I got past the second van section and found myself in a room with a character and that seemed to be as far as I could go. Finding the gas can was a good challenge. You also struck the right mood for a zombie game, sort of gray, gritty, and gruesome textures and sounds. Sure theres some jank, the score count didn't work on the second van section, but this is solid stuff. Nice fridge animation.

The fridge animation wasnt mine lol, i suck at animations,  thats the reason that i made the zombies statues ..

Pretty cool, having the different sections like that! It took me a while to realise, when driving the van, that I was supposed to hit the zombies/statues, rather than avoiding them, lol. I assume there's no way to win the bit after you get out of the van, lol? I killed all the enemies and looked round the whole level, tried interacting with the barrels scattered around. I liked the PS1-style graphics.

I have mixed feelings about you using ChatGPT for some of the code, but I've decided it's not the end of the world. It's worth learning how to properly design and code software without it though, lol.

Kinda late but there should be adialog that tells you to find a jerry can, when you do you need to get back to your van.

I played the game, really great job on the beginning of the game to build up narrative with broadcast, empty fridge helps to understand that main character must leave the home, probably could be place to make it more survival with some stomach mechanic. Giving hints with controls is really great.

I think it's cool game as first one, you have some intuition how to design game. Just matter of practicing with the next projects. Keep it up!

Thanks

"It's really janky and broken but at least i tried..."

probably don't say this on a game you have to download, else i may have downloaded it and tried kinda convinced me not to tbh

Developer

Yeah I didn't want people to say it so i did it, you can still give it a shot it's only around 5 to 15 minutes of gameplay.
