Amazing game. It was short, simple, and sweet! Charging a car and having people come up to you is quite original. The different scenery was nice. The SFX and UI were decent. Now to the bad stuff. I feel like you shouldn't need to look at the car for it to cool down. I understand the need for a mechanic like this, but I don't think this was the proper explanation. I think a little tutorial would have been good. Like a tiny slideshow with 5 screens. Lastly the bar for the charge is quite hard to see. 6.7/10, I don't like stress.

This game is genius. At first I thought looking around with a button instead of the mouse was weird, but once I realized how the mechanics of the game all worked together for the player to try to charge their car battery and survive, I realized the rotating camera did a great job at both gameplay and scare factor. The first time I saw the enemy retreating from my flashlight back into the woods when I turned toward them, it was pretty scary. Being forced to wait to charge the battery sometimes is also a good way to keep the player on edge as they spin around looking for threats. The ambient sounds and effects of the enemies approaching does a good job at warning the player and making it very creepy to play, in the dark, dreadful silence of the night. I do wish the cooldown timer continued even when not looking directly at the car, but perhaps it makes sense this way too, I'm not sure. I did beat the game, very scary and stressful. 10/10

Apperciate it! If you’re finding the game easy try playing the hard version! (Found in the executable)

Will try it later

It better be hard or at least challenging >:D

Also try to submit it to "the shorter the beter gamejam I think it fits very well to it 

Maybe try changing the lore to include "super natural " <--- the theme of the jam and you'll be fine :D
