Those camera zoom ins were some great juice adition, love it. I'm gonna have to learn how to do that with character portraits.
Yeah! I wish I had gotten to it earlier in the process so I could have done more with it. I found that swaying the walkie talkie also made it feel almost 3D so it was a good combination of a little of little touches. Going to reuse this next game jam!
Really liked the art style and voice acting, amazing job on that!
Thanks so much for playing! May the company uptime percentage stay high!
i like it
Thanks so much for playing!!!
loved the green style!
the ending as well
Thanks so much! Looking back, I should have started with the ending and worked backwards but now I know.
Really cool art style, and I liked the indications by voice !
Thanks!!!
The dark atmosphere and the voice on the radio really help sell the seriousness of the situation.
HP goes down so quickly that I haven’t made it very far yet, but I like how that turns confronting the danger into a strong motivation to keep going.
Thank you soooooo much for playing my game! I definitely struggled with how fast the HP would go down. I had a whole explanation that there were eldritch shadow creatures that were in every corner down there but never got to implement it. So I settled on the lantern being your best way to through the game. I think there's just enough kerosene to get you through the game. The radio was a last minute addition so I'm glad I was able to put those in there at the 11th hour at like 4am lolllll
awesome visual styl
Thanks! May the Railways guide you.
Nice fun game! Love the artstyle :D only thing is it kept freezing in browser when needing to press space to restart or at the end of the game. Love the voice acting!
I'll do more voice acting my next game! Thank you for all the kind words! I never tested it in the browser prior to uploading so lesson learned there.
I really like you art, and you did voices too ! Impressing in 3 days.
Yeah I got the idea to do voices at the very last few hours. It somehow came together! Thanks for playing! The company thanks you!
Nice art bro it looks like a real game
The company thanks you.
For the Company! xD
May the Railway always be in service.
I like the concept and art style but I would really like to see character walking animations too :D
Yeah! I WOULD LOVE THAT TOO LOLLL. I had a completely different game in mind but the time limit made me cut scope! Including the walking. Next time ; – ; Thanks so much for playing my game!
No problem, I didn't made that in my game too XD. I hope you will got high rated ;)
Great use of a limited color palette. Had a couple of bugs, unfortunately. The Linux version wouldn't boot and the browser version sent me out of bounds with no way to get back at one point, and hitting space didn't restart either. Had no problems the next time through though. VA was a nice touch!
Oh no! I think the linux version just went borked at the last minute. Thanks for playing! The company appreciates your sacrifice.
Instructions unclear, i tried to sacrifice myself but an entity started dancing with me. Should i report that?
Loved the art style and the VA! The music reminds me of Baby Steps!
Thanks so much!!! Please send a memo to management before your sacrifice.
Such a cool idea to turn out the light to save fuel but consume HP, i think the limitation was very much well implemented, i love the voice over the radio that was an great idea.
Thanks for playing!!!!!! Yeah I stumbled upon the lantern and HP combo when I ran out of time and I just ran with it lolllll
The art and dialog is great, though unless I missed it there was no indication of how to toggle the light, I only found out after it told me when it ran out right before the end.
Thanks for playing! Means so much to me. I also just realized that! I hope your service went great.
I loved the art style and dialog! Very polished game!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING! MAY THE RAILWAY ALWAYS BE IN SERVICE.
great concept, but before I could understand what was going on I died, but the artstyle is neat
Press space to go back to work. Your sacrifice is much appreciated. Thank you, WRS.
