End life plan
REGROUND will remain downloadable on itch.io after the jam. The game is fully offline and does not rely on servers, accounts, or online services, so the final build will always remain playable. I also intend to keep a downloadable Windows build available for preservation and continue polishing the game after the jam if needed.
Transparency note
This game was developed by me in Unity over the course of three days. AI was used as an assistant for brainstorming, writing some text, and helping with programming tasks. All game design, gameplay mechanics, level design, implementation, and final decisions were created and completed by me. No third-party gameplay systems or templates were used.
An extremely immersive game, the graphics and sound create the perfect atmosphere.
I enjoy games with intentionally wonky controls. When they're done right, as they are here, they're a creative way to add challenge.
When I finally managed to escape, reopened the game, and saw my time of 01:03.996 on the TV, I had a real "Oooooh..." moment.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I’m really glad the core idea and atmosphere came across the way I intended, especially the concept behind the records and the environment.
Your feedback about the darkness, the crawling feedback, the UI clipping, and the intro is very helpful. Since the jam is still ongoing I can’t update the build yet, but these are definitely things I want to improve in a post-jam update.
I’m also happy to hear you spent time chasing a better record. That was exactly the kind of experience I hoped the game would create.
Thanks again for playing and for the thoughtful feedback!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the game's interpretation of the theme. The controls are actually shown in the scrolling text at the beginning, but judging by the comments, I definitely need to make them more noticeable in future updates. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback! The controls are explained in the scrolling text at the start, but I understand they could be easier to notice. The awkward movement itself was intentional, since I wanted crawling to feel difficult and exhausting, but I'll definitely think about presenting the controls more clearly in future versions.
