Love the atmosphere made through lack of information provided. Theres something really chilling and cool about the ending! Loved it, great game!
really good game! liked the idea
Love what nice polish you brought to your game in the small frame of time given by the jams.
Congratulations on submitting your first game jam ever!
Keep up the good work!
Interesting game with a chilling twist. The pay-off is worth the wait.
The game is really good, playing in the web version did have some errors with the mouse and the camera movement but overall good job.
Cool horror game, reminds me of other "limited space games" like Iron Lung or Descending. Very intriguing concept. In web version I had some problems with camera rotations, not unplayable though. Good game. Good job!
Honestly thank you so much for this comment. I am replying super late because I've been working on other stuff but when you made that I looked up those titles I honestly wasnt aware of them before! It is super cool that other people have made stuff like this I wanted to make something really weird/niche on purpose. Thank you for your time playing and your compliment.
I have read the itch page, and I gotta say the amount of work you put in those 10 days is astonishing… I really enjoyed the game and if you’d like to keep working on it, you should probably add achievements for replayability…
This was SO SO GOOD! The graphics, sounds and ambiance are perfect. I find the game idea very unique. The gift box was empty when I started but after a refresh it showed the manual :) really enjoyed it, finished the 10 days. Had some issues with the cursor but it was the browser's fault.
Wow thank you for the kind words! I appreciate you taking the time to play my game. Good shout about the gift box, I ran into that issue myself when testing but it doesnt happen consistently for ~some reason~ but thanks for the feedback that you got it to happen too! I'll add it to the KNOWN issues list!
Just like everyone else has stated, nice mood and general ambiance of this.
I said it in reply to another comment but thank you so much for that feedback! I really tried hard to make an atmospheric dystopian vibe go with the SFX and music and it is really thrilling to know that what I was going for is what people feel about the game! Thanks a million for taking the time out of your day to play my little game and leave such a nice note!
SUPER ATMOSPHERIC
THANK YOU. I really appreciate that specific feedback as atmosphere was one of my biggest goals because I cant make anything pretty. Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to play my little game.
I am honestly shocked that you don’t have prior experience making games. The quality of the the assets, the detailed atmosphere, and the underlying story are insanely impressive. Great job.
I messed around in RPGMaker and on Renpy before and even made like maybe half a RPG in RPGmaker and then a few VN scenes in RenPy but I have not ever finished anything. Definitely my first finished project though. Never even finished a full tutorial of how to make a specific game because I just got bored :') thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback and play my game. I really appreciate you having done that. I really tried to make something decent and presentable in the time I had available. Thank you so much for your compliments as well!
While it wasnt the most fun gameplay, I really got sucked in by the atmosphere and the simple task I had to do each day. I wanted to know more, I wanted to know what would happen at the end of those 10 days and, I wasnt disappointed. The last report was incredibly well made and made me ponder about my actions. Awesome game and great job WMContent!
Hey thanks! I went and played your game as well. Super interesting and stressful time management lol! I'm glad that you played to the end and wanted understand the game! That is amazing to hear that you enjoyed it. Yeah fun is something I hope I can address later in the dev process of fleshing this out a bit. I want to give people more levers to pull and more things to interact with to have meaningful decision making. Really good feedback!
Your welcome! Yes, giving th player more control or move stuff to do that interact with the provinces would be what is missing. Keep up the great work, you have a really nice concept <3
A really cool looking game. I love the simplicity of the set, adds to a real sense of eeriness.
Thanks for that! I screenshotted your comment and sent it to my friend who called it ugly lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to both play my game and leave a comment! And a nice one at that!
LESGOOOO FIRST FINISHED GAME EVER
