How does you game fit the theme?
The main character is seemingly all alone on a lake.. but in reality They're Not Alone at all.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
all the code yes, all the assets no. but i gave credit.

Interesting concept. The game really deep to atmosphere.
But need work about realisation. Boat flies above water when you near the dock and move very slow. Transition from lighting to row goes through character model.

Split taleThe idea is fun, and really like the games atmosphere. I will say I never so anything happening and I actorly believe I was alone. But any way a pretty scarry little jam game.

The King Must Not FallI’m really impressed with the polish. It feels very cinematic, the voice acting is great and a lot of the scene looks photorealistic. It feels eerie in a way that reminds you of being freaked out by dumb stuff as a kid.
I’m not sure what happened for me, but I kept getting all the way to some point very close to the dock and then the boat would stop still and I couldn’t row any closer. Not sure if that was a bug or something that I was doing wrong, but still enjoyed this a lot.
Great job on this, thanks for sharing. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.
Edit: Replayed this again, and I actually did manage to get to the end. I think I maybe you just slow down a lot as time goes on? I was moving near the end.

Foo HeppyNathan thank you for playing my game and the fantastic feedback. You're spot on, I introduced a LERP-related bug right before the deadline and had to accept submitting the game with the bug due to lack of time. Unfortunately each time you row it recalculates distance and the amount of time it should take to arrive at the dock--and the bug is that the closer you get the slower the boat moves.. all due to an attempt to make the game last longer than the ~20 second experience it was initially.
I'll try your game. Thanks again.
Nice atmosphere! While I am expecting something special to happen, but nothing is going to happen. Anyway, good job!

Love & CheeseGood job on the atmosphere! The addition of voice acting was actually really great!

NightwatchGreat atmosphere! Also had a few problems looking with the mouse - but maybe it just adds to the creepiness!

The OrbReally nice graphics!
Not sure if it's just me, but the "aim" of the mouse was very jumpy, otherwise good job!

DUSK TILL DAWNThe atmosphere is definetely there, though I didn't really see the actual monster, or whatever it was supposed to be. I guess I was really lucky to get to the end without dying. Nice job!

Blood of your BloodI think the audio was really good in this! I played the first time and survived. I then played again to test if you could die and can confirm you can die :P
