Thanks for including a video to showcase the cool ideas that you put together for the jam! I think the text side of it looked clean, the colouration of special key words along with action log worked well. I really like the mix of a text-based adventure with the resident evil style inspection of items - as it add character to the game, gives some visuals, yet doesn't stop the players imagination from building the world that the game is set in. Awesome work dude!

Other comments (Code / Art / Sound / Audio)
I wanted to try and make everything that would go into the game but ran out of time in regards to the music.
Did you enjoy the jam? Is there anything you'd change if you could start over?
It was great fun but i think for my 3rd time using UE i maybe should have been a little less ambitious. I thought the text adventure aspect would be easy and in some ways it was but there were also a lot of pitfalls i didn't consider.
Spending a day planning will be crucial in the future
Aren't you awesome for being creative and taking part?
Yes
