Good game! True, I don't know if I was the only one who had this problem or not, but it was very slow to move the mouse in the browser version, maybe something is wrong with the mouse sensitivity :(
But other than that it's not bad! The voice acting is good!
Really chilling atmosphere! Great voice acting and the sfx really immersed me into the game and had me questioning my existence the whole time! Definitely got spooked more then once, Great job guys
I liked the backroom-esque map design and the effects added during the sanity loss.
Good work with the voice over.
Hee-ho. Cool atmosphere and vibe. For my opinion, monster isn't really scary, because it doesn't harm you. And I had an issue with elevator card, it disappeared from my hand and could not leave
Hey I remember you from the Brackey's jam, you always say hee-hoo in front of everything. Funny that we both chose this jam after.
Yeah the scary was focused less on the monster and more on the general slipping sanity & effects. When did the card disappear? I thought I had fixed a glitch with items deleting themselves.
Thanks for playin!
Wow! the atmosphere and effects were amazing. The disorientation made me more immersed and captured horror of being watched!
I liked the atmosphere and the voice over responding to things, but I couldn’t work out the controls. Playing on the web version I eventually managed to open the door (no idea how) but I was unable to pick anything up.
Looks like some decent work went into this game and others had better luck than me, good job!
Thanks, apologies if it would be finnicky (dunno why). Left click should open doors.
spooky!!! oh and the voiceover!! love how much went into this game considering it's for a game jam and it fits theme so well. Also the visual effects and randomly generated levels, all of it add so much to experience. COngrats on delivering it!
Damn, this game literally made me crap my pants! The way the effect of the main character losing his mind is done is just amazing. Every time an episode starts, I’m thinking, "Oh no, not this, not again." I really loved the game! I also want to highlight the voice acting — the way the character comments on what’s happening, especially during the episodes, is really well done. I found a screwdriver, pills, and a key card all in one spot on the map; not sure if that’s a bug or a feature. I think I picked everything up, but when I got back to the elevator, I couldn’t figure out how to switch between items. Did I do something wrong?
Thanks a bunch!
Well you got lucky and unlucky--since the map is procedurally generated, you can just find everything in the same spot rarely. That said, it appears the game has a bug that destroys items when you pick up one while holding one. Sorry, you deserved to win there but it ended up being softlocked. Because they allow two days for bug fixes, I am updating the game to fix this (it was one missing return false; statement). Sorry 'bout that!
the visuals were nice, the procedural generation is impressive though a lot of the rooms are empty or similar so i got a little lost LOL. I also didn't figure out how to carry more than one item, if there was a way. I picked up two badges for the elevator and a screw driver but couldn't open it, not realizing i didn't have the screwdriver anymore. the audio accompanying the scares is very nice, very eerie. great work, i'd love to see this expanded at all
i love the post proccess effect, it is cool
I got scared! The atmosphere was great, and although the process was intense, the game was fantastic!
Very fun! and very scary!
Was away from my keyboard for a few minutes. After I had returned, saw a scary thing in the game, then closed it.
Pretty neat game, I was actually pretty scared while playing, impressive!
Really scary and upsetting place to be great job lol! I had a hard time moving well, but it just made me more freaked out while playing lol
Woah this was actually scary guys! Loved the voiceover also
Loved the pixelation effect as I was losing me last remaining pieces of my minds, also the lighting and shadows made me a little paranoid during the game. Great job!
Oh my god that was absolutely terrifying. Fantastic work; the atmosphere was potrayed so effectively, I nearly jumped out of my seat.
Spooky little game. I enjoyed the setting and especially the sound design/voice acting, but the gameplay/movement was rather confusing. I think listing the controls somewhere could go a long way, but once I figured those out I enjoyed it :)
Understandable, thanks!
I did add a sprite when the game is paused that shows the basic controls, although it definitely isn't the most thorough explanation.
This has so much charm to it. I am curious if you can fail or if it is just a reset mechanic? Either way I made it to the end on my first go round and I would highly recommend everyone complete it for no other reason than to vibe with the music haha.
Thanks that's awesome!
I wanted to avoid the idea of the hard-Game-over as much as possible, and so getting KO'd will just set you back (originally going to teleport you randomly but I couldn't get the code to work in time). I made the music myself too.
