Nice game jam entry! 👏🏻

As others say, the speed needs to be increased. I liked the sounds and the idea of looking for a gas canister

Well done! filesize is great! Beside the speed (which as mentioned is tricky to not make people sick) I liked it, Lots going on and you still nailed the performance, I didn't find the gas can :/  but still had a good time mooching around, The .SFX (Non spoiler) made jump and I was nervously looking around for a while :)

Great Job!

Let's start with the good!

  • Environment - I really enjoyed the look of this game. A beautiful low poly world to run around and explore, with a ton of particle effects to make it feel alive.
  • Performance - With all the particle effects flying around in the scene, I was expecting my framerates to drop, but to my surprise, they stayed strong! You've definitely put together your objects and particle effects in an efficient way.
  • Day/Night cycle - Although it wasn't smooth, there appeared to be a possible day night cycle which was a surprise.

Shrimple Improvements in the Future!

  • Audio  - I loved the whispers being used, but they became repetitive after a bit. I think using the whispers sparingly and maybe added some sounds for the sprinkles in the field would produce a more immersive experience.
  • Speed Kills - The player movement in this is very slow for how big the space is. It's rough in VR, because if player speed is too fast, then you induce motion sickness. I would either increase the speed to the limits of what may cause a player to feel motion sickness, or reduce the map size so the player doesn't have to move as far... or add teleporting.

Overall, this is spooky and a fun environment to walk around in. It runs smoothly and there is only one major hiccup which is the movement speed. Great submission! Thank you so much for participating!

Thank you for everything :) Please don't let the jam be from Halloween to Halloween, let its number increase 🥳🥳

Great looking game, and the torchlight was really well done.

The main obvious issue with it was the movement speed. It took ages to get the greenhouse and when I was walking back with my gas canister, it disappeared!

Seemed like there was a day/night thing with the shadows, but the confusing part was that the sky was always dark, so unsure if this was a shadow effect, or a day/night cycle thing.

Still, overall it was an enjoyable experience and the look and feel of it was really spooky. However, the movement was so slow it made it very time consuming to play.

Thank you for playing and for your criticisms :) Actually I forget about sky material 😂😂

When I first saw your .rar filesize, I was confused as to how much game you'd be able to fit into those 32mb.  I was pleasantly surprised to explore your low poly world.  I liked being able to go upstairs, (even if unnecessary), I liked the flashlight, I liked the susurration sound effects, made scarier with that one line (no spoilers!).

I would have liked the locomotion speed to be higher, and found the lighting outside brighter than indoors, until I approached the greenhouse, where it became dark again?  After finding the gas can, I returned to the starting point, but wasn't sure how to proceed.

Spooky!  Nice job!
