okay so I didn't give it a fair try by just jumping in without even reading the description.
but that was so cool. I got so lost in the beginning and it was a surreal experience. I understood that I needed to perform some jobs but it slowly got a little creepier and the tension was rising. And when I finally connected the bars to the different minigames i was in the god damn flow, running from device to device. It was a blast.
You probably could've made it way scarier and tenser with creppier music and SFX but honestly? Maybe you shouldn't? the unsettling visuals and rather steady music were a weird contrast. With the phone screaming and something trying to get out of the god damn cage it was tense and at the same time it kept me in some sort of weird flow
I really liked it and I honestly don't know why. Something here really works
My second favourite entry
I really like the atmosphere. The audio fit the mood, the visuals are nice, and the core idea of switching between multiple tasks that appear progressively is great. It creates a good sense of pressure and keeps the player engaged.
Unfortunately, it’s a bit hard to understand at the beginning. I was stuck for 5–6 minutes during the second mini-game because I didn’t realize I had to go back and replay the first one.
A few improvement ideas: in the first mini-game, auto-focusing the field would make it less tedious, since having to click on it every time is a bit annoying. In the second mini-game, the fact that you can still press keys after reaching 0% isn’t very clear. Maybe when a task reaches 0% (for all mini-games), the character could automatically leave the mini-game, like in the first or fifth one. That would feel more consistent and easier to understand.
Well done !
These are good ideas for improving the game experience. If I get around to making a major update, I'll definitely implement the fixes! 🛠️
Love the atmosphere and creepy visuals ! Congrats !
Feel free to test our game !
Really cool game, loved the atmosphere a lot and thought I would get jumpscared any second. Also very nice minigames and awesome artstyle in general!
I loved the aesthetics and the ambience! It’s got great potential, for sure. :) But like the friend below said, I also thought the Input Field felt a little weird. Still, really cool and interesting overall!
Very good looking game, along with the Sound Design: it makes for a good atmosphere. The Input Field was a little weird, for me.
Good stuff.
It was a little difficult to figure out what to do at first but once I understood, I quite liked the panic from doing basic math lol. I think this hits the mark of "strange places" too, the basement is pretty strange and creepy.
im seriously really impressed with this entry- it was very anxiety inducing, and it was a bit hard to figure out what to do initially. but once you get the hang of things its very hooking :) i'm yet to get an ending other than death LOL, but i'll definitely revisit this one to see if i can get anything different! very fun gameplay and thanks for getting me to sit down and do maths for like 8 minutes.
This part of the game did turn out to be too difficult. 😅 But I've added a hint to the game page. 💡
