  • It looks great! Unfortunately, after trying both Oculus Link, and Vive I wasn't able to get the character to move.

I tried the teleport version since I couldn't move (HTC Vive).

Cool game, but with teleport you're way too fast that the monsters could get dangerous.
The atmosphere felt great! The happy credits scene was fun too :D

Developer

Hi Fatderda,

We did notice the teleportation was a bit quick just to evade then enemies while exploring! I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I'm starting to think no one saw our Game of Thrones water bottle bit we tried at the end on the window sill. :/

There's quite a lot of content here for a game developed in only 7 days, well done. I like the gameplay, visuals and the concept as a whole. I featured it in my top VR jam games of 2020. Best of luck with the judging:

Thank you so much for playing! Can't wait to show you what we do next! Great Videos! Side Quest looks like an interesting place to poke around in!

Unfortunately, couldn't get this one to work on my Rift. The version above left me without locomotion or teleportation controls... the "teleportation" version (Google Drive) would either crash or hang up on the main menu each time. What I did see of the main level looked really promising though! Love the simple but tasteful use of lighting to really set the mood.

Would appreciate if you have time to check out my team's submission. Thanks!

Developer

Hi Skies!

I'm sorry to hear you were having trouble with the game. I did download it from the link and it seemed okay. Have you tried redownloading it? Sometimes a fresh copy always does the trick!

This looked neat but it was a little basic. I feel like I recognize these assets lol. But overall good job, I felt the atmosphere and I was pretty scared.

Developer

Thanks! These were the assets the cool kids were using! :P

Glad you enjoyed it! 


P.S Cool name.  I read it. Then reread it again and was like...nice... 

Submitted

I'm gonna use these assets at some point, I think I got them off humble!

Developer

they're great! Got mine off the asset store before the went on sale =0

Hey this is neat! And spooky. In fact I think it's almost the only spooky game I've tried and seen in the submissions? Love it! Well done for sure.. Are you gonna add more to it after the Jam?

Check out mine too below when you get a chance :D

Developer

Hey FOV,


Love the username! Thank you for checking out the game! Spooky is definitely what we were looking for. The lantern dying is so abrupt lol!

It would really depend on if it was being played. I didn't see a link to your game! I'd love to try it!  

Submitted

Nice one! The links appear underneath any comment we make. But here's another link as well to get you there: https://itch.io/jam/vr-jam-2020/rate/636989

Developer

Ah! Didn't notice that at first. I'll check it out!


Thanks!

HTC Vive User here: The scene has nice lighting and I found a friend who loves fire just like me!

Cant move with all my buttons but looks AMAZING. 5 star rating sent! It was sure a lot work!

While you are here I've played yours, so please check my game out in the button below.

Developer

Hi Macchi,

I'm sorry to hear you were having trouble with the controls but glad you enjoyed the game!

You've got one of the coolest games! Great Job!

Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked it so much! I hope others think the same :)

I was really looking forward to trying this one, but I'm having the same issue as with a few games on here. Snap turning works fine but teleport doesn't. Unity+SteamVR on Oculus CV1 seems to have some mapping issues. I've tried your created config and tried making my own but unfortunately have not managed to get it to work. SteamVR is reading inputs fine in the calibration area, but not some controls in game. 

Looks excellent though!

Developer

Thank you for showing an interest in our game! Since you do not have analog sticks  your only option would be Teleport. Let me see if I can get teleport working and ill reply to your comment again! =]

Submitted

It's touch controllers, so there is analogue sticks (and turning works with sticks fine). I tried to map teleport to just the "A" button and it still didn't work. Perhaps it's tied to the guardian system (I have that turned off). I appreciate you looking into it. :)

We've added a link to the "teleport" build you can try! We hope this works as we want you to try our game! Hope this helps! =)

It worked! Thanks very much for taking the time to sort that.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere and tension, a strong feeling of desperation to get to the next light. Sound design was really good as well. Great job!

Developer

I'm so happy to hear that! I would have liked to make the teleport a bit cleaner and maybe change the colors but I wanted to get it out to you as soon as possible! Thank you for playing! =D
