I really liked this one. It’s the only jam game I’ve tried that was genuinely stressful to play, but in a good way. I was almost expecting something to attack me every time I put the heuristics guide down, due to the creepy tone. As others pointed out, it doesn’t seem like anything happens after the countdown ends and I wasn’t really sure if I was progressing or not, but the atmosphere you managed to create with the unsettling audio and creepy art still made me enjoy this one a lot. I was a bit confused at the beginning as there was a lot to read in the in-game guide to start with, I think allowing the player to read over the instructions before the timer starts would have helped, but I think I got the hang of what I had to do eventually. I get that most of that is just due to the time limits from the jam though, I think this could make for a really good horror experience if you expand on it :D
