Words cannot explain how happy I am to make it outside the map after the new update blocking off all previous routes to leave the map.

Wonderful game, super clean gameplay, amazing art. Probably one of the best games I played in this jam. You can totally expand this and make full release

Probably my favorite game in this jam. It's absolutely insane that a game like this was created in a span of one week. Had a lot of fun just digging around. I will agree with the others, some quiet music would have been nice to make the long digging sections more engaging (I turned on some anime to watch on the side as background noise tbh because it was just too quiet). But overall it was a great experience, each jumpscre took me by surprise and reminded me that this was a horror game after all. I also really like how the upgrade-progression feels, it seems that you can find the perfect amount of items to buy upgrades each time you go back up. Really great overall, well done!

This game is genuinely peak. Amazing art, Nice upgrade system that was worth going back to. The core mechanic while not unique was well polished, and the twist was enough to make it standout. Theme was well implemented. Atmosphere top tier. The only thing I can critique is that game could have used music at some points, and maybe there should have been a light upgrade. But overall, well done!

Thanks heaps for the kind words. This is our first proper attempt at a horror game, so to hear we managed to do well is such great feedback.

I definitely agree that music would have really added to the game. Audio has typically been our weakest link, but we're steadily improving, and to hear that the atmosphere was great means we're moving in the right direction! Huge thanks for playing our game and organising this Jam!

Wow this is one of the best game jam games I have ever played!! I loved everything from the elevator music, the fact that I could just dig for the love of digging, I loved all the weird artifacts, I loved the vibes! I LOVED THE SECRET DOWN BELOW! Thank god for the elevators and thank god for those sodas because THIS GIRL WANTED TO DIG. Don't tell Big Shovel about this game we don't want them getting any ideas!! Amazing work!

Truly amazing atmosphere that you were able to achieve with this! The progression was good as well and everything was really immersive.

I don't know if it was just my settings, but sometimes the sound effects could get a bit loud. Not a dealbreaker, but just enough to be noticed.

Otherwise, great job, and congratulations on finishing the jam!

Thanks so much! I'm sure our artists will be thrilled to hear that the atmosphere was great, they spent a lot of time honing that in.
Good point with the loud sfx, we will pay more attention to equalising all of them in the future and adjust these ones after the jam is done.

You guys make reaaaal hard to find critique here... I think in a longer release you could up the prices or give me more to upgrade? but this was more than sastisfactory, the grapple is insanely fun, and i wish i had something to do with it, maybe break up some sections with some platforming elements? only critique is the music! there isn't really any, and i kinda wish there was at least a muted track for when i'm digging to help carry me to the next story or gameplay beat.

This is phenomenal honestly, and you guys should be incredibly proud of what you've made here.

I really like the atmosphere and the tutorial at the beginning , it makes it easy to lern how to use the mechanics. You seem like a great team to achieve all of this in just one week. Great job!
