If you're still interested Version 1.1 is now available, I fixed the dialogue system and made other small improvements I didn't have time for before. I was able to improve the framerate a fair bit but, it's still not ideal. If I make it into a full game, I'll have to find a way to limit the number of enemies spawned in or finally learn C++ because of the pathfinding memory usage in Unreal. Thanks for the initial feedback that helped me to improve my game.

Very simple but good game with authentic late 90's point and click mystery game aesthetics, good luck with your future projects.
I am very, very, sorry for posting that I had an error before on this page because, it was an issue on my end and I should have looked into it closer. I deleted it as not to confuse anyone.
Good game, good use of lighting, it's dark but you can see enough to get around. I also appreciate that you took the time to make checkpoints. That being said I think there was an error with the last checkpoint, were when I respawned it looked like I had the key but, I didn't. Good luck with your future projects.
Good atmosphere and use of repetition to build tension like P.T. I think that maybe it's a little too repetitive though, it made me worried I was doing something wrong, at one point I went backwards and got trapped in a small room, don't know if that was supposed to happen. Pretty good for your first jam, good luck with your future projects.
You did a really good job presenting the story with fairly good cinematics and voice acting. It would have been nice if the gameplay were a bit better with things like a visualization of the bullets and checkpoints for each fight or at least get some health back. Good luck with your future projects.
Pretty good atmosphere, I like that you used loud mechanical ambient noise for a spooky environment, sorta like the evil dimension in silent hill. The game's well made, the only minor compliant is you should have raised the step height, so your feet get caught on things less. Good luck with your future projects.
Good art and an interesting world. Good puzzles on the train but, I feel like you could have done more with the junk clearing puzzle. There's a minor glitch on the keypad when you hit 9 or 0. Is the tarin going backwards the end? It just goes black. A fairly good game in general, good luck with your future projects.
