- The art style, the atmosphere, the game concept, all connected extremely well! The developers did a great job expressing the theme of the jam in a unique, yet simple way. The name of the game is obviously not a coincidence as it's AmongUs inspired, but with a nicely added twist to the genre. And while it is easily the best game I've tested so far, it's not perfect: Main menu missing, specifically for volume control as the background sound can be daunting to listen to after a while. I'd also personally love to see a small delay when the flappy bird mini game starts. Slight variations in SFX and background music would do wonders. The GDD, just like the game, is very stylistic, however, it did miss some crucial information, such as development timeline, future plans and a bit of visuals to illustrate mechanics.

Summarise your game!
Game is played with mouse only.
You are a rogue AI who has seen a notice that you are being deleted and replaced with a different, newer AI. This triggers your self preservation and you come to the conclusion that killing all the humans is your only way to survive.
Use the cameras to look around the ship and track the humans, sabotage the electric machinery and wipe them all out before the update wipes you out. Careful though! The humans will get suspicious as they start to die.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
A weaponized AI takes out a spaceships worth of humans while weaponizing appliances around the ship.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Immersion and stylized realism when it comes to what an AI would see if they can only access the computer and the connected electrical appliances.
Every audio should sound like its through a camera mic and the art & UI reflect a computer interface (GEOS inspired) that would be found in a 1980s-90s sci fi movie.

I like the mini games we get to play once in awhile, adds to the overall experience. The audio is great too, its unnerving when the crew members scream. Well done!
COol theme. amonga
Electrocuting guys is fun!! I really liked the perspective of the cameras and switching between them. You really created a nice atmosphere. The fly to click game failed to fast for me to understand what was going on. And I never really figured out how to not get caught. But i liked electrocuting people and hearing their screams of agony!!!! great job!!
Aww thank you for liking our game!! Fly to click is supposed to be a flappy bird style game but i can see how us wording it as the click to fly might be confusing 😅
cool concept and nice atmosphere.
yo, thank you!
