The atmosphere, the art direction, UI implementation all top notch! I also like the tie into the spin to win themes. After seeing Joey Toro in the list of names I had to play it, and I was not disappointed! I did run into a small bug where I had a record stuck in my hand though.

Developer

Thank you so much for checking out our game and giving it a go! Really stoked to work on a finalized version of the game to put out a full experience soon! There's currently a lot of bugs with the flow of events that we are fixing right now to update the prologue after the jam ends! I got to check out your game later today too! :)

Submitted(+1)

That's exciting! Game jams that turn into full projects are always great to see and this definitely deserves to continue! Please do check out our game, but I apologize for the victory animation I made lol.

Developer(+1)

Yo thank you so much for playing! I appreciate you taking the time to check it out. We're working on a more complete version that will hopefully have less bugs :)

Just an incredible atmosphere.  Visuals and audio are top notch.  There's a tonne of content.  Nice play on the theme.  Though I did encounter bugs, as detailed by other people, so I won't repeat them.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the game, but there is a lot of potential.

Developer(+2)

Super sorry for the bugs! We're working on an updated version to this prologue that will go out when the jam unlocks submissions. We're working hard on a larger follow up though so we hope you'll try it out when it's ready!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! We're getting to fixing the prologue ASAP and we're very stoked to announce a full release sometime within the near future, appreciate you <3 Also your game is right up all of our alleys, so damn cool

Submitted(+4)

Art direction really on point and I can see the potential for this to be a bigger project!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for taking the time to play it! We have some big ideas for a full version!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much my man! Hyped you checked it out and enjoyed it, very stoked to work on a full and polished release of the game!

Loved the intro sequence with the music matching up to the snowy ride. I was flooring it, haha. It was cool exploring the intro and meeting all the characters. You guys built a lot. Unfortunately I got stuck when I picked up too many vinyls and could no longer progress the story. Seems pretty obvious you guys want to take it further, I'd be interested to see what develops!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game! Yeah, it gets really buggy late game but we're working on some fixes to that. Hope you'll be able to try out the full release!

Developer

Yoo thank you so much for checking our game out! We have lots of plans to polish and ultimately create a full release in the near future. Bugs noted and we are workin on fixing them asap! Stoked to check out your game as well :)

Great concept bro! I loved the atmosphere of the game (the visuals and the soundtrack are insanely good), and the aproche to the theme was pretty interesting! Although, i've experienced some bugs: On the start of the game, the car rolled over lol, maybe i'm just pretty bat at directions haha. Also, on the playground, the camera started drifted to the sides, but after talking to the NPC (Juniper btw) it came back to normal. Finally, in the radio, there was a time where I was holding two vinils at the same time, but one o them i just couldn't use (i don't know if there is a way to use it or if it was really a glitch), and when I talked to Kyle during the records, checking if it was a  new dialogue, it restarted the progress of the night and I needed to play the first record again. Even so, this game has a lot ofpotential, and I am excited to see what you guys are cooking!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for checking it out Pedro that means a lot to us! Bugs are noted and we are getting to fixing them asap! Very happy to hear you enjoyed the vision for the project, we're amped to polish up a finalized version of the game :) Stoked to try out your game here too!

Submitted(+3)

very charming visual style and music! only thing is i was able to softlock myself when i strayed from the instructions (cuz im bad at following instructions), but then going back in i was able to avoid that by paying more attention. nice work, and excited to see more of this game and its nice aesthetic!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for checking out our game. It means a lot to us. We hope to get a full version out <3

Developer

You thank you so much!! Flow of events definitely need a bit of fixing, we're very stoked to polish it up and release a full version to embody more of our finalized vision. Your game is damn good too, very charming and fun :)

Submitted(+2)

I would 100 percent play a full version of this game. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the initial drive in the snow and the way the audio changed especially. I did get a bug where after talking to the NPC near the playground my camera would constantly drift to the side afterwards the rest of the game unless it was locked on to a talking NPC. 

Developer(+2)

Thank you for taking the time to check out our game! we'll look into that bug! it is definitely an awkward amount of eye contact lol

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much my man! Definitely a good amount of bugs we're getting to fixing right now, more of a proof of concept at this point lol. Really appreciate you again for taking the time to check it out :) Also so stoked and hyped on your game, such a great feel and atmosphere to it. Right up my alley, 100% would want to play a full version as well!

Submitted(+2)

awesome game, really dig the style and atmosphere! can confirm the windows build runs well on linux using wine, but you need to have dxvk installed to avoid graphical glitches it seems

Developer

Yo thanks for taking the time to play! I'll take a better look at linux optimzation for the full game.

Submitted(+1)

thank you for making the game!

as for the linux stuff, it's normal for unreal engine to have messed up graphics when you run the windows build on linux (instead of a native build) without installing dxvk, there are no technical issues with the game code itself in this regard

Developer(+1)

Yo thank you so much Mike! Was so stoked to play your game too, so dang unique, I wanna play through it again later tonight. Music is amazing too!

Submitted(+3)

This game has a ton of potential, and could definitely be expanded. It feels great to play, the sound effects are very well done, the music is beautiful, and the overall aesthetic/vibe is fantastic too. A really neat premise and lots of polish for a jam game. Well done! Thanks for making it!

Developer

Yo thank you so much! We spent a lot of time on the audio and music so I appreciate that big time! We're very amped to get to expanding it further. Super stoked to try out your game here soon too!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play! Glad you enjoyed experiencing the world as much as we did creating it!

Submitted(+2)

I didn't have time to finish it, but I am totally going to beat it! The low poly visuals are beautiful and I loved the atmosphere of the game! Also, the sound effects on the radio are just bangers haha. After finishing it, i will rate it and make a new comment. Amazing job!

Developer(+1)

Yo we appreciate you taking the time to try it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much Pedro we appreciate you!! We have many more songs we cooked up to be played in the full release :) Also very stoked to play your game here soon!

Submitted(+3)

very cool atmosphere. would love to see this game go further beyond the jam. super cool.

Developer

Yooo thanks for trying out the game! We're glad 

Developer

Thank you so much! We're getting right back to cookin so we can release a full polished game after the jam!

Submitted(+3)

Very nice game. I loved the aestetic and design choices. It has a unique vibe and has a lot of potential. Nice work!

Developer

Yoo thank you so much for checking it out, we appreciate you! Your game was so much fun, very well polished

Developer

Yo thanks for taking the time to try it!

Submitted(+4)

Had some glitches (probably cause i was running through Wine on Linux) but this is a pretty good game! Could definitely be made into a full game with some polishing! Great job everyone!

Developer(+2)

Yoo thank you so much for playing our game! Yeah we have some bugs present with the flow of events, that's something we are going to  polish for a full release after the jam concludes. Appreciate you taking the time to check it out!

Submitted(+1)

There is one bug id like to mention since you guys are planing to full release. looking at the ground with a disc in hand makes you go like 10x speed in movement. Good luck!

Developer(+1)

Ah yes we have noticed that one as well, lets just say it functions as a speedrunner strat as of now lmao. We will definitely get to fixing that!

Developer(+1)

Yo thanks for playing our game! Sorry about the bugs, we were crunching last minute trying to fix as many as we could... I promise the full release will be MUCH more polished!

Submitted(+2)

Dont worry, the bugs did not change the experience of the game, for the scale of your project it is udnerstandable!

Submitted(+3)

Came in with a full Options menu with graphics and everything :D. I really liked this this has potential to be a full game The visuals were amazing it had a cozy horror vibe to it the audio was great. I enjoyed it

Developer

Thanks for playing our Game! <3 

Developer (1 edit)

haha I always hate when games don’t have settings so made sure we had those in there. Thanks for taking the time to play!

Submitted(+2)

This is awesome, I can totally see this being a full game. The full options menu and flow of gameplay is very impressive. I love the characters, especially the juniper cameo. Really great vibe and atmosphere, I like the concept of being a DJ for a remote radio station. I will say, I found it easy to break the intended flow of events, e.g. I talked to the radio producer a second time and the instruction to play the first record came back, despite me having already started the second one. I also had an issue after arriving at the town where the camera would continue looking left or right, even if I stopped moving the mouse. It stopped when I got to the radio station. I'm keen to follow along with this project, it's very compelling!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play! Yeah, we ran into a lot of issues scripting the flow of events to allow for more player choice. That's definitely something we're going to improve upon in the full game!

Developer

Thank you for checking the game out. can't wait to show off what the full game can be <3

Developer

Yo! Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game and giving us feedback, appreciate it big time. We're very stoked to continue the development and bring it fully to life. Excited to try your game as well!

Developer(+1)

Developer(+2)

Yo! Thank you so much for checking our game out, our team has poured tons of hours and love into this and its been so much fun. We're so stoked to play everyone else's games too!

We couldn't finish our full game in time so take this as a Prologue/Demo. We are going to stick together to finish this project and put out a full release after the jam concludes!

**Thing to note** If the car doesn't start or move in the beginning try re-opening!

Submitted

The game does not seem to be running for me on windows :(

Developer

Sorry about that! We're working on some fixes that will be going out soon.

Developer

It should run now <3 feel free to check it out again

Submitted

I hope you can make a linux or web port of this game because I couldn't try it out today :(

Developer

we´re still bugfixing. the full release will be in the next 24h.

Developer

Sorry, we use unreal which doesn’t support web builds. We don’t have the machines to do a Linux build either unfortunately.
