love the feel of the world you created, art and SFX work cohesively to add to the world building so nice job there. the premise of the game seems really neat too love the idea of a turn based strategy game where you have to watch an alien species hunt you adds tension in a way that fits the world. however (and it could just be my lack of familiarity with this type of game) but i was completely confused on how to play it. My first playthrough i walked 5 steps then died then watched any enemy ai move then switched to another playable character only the camera showed a black screen. I had no idea what was going on so i think introducing the mechanics to the player via tutorial level, controls menu, cutscene etc would help a lot in that respect. That being said I really enjoyed the tense atmosphere you are able to create and the enemy models in particular work really well with everything else. I think your biggest problem was probably overscoping for a jam (as others have said) and that with more time you got have played with the pacing of the game more. great entry though, i enjoyed playing it! and thanks again for hosting!!

Thanks for the feedback and playing of course!
Like that you loved the feel and ambiance :-)!
You are totally right some more tutorial or guidance is needed for this kind of games. Lack of time, but shall take it into account for next game and jams to try to make one or better guidance.
I am glad you still enjoyed playing. One of the major goals of course that you have a little bit of fun.
Overscoping indeed. Maybe not the best genre for a game jam but I do like the genre and want to try it and know now I still have to learn a lot and these tips and feedback are therefore really valuable. Thanks again.
My pleasure to host the jam :-)! Hope you enjoyed it and learned also a lot of stuff and had fun!
