Cool game, I liked your visual style, but I found a pretty funny and interesting thing, when you are in the menu, you can start the game and then the menu will be above everything, it doesn't get in the way at all, and I liked it, so good job!

I tried to keep the number of game states pretty low, one of the ways to do that was just to ensure the settings menu didn't require stopping anything xD

Really well-executed horror game, loved the atmosphere!

Developer

Thanks! That's what most of the developement time went into, we really wanted to nail that part

Yay, I saved the world!

There are a few imperfections (I almost quit because I didn't know when it would end, settings a a bit clunky), but overall I feel like this is a perfect example of an excellent jam gam!

I love when the story happens on the "edges" of gameplay, it really augments the vibe a lot with minimal production, very well done, good job!

Developer

Thanks for all your kind feedback! We had a great time coming up with creepy events to happen around the apartment.

Developer

Thanks a lot! Your description of the "edges" of gameplay being where the story and vibes come from was definitely our biggest goal in terms of feel here, so its awesome knowing that came across!

I did not like the feelings this gave me. But I am not good with horror games in general, so this is definitely a pilot error. That being said, I would introduce some distractions that you have to interact with, so you can actually get back to watching the timer again. Otherwise, it is easy to ignore most of them.

Developer

Defenitely, even playtesting it there were some pretty boring sections where we just ignoring the sounds and watching the timer count down. Thanks for playing!

am i a serial bomber in a previous life and is this my personal hell

This is a pretty cool and atmospheric experience! Maybe it can be expanaded to a short horror game? Like you can walk around the room and do other stuff.

karma is swift


Thanks! I'm glad the atmosphere came across here! It could definitely be expanded, we had plenty of ideas to build on this during the jam
