I loved the moody atmosphere and the artwork and animations were really good.

The story and gameplay were interesting although I did get stuck on one of the stages pushing the cage.

Great job!

I like your idea. It feels atmospheric and I like the creepy vibe that develops. I didn't get too far becaus I struggled a bit with the key binds - they feel a bit awkwardly placed, especially Ctrl for crouch. Sorry - I'm just too clumsy for those controls! Great idea though :)

Good job! The vibes of this game were amazing. Not sure if I  beat the game or not. After a cut-scene the game just went to  black, not sure if that was intentional, but fun none the less. The game would have done better with a small amount of extra UI as well. Well  done though!
This is the game I did the music for, feel free to check it out! /jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3779483

Accidentally fell out of the map, but the game was cool and had a nice story, which seems pretty unique for game jam games

This was definitely a nice story ! it's sad that I didn't understand why the big can would get at me when I approach the coffee table more or less, I tried different things but couldn't understand why I was caught? regardless, well done !

Thank you so much for trying our game out and for the praises. Our team is really glad you liked it despite the shortcomings. we unfortunately did not have enough time to polish the game and fix the bugs and were forced to cut a lot of content that would have made it more clear. We intend to release a more complete version with improvements, bug fixes and additional content after the jam ends.

The story and graphic elements was top notch. The introduction to the game was really good, but took me some time to understand that the light followed the mouse. 

Was a lot of bugs that took me out of the experience, finnicky climbing movements and walked trough a wall after pushing the chest/drawers into the game level. 

At the end the game crashed when the cat told me to stop running and needed to tell me something. And felt like it took to long to get back there to enjoy the rest of the game. 

But i can see that you worked hard on the story and artwork and good job to get this out in 4 days!

Very polished game! The art, animations and sound effects felt good. The story was also nice. I thought the gameplay itself was a bit lackluster,  but I don't think that was the focus of the game. Nicely done!
