I'm not sure I trust the yellow "energy drink" I found in the bathroom...

The objectives were nice polish, but honestly it may have been a bit more fun exploring without them (or, slightly more work, but if they only show up if the player hasn't made any objective progress in 2-5 minutes or so?).  I don't think I was ever confused on where to go (e.g. the dialog about dumping liquid on the console was perfect to get me to remember I saw a bucket earlier).  OMG, I love the fidelity transition, the different lock-pick UI even was a nice touch!  Cutscenes and such were great and really showed a lot of polish.  Nice job!

That was short but very sweet! And in a game jam with plenty of lengthy entries I appreciate brevity!

Overall it was very polished, graphics were good, the various visual effects were great, and I loved the various scripted sequences. The lights powering on was a neat sequence, and getting electrocuted was fun. I also loved the foreboding atmosphere created in the beginning of the game with the blood trails and blood coming out of the ceiling and showers.

The lighting and level layout were also very well done, every area kinda stood out and had it's own vibe from creepy to silly. And the graphics switch when entering the rainbow wave wall was a nice surprise!

The movement was good, I liked being able to hold down keys to move continuously, and it was very fast and snappy. The changing verticality going up and down stairs felt good too.

The various minigames were kinda fun, I kinda wish there was some combat, but considering how much was already done I think it would have been a strectch to have it match the quality level of everything else.

This was very well done, great work!

Nice experience. The main game could have been a bit longer. The parts that were done was nice but mostly in graphical terms which are exceptional.  Lots of special effects and nice cinematics.

It was nice with objectives which helped in knowing what to do next. Lockpicking mechanics also a nice addon.

Spamming on the space bar was an unusual mechanic which was interesting.

It would be nice to get to a pause screen or main menu with esc. Had to Alt+f4 myself out for the game.

The game also has a nice new take on flying down the stairs.

Game is kinda lacking in combat, but is still a nice experience! 

Well done!

Short and sweet, I loved this entry! The lockpicking was well done, and I enjoyed how different things in the vault looked (being vague here to avoid spoilers)

Why was there so much blood? Why did I pick up a knife? Why is there a sassy eldritch tome? I want to know more!

Great job!

Five stars, excellent work! This was really, really good. New mechanics to keep it interesting, just the right amount of player leading, an interesting world that felt right and a very satisfying ending. Really well done I loved this game.

Some notes: I double turned frequently and (I know this has been covered) the camera felt too close to the wall. Also I found a bunch of stuff I didn't use. I assume this means content was cut but it felt out of place regardless.

This was pretty good!

I enjoyed the atmosphere in the beginning. I was almost expecting a jump scare or two. I also really liked the time-out room and the transition between the facility and the ruins.  The puzzles were easy enough to figure out and not get stumped on and it was enjoyable trying to explore and solve how to move forward within the facility.

I only have a few things I would say that stood out that could be adjusted. You did well feeling alone in the facility but I felt the lack of an actual threat.  After picking up the knife I expected to fight something.  The traps in the ruins were well-placed but I think the movement outpaces the speed of the traps. I think slowing down the movement would help make it feel more of an obstacle because you can just wait for them all to go down and just dash right through at the moment.  I would also love to see more puzzles in the ruins where if you mess up something like an order of item placement traps activate and you have to try to avoid them. 

Again great submission!

Great job, top marks!

I really appreciate the time you put into the production value here. The camera work, effects, voiceover, and audio were all given a lot of attention! You were able to do a lot of things that I had hoped to do with our game, did it well, and in the same amount of time! I am impressed that you managed to get so much worked in there.

I am sure you are already aware where there is room for improvement here, most of the tradeoffs seem to be very intentional. Visual fidelity, including animations, a fleshed out combat system, enemies, and more backstory/narrative elements are the obvious ones I will mention though. But this seems like it has a lot of potential to be a great vertical slice, good work!

I'll be honest - i noped out of the blood marks and never looked into that room :D

Game is awesome. There is slight freeze at the start - first turn or so. But then it was smooth and nice. You made me touch... what? And I... did it? Oof... Also, amazing idea with second world being so much different (yet having same kind of medkits hehehe). That escape thing... a bit too much of shaking - I even got nauseous hahah, I fully expected THAT to be warp animation btw! Also why couldn't we use wasd in there? Only arrowkeys :( I got confused!

I don't think I can comment anything useful here. Its a full fledged short game with cinematic parts - it doesn't feel as it was rushed jam entry :o

Edit: One thing, actually, might be helpful. Wall thickness - try to have a bit of volume on them. Otherwise nasty glitches may happen - room next to one with posters - you can see flicker of a poster on a wall in certain angles. Those flikers hard to battle, tbh. And in general walls look way cooler if they are wider than one pixel :) Otherwise - keep on going. For first jam that is a really strong entry!

The game is specially polished.

Every part of the game looks quite good, the environments are very detailed and some verticality is always super cool. I like the atmosphere with the blood especially and the effect when touching the barrier was cool. The pixel dungeon was an interesting way to implement a part out of this world , the ship part works well too and the font and the voice acting fit the game very well. Avoiding traps especially but also the locking picking and spacebar pressing were fun enough. I love the logo/main menu image by the way.

This is a cool game, I'm looking forward to updates.

I had a bug which stopped me progressing (I wasn't able to access the power console), but I watched someone elses play through the production quality is really great and I was not expecting it to go as hard as it did at the end! I think it's really interesting how cinematic you went with the structure story and the progression, just a really cool approach and something that is very challenging to pull off in a jam environment.

Really well done.

This game is a gem, well done!

I love the whole feel of the spaceship. The visuals, the lighting, it's so good but I can't explain why. It just tickles me in the right way. Neat story, simple but engaging gameplay, lovely decorations and rooms, overall it's really good!

I don't really have much else to comment on, honestly. Yes, it's short, but it's fine as a self-contained story and it's presented really well imo. I don't mind the lack of enemies, in fact I find that it adds to the mystery. Making the ship and environment be the enemy is also an option and in this case it fits.

The only issue I noticed is that sometimes the framerate tanked while turning. That was only very early on in the game, iirc, and I didn't notice it again afterwards.

Good job!

A very quality self-contained little adventure. I enjoyed the humor, and the art/level design was very nice. It most definitely works as a teaser for future extensions.

Full playthrough here:

MAN WHAT THE HELL THIS WAS A BLAST HAHAH!!!
Love the game for real! I myself am a guys who loves a game cinematic, nonetheless my favorite games are mainly singleplayer action-adventure story games and this game was just that and I loved it! I really did, got nothing else to say actually, I just loved this keep up the good work!

Wow, for your first ever game this is incredibly well made.  Nice to see a game with a focus on story and exploration over combat and the writing was pretty funny.  The ending was impressive - you clearly put a lot of effort into it and the visuals were stunning during the warp drive, I'd love to see where you go with this one! 

Loved the lockpicking mechanic (I've recently started playing Skyrim again... so it made me laugh to see a similar mechanic here), though I would have preferred using A/D or left/right to adjust the pick.  

Lighting and level design was great too, really reminds me of the original Half Life, and cool to see you added slopes to add a bit of variety to navigating the levels  Getting zapped and thrown backwards by the electricty was a cool and cinematic addition too, rather than being locked to the grid the whole time. 

Awesome game, and looking forward to seeing what you do with this! 

Short and sweet. The graphics reminded me of like half life or deus ex era scifi stuff, despite being inconsistent with the higher poly stuff and the dungeon. The camera work during the action scenes, especially the end was great. My only complaint is I wanted more! 

Very cool! The ending was really high quality for a jam like this. Personally I think the use of some very high poly models hurt the retro style of the game a bit (looking at that toilet in particular) and maybe some combat would have been nice but overall very fun and quality game!

Man, that was epic. How did you realize camera work and story events in such a short time frame? Superb graphics and sound, just amazing work all around. I wish there was more after the warp drive stuff :)

I really had some fun with this, especially with the [REDACTED] that was done with my shenanigans. Nice atmosphere, was expecting a lot worse to happen to the protag! Would like to see a more fleshed out version with some plot points and backstory.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and attention to dramatic use of effects, lightning and sounds. The minimages where nice too even if I don’t like the button mashing style that much. Here it was limited and served a narrative purpose.

Some things did confuse me besides when my quest got stuck.

Since the instructions didn’t mention using the mouse and since the game was very good at popping up a “Do something with [SPACE]” instruction whenever there was something to interact with, I didn’t understand the lock picking at first. Because I held space and it sounded like something was happening. And then I tried moving the mouse while holding space. I accidentally picked one before I got that it was a align with mouse *before *pressing space game.

The other thing I didn’t get was the energy drinks, what were they used for?

If you continue work on it, make it so one can interact with the toilet too. I think that is mandatory if there’s one in the game ^^

I really liked the break room.

Oh yeah a very small bug/thing in the final scene with the press these keys game, then WASD wasn’t mapped, only arrow keys.

Really solid entry as a whole.
