Really cool ambiance!  I'm not sure I understand the underlying story, but the vibes are really well-done.  Very nice job building ambiance, and good writing; cryptic but evocative.  Nice work!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback! There is some form of underlying narrative, but since this is my first jam, to meet the deadline, I ended up removing a lot of it, so it is completely indecipherable lol. Hope I can expand on this in the future.

Thanks for playing my game and for your comment!

congrats on your first finished project! You really made an incredibly eerie atmospheric game, the minimalist art style really enhanced it and made it feel even more tense for some reason, and the click sound effect that sounds like a knock at the door through a wall... i was on the edge of my seat expecting a jump scare at any moment... (im thankful there wasn't one tho!!). Great art direction!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing my game and for the feedback! I'm happy to hear you found the atmosphere so effective. Hope to keep on jamming in the future <3

This was a really cool interactive story, I loved the writing! It was great trying to figure out how to balance all the bars :)

Thank you so much :)

Loved that in your game as well, it was so tense. Thanks for playing my first game!

Really great interactive story! :O

Things I loved:

  • Absolutely nailed the vibes here, the audio + writing play off each other perfectly!
  • 3 plates to spin was perfect - had a few tense moments there! But always felt like I could intuit the potential consequences (or should've in hindsight)
  • The switch to the dreams was appropriately off-putting for how minimalist it was! Great use of audio again
  • Really unique entry, haven't played anything like it in the jam so well done there :D

Things I'd love to see:

  • A little more time on the art / vignettes would go hard, though relying on imagination has its benefits of course. Very creepy...
  • Just a bit more tbh! Don't get me wrong it was a great length, but I certainly wouldn't have minded a few more days ;) Cheers!

You're too kind with your feedback, genuinely made my day, and I'll be making more game-jam submissions for sure. Really appreciate the detailed comment.

This game jam was such a great learning experience, so I do hope to keep on building and improving my art skills and game-design.

Thanks again!

I liked it altho it gets a bit repetitive

Developer

Thanks :) Yeah if I had more time, I'd expand on the art first, then some more interesting and random events and encounters to keep it interesting
