This one is super impressive, and the puzzle design was really well done! Not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but still incredible you got this done in 2 weeks.
Thank you for playing! Yeah these were rough 2 weeks indeed.
Nice game BUT its too white and it hurts when you are playing it.
The #1 feature are probably blood textures heh
I enjoyed my time with the Tie. With the narration and the simple but effective look it draw me in. Definetly the game with the most "Unexpected" Factor this far for me.
Great submission! Well done!
Thank you for the kind words!
Big portal vibes! Love it!!
Very cool, very nice puzzles, reminds a lot The Bradwell Conspiracy
Never actually played The Bradwell Conspiracy but I'll give it a try. Thank you for playing, cheers!
The game has been updated:
- added Vsync option (disabled by default);
- added mouse sensitivity slider;
- fixed some janky audio triggers. Also, the player can no longer trigger audio when dead.
I loved the puzzles, the game is really well finished!
Glad you liked it, thank you for playing!
Well done ! A portal like with more unexpectedness
>A portal like with more unexpectedness
And no portals, of course!
I think this is a really neat game. The world/setting is well established very early on and holds a nice tense atmosphere from start to finish, without the need for overly shocking jumps or things of that nature. The tension grows toward the end and I felt you dealt with the final act really nicely. The visuals and applause as the player ascends the corridor before their ultimate fate was bizarre and enthralling.
I'd like to make special mention of the 'company logo' and it's use on all of the doors. That logo is excellent, communicating the theme beautifully before any words are even spoken.
In terms of unexpectedness, some of the puzzles did catch me off guard, in particular the money-path (which was also the one I thought had the best narration).
Very nice job :)
This game reminds me of the Turing test and Rewind. I enjoyed playing it very much but had to stop after the room with 3 cubes and a giant pillar in the middle. Couldn't handle the motion sickness, unfortunately.
Thank you for playing. Sorry you couldn't finish it. Perhaps we'll add a mouse sensitivity setting in an update or something, that will hopefully help with motion sickness.
I think this is my favourite so far
Nice! Thank you for playing.
Well. Amazing, but I've stuck
Well, completed. Great game. We got questions to you in discord channel. Please join if you can)
plz check out mine also and help me in ratings: https://itch.io/jam/unexpectedjam/rate/746820
mine too!!
ur game is really good... With unexpectedness in it.... Enjoyed a lot
Thank you!
You've made great into the theme. During the whole gameplay I felt little suspense, which effected in even better immersion.
Despite that there were few levels where I was performing some actions, that had desired effects, but I was not sure what exactly happened (for example level with 2 buttons and one cube).
Thank you for playing the game! The idea of that one is that traps destroy one another if you do everything correctly (the press stomping lasers etc.) But yeah, fair point, we definitely have some 90s game design going on in some of these levels and visual clues are not always clear.
First of all, I do love this game and I love this kind of games. The voice acting and the gameplay idea is really good. The visuals and sound effects is also pretty good. I don't know if I find this game unexpected in a unexpected game jam, but okay it was interesting and fun to play. Overall a really good jam game. Well done.
The only real issue I had, was that the game had a lot of screen tearing, and I would therefore have hoped to see a V-Sync option in the game. I would also have liked a bit of background music. But none of those things is an big issue.
Thank you! We'll probably add Vsync in an update soon - wanted to do that but we were short on time so we ended up forgetting about it.
Oh damn. You really play on the mystery of mechanics
Thank you for playing!
I'll tell you what - there's an even deeper mystery here.
There are a couple of places in the game where dying is "mandatory" and you cannot progress further without killing yourself. What if I tell you those mandatory deaths aren't that mandatory and you can actually beat the entire game without dying once?
I need to reply this game I guess!!
Fun game, I was having an audio issue when I played only to discover it was my PC. Wish I had known that in the beginning lol
Thank you for playing! Please let us know if you find any bugs with the game.
I really liked this one. It fits to the theme very well. Gameplay, level designs and puzzle designs is also nice. My favourite thing about this game is the abstract topic and environment. Good luck!
Thank you for playing the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Indeed, the narrative of the game is abstract. We intentionally never mention what kind of goods Tie industries produces or what the job you are being "interviewed" for actually is. Rather, the story is about corporate grind in general.
I got my Tie and now I'm happy!
