How does your game fit the theme?
It is all about loss of senses. Our idea is an online co-op game that each player lacks a sense. The one player lacks vision and the other lacks hearing. Our first player (no vision) needs to navigate in the level in order to find the exit. The second player(no hearing) sents him audio cues to help him navigate in the level. Each player is kinda "out of control" because they need to trust each other.)

Looks like you need to start up 2 copies of the game to play both the video cams and the guy in the room. From what I could tell, the video cams player can press the arrow keys to ping the other player's screen with directions, but I couldn't figure out how to switch between different video cams. Also, the video cams person seems kind of useless at first glance since you can still kind of see as the person.

Edit: Played this again with the knowledge of how to change the cams. It's super difficult to navigate as the person even if you're also controlling the cameras due to the lights only being on for short periods of time. The game is very well presented though. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the environment looks really nice. Very well done.

Developer

It's a co-op multiplayer game, you need 2 people to play this game. The controls are in the page description, you can use q and e to switch cameras. Also, if you play alone then of course the camera guy is useless because you already know the path. Thank you for playing our game!

How does the multiplayer work? Do you have a server somewhere that will automatically connect the first 2 people to join into the same session?

Developer

It is done with photon so we use their servers and in the free session we can support only 1 session per time. The first that will connect we arrange him to be the camera guy and the second is the player in the level. No time for lobby...
