I believe this game has a lot of potential if more time and effort are invested in expanding it. However, as it stands, it became repetitive by the second lab, where the same puzzle was reused. I really enjoyed the narrative elements—discovering objects, reading them, and uncovering insights. But by the third puzzle, which was significantly longer than the previous ones without a clear reason, it started to feel like a chore, even causing discomfort in my wrist. When I got to the fourth puzzle and realized it would require two minutes of rapid mouse clicking and intense hand-eye coordination, I decided to stop playing.

One thing that stood out as particularly awkward was the mixed control scheme. Using the mouse for movement but the keyboard for interacting, sprinting, and opening the inventory felt inconsistent and unintuitive. It would be better to choose one control scheme and stick with it—either a full point-and-click system or a keyboard-only setup. Mixing the two creates a jarring experience, forcing the player to constantly switch between control styles in a way that doesn’t feel fluid.

That said, I liked the nostalgic sound effects, especially in the menu, and the art was decent. The sprint mechanic felt awkward—having to press Shift and the left mouse button simultaneously for sprinting is counterintuitive. The default key layout was also unusual, with X and C for interaction and inventory, though I appreciated that you allowed key remapping for keyboard, at least—something many game jam entries overlook. I’d love to see this game evolve into a fully narrative-driven exploration experience.

So, I made my review in the form of a video review - Check it out  :) 

A pretty solid game. Only things that I didn't enjoy were that: the controls change in every new game(not a big deal but still), wished there was a button to stop digging trough the bin after finding the codes and wished you could go fullscreen. Other than that, the game was fun:)

The game was great, and the audio was trully amazing and well done! I really liked the graphics too. There are a few things I’d change, like being able to move with WASD or having the option to enter doors and open the inventory with a UI button and the mouse, as someone else mentioned. Also, at first, I thought 'Go Out' meant exit the game and 'Keep Searching' meant continue—I might be wrong, but maybe changing that to something more intuitive would help. Just to clarify, even though I’m mentioning more suggestions than compliments, I genuinely enjoyed the game!

A very polished game, not much to complain about! The only point on which I am a little picky is the fact of using keyboard keys when the majority of the game is done with the mouse. In general I am rather for limiting to the keyboard or the mouse when we do not strictly need both ^^

Bravo for this entry!

Nice game, the end got me lmao, it was overall good and I liked the fact you need to collect all the codes to open the lab doors! Good job!

10/10 from me, I have the ability to control the setting, I can change keybind, the music is so fitting for this game, the gameplay is just so fun (my arm hurt but it was worth it), the menu is beautiful. I hope this game would win this jam

Nice game, well done. It was abit hard for me to read as the text type didn't make it easy. So I suggest a more clear text font would be nice, I like your story. It was simple but still interesting and I already new what to do from the story. I like the music too it was fast paste but much theme you went with.  This game have a lot of potential to grow by adding diffent type of puzzles and level. Great job.

At first I thought it was a rhythm game, since it felt like the papers were showing up when I clicked on them, but then I noticed that one would simply show up after I picked up an other, so there were always the door's number of papers available to click. It allowed for some strategy, so I could wait to pick up some, if there was a convenient cluster of them elsewhere. Also felt like a rhythm game cause the music is really energetic. It got my head bobbing.

Entering the door passcodes was satisfying too. Liked finding the bit of lore found right before an unexpected end.

Loved how you integrated an aim trainer as part of the game's story. It was a lot of fun.

Thanks for sharing with the stream! Here's the VOD of your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2255286225?t=02h06m29s

I almost didn't play this game because I thought it was horror but when I realized it was pretty much aimlabs I GOT SO HAPPY. I could not stop smiling while playing it was really addicting and I loved the music a lot!! Only thing is my wrist got quite sore because the last levels were quite long, but it was really a fun play. Entering the codes into the keypads was quite satisfying too. Overall really enjoyed it except the end, did not appreciate the jumpscare but overall amazing job!!!

Nice job! I like the music and visuals, and I'm always up for a good code-puzzle ^-^ I tend to agree with other comments about the paper clicking game, but my main thing is the controls - the click controls and  keyboard controls don't complement one another very much; it would be really nice to be able to click the doors to open them, or to see my inventory by hovering the mouse at the top of the screen etc. (or to have it all controlled by keyboard except for the paper game) to make it more cohesive. Overall, though, good work :D

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at it again in the future heres the vod timestamped to your game
