You definitely nailed the horror theme here. The logs you read about the breach and the fleshed-out (pun intended) level design add a lot of depth to the game. It's crazy to think this was made in a week! As a suggestion, I think it'd be great if the searchable boxes stood out a bit more, since I glossed over them a couple times thinking they were set dressing. Super fun and high quality game though.
thank you so much for playing man. I appreciate your feedback.
also, I thought the same thing about your game. The needle and thread mechanic was great, and I was thinking you did a pretty great job in a week. Good stuff.
Hotline Miami but the flesh is hungry and the body is weak
I like the idea of no savepoints but personally I got too frustrated after not having enough time to reload and dying... A good game concept though! Also idk if the compression artefacts in the soundtrack were intentional but I liked them... Crunchy noises
thank you so much for playing. I agree with you. I have an update planned to add checkpoints and hopefully that will help yo offset the difficulty a bit.
The game is very cool. I like the visuals and sound effects. The game is pretty difficult. I died so many times. Good job!
thank you for playing. I have an update planned that should include the checkpoint system.
Post - QA
Good game but mostly frustrating, player only have 1 HP and I struggled to get to the next room w/o being killed constantly by the tiny ones.
Good work on the game! It’ll be nice if the game is not 1 hit KO
Is a nice, well made environment game but assuming i have skill issue and mostly played dumbly. Safe to assume the no checkpoint is too brutal lol
currently working on a checkpoints system that didn't make it before the jam deadline. That should make the difficulty much more bearable since you will only have to clear 1 area at a time and not the entire level. Thank you for playing. I really appreciate it.
I LOVE THE NO CHECKPOINTS HOLY COW, FIVES ACROSS THE BOARD TED. I LOADED THE GAME AND OH MY GOD, IM SO HAPPY THAT THIS GAME WASN'T DOING JUMPSCARED, Thank you so much for that. I love everything about this game holy cow, I need to pick at your mind. THIS IS AWESOMESAUCE. Subsume is such a good name too. YOU MAD ETHIS IN AWEEK, WHAT>>>???
Everything about this game is awesome, The player characters speed, if you speed through the game you just die, if you go slow you will probably win, which helped the tension.
Only real feedback is its hard to tell what is interactable, perhaps if interactable glowed or something when the player was close to them to encourage them to walk around the room. God thank you for playing my game sorry it took me this long to play yours, didn't know it ran in browser. Solid Work. Win please
And its a gamemaker game oh my gosh
Perhaps there could be white or black sprites over the other rooms so that you didn't know the "safest" one till the door was open
If you havent played intravenous give it a looky, this is the genre of game I love and the game play is similar ton intravenous give it looky
I really appreciate you man. Hopefully this project goes on to bring a bit of joy to as many people as possible.
Dude it will, please I love this game so much I love the atmosphere, you did something crazy making this in game maker the flashlight is the coolest way to visualize a flashlight, the gun mechanic was so simple. Very fun. Atmos was everything. The realistic human scream was everything it needed to be. You are a talent, lemme know if you make something. I'll fuckin buy it.
I appreciate you my dude.
Me and what I assume to be the final boss killed each others at the same time, so I'll take that as a win. No checkpoints is very punishing. Combat, especially the boss was very fun and intense!
thanks for playing, yeah checkpoints are a universally wanted update. 😆
