Wow, impressive! A complete game with a solid idea, all works smoothly and is fantastic. Comments, feedback and ideas for the next two jams (spoilers down, so if someone is reading this before playing, don’t continue, hehe):
-
Try to hide the “familiarity”, focus on subtle, suggestion, play with player expectations and then broke it in another direction. It´s very obvious that the protagonist is who he is and what he did. So, you need to cover it with a lot of reality. Maybe try to add some progression (a variable that, when reach a given number, changes the house a little, the texts and the reality begins to slide…).
-
Try to know about “Dissociative Amnesia”. Games like “Silent Hill. Shattered memories” play with this to create an absolutely brillant storytelling. This game has the potential to “play” with this idea until the final revelation…
Other minor aspects:
-
Visual. In the big bathroom, when going to the WC, the camera goes very low. At first I though that something happened there when the protagonist was a child… But nope.
-
Also visual. Some items and furniture scale need some correction. Or the camera is too low, I’m not sure.
-
Gameplay. A couple more of puzzles. The one in the game is too simple.
-
Controls. I have to play the game twice, because the first time I get stucked in the living room when the TV turned on… XDD
So… Great great game here. It need improvements, but it has a lot of potential. Congrats!
P.S.: Oh, and I remembered you from “Angry Pigs”. Also a great fantastic game :P
