Oh man, I love this reddit story, its so good, nice work bringing it to life! Do the curves in the road count as left and right or just the intersections with the stop signs?
Hey! So glad you enjoyed it! The Left Right Game has been one of my favorite stories for a while, and it was a blast creating a video game based on it! The curves do not count as turns. You are correct, only the stop signs count. Thanks for the post! Have a great New Year!
Hey, just played your game. Wanted to try it from the beginnig. It took a while as I have only Linux on my PC - but I finally took my wife's old laptop (which couldn't run the game even at 30 FPS lol).
I felt genuinely scared! I don't play horror games because of this exact reason :D So good job! I liked the mood, the music, fog, the design of 'enemies'. And the hospital stage was something I don't want to go through again (in a good sense if you know what I mean). I lost in the hospital (jump scare #1) and after that I managed to exit the hospital (jump scare #2. WHOAH). Shortly after that I hit ESC to pause the button and the game exitted :D So that finished my experience...
- The driving could be a bit smoother (it doesn't have to be perfect for this kind of game but I felt like I was struggling with that aspect a bit too much)
- I would also like the voicover to be a bit louder in comparison to other sounds (I could barely hear it because of the engine noises and it's a pitty as the voicover was super good and moody).
I am also impressed how well the game looks - I felt like being inside a real world (trees werent repetetive, roads led to somewhere, differences in terrain elevation felt naturals and interesting). The shear number of assets inside of a 3D game made in a month was impressive. I didn't feel like anything was a placeholder there (maybe not counting for how the text prompts were presented but oh well).
N-I-C-E
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! It was definitely fun to make. Thanks for bringing up the escape button issue, I'll definitely look into that. Glad I got to share this story with you!
Just so you know this person has stolen your game and is passing it off as their own (along with games by many others) https://localbreaker222.itch.io/left-right
Woah... How did you find out?
Luckily their page has been pulled now! But I saw someone else mention the same thing to another game creator, looked in to the persons page and realized every game they had was stolen. So I reported every one and messaged every game creator :)
I mean... piracy is one thing (don't want to open up a discussion on this topic)... But this is an outright IP theft... I just can't...
But there's also a lesson to be learned - keep your contact info, links to different profiles INSIDE your build (e.g. in the corner on the title screen). That way a player can easily recognize if they were scammed.
@AMaddux - did you make this submission listed on itch.io page (i.e. "searchable"?).
Dang..... Thanks for catching that! That's crazy, wow lol.
I think I did make it searchable. Why?
Just curious how did they come across your game and if should I search for illegal compies of mine as well :)
I had no prior knowledge on the LeftRight game, which I think maybe detracts from the experience here. Perhaps a quick summary of what the LeftRight game is and how to play it would help in the game? I imagine players familiar with that story will get more out of it (I just started reading it because of this game and it's pretty fascinating!)
After reading a few of the chapters of the Left/Right game, I came back and played again. It added a lot to the experience!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks! Yeah that's one of my favorite stories.
Hey Jakuro,
I felt intensely uncomfortable. Very well done.
Embarrassingly, I kept forgetting if my last turn was left or right. I had to take a break after my third death.
Loved the voice over. And the wording of the Uncle's letter.
I would like the car breaks to be stronger.

Thanks for playing! I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea, so I appreciate it! The car controls are definitely something I'm hoping to improve. Appreciate the feedback!
