Hello there !
For this jam version, we think the game is too punishing: the chaser catches you easily, especially if you don’t use any items to improve your escape comfort.
We’re looking to offer a real challenge if you decide to play without items. Items are not available at the start of the game: they’re only unlocked when you find them on your first escape, on the map.
If you’d like to take the time to give us your feedback, we could test your game to do the same (if you haven’t already, as we regularly test your games). Because given the number of submissions, we won’t be able to test them all simply from the main game list.
Thanks in advance for all your hard work!
