The vibes are immaculate but I'm definitely not a jumpscare kinda guy so once I sussed out the kinda game this was gonna be I definitely closed it.
🙇♂️Sorry I couldn't review this in earnest, but what I did see I liked!
No worries! I appreciate you trying it out anyways!
Wow, the style of the game is actually amazing! I can't believe you finished it in one week. You did such a good job with the art direction of this game. I'm not really a person who can handle horror, so I kind of got out of it straight after I got one jump scare... haha. But from what I got to experience before that, it was truly amazing. Oh, and I also really liked the voice acting. In general, it just looks like you did a great job!
Thank you for this comment! This validates everything we were shooting for. Obviously I'm my own worse critic, so the subjects you touched on-art direction, voice acting, and horror, were the parts that I wasn't sure if it was working or not. Even if you quit out after the jumpscare- thank you for playing!
The atmosphere was excellent, and the different environments really made exploring interesting. I also liked the voice acting and the overall horror vibe. It remember me Back room escape together
Thank you! If we got anything right, I wanted to get the atmosphere right, so I appreciate this comment! I'll be playing your game when I get off work!
Interesting game. Also I lost the green CD that was behind the bars at the beginning after I teleported back to my room and finding CDs is hard :D
Did you not turn in the green CD? If you didn't turn it in, that was an edge case I didn't think of as I made the Green CD a one time use as it is a free spin, my bad lol. Thanks for playing though!
Yeah at that moment I didnt realise I should insert CDs into the machine where I sell them and just jumped into the portal :D
Dang this is good, it really is very spooky scary. You polish it and you'll have a masterpiece
Thank you for that! We definitely plan to fix/polish/add to the game after the jam ends.
I like the music and the large variety of creative and spooky environments! The CD collecting and cleaning felt tedious and I kept losing objects to physics.
Yeah I definitely wasn't happy with the cleaning system as a whole, originally I wanted to do more of a mini game where you actually wipe the dirt off the CD (a la power washer sim) but time got the better of me for sure. And choosing super small objects to sim physics was not the best idea in retrospect as well lol Regardless, thanks for playing and commenting!
Yes I agree, doing a game jam with lots of physics is not something I plan on doing again as well lol.
Cool game! it was very confusing at the start but I stumbled my way through to an ending and now I'm in hell I thinkhaha. The cleaning mechanic wasn't very clear I kind of had to keep dropping the brush on the disks, also I very frequently took the portal and spawned into a monster / jumpscare but it felt more like a bug tbh. Cool concept but deffo out of scope for a 7 day jam haha it's a very great attempt though and the visuals and environments are super impressive given the time!
Yeah, if it had gone to plan, I would've implemented a better way to guide the player through the mechanics (instead of a hasty voice line lol). Also, I did run into the same bug of the monster immediately killing you- I tried making the PCG Graph not allow them to spawn near the origin (the portal spawn point) but obviously that was broken smh. Thanks for playing and commenting!
Loved the feeling of this game! Only issue I had was I got a no value from the wheel and it gave me 500 for some reason, so I immediately was succeeding far above what I should have had. Really good atmosphere though, great job!
Ugh that wheel gave me so many issues. Thank you for playing though!
I absolutely love the vibe. I'm happy to report that I got both endings!!! I also had a jump scare where I nearly knocked my monitor over! So definitely hats off for that! Keep creating, you will go very far. I can't wait to play all of your future games!!!
I really loved the atmosphere of the game, and great job with the voice acting :D my only complaint is 1.5gb is a pretty hefty download
Thank you for playing even with the large download size! The time is brutal, normally I would go another pass to trim down the size, but it is what it is. Appreciate the kind words!
