It's very unsettlingly curious for some reason...

I don't even like horror and yet, I sat there watch things rot one after another. Hmm...

This is indeed one of the games of all time.

I love the art style, I think there's a lot of potential there, and the experience itself was really confusing and I feel like I've played one of those LSD Simulator games but just died instantly lol.

I like the Doom-style controls, I think it fits the aesthetic nicely.

I feel like a horror/comedy game or similar to the PS1-like games from Chilla's Arts would fit this style and experience very nicely. Great Job!

Thanks a ton for the kind words I really appreciate it. Also thank you for playing my game!

A really ambitious start for a first 3D project. I wish the game was slightly more clear as what the objective is, but this is a foundation for great things to come! Congrats on your first 3D game!

Developer

Thanks!! I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for playing my game!

Interesting take on the theme, I am not a horror game fan (not sure what genre this game is), but I liked the 3D stuff and the good use of lightning and shadow.

I really like to see more people making 3D games and glad you made the steps into it and did a good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing the game, I tried my best and I think for a first 3d game it worked out relatively well.

The real hand is amazing work. I love horror games, and you really nailed the mood and setting with this submission.

Developer

Thank you that means a lot! The hand art was really fun to make. A friend said I should make the character left handed since I am left handed and I think somehow that adds to the creepy vibes.  Thanks for playing my game!

This is a cool concept for a game. I like the eerie vibes the game gives, the irl image of the arm and the creeepiness of just watching fruit rotting.

Thanks a ton!!! I appreciate your kind words and the fact you played my game!

I like 2d real hands in games) To be honest I didn't really enjoed by gameplay. There is nothing to do, or I didn't understand something. But I really liked the vibe - something creepy, also something deep, you know about current short-video/ai slop.

Developer

Appreciate the feedback and yeah controls are definitely a weak point. Thank you for playing my game!

Haha, super weird but in a good way. Can’t wait to see more of your games. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for playing I am glad you liked the weirdness.

I don't know why more games don't use real photos as sprites - I love that! I feel like this could be a great start to a creepy, surreal simulation game.

Developer

Thanks a ton I am excited to build it up more! Thanks for playing my game!

Hah, such a cool, weird, creepy idea for a game. Creates good atmosphere with only a couple parts, and it's just interesting to watch those time lapses in general. is there anything after the strawberry? did you make those time lapses yourself?

Developer (1 edit)

Nothing after that because i couldnt get good free to use time lapses that were also appropriate. I do plan on furthering this one after the jam is done! Thanks for playing!

the vibes and atmosphere are GREAT! Wish it was longer 😌

Developer(+1)

Thanks!!! Yeah I definitely want to make it longer after the jam. Glad you liked it thanks for playing!

Nice vibe and the overall style. Love the cutout hand, reminded me of good old games

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate you playing my game!

Very unsettling and eerie, I loved it! Unique idea too. Well done! I agree, mouse controls would be really nice here.

Developer

Thanks for playing, control suggestions noted!

Nice approach to 3D game and pretty unique idea.

Congratulations on your submission!

Developer

Good idea for capturing the mouse! I am glad you liked it it was a blast to make!
