A really fascinating story inspired by true events. I love the way you tied some subtle clues to the whole thing as you play, verrry clever. Thank you for teaching us on stream the fun facts about said event :3 it was a blast playing and learning all about it !

Thank you for coming into stream and watching me play. Y'all got my feedback in person. It was hauntingly beautiful, and I LOVE games with historical backgrounds and tie ins. The snow crunching was so satisfying. Kholod really relied on the sound design which was impeccable. I thoroughly enjoyed your work. Well done!

Submitted

Very atmospheric little walking simulator! I love how the snow flattens under the players feet and the dialogue screen is so well done. Great work!

OH WOW. This is one of my favorites entries of the jam. The atmosphere, the sounds, the story (and I haven't finished it yet) I'm bookmarking it for later when I have more time. I hope you get a high place in the jam so everyone can play this, here are my votes, Amazing job!

Really cool idea and very well executed. Nice job

Very well made experience. Loved the atmosphere and the retro graphics!

Loved the game! Thought it was a horror game at first but instead it's about very informative subject and took me by surprise! Highly recommend others checking it out

Submitted

Such a cool game with breathtaking mechanics. I loved the snow "physics", loved to sounds, and everything alike, you should be proud of what you made!

If you have time, plz check out and rate our game:) /jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3932793

The atmosphere, snow effects and vibes are perfect.

I almost looked at the spoiler but decided I'll come back when I have the time to do a proper playthrough.

Submitted

Wow this is by far the the best game i have seen in this jam it did everything perfectly. 10/10! 

Submitted

great game! most of the games for the jam went with a goofy vibe~ but this one was grim and I really liked that! Well done! 

Submitted

This was amazing... and chilling, one of my favorite submissions

Bro, this was a really immersive experience, this game is so atmospherical, congrats for that. I didn't about the original story, that's pretty sad. I loved the PSX style. I tried one time withou the spoiler and I failed, but I wanted to watch the ending so I tried again using your answers. Congrats for this game, really well made game, but if we don't use the answers is really difficult to beat the game, for example: I tried these answers: 

Question: What Can You hear? Answer: Explosion

Question: What do you feel? Answer: Fear

Question: Where are you? Answer: Turbines

Question: Who are you? Answer: Alexey.

But it's likely impossible to predict what the user can type in the keyboard, so it's normal. But are these answers a bit right?

I'm glad you liked it. Your answers are honestly REALLY good, this is where play testing could've helped immensely.

I have like 150 possible answers I check for and rate them on a different level, and somehow in all this mess I've got all spellings of Alexey except the one I should, lmao



For the rest - Explosion - completely reasonable, I just didn't have it, Fear was max points and Turbines is also reasonable but I would give it half points.
So you definitely should've gotten it!

Submitted

Yeah it's really difficult to try to predict exact typing from players, but you made a huge effort to it,  having 150 possible answers is wild! Congrats for that.!

Submitted

Okay this was kind of peak, this was just really well made not much I can say that needs improvement

I really like the weirdness of the whole game it's probably what I enjoy most about games especially horror (like) ones.

Submitted

I enjoyed the detective style approach. Going around, asking questions. Slowly learning the story. Then gets tested by the end.

I also love the snow physics. Making a path through it is both cool and useful when you get the test wrong.

But I couldn't see theme in the game.

And at the end, I didn't know if I was getting answers wrong or it was my bad spelling. But I didn't use that to rate it. As I am quite a bad speller at times. But is a thing to keep in mind.

But also, quite a rare genre to see as they usually take a lot of planning and time. So great job

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

 I've explained in the spoiler section on the game page how your answers are rated and what is my take on the theme, since I don't want any spoilers in the comments. Not figuring them out also kinda fits the real life events, since you never wake up, so don't worry, it's part of the experience :)

Submitted

Highly atmospheric and invites you to really ponder to solve the mystery. Great stuff!

Submitted

Really liked the atmosphere and totally loved the snow trail effect, it’s so subtle but it a really neat detail, the story is interesting, butt I found a bug when you respawn and go back to the note in the final room, it’s texture is not visible and you only get the final question and it “fails” you every time after, it’s like the scene is not being reset correctly maybe? Any ways, great game loved it!

Developer

I swear I tested for this like an hour before submitting. That's what last minute changes get you. Thank you for reporting this!

Submitted

neat game, GG

Submitted

Really great. That snow-trudging movement was absolutely perfect.
