Really like the aesthetic for this one, one of my favourites to come out of this game jam. Also very well polished for a 7-day project! Moreover, fun trivia for a gamer like me! (although I am embarrassed to admit I missed a bunch of them)

Nitpicking here but I do wish there were more elements to add to the intensity of the game (perhaps more audio or visual cues on certain triggers like getting the wrong answer).

interesting style in your game

Really liked the aesthetic going on here, and the whole soviet theme. The mouse indicator was much too dark in contrast to the darker colour scheme of the game, making it harder to see, but other than that the whole game was fluid, well polished and fun!

The soviet aesthetic allowed for some striking visuals, but I don't know that I was particularly horrified by the concept--maybe if I was more scared of communism.

Some of these games I've never actually played, but I have heard about and seen a little of before, so it was actually pretty enjoyable trying to guess them (dragon quest in particular--it was only once I saw the Slimy that it cinched for me).

The aesthetic choices were very polished and pretty unique, especially for this game jam! I wish it tied more into the actual gameplay though. I liked that you were able to control the character, but the controls were very wobbly and it felt like a missed opportunity to include more world building or other horror elements. Ultimately it feels a little disjointed, but I think with more time you could make something really unique and special!

I definitely wanted a lot more out of this game, because it set so much up at the beginning. It felt unnecessary to even give the player control in the 3d environment, and the movement effects were very heavy handed. It did set a good atmosphere when the player sits down and the trivia system felt nice, but the whole premise kinda begs to be explored more thematically.

the art direciton is rlly good. Gave it a five star rating would be great if you did the same :)

The art direction was spot on (visuals and audio) everything felt really cohesive. It was a short experience, but I can definitely see it growing and becoming more intricate

I like how polished it looks but I wish there was more gameplay. Good job nonetheless!

This is a really interesting concept for a trivia game! The Soviet atmosphere and theming really add to the uniqueness of the game. It's really cool you were able to set up the architecture of a robust quiz - having time limits, multiple choice, guess options and fail states. Adding background information about the games helps players learn a little as they go! There's plenty to build upon and maybe the next steps could be to find a balance between the time limit and internalising the information, and adding a gameplay loop to encourage replayability. 

Thanks for being a part of the Scream TV jam

Invokes a strong sense of atmosphere right off the bat. I just wish there was more to explore! I'd love to see the story line unfold if you plan on expanding this. Good work.

Although rather simple I really like level of polish this has and I could easily see this being expanded further.
