Ranked from 32 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
A museum floating in a cosmic void with an uncanny curator that is even stranger than it looks, and unfortunately, no buses run here.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Zero AI-generated content was used; I utilized a few licensed 3D models and textures alongside standard tools like Cinemachine and DOTween, but all level design, mini-game visuals, mechanics, and the story were created from scratch by me during the jam.

Loved the atmosphere in the game, the sound for the ambience was almost hypnotic, 10/10 sound selection- it immediately pulled me in. Like others said the 2D mini-games in the painting were an amazing idea, but also the subtle humor was interesting as you kind of let down my defenses after reading "horror game." It felt like you had a lot of fun with this and the game just kept getting gradually more exciting to play from beginning to end. 

This was a great experience, well done!

Thanks for your comments. I had to finish the game quickly because Jam's submission deadline was approaching. However, I'm still working on it and polishing it. I hope I can create the game I envision :)

This is pretty much the definition of “strange places.” Waking up in a floating museum in the void is already a strong setup.

I really liked the idea of the mini-game paintings. Jumping into these crude, intentionally broken little experiences was a cool concept, and it made the whole museum feel unsettling in a creative way. The Curator character added a lot, too, and definitely gave off weird vibes from the start. And yeah… that ending jump scare got me good lol.

The story was actually really interesting, especially with the whole trapped-in-the-ink angle. I saw the “to be continued” at the end, and I genuinely hope you expand on it.

Nice entry to the jam!

Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm continuing to work on it and refine it. I have no experience in game development, but I hope I can manage to bring what I envision to life in the game :)

Really cool atmosphere, the music / ambient sound was very nice. The text was a little slow though for me though. Great work!

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I'll take your comments about the subtitle speed into consideration. Actually, the game has character voiceovers, but since they're AI-generated, I couldn't send them to Jam. Instead, I added them as subtitles. Apparently, I didn't polish them very well.
