Oh my lord, was not expecting the jumpscare xD You really timed it well with the long message, well done!
For a project as small as this I really felt invested and wanting to know more, the story was mysterious enough, and the twist of goal was original! Great game jam :)
Thanks, I had done that on purpose with inspiration from the scary maze game (you had to get closer to the computer or concentrate to read what I put down to read). In a reply to someone else's comment here, I did explain my idea if you want to see it :)
it was realy surprising game well done, i jumped on my seat :D
i think mouse is very sensitive.
yeah, I should have made a mouse sensitivity config, but I just left it as is. If others have an issue with it, I will change it. Thanks for playing :)
Really fun!
thanks :)
Hi! Just tested your game. Here is some comments, suggestions, questions & random thoughts that I wrote while playing:
Overall, interesting experience. It was something that I certainty was not expecting. Creative use of the theme!
i actually made it so that i could easily adjust the text speed, would you like for me to change that part? I could really only judge the speed based on my reading. I did leave one part fast on purpose though. About the lighting, yes that was intended, but I do see what you mean. I was planning on adding mini games, but I couldn't really figure out how much time I could allocate into making other parts, or at least making the train longer. Jumpscares aren't everybody's thing, so fair enough. The platform thing was to sort of feel the dread that you missed it, the other reason was to make sure you could not get to the end before going through the train. There was supposed to be more light but webgl didn't seem to like post processing for the platform part, so it was a bit dark. I can try to fix it tomorrow if I don't feel lazy.
Edit:
I was reading it on my phone and didn't see everything :). I will make the text changes if I get others with the same issue. The ideas that you mentioned, such as adding more chaos by getting all the other platforms to fall would have been a nice addition, wish I thought of that earlier. As for adding additional minigames, I did say I was planning on adding others, I was thinking most likely going back to the train but you have different tasks or different interactions. Other than time, the other reason I didn't do it was that I couldn't think of anything else at the time.
My original idea was that every time you would die, an unknown other being (the train narrator) would pull you in their world trying to keep you there and you would have to try to get out. I didn't put too much time in the lore, but I was going to use the cube as the thing that could transport you between the games. In the case of the game that I made, it was only used once and didn't have much of an explanation.
Thanks for trying my game, i was trying to reply to each part :)
Yeah, I think you answered to all of my points!
It would have surely been interesting to have multiple visits to the train. There was certain mystery around the voice and it would have been cool if there has been even more depth to the lore there. Then with each new visit you could have learned more. But I definitely understand that in a jam game one can never include all the possible ideas because the time is just going to run out at some point.
Very spooky, nice atmosphere, always felt like I was being watched :)
Thanks!
I removed the assets that I got (from the unity asset store) from the source. I added download links that are needed. Please let me know if I am allowed to have free aseets from the Unity Asset store in my source. I will change it back if that is the case.
I am aware that there is some issues with the lighting settings and post processing in the webgl build, it works fine in the unity edtior. Still deciding whether I feel that it is worth trying to fix it.
