - and find it both really amazing.)
