This game tackles the exploration horror fairly well. There's a lot of twists and turns, unique scares, and discoveries to find. It's clear you put a lot of thought into how to craft a good scare. I think you've done well with the aesthetics and playing with the amber colour / B&W with a grainy filter creates a great effect for horror. Really look forward to seeing what you do with this in the future!
Thanks for submitting ECHO to the SCREAM MACHINE jam!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. I’ve always wanted to create a PT style game while adding on a unique twist, this jam was then perfect way to achieve that! Looking forward to the next scream jam :)
There is a lot here for one dev, nice work. There are some small graphical glitches, and you can almost always tell the doors that will open by the shape of the wall. The lighting is a little extreme ocassionally when the lighter is on. But it definitely captures the Layers of Fear and PT vibe and has a nice variety of things to experience. Nice work.
Thanks! In the 10 day limit for the jam it made it hard to adjust the lighting to be perfect and same with doors. In future projects everything will be much more polished. Glad you enjoyed!
This was a lot longer than I expected it to be! Kudos on getting all this done solo. This definitely gave me a few genuine scares. I managed to get through the minigames (after some do overs. Including one time where the monster spawned right outside the start door) but I just wanted to add I really appreciate you adding the option to skip them regardless. I would've loved to see more of the story, just to understand what's going on more.
That menu music is incredibly familiar, did you pull it from something? I was thinking maybe Silent Hill, possibly specifically 3.
glad to hear you enjoyed!! I am 3/4 happy with how it came out in the 10 day limit. But yes I found them menu music on YouTube as royalty free, I forgot what the name of it’s was. But I didn’t make it myself. Glad you enjoyed tho ! :)
I had much fun playing this game. I havent managed to complete the minigames because the monster was so fast that it always caught me. Thanks to the option to skip the minigames, I was still able to play through the game. The monster looks very scary. I think i cant sleep this night ;-) .
glad to hear you enjoyed! Oh really? I set the speed of the monster to be much slower than the player, confusing. But for a 10 day Jam game I hope the game was good! :)
