How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
UNSTABLE is incorporated directly into the core gameplay. The player is given a short amount of time to observe and memorize a room. When the timer ends, the environment becomes unstable and one of its objects changes. The player must explore the room, identify what changed, and decide whether the object is different. A correct choice allows the player to continue, while a wrong choice triggers a horror consequence.

this made me realise i'm apparently terrible at remembering what a room looked like 3 seconds ago

simple concept but the uncertainty works pretty well, especially once you start convincing yourself something changed when it didn't

i'm in the jam with ONE REACTOR too. if you have time, give it a play/rating

Haha, honestly that was exactly what I was hoping for  The uncertainty gets you questioning your own memory. Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! And sure, I’ll definitely check out your game too!

I love this game. It's fun to play, and you should definitely expand on this idea. It has Exit8 vibe. It's horror done tastefully. It's simple but well executed. I wish there was more variety in the "instability" than just a size difference, and increased difficulty and higher stakes, but given the time constraint and that it's for a jam, this is excellent. Basically I want more. I wish there was audio though.

Thank you so much!  I’m really glad you enjoyed the game and saw the potential in it. I joined the jam halfway through when there were only 3 days left, so I had to leave out a lot of things from my checklist, including more instability variations and audio. I’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind if I expand the game. Really appreciate you taking the time to play it!

Games that reimagine the "spot the 7 differences" puzzles from our childhood are always welcome—even though my memory is terrible, haha. It would be cool to have a settings HUD to lower the sensitivity or toggle off the counter so we can get a better look at the environment, but aside from that, it’s a great take on the theme.

Thank you!!  I’m really happy you enjoyed the idea! I joined the jam with only 3 days remaining, so I had to keep the scope pretty small and couldn’t add everything I had planned.

I really like the settings HUD suggestion too, and I’ll definitely remember that if I continue working on the game. Thanks for playing!
