The level design in this game is so good. I love how most of the important areas are in the starting house; from the start of the game, you can see everywhere you need to go, but you just don't know how to get there yet. It was always really fun finding a way into a room that's been blocked off since the start of the game.

I like the single inventory slot, but I think it leads to some moments of backtracking that don't feel as engaging as other parts of the game. I think backtracking is an essential element of this style of adventure game, and it generally works really well in this game, but I think there should be something to increase tension when revisiting areas of the map.  Maybe zombies can increase in speed/damage/health whenever they get back up - which could make revisiting previous areas more exciting?

Also, the flashlight is really cool and spooky. The art style is also incredible - especially the zombie animations. I had a lot of fun with this game!

Wow ! Such a great game !! I loved every second of it. The ambiance, the gameplay, the difficulty. Everything was on point and very fun, 10/10. It was almost like I was in project Zomboid. Great job !

Hey, this is an awesome game. Funny story, my browser was dying so I thought this game was really framey and had a bad experience, but after restarting the entire browser and replayed it, I had a blast with it (it was sooo smooth). I will say, not the biggest fan of zombies not being able to die, but otherwise, I had a lot of fun with the atmosphere, it kept putting me on the edge of my seat. Great work on the game jam!

Wow this has a lot going on! ✨
There was quite a handful of systems and mechanics that works, really like the vibe and setting of the game, I'd suggest to reconsider having the zombies fully immortal and probably add some sort of heal mechanic, either a healing pick up or maybe when character is low health, give a small passive healing, that way players can always have a bit of chance to low health run the game, keeps the player on edge without punishing too much.
Other than that, really solid game, if you add more polish such as SFX and ambient noise, it'll definitely elevate this game to the next level, good job!

This is a very solid game! I like the limited vision, ala Project Zomboid. Took a while to figure out where everything was, but once I did it all clicked! It’s very “lock and key”, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The only real problem I had was that the collision on “dead” zombies was inconsistent in a way I can’t really figure out? Sometimes I’d get trapped by a corpse and just have to wait for it to get back up and try to kill it in a better position, while other times I could just walk through. Oh! Also, I want to ask, do the loading zones actually load other scenes, or do they just teleport the player? I’m curious!

Submitted

Oh, forgot to mention the sound cues for when zombies attack are very helpful. A little jumpscare that gives you the chance to react and protect yourself!

Developer

Oh that's interesting, I did quite a bit of testing on them and didn't notice anything like that. I have noticed that some people have a bug where if you are standing on a zombie when it revives it can bug out their attacks but moving away usually fixes that. I've also noticed that some web browsers will have some bugs that others don't.
And it's teleportation :)

Really nice take on the theme, and super well implemented. I really liked it. My one criticism is it is a little too punishing, resetting the whole game when you die, and while I didn't dislike the stamina mechanic, I thought it just ran out too fast. But otherwise, I thought it was very good!

Submitted(+1)

i liked this. didnt finish it because the 1 item inventory meant walking back and forth which i found a bit tedious, especially since its already fetch-questy. but i think thats just personal taste. it feels nice, the pixel art is pretty, and i even got jumpscared which i didnt expect lol. well done, felt like a complete game

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, can totally see how it's not for everybody. I appreciate you taking the time to play it and giving feedback regardless

Great work! I managed to escape and really liked how dicey it felt being so low on ammo and trying to avoid the zombies, I really appreciated that you could outrun them. Echoing some other comments, some buttons could have done double duty, also would have loved gamepad support (it’s super easy to add, mainly just adding the inputs with a little extra work to the stick to aim instead). Overall, this was a nice, tight experience.

Developer

Thank you! Will keep gamepad support in mind for next time! Easy to implement but also easy to forget when you don't have one and are focused on the game jam.haha. Will try to remember this one

really liked the game, very polished and has a pretty pixel art.

Really fun game, but some controls feel extremly unecesarry, like you use E to pick up the key, and then you need another key (F) to open the door, similarly you need a special key to melee when it could have been tied to a mouse; well atleast you can view them/get reminded quickly on what each key does… overall the game reminded me of project zomboid, especially when I got jumpscared by a zombie, I just wish there was a bit of variety on how they looked :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! That is a fair critique :)

Submitted(+1)

Amazingly fun game. ALthough really hard. I’ve been playing far longer than I should have and still cant get very far haha

Love the fact the zombies are only visible in the light. I need to learn how to do that for my own games

Great game! Melee is quite hard to aim, but overall, it's really good! 

Submitted(+1)

Got geninually scared, great job!. It would be nice to have some kind of melee indicator like the one used to aim.

Submitted(+1)

It was super fun to explore the house and try to find the different items.  The zombies scared me every time lol. Really good game

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! We were aiming for the spooky vibe, so great to hear that came across

Very nice! It kinda reminds me of a zombie game I played on Roblox when I was little, I forgot its name, though :)

Submitted(+1)

I am normally not a fan of zombie games, but this one I like. Maybe it was the growl of the zombies when they got close to you.

Well done!

I may not be a fan of One inventory slot in resource survivor horror game, but this isn't so bad. I couldn't complete the objective for some reason. I collected 6 fuses and then I can't interact with the vehicle, I'm not sure if the condition is 'Equal' or 'Greater than or Equal' but i think it shouldn't disallow having the exceeded amount.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and for taking the time to make it all the way to the end. You are absolutely right about that bug, I apologize! Some extra fuses were added around the map as some were a bit tricky to find, I must have missed that condition when testing the win condition. Thank you for raising this one

Nice game, love how you can only see in front of you! Could use more inventory space but very fun!
