Really cool game! I like the art style and the overall vibe of the game is nice and creepy. It took me quite a bit to figure out that I had to be crouching to open the panel thing on the side of the elevator to get the flashlight, but I think that was the only thing I struggled with in the game. I was really surprised by the ending and it added to the creepyness of the game for sure. Great work!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Amazing graphics, and the controls felt smooth. The having to grab and look at different parts to do anything system kind of frustrated me a bit, it made it feel difficult to do simple things, like I couldn't figure out how to use the ladder fast enough to get back into the elevator. Other than that Awesome job!

Developer

thank you! You don't need to go back to the elevator, you need to jump into another one :) didn't have time to think about the design of the first elevator lock (

Very nice experience, scary but enjoyable, I loved the phone's riddle to open the door and the ending was unexpected, it's a shame we got so little, a full game developed like this would be lovely. Great job!

thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Unfortunately, the hand mechanics were a bit more complicated than I expected, and I couldn't get all the content into the game :(.

I see, but it was kinda worth it, I loved how you developed that system

lags like crazy on my mid to high range pc, but i wont let that detract from how great this short little experience is!

This was pretty great! I'm not sure if intended, but it almost felt like this was being made for VR? Was cool that the mouse performed actions for each hand. The monster was scary. Also the ending was... well let's just say I don't have to buy jeans or shoes anymore. This was a great start to a finished game I'll hopefully be able to play in the future! Great work!

Thanks for the kind words! The game was not planned for VR, but in general it's possible, in general in the future I'll use the mechanics of interaction between hands and environment more often, and in this jam I wanted to test it :).

Jams are great for testing systems, that's what we did with our game. Your mechanic is a good one, it adds to the terror because like it says. The monster is scared of the light, but you have to put the flashlight up to use your hand lol.

Cool. If you could also add sensing settings and optimization, it lags terribly for me. Also I got stuck in the elevator where the code is 1C

Developer(+1)

thanks! added some customizations, hopefully it will get better :) about the riddle - it's probably not the letter C, but an unfilled digit :)
