Ranked from 27 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
The theme is "trust no one," and every system is built to make that literal. The verification devices (sound, fingerprint, body heat) aren't reliable; whether they pass or fail is random and gives no real signal about whether the person is human or alien. Even the guaranteed-pass rule applies equally to both. So you can run every check available and still walk away with nothing but a gut feeling. The game never lets you trust the evidence; it forces you to trust your instinct instead, knowing you might be wrong either way.

For the people who are reviewing the game please note - The fingerprint test and body scan test takes quite a lot of time please wait for it

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some background audios

Developer

Thanks !!

The art style for this is really cool! And I really love the voices too. I know in the description it says that the fingerprint and body heat scanner takes awhile, but it would be nice to have some kind of indicator to show that its working. I know slowly turn green, but for me, sometimes they wouldn't start until I was holding down the corresponding key for a long while. Otherwise, great entry!

Developer

Thanks for the review !

I liked the idea of the game but I will leave some points here that might enhace the experience:

  •  The checking (fingerprints, body temperature) take too long, it gets tiring after 2 or 3 people because it's always the same 2 to 3 steps and the time it takes is too long, maybe making it instantly start scaning when pressing the "F or B" could make the playtrough better;

    Make the intro skipable trough parts, you have the option to pre SPACE and make the text appear completly, but then I have to wait to hear all the audio, you could make the SPACE show all the text on the first time clicking and the if you click again or press make the audioskip
  • When you are checking the Sound of the person, If im listening and I make them pass trough, the audio keeps playing on the other persons turn.
  • Maybe adding a sort of light spot blinking sometimes would give that sort of appocalipse feeling where everything is t the edge of going wrong you know.


these are just some of the small improvements i think could enhace the game, but i liked it, good job!

Developer

Thank you very much and I've rated your game it was fun !

Awesome concept! Making the scanners unreliable fits the theme perfectly. Loved the art and voice acting—super impressive work .

Developer

Thank you very much !

I do really like the voice acting and the arts, was very entertainig.  It was abit unclear at the begginig how the fingerprint scanner and the body heat detector are working, i've just thought they were broken. Also would be nice to have a button to directly ditch the aliens, not to wait the whole timer goes off. Overall it is very nice game u've made there

Device animations should indicate that the button is being pressed sooner. Other than that I have no complaints. The art and music fits the game's setting really well.

For a 7 day jam, you did great. Congratulations!

Developer

Thank you for the review !

I can really feel the passion for this project. Great characters, each with their own unique sound :-D

Developer

Thank you very much :)

The art is very fitting. Such games are always nice to have! Would you mind rating my game? 

Developer

Thanks ! Yes I'd love to rate your game

It’s an cool concept for the theme. It’s like Papers, Please. The visuals and voice acting are a big plus too. I see that you mentioned some parts are unfinished due to the time crunch, so I won’t mention the obvious. Still, good job on the submission!

Developer

Thank you !!

Nice visuals and story!

Developer

Thank you !

Appreciate the effort of having multiple voices for the many characters in your game. The game idea and sound check is pretty cool but I'm not sure why but the fingerprint and body heat check isn't really working for me. I also tried pressing E for every single character to let them through, but nothing seems to really happen. Not sure if that's supposed to be the case.

Developer

Thanks for the review, actually fingerprint test and heat check takes a lot of time so that's why the progress on scene takes a bit more time to show. Unfortunately I didn't had the time to make it smoother since I added those mechanics like just a night before the jam. But thanks for trying out my game :)
I'm gonna check out your game for sure :)

Submitted(+1)

Like the concept, its fitting the theme! Well done!

But I have an issue, finger check and heat check are just didnt work for several restarts, so I have to rely only for an ID check :D And I didnt find the fast way to not let'em through, I mean some kill button would be super nice :)

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks for the review, actually fingerprint test and heat check takes a lot of time like 20 sec in game or so that's why the progress on scene takes a bit more time, Unfortunately I didn't had the time since I added those mechanics like just a night before the jam...you can try again and wait to check it might just work but anyhow thanks for checking out our game :)

Developer

btw man you can also check the people in game using voice test there's also that option

Very nice concept and visuals! I really like it.
