What do you like about your game?
Amount of work. It may be short in playthrougs and not exactly groundbreaking, but I learned a lot of stuff during those two weeks.

I really liked this! The story was interesting and I liked the art style.
The text itself needs a bit of revision, lots of typos/grammar issues.
I also think it would be nice to be able to tell who is talking.
Other than that I think it is a great game!
I really liked the ending!
What a fantastic story. And those jumpscares be jumpscaring.
I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Really liked the story! If you decide to make this into a full game, maybe add more endings so that we can survive? Would be cool to reveal the conspiracy xD
Conspiracy story?, I loved it
The atmosphere is kind of eerie, the dialog goes too fast sometimes.
Got jumpscared 9/10 =p
Loved the game! The story was captivating and I feel you did a great job with writing, narration and world building. There were moments where it felt like walk simulator tho, but I still had fun! Great game
Thanks man!
Yeah, at the end I really struggled, trying to make at least some kind of gameplay.
Still ended up being a walking sim :D
Jam games aren’t made without sacrifices o7
I can't say much else, perfectly consolidated. You made a story from start to finish that intrigues the player! Good plot, a good ending, good visuals, and a good game overall! The end sequence image I would like it to be a little longer tho, i couldn't read the entire message. Well done! :)
thats such an amazing game with nice visuals, i like the controls and the level design keep up the good work and good luck with jam :D
Thanks for playing and review)
I kinda got horror game vibes from this. The cave bit really scared me, lol.
The story has a pretty nice pacing!
Thanks)
Echo did all the work in the cave :D
Enjoyed playing that - got to the end :)
Well presented and good story. However, it was a little too slow paced and the interactions could've had more action & variation (a lot of the gameplay was place this thing over there...).
Still, it was cool how the story unfolded and I like the cut scenes and the overall look of the game - great job!
I liked it! Got a little startled by the explosion at the start but in an intended way I believe haha
Liked the story twist underground
Thanks for playing and review)
Yeah, I kinda overdid the explosion 😅
that was quite the rollercoaster of a narrative, pretty fun to go through! im thoroughly impressed with how a lot of the cutscenes look like in the game, especially the beginning parts! it has great use of camera motion to simulate head and body movement making the scenes feel grounded and natural (also the blinking animation is a very nice touch)! the environmental set pieces of the game also look very well crafted, the layouts of everything feel grounded and realistic, really gave me a good sense of immersion while going through the game!
the story was fun to go through but there were times were i felt a little loss. besides the grammatical errors, it would have been nice to have names in the text so the player can have a better idea on who might be talking (even something like Person A and B would have been good). also the text sometimes went by a little too fast for me (especially with the short text). regardless, this was a fun conspiracy narrative to read and i liked the slow build up towards the ending where you go around the base and gradually learn the true nature of where you're at.
really nice game, could tell you put a lot of effort in it! really enjoyed the environment and world building, the presentation was great! great work!
Damn, that is the biggest review, I ever saw :D
Thanks) Glad, you enjoyed.
And yeah, the game seriously lacks dialog/objective controls. Unfortunately, I'll have to redo the codebase completely to fix that)
Pretty well made, the translation could have been better and i had a hard time imagining the people that were talking to the protagonist but otherwise it was a really solid experience
Thanks for review)
Wrote dialogs without translator so, yeah ... 😅 My English is not great)
Was a good practice, though)
I loved it! That was quite a journey! Amazing job building those environments and stitching them together with the story. Really well done!
Pacing improved when I discovered 'shift'. :D
I can absolutely imagine redesigning the desert location as a large puzzle, making it a little less linear.
Excellent job!!
Thanks for playing and review)
Glad, you enjoyed it!
cool experience, definitely defied my expectations, dialogue did get annoying after a bit
Thanks)
Yeah, I think it is because of lack of "emotions" in text, as well, as ambient
Awesome game! The only thing is sometimes the text disappeared to fast for a non-native speaker to read.
Thanks for playing and review)
I hope, I'll find a time to fix this after the jam ends
Well, Good game, with a good story. The only critic will be the game seems slow to me. it would also be better if there were any button to speed up the dialouge. Best of luck.
Thanks)
Yeah, the game seriously lacks ability to control dialogs and objectives(
Didn't get it in time
Had a great time with this and you gave me a good jump with that explosion, honestly shocked that you managed to get so much done in the short time provided for this jam, truly impressive work my friend. Honestly was hoping for more but man you had already created so much, how could I ask for more, great work!
Thanks)
That was, for sure, the rough two weeks 😁
Nice game. I love the little cinematics looking around or picking up objects that transition very smoothly with the gameplay. The story and presentation are engaging and I had a good time :)
Thanks for review!
Glad, you enjoyed it)
Saw your game in one of your posts, will definitely check it out when I get there.
Your Game is very Cool
Thanks)
