Amazing graphics and atmosphere - loved the sound and voice acting too. Cool idea, would be awesome to have more to do though, but I mean, in 3 days that is really cool - nice work ;)
Cool game, but besides the file size being big, it also puts a huge strain on my computer's processing system. My GPU went up to 100% which can actually put your computer in danger of over heating and seems to be common with Unreal games. Fortunately, it is possible to optimize Unreal games (and maybe you already did and this is redundant), but supposedly it's possible to reduce strain by setting your assets to display at lower polys when further away, breaking your world into smaller chunks with level streaming, etc.. This site had a lot of suggestions.

very emotional / atmospheric. Nice grafics! But hell is it a biiiig size. Also I agree with noodle!s suggestions.
As others mentioned, the large download size is a deterrent. Unfortunately, the motion blur/jerky camera movements risked making me motion sick, so I could not continue without being able to adjust those. Still! The voice acted lines were a fun and surprising touch! With more time, subtitles at the bottom of the screen would've been another much needed feature :-) The personality/vision was definitely there, and from what I saw, the foggy setting was effective in creating an uncertain environment. The opening title page looked very polished! I liked the fonts.
Grate start spooky game not shore what am I. I dis like Unreal Engine as a player the games are big in size.
Good little (but big size) visual story/game 😉
GAMEPLAY
A nearly 2 GB game is usually not downloaded as often in a game jam. Downloadable games generally get played less frequently than web games, especially with this file size. Keep that in mind There wasn't much to do in the game as gameplay except watch and listen, so it felt more like a visual story. However, this was well done, especially once you realize the true meaning behind it. Maybe some more gameplay would have been nice to have.
VISUALS
Visually, the game looked top-notch with the Unreal Engine. Objects were beautifully detailed and sharp, and the effects were well done.
AUDIO
The voice acting was done well, and the audio combined with the visuals really created an eerie feeling, giving a sense that something was not quite right.
THEME
Halloween was incorporated. However, I found it harder to recognize the "You Are the Monster" theme in the game.
Overall it was an emotional experience and that was well done. Keep it going like that 💪
niceee... Can you play, rate and comment on my game too? plssssssss
