So, that's the result of my first Ludum Dare.
I'm not sure if you can actually call it a game, since there is no real gameplay but I try to tell a very short story about what lies in the subconcious(beneathconcious), or in other words, beneath our reality. Beneath the surface of our perception, our mind, so to speak.

Great atmosphere - I like the feel of stumbling around in a dark room and discovering things. The floor tile highlighting effect works well. I feel like the scrollbar detracted a little .. that said, I'm not sure about the best alternative approach (eg, one common approach would be to have the text appear under the collectible on the background & stay put, but then you couldn't read back over the whole thing).
Thank you for your positive reply, actually I thought that I ruined the atomosphere completely. I'm glad that someone tells me otherwise.
I completely agree on the scrollbar, it has been bothering me the whole time, but for whatever reason unity doesn't support scrollboxes with their scrollbar on the left side... I've read about a workaround, but I couldn't get it to work.
Then I thought about placing the whole text thing on the right, but that was even worse (since you move to the right most of the time).
Pretty deep, nice take on the theme. The darkness was pretty cool too, For the text, I think you could have got away with just showing 3 at a time, and then clearing the area and showing another 3 (instead of the scroll bar). But meh, in 48 hours it's still pretty sweet!
I really liked the mechanism, telling the story that way. This could've been a lot better, if suppose, the player was given some more freedom to move around levels, not be that linear. The scroll bar kept resetting after each E, so had to scroll down every time. But it was a good attempt, played through till the end.
I liked it! It's a different twist on the theme than I've seen in other entries.
Loved the lighting of the tiles (may have to borrow that :) ) deep and dark and pretty cool
Nice concept, with some more gameplay/puzzle elements, this could be something special! Congrats!
Simple, elegant and yes a little too linear but it is a nice take on the theme and I really liked the message. Good Job!
Nice game! I enjoyed the dark and minimalist visual style and the texts. It would have been really cool if, like in "stage" 2, the texts would more often appear in non-linear order, making you guess what's next or just messing with your brain. :)
PS: Thank you for the nice long comment for my game. I wrote an answer in my games comments section, if you're interested.
Nice little story, I like the way the game tells it. Although the graphics and physics are a bit buggy, it does the job really well. It's great for what it is.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
