Great game, no fighting but more logical outrunning, I like that! Also the game isn't hard or easy and the atmosphere is great! Also the placement of them are great, not to much. I encountered the bug that after you got the tool (first of three) but then get the tractor key, it didn't updated it until I found the car battery. This game could be developed further with more levels and more mechanics, like crafting, hiding and more! Keep it up!

Great visuals! Couldn't manage to get the tractor key but I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Good visuals and atmosphere, the zombies didn't pose much of a threat since you can run faster than them all the time but I got jumpscared by the loud interaction sound effects instead :)
I'm not sure if the zombies react to proximity or sight or something else entirely, occasionally I can sprint in front of one without them noticing. It actually happened with the first zombie I encountered and I just approached thinking it was an NPC or something :D Anyway like others said, it could be interesting to have a mechanic to deal with them instead of just outrunning them.
Anyway, good entry!
Excellent game! Good use of lighting and fog to create a nice horror scene. Sound effects were well done, you could tell when you were being followed. Path finding works well. Not being able to fight back adds to the tension. It's the most fun game I've played out of this jam!
fun little horror game, cool atmosphere.
P.S. couldn't find the key.
Good submission.
Very much appreciated the ambience and atmosphere you created. Good choice of music/ambient noise and the right amount of fog to obscure the players vision without making the game completely unplayable. Got jump-scared by the first zombie I encountered, snuch right behind me. Matches the theme well too.
For improvements, maybe add another game mechanic e.g. a way to trap zombies, a different type of zombie, etc. to add more depth to the gameplay.
Nice job!
Thank you for such detailed feedback :) Much appreciated!
Really glad that jump-scare worked :) it is not scripted, because of random rotation - zombie can often overlook you :)
I thought to add another zombie type, which will detect player by sound, but haven't had time to implement. As well as I thought to add weapon with very limited ammo, but it will also attract enemies then shot.
I liked the foggy visuals and the aesthetic was nice overall. Really felt it needed some more work on music and sound effects to give some character to the zombies and the city itself.
It was great! The ambiance was really good, a really small Silent Hill hehe...
Cool little horror exploration game! Very nice visuals! Good environmental story telling.
nice game, impressive 3d environment for a game jam, i had a good time sprinting around the city trying to find my tractor keys! i think a sprint fatigue bar would help give a feeling of helplessness while you search
