An oddly extremely immersive little jam game with some absolutely incredible art, dope music.  I'm kind of under-reporting how much I dig your style.  Your world feels strange, unique and sucked me in immediately.  Need more of your world pronto (huge compliment).  

You may not *feel* like you did a lot here but this is genuinely one of my fave entries in a jam ever? It just oozes your brain and I love it.

i liked: seeing my reflection, how fullscreening works, pointing my finger at the screen, i wanted to find a cave in the game pretty bad but didnt manage to find one...

i wasn’t able to flesh the inner game out very much which was disappointing - i’m glad it felt like there could be more to discover though! that was based on some ideas i’ve had in the back of my mind for a long time, i definitely want to expand on it someday…

thanks!

Really interesting game with a killer aesthetic! I really enjoyed the attention to detail in things like the TV powering on and off animations and the player’s face in the TV screen. I never got to a point where I was able to control something in the TV with WASD, and I’m not sure if that’s cause I missed something with the console, but either way the game is a very unique and cool experience. Nice work!

Developer

thanks!

ah a couple people have said that, i guess i didn't telegraph well enough what to do.  You can turn the NES on and off, but the TV has to be on channel 3

Ah I see! I went back to try it and it worked! In hindsight I probably should have tried something like that on the static channel my first playthrough. Walking around in the game really gave me vibes of playing old NES games at a young age and not knowing how to play, but wandering around and gazing in awe at what the game world looked like. Very surreal experience!

Really love how this looks. The handmade textures on the TV and console give it a super tactile, physical feel, and the monochrome “screen” art is strangely cozy and unsettling at the same time. The whole presentation feels like a little analog art piece sitting on a shelf rather than a typical jam game. Very distinctive style, great work.

Developer

thank you! art piece is definitely what i was going for haha

Hi! I played your game and wanted to share my thoughts.

I really liked the visual style, it genuinely stands out compared to everything else I have seen in the jam. The demonic character designs look awesome and very memorable. The backgrounds are also really well made, you can clearly see the attention to detail. The overall concept and idea of the game are interesting and feel very unique.

The only thing I struggled with was that sometimes it was not very clear what I was supposed to do. It can take a bit of time to fully understand how everything works.

Other than that, the game leaves a strong impression and feels very distinctive. Great work!

Developer

thank you! i know i was walking a fine line with the vagueness ha ha.  i'm glad to hear you liked the atmosphere!

Your submission looked incredible. Loved seeing my face in the powered off TV, really reminds me of real life.  Artwork was fantastic and weird,
