Great atmosphere, with a good sounds design quality.
First of all, some message to tell people to use headphone or at least have increase the volume would be great, has all is based on sounds (I had to read makra comment to realize it).
Camera mechanic could be cool, but seems to be rarely used or hard to used at the right time (I don't know).
The camera movement often 'reset' (is it done on purpose ?)
This could be greatly improve by helping user a bit more, increase hint sounds volume over time, even some subtle lightning hint..

Overall the was a great experience, just need to be a little tutorialized.

Developer

All great points. Definitely will consider what the player does and does not know going into the next project.

For the camera movement resetting - are you referring to the player camera/view? Sometimes, when playtesting the game, my camera would snap around making it a little difficult to look around. But I was the only one to experience this issue on our team so I figured it might be something to do with my input rather than the game itself. If you experienced this as well though, it may be more of a bug than originally thought.

Also a great idea on increasing volume over time - didn't think of this but it would have helped a lot.

Thanks for the great feedback and for trying out the game!

Sucker for PS1 styled horror/mystery game here.. immediately fell in love with the game. Few points for other players:

- Use headphones (immediately draws your attention to a task, as  they are associated with an audio that's 3D)
- With an impending task you'd lose your brain quickly.. so finish them quickly
- For the unusual things -- I was just able to find the sofa sticking to wall to be unusal.. not sure if I missed some as I remember my health ticking down quickly some times and I wasn't able to find why before losing all my brain.


Overall very immersive & cool!

Developer

Appreciate you taking the time to spell those out for others. Helps us see the game from a different perspective and learn what may not be so clear.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

i really liked the vibe and atmosphere set by the game!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Graphics and sound design are excellent! Much higher quality than what I'm used to seeing in a game jam.

Developer

Yours was high quality as well! Thanks so much for playing!

Submitted

Great atmosphere and  I love the lighthouse setting. The sound effects gave me a bit of a PT vibe.  I couldn't quite get the hang of the camera mechanics (died a few times), but it definitely was the creepiest game I've played in the jam yet.

Developer

One of the things we thought about a little too late was communicating exactly what players needed to do. We could have done a little better with providing direction and making things a little more clear. But glad you tried it out and thanks for playing!

Submitted

fun game! I like the idea and the atmosphere too!

Developer

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted

while its a little unclear what to take pictures of I definitely like the concept, the idea of living in a lighthouse is one of my bigger fears so this did tap into that isolation kind of thing.
The audio and visuals are also top notch with just the camera sound creeping me out as well!

Developer(+1)

Agreed on the pictures. We thought about coming up with some way of making a clear distinction between taking pictures and interacting with some things, but ran out of time and had to just focus on getting stuff cleaned up. Thanks for playing! 

Wow, what an incredible experience! You've clearly put a lot of heart and creativity into this game, and it really shows. The attention to detail and the way everything comes together is truly impressive. I had such a great time playing, and I can tell this is something special. Keep up the amazing work!

Developer

Thank you very much! We are already looking forward to the next game jam haha

Submitted

Very nice concept, good job!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!

Submitted

Really liked the game, there are really few 3D games in this jam, congrats.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted

Liked the game! As others have mentioned, you implemented the atmosphere very well, and I jumped a bit with some of the sounds.

Developer

Yeah, when playtesting our game and hearing the sounds for the first time, I was surprised with how well they fit too! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

the game was fun! :) and i love the graphics

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

The game's graphics and the feeling it gives are really great. Well done, congratulations, and good luck

Developer

Much appreciated! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Very fun, loved the atmosphere and sound work. Good choice of the paintings, Saturn Devouring his Son really creeped me out when I saw it! :D

Developer(+1)

Great to have someone notice that in particular! I personally think that painting is also the most unsettling haha

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted

Your game definitely has the atmosphere and the vibes in it! Loved the low poly art style, and the unsettling discomfort caused by the environment and paranoia. I wasn't expecting the couch to be on the ceiling! Very unique game, great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Cool atmosphere, good vibes!

I just have a few tips for you: If you use real-time lighting in indoor environments, you need to increase the number of extra lights per pixel to get them all rendered correctly. Also, you might want to try clarifying the "brains" mechanic.

Overall, good work!

Developer

I was hoping someone would have some tips on the lighting haha thank you!! 🙏 definitely an area I’ll be focusing on in prep for the next project.

Also agreed on clarifying some mechanics.

Thanks for playing!! Excited to play and rate yours!

Submitted

Hee-ho. Cool vide and style. Like it. Thank you 

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

That was pretty eerie, I wasn’t able to get very far though, although that might just be because I don’t play many horror games.

Developer

Thank you! I think some adjustments to balancing and pacing could be partially the case as well but thanks for trying it out!

Submitted

The funny thing is the cat on the bed look's Exactly like mine in the game. I like the atmosphere in this game.

Developer

haha crazy coincidence! Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

This was pretty cool!

Could use some faster pacing on the earlier nights

Still really enjoyed it

Keep making games!

Developer

Agreed on the pacing - thanks for the feedback and trying out the game!
