I enjoyed the game
Innovation: what a good idea, trying to figure out how to fix the car mid-driving was really fun.
execution: The steps were simple yet fun. Having to drive the car while the AI is disabled is really good, I like it.
Polish: the 3d models were simple yet good, the game didn't have anybugs and it was fun to play.
You really can make horror games out of anything. XD
It triggered some nice childhood memories of how much i enjoyed discovering new and unique games.
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you giving it a try!
I didn't just give it a try, finished it and enjoyed driving the car for a few more miles 😊
play while sleep deprived for an experience enhancer. utterly surreal.
tense, nauseating, and fantastic. great job!!!
Gonna try this later. Thank you for playing!
Very cool puzzle game with a unique setting. I'm not sure if I just didn't solve the puzzle or not, but I wasn't able to brake after disabling the self-driving so I don't think I was able to win. I also didn't find the screwdriver for the emergency override. Nice submission
Thank you! I don't think you truly reached the ending. If you give it another try, here's two hints:
1. Listen for a noise about 10 seconds after self-driving turns off
2. Look to the right between the seats
Bing chilling.

I love the concept! It had me absolutely stressing sometimes but overall great atmosphere and vibe. Although the sensitivity might've been a tad bit too high but it kind added to the feeling of panic like when you frequently look around for help. You made a great game! Thank you for checking out Flesh Facility!
Don't high and drive lol. Thank you for playing!
So unique and cool! The vibe reminds me of Return of the Obra Dinn (except less morbid haha) and older games where you just have to figure it out. I keep dying but I keep trying because it's fun lol. Very nice.
Thank you for trying it out!
Innovation - Really unique take on the classic "escape room" games! I loved the stakes being so up and down - can't even count the amount of times I crashed because I didn't realize the car had switched to manual lol.
Execution -Very clean execution with this game. Those eureka moments of figuring out a puzzle really hit nicely! I think the game could have been elevated even further if there had been some kind of music playing - either diegetic music coming from the stereo or just a looping soundtrack in the background. It's shocking how much something as simple as stock music can shift the tone/mood of your game!
Polish - Really polished game, this one. I didn't run into any bugs and all of the sequences played out in a very logical (if tricky and sometimes confounding!) order.
Overall - I've always loved escape room games and this one hit everything just right. It used the very limited environment in unique ways and always kept me wondering where the next puzzle might appear from. Great job!
Thank you for the thoughtful breakdown! I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Definitely agree with music, that's something we cut.
I really enjoyed the game, I'd love to escape that crazy Tesla with a friend.
I thought everything was great, the visuals were excellent, I wish there was music playing on the car radio or something like that.
I was really looking forward to getting to my queue, and I finally got to experience this great game. Congratulations, keep developing and I hope to see more good puzzles like the ones you made.
Thanks I appreciate the feedback! We actually were going to implement a car radio that played like 3 different songs, but decided to cut it because of the limited time. If you got to the end though, you should've been rewarded with some music! Thanks for playing!
THE STREEESSS! I could not handle it, I jumped out the window.. :D very cool game
Please don't sue me but thanks for playing!
Nice game dude! I loved the manual and the auto-driving theme. Really nailed this one!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Really like the problem solving! I liked having to flip through the manual under stress haha.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love escape style games, but for the life of me I could not find the screwdriver!! Good job with this!
Hint: wait a little bit and you should hear something. Thank you for playing!
thanks for the hint! went back and figured it out! maybe instead of the subtle click sound, the AI voice could say what happened, or it could be on the screen.
Yeah fair, I appreciate the feedback!
This was an interesting game. Me being incredibly dumb wasn't prepared for what would happen when I rebooted the car to connect it to the internet. This is why I don't drive IRL LMAO.
Really cool concept and idea for a tiny story game would seriously love to see this expanded or like a co-op "Keep talking and nobody explodes" inspired version where one player has the manual to walk the other through solving it.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it. Out of curiosity, how far were you able to get? I didn't have a ton of play-testers, so I'm trying to gauge how hard the puzzle was.
Tbh my only issue was not being able to read the manual outside of the game, I think that would have helped me prepare. Sudden massive differences in "stress levels" of a puzzle get to me sometimes. Like if a lose condition suddenly appears with very little warning (I mean I should have expected this but for some reason I didn't ). I was still holding the manual when I disabled the computer system, which was incredibly dumb and it immediately threw me how quickly I ended up off the road. I could probably get further if I had another couple runs at the game, which I might try when I've rated some more of the games.
Yeah understandable! I actually intended players to lose a few times, because it's much faster to go through the steps once you know what to do. Ideally maybe the right solution would be more forgiving roads when autopilot disengages. I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback!
hahahs i like that sunset that folows me all ride, interesting game, love it
How do you know that you aren't the one following the sunset? 🤔 Thanks for playing!
hahahsh thats funn
