We thought so hard outside the box, our game is to take those things outside the box, and put them into a box.

Wow this game pleasantly surprised me! I was not sure what to expect, but was getting this eerie feeling while playing and when things started changing it made the game so much more interesting. The voice acting at the very end was a really nice touch and left the game with a to be continued which I loved.
In terms of gameplay I struggled a little with how dark it could become at times, but luckily the scanner was able to navigate, but too keep the area spooky but still be very dimly lit would be a nice touch.
P.S. the breakroom with y'alls little posters was so cute and a great little surprise.
Pretty cool idea, I also wish there was more in terms of gameplay, but it's not easy pulling this off by your lonesome in one month. Fullscreen didn't work for me, and the mouse was way too sensitive, but other than that I had fun. I like the UI art, especially the score screen. Good job!
Thank you for the feedback! We’re definitely taking note since couple of others have also commented on wanting more gameplay. We’re actually a two-person team, but yes, our schedules were particularly busy for March so we unfortunately didn’t have as much time as we wanted to dedicate.
That being said, we did have more ideas that we had to cut for time, But if we decide to develop this further, we definitely want to add those elements to enhance gameplay.
Noted on the bugs, thank you! Glad that you still had fun at least.
Thank you for playing!
This is a cool game with some interesting secrets. I find it also has a great athmosphere due to the music and art. Nice job!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you found some of the secrets; we really enjoy telling stories through the mechanics and the gameplay.
Happy to hear that the atmosphere we were going for came through as well.
Thanks for playing!
What a neat game! I enjoyed putting things in the box. There were a few things I didn't want to put in the box, but anything for the customer! Well done on the Jam!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed putting things in the box! Yes, the customers in this world are a bit...specific.
Thanks for playing!
Cool game! I wish there was more in terms of gameplay, but I liked the art and sound design.
Thank you! Happy to hear your feedback.
We had so many ideas for the gameplay that we parsed down for time, but we were able to include the core idea we wanted at least. I think if we end up expanding this game we'd be able to further polish up the gameplay loop and revisit some of the ideas that we had to temporarily shelve. (...pun not intended, but it's there!)
Thanks for playing!
