How does you game fit the theme?
There are hiding creatures in fog and you are seemingly alone in a desolate city which fits the theme of you are not alone.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I did all the code myself and created the models myself as well, the music and sounds are copyright free.

I will say that the game has potential. The visuals and music is really good and fits the game idea. There is not much to do, and yo can't sell anything and there is for now no reason to do so. The controls was a too complex for a super simple game. But anyway I still liked playing it, and with a bit more work I could see myself come back to this one.
The poly art is awesome! The game is straightforward! Needs a bit of variety gameplay, but otherwise fun. Awesome job! Thanks for making this!
Thank you!! I didn't have time to finish all the mechanics but I might release some updates to add some things.
The visuals look great, but more variety or gameplay could make this better :). Feel free to check out my game if you have the time ;)
All I could figure out to do was plant and harvest crops. May need some prompts for activities when targeting various activation points.

Awesome game, I really like the visuals :)
I would love to see some more gameplay like a shop etc. :)
couldn't find the creature in the fog....
IDK why but my steamVR always opens if I run the game xD
Thanks I was thinking of doing a shop system where you can buy expansions to new rooftops and things like that, but I didn't have time. The creatures are hidden in and amongst the buildings, try looking on top of buildings or behind objects :)
It's always the time that ends up running out :)
Are the creatures those little spike things?
To bring out the theme a little more and give the game a little challange. There could be birds (pigeons, gulls) which appear and destroy the fields. They fly away as soon you get too close to them. Just a little idea that came in my mind :)
I often realese a little hotfix and add a few little features for my games after the voting ended.
But I also think it's good to leave the game as it is and focus on other projects.
Yeah, big spoiler here but they are meant to be gnomes. They are probably hidden too well. The birds mechanic is a good idea actually, I might continue working on this after voting period ends and try to add some of the suggestions:)
Pretty one, Congrats on submitting! All the best. Please check ours.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
The choice of landscape is very unique for this jam and pairing that with farming was a great choice. It definitely makes you feel alone. In terms of gameplay, the core was nice, but there was little variety. Maybe if there was a reason to plant certain crops?
Thanks the crops do sell for different values and take longer to grow, but I'll try to think of some other way to vary the crops.
This is an impressive scene with a cute little game loop.
However, you will not get too many rating with a .5 GB download. And the first thing your game does is calling home to Epic which is a big no no for me
Thanks, that's a good point about the download size. What do you mean by calling home to epic?
It tried to make a internet connection (blocked by my firewall) and it seemed to try to contact epic-pages. Probably some diagnostics stuff? I don't know what Unreal is capable of.
That's weird i'll see if I can sort that somehow.
Great game loved the farming gameplay. I didn't see any of the creatures in the fog but I felt like the game still fit the theme without them as you may look like your alone you are together with your tiny farm.
