Man, I panicked and lost about 5 shots to the first ‘sleeper’ that I came across. The rising SFX when you’re about to wake one up is incredibly suspenseful. It is manageable enough to back up a bit and scan the horizon until you start hearing a second sleeper start to wake. Had a couple of those happen. Great horror experience.

Also, as an aside on the loon sounds: the wail is the most iconic one (looooooow hiiiiiigh low) but the one with lots of short bits ( low hi hi hi low ) is the one they use for predators. This bit of bird lore made those SFX extra stressful, haha.

I love this game. The vibes are pristine, the forest and atmosphere are great for this kind of game and the diagetic map adds a big deal of immersion. The objective is fairly simple but might need a couple of tries to figure out how early you need to get back to camp and where the fuel sources are. The monsters design is fairly simple but used very well, the noises they make as you're exploring are fantastic but I wish they weren't dead giveaways of their location and instead were used just to spook the player a little bit to make them paranoid. Might be a fair bit too long of an experience for a jam showcase but one I'd love to fully play through in any other setting. Had a fantastic time with it!

nice concept it could use some polish 

for me personally i couldn't survive even past one night i got easily destroyed i couldn't see them coming even after hearing them they were just too fast

overall it was a nice experience for a horror game and that's coming form a horror game fan so be proud you made a nice game :)

I hate scary games, but I managed to play through this one (on first try).

+ The atmosphere is pretty good.

- The grass keeps clipping through the road.

+ The enemy sound design means you know from which direction they are comming from and have enough warning time

The map not showing your location is great. You have to figure it out by looking at the coordinates which takes time and would allow the monsters to sneak up on you. Sadly the enemies don't move on their own. Still increases the tention if you are running out of time and are lost.

And bor the bird that souns as a money sound effect gave me a heart attack. It was fine the first time but it just kept going and going and I was imagining some horific birdheaded monster right behind me. Well imagination is the greatest scare anyone can give you.

Also if running has no cost, just make it the default walking speed. I don't need to catch a carpal tunnel from your game >w<

Oh and the game was a bit laggy. Moving the mouse around felt a bit choppy

Nice concept

Very cool idea, making an open world horror game like this in 4 days is quite a task and you've done a good job!

Great work ! I love the atmosphere and the world map, it was fun to have a navigation system that isn't an arrow to your goal for once (but the coordinates sytem make it not too difficult, I would have sucked at navigating only with the compass ahah) . They came for me in the middle of a day in broad daylight though, not sure why

I was pretty confused on how to play. I get that I'm supposed to siphon fuel from the cars & gas stations and take it back to my base before nightfall so I can power my generator. But I keep randomly getting attacked by monsters in the middle of the day? And I'm not sure what the point of the shotgun is if I'm never able to see the monster before I'm attacked.

The atmosphere is very cool, though!

Hey so I've just seen the game screenshots and wanted to tell that I already fell in love with the forest post-apocalyptic atmosphere! 
Can't wait to actually play it! I'll post second comment after I complete it.

Wow that was an amazing game. The sounds had me spooked playing this, and i really liked the ending when you ran out of fuel!

Wow really ambitious to make a world game for a jam. The atmosphere is excellent and the monster was really scary. The exploration reminded me a lot of old horror games like Slenderman (You know what I mean lol). Anyways really well done!!

Really liked the open world for a game like this. You nailed the map system, and I particularly appreciated the base being at 500, 500. It balanced being lost but still having a center. The sound was good too, great job!

Hey! Such a nice game! Amazing atmosphere. Was this map interaction inspired by Metro: Exodus?

I liked the vibe and the expansive world, but it seemed like there was not too much to do all over the place. It was ambitious of you to have made something this large, but it has a similar problem, I found, to a lot of open world games: a bit too much walking and not enough stuff going on. Anyway, the enemy was scary, and it reminded me of Into the Radius quite a bit. Nice entry!

cool vibe and impressive world!

You got quite a lot done over just a few days! Nice job with all the map design and I like how you have the map exploration working. I feel there could have been more polish for the audio and creatures (at least how they appear in the day), but otherwise it works quite well!

Great game! The atmosphere was very effective and the game was overall well-polished even if I don't usually like horror games. Good stuff!

Fun game!! The map/compass is VERY well made. Got a bit jump-scared by the black enemy. Didn't realise I had a shotgun till the 3rd time I got attacked lol. Overall great job!!

Really cool, the performance was a little bad (Thanks to my old laptop) and some parts like moving the mouse felt slow. Sometimes i didnt know if i was filling the gas canister or i was pressing the wrong button, sometimes the player didnt get out of the bunker for some reason.

Pretty cool game, i couldnt play it a lot because lag, but is pretty cool.
