I do love horror  games this one did a great job in that concept congrats on your  rank

Cool horror game concept. Really liked the idea of getting snapshots or glimpses to a strange place. My only critique would be that the buttons have no real texture and kinda not fit to rest of the really good designed world. Otherwise Great work :)

Very cool game, congratz!

Really weird (in a good way).

Brilliant horror game!

Such great story telling! I panicked XD

Omg this was maybe my favorite game of the jam. Holy shit I was so scared haha. Really nice detail with the man being on the first image of the lava planet and not being there the second time it showed up. Great story. All 5s from me, damn

This is an incredible concept for a story, and it's executed really well, given the short runtime & jam timeframe! It's a 5/5 for both the theme and the enjoyment. Awesome game!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! I would've loved to add more worlds to explore or ways to interact with the objects, but I was running out of time so I kept it short.

Brilliant! I truly panicked at the end. Smashing that button. Very good. Gave me Carbon Steel vibes.

The guy who made Carbon Steel is definitely one of my inspirations! Thanks for playing.

This is amazing man, really fitting the theme. The tension was so palpable o.o

Thanks for the comment! I really liked this theme since you could interpret "strange places" in so many different ways.

Oh my lord, this was so good to play! But maybe you should have made it impossible to walk behind the console so that your back constantly faces the portal.  That would make it even more creepy. Besides that the game is such a blast to play for around 10 minutes :D

Developer(+1)

That's an interesting idea! I never really considered that you could just hang out behind the console haha.
