Very nice game! The idea is pretty standart, and defusing process is straightforward (check one page at a time until one wire left). But implementation is very solid. You have graphics in a consistent style, very atmospheric lighting and sound, little cutscene in the beginning, smooth transitions. Gameplay is frictionless, no bugs, QoL is there. Defusing might get a bit annoying when you get several positive conditions for same wire, and wording is sometimes complicated to understand. But aside that, I enjoyed the game a lot, managed to complete it twice (second time on expert). Great job!
Actually had me panicking, really cool idea and probaly one of the best kind of games for a Jam, the music and environment gave off that saw kind vibe and I DIG IT!! Awesome game bro, 5 stars!!!
Also if your bored plz check out my game!
Have a great rest of your day c:
Thank you very much!
Saw was actually a big inspiration for the vibe, glad I could bring that across :)
Yeahh, honestly your inspiring me to try and make some sort of horror themed game next, could be real fun
This was an amazing game to play! Totally loved the theme it was going for, the creativity and the level difficulty settings here and variations added a lot of replayability! My only concern would be more from someone who gets headaches (the short cutscene though fun first watch - on repeat playthroughs can be a bit headache inducing) - otherwise loved trying to understand all the rules and experimenting by failure. I lost 2 tries as it took me time to understand the keywords but post that I got 2 defusals - one in normal and one in expert mode and totally loved it. Also love the Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes inspiration with this one.. more games such as these need to exist! The explosions and defeats were fun and I was feeling the intensity on my repea playthroughs. Would love to play more times but the cutscene at the beginning makes me want to stop replaying immediately due to the headache factor - thats my only concern with this one. :)
This is a freaking beautiful game! Loved it.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'll keep a option to skip cutscenes for the future in mind!
Also amazing job on beating expert difficulty, I myself can barely do that!!
I like that there are multiple difficulty levels and a short cutscene at the start of the game! I'm mostly confused about what the ink color is referring to in the manual, since every time I open the notebook it seems that the ink color is black. It also took me a while to understand what it meant by "note color" (the notebook cover color). I'm also confused about the note to the left side of the room that keeps saying "Cut the green wire" on the "easy" level. It seems to have no correlation to the instructions of the notebook? Otherwise, I enjoy the puzzle-like experience of this game and the atmospheric design a lot! I believe that with some improvements made to the clarity of the instruction manual, it can be an even stronger game! :D
The manual can be a bit confusing sometimes however I think that made it more fun.
Very fun to play!
The note ink color vs word color messed up my mind a lot lol.
Loved the explosion animation!
Fun idea, very well executed! I even completed the Extreme difficulty ^^
This was fun! Love when games actually make me use my brain for once lol. Great Job!
Really cool game, loved the aesthetics and ambiance! My brain got all tangled up, but it still was really fun to play
The game is pretty cool, I only really did the easy difficulty but I think it's cool how all the notes are generated randomly! Good job with the game
The manual is completely blank. Beyond the colors around the room, I have no clue what will kill me. Although I love this vibe and aestetic quite a bit!
Hey thanks for the feedback!
The Manual is working for me, what browser are you using if you dont mind me asking, i tested Chrome and Opera on different devices and it always worked :/
