Really fun and entertaining game! I love the voice acting and the premise! I think the mechanics and gameplay are simple in concept but really fun and engaging in practice, especially if you decide to try and read the lines out IRL while managing the cameras and rotating the products. I’d love to see how this concept could be expanded on in the future. Really awesome stuff, nice work!

Really well executed idea. the item interaction worked really well until the mushrooms broke everything. didn't realize at first I could choose with the teleprompter since my scroll wheel is broken

I REALLY liked this one.  I wasn't expecting "ghost qvc", extremely creative.  

You aced the concept and the interactivity, the tutorial was stellar and well explained, and voice acting is always impressive in a jam.  I actually got a bit spooked when ghostly things started happening

these arent really downsides because honestly I think for a jam this was solid but: 

  • I thought putting things  down was confusing a bit ( i dont think the tutorial called out placing things with e)
  • After the first gamesphere round I kind of.. lost interest? The ghost wasn't really interacting with my cameras so the "challenge" dissipated

overall though, this feels like a really interesting "streamer bait" game in its infancy stages, I can picture a "bigger" version with audio/video playback for the user and more paranormal entities. Great work.

Thank you for the comments, we're so happy you enjoyed it <3

  • Placement was definitely not tutorialised or polished, sorry. It would be a definite focus area, since the game would benefit from letting you create a specific scene for the cameras.
  • We went for 3 missions initially, and the last two missions were very much just a "can we make some more fun things with what we've already got?", crammed in on the last half-day. That's why the voice line is just "Next up, we have..."

super neat idea, basically making the player recreate old infomercials, very cool! I do wish there was some music and i could throw things around though.
