Which Theme did you choose?

Dark Streets

How did you implement your chosen Theme in your game?
We implemented this theme by using bodycam footage in certain parts of the game. It was intended that these videos were taken inside the town of Milgram on the streets, and inside buildings. Also, we are a detective in this town trying to piece together what's happening by watching these tapes.

Did you implement any of your Theme's Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
1. They are in a town called Milgram and it takes place in it
2. The main character is a detective in the police department
3. We didn't really do that; the closest thing is when they get trapped in a room

Th pixelated look and the VHS was great for this game.  The UV light was a clever addition too.  Gameplay was really smooth.  Excellent work.

I really liked the whole VHS footage presentation and diegetic main menu with the tape. I assume "Fateful end" is the only scenario that's currently available?
This was solid, would really like to play a longer game like this, especially if there's an overarching story line between cases.

The visual style adds to the horror. The menu is impressive and faithful to the analog horror aesthetic. I liked the introduction too — it gives more detail about what happened.
