Damn, this is your first game ever! this is a really good one!
The atmosphere is really good, sound is great (Especially the robot intercom voice). I also really like how there are song inbetween the scary sounds on the radio, It makes for a nice time to take a break from the action. (I'm also pretty sure there is no end since I played this for like 30 minutes). Also this game is really goddamn scary. It was so stressfull everytime the lights went out, I almost got a heart attack. this is probably since I didn't know what to do at first and just ran around the room pushing every button.

And that brings me to my only feedback. I think a tutorial can help really wel. I know that everything is explained on the game page, but an in game tutorial is always better. And I know that a tutorial is a lot to ask for in a game jam, but this is more feedback for the future update of this game. And I'll be looking forward to that, if it ever happens.

Overall I really enjoyed this!

Great game, Keep it up♥

Hey Bullfrog!

Your comment made me kinda tear up :') Yes, this is actually my first game (even though it's totally unfinished) ever and I do really appreciate the sentiment and feedback! I am glad you took some time to listen to the music stations! Both stations I think are like 20-30 minute long loops of my own music (aside from one track on the like instrumental music channel which was just something really cool that I found on freesounds.org which is one of those early AI generated compositions).

I am glad you got to experience the events and that they actually did what they were supposed to -- STRESS... YOU... OUT!!!!

You are 100% correct though! I plan to continue this game after the Jam and really flesh it out so it can become an actual game. I really just ran out of time before I was able to incorporate the feedback system of the radio, computer, puzzles for the items, and the story elements I have all planned out -- got a little too ambitious so I had to drastically cut back and just get the game working. As it gets fleshed out, I definitely want to channel the anxiety of the unknown a la Iron Lung and Voices of the Void.

Definitely be sure to follow if you are interested because there is a lot more to come for Esoterica and future projects. This game jam really lit the fire under my butt to actually follow my passions!

Thanks again for your kind words and great feedback :D
