I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SCRAPING THE DATA!!! THIS MAKES US SO PROUD!!
The game's colors are too beautiful, and the atmosphere is done very well! Looking forward to the later subtitled version！
Thank you very much! We'll try our best :)
This game was absolutelly incredible. The spooky atmosphere is pristine and both the constantly changing environment AND the small footsteps scare early on both contribute to the game feeling VERY unpredictable and keeping you on edge at all times. I played quite a few horror games this jam and this might be the only one that genuinely scared me, the footsteps subtly putting the notion in my head this game *might* have jumpscares just kept me on edge at all times, and the lighting and liminality of the whole environment just exude a crazy aura of dread. The story is also incredible and the looping themes shine in every aspect of it from narrative to gameplay. Part of me kind of wishes there were subtitles, or a way to implement a similar system, as the phone calls were phenomenal but between the static and filter it was a little hard to understand at times, but I understand it might've caused some issues with immersion as this game relies on it greatly. Still, easily one of the best games I played this jam, what an absolute treat.
It's hard to put into words how great it feels to read your words, thank you very much for phrasing that and sending us a comment and feedback! :) It means more than you would know!
We do plan to release a patch after the jam to fix and add a couple of things, hopefully subtitles, too.
Wow! Incredible atmosphere, and visuals, so tense! Amazing work!
Thank you very much! :)
As others have said, the tension and the atmosphere are the stand-outs here. I'm afraid I only had time to play through the first loop, so here are a few thoughts from that:
Thank you for the feedback! :) And you pretty much saw the whole game once you completed the loop, we only had time for one, really, despite having plans to add more variation to each run. About your points:
Thank you again for the kind words and the feedback! :)
Really impressive environment and storytelling — I feel like there’s so much to learn from this!
Those are some big words - thank you so so much, it means a lot! :)
Dang I feel harrassed. Great game! Feels like scary movie vibe.
Hahahah thank you! :D
Loved how tension is built through the art style and sound, without the need of the usual jumpscares every corner. It's really immersive and it feels like being inside a weird dream.
Thank you very much! :)
I personally dislike jumpscares a lot, they take away from horror in a big way the way I see it, especially in mainstream horror. Jumpscares should be a byproduct of an already oppressive and immersive environment, rather than the cheap overused go-to-tool that they usually are sadly. If tension works well, the player can get scared by even the sound of a twig - then you don't need to use jumpscares at all haha
What a beautiful piece you have there, good job! I really like it!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed our work!
