Incredible as always! Great colors, and the choices felt really good, loved going through the story and getting into weird situations, loved the checkpoint system on this one too!

Creepy atmosphere, great art-style and fitting audio.
Overall a good entry. The immersion in this one is insane! I played all endings because I didn't want to miss any :) (Not going to spoil anything)
The best thing about this is the art-style. It captures the atmosphere super good! Keep it up.
One point of criticism: I didn't like the "voice-over" effect. In my opinion it gets repetitive way to fast. A simple boop-beep effect would be better here. But I do like that the different characters had different sound effects! Nice detail.

BugfestationYour art style is really cool. I've played some vn at game jams before not a lot, but compared to them even though your story is the shortest, your writing and presentation are the best. Great job!

Lone SteelThis is awesome, love the art and the colours, and the insectoid base looks so sick through the binoculars. I too am stuck on the password bit, the info the girl gives me (she's cute btw) doesn't seem to help, I must be missing something. But it looks so cool when I'm eaten.

Scrappy Morrison's CoolantsportYet another cool horror adventure !
Your artstyle is always a treat dude and i really like the bizarre worlds you come up with in your stories ^^
Not sure if this is unfinished due to time, if it was done on purpose to emphasize the horror aspect, or if i couldn’t figure out how to move on but i’ve had 2 different endings and the furthest i could go was the creepy Bug guard asking for the password and the only option i thought of that worked lead to a 3rd ending and my death :p
But regardless i had a good time, Well done Lemi :)

Steel Knights UprisingThank you so much Pixel can't wait to try your entry they are always so good! I think a lot of people are going to have trouble with the password section hahah! There is an option way back were you can make a call to base and that one can help clear some things up, just be ready to have pen and paper out !
Thanks for giving it a try non the less is always fun to see others enjoy the game!
No problem dude your entries are always cool and i’m always curious to see where the story is gonna go ^^
Haha well the password thing is quite unexpected so i’m sure i’m not the oly one who’s gonna get caught off guard, interesting clue though i’ll try that again to see if i can get past that guy XD
Oh that’s why :o ! Welp if it’s a bug i guess this count as noted for patching then ? :p
and if it’s just a matter of obligatory roadblock cause you didn’t have time during the jam to make what’s after that’s perfectly understandable ^^
EDIT : Ok scratch that i played the patch and got past the password and managed to explore the other endings, won’t spoil them so that people will experience it for themselves but it is really cool :)
This was an amazing experience!
Atmosphere was incredibly well built, art was great, music fitted perfectly, the way it was written worked amazing and I was able to feel the horror as it was planned. I really like this kind of horror, even more when it touches cosmic elements. All in all, this game is worth to play!
I have to say that I got stucked when the monster asked me for a password. I'm not very experimented into visual novels, so I don't know if there was something I could do. I tried to go back and find more clues, but it didn't work. Some of what I found was contradictory, so I don't know if it was part of the design or just missing information.
Thank you so much for giving my game a try! I will give you a hint on how to get past that last part, there is an option to get in contact with base and maybe they can give you some help on the matter!
And thanks for giving it a try even though VN are not the thing you usually try that really makes me happy!
