Cool game! It was fun and I like the game idea.
This is very cool and the art style is very nice! My only gripe is that I wish there was a way to skip the intro dialogue. I don't know why, but I kept accidentally exiting, then I had to sit through the intro again for awhile. Otherwise, great job!
whoa the visuals are insane, keep it up!
A little bit of Papers Please and the recent horror games with door dash vibes. Simple, but it works.
The art, audio and theme is fitting. Only thing that can be better is that one can skip through the dialogues, as I restarted it 2 times, but can't skip through that what I already heard.
Nevertheless, good job guys!
oh geez oh geez. That was tense. I do wish the dialog could be sped up. But the atmosphere was great and visuals very well done!
Thanks for your reply !
Really great game!! I loved the atmosphere and the way the characters talk XD It reminded me a little of Papers, Please, but with more of a sense that your own life is actually in danger if you let the wrong person in!
Somehow, I only let ONE person in during my whole playthrough, the guy who knew the password... and then I died on the second night. Wait... was that guy actually a bad person...? XD
My only suggestion would be to let us speed up or skip some of the dialogue, especially the introduction. I wanted to try a second or third playthrough, but having to wait through the whole introduction again made it a little difficult.
Really enjoyed the game and the atmosphere!!
Thanks for playing our game! For your death in the tutorial is explaimed that theres an energy system, if you have less than the minimum amount of energy the generator will run out of energy and the doors of the whole tower will open, thats the reason you probably died, in any case we apreciate your feedback and hope you still had a good time playing :D
I didn't let anyone in and i still get bad ending at day 3. Don't know how this game really works. I thought you lose by letting the wrong people in. I still rate this high because of the atmosphere and the story (premise). I wish there is a skip dialog button for the dialog that has been read before. Good submission. I love it.
Thanks a lot! Turning everyone away won't save you either, since you have to take the risk and let actual humans in. A skip button for repeated dialogue is a great idea and is coming in the next patch. Glad you loved the story!
I'm not a fan of horror or creepy games, which has made rating in this jam difficult given the amount of horror games I've encountered, but you did a good job of making the game really eerie. I had trouble identifying which should be let in or kept out, but I got creeped our oddly fast and stopped playing before I got the hang of it. I agree with calbee.jagabee that it would have been nice to be able to skip dialogue to have it fill instantly
Thanks for giving it a try despite the horror theme! Making it genuinely eerie was a big goal, so hearing it spooked you is awesome. Adding an instant text reveal is definitely high on the fix list. Appreciate the feedback and the rating!
Your game is so polished! I also love the variety of characters involved in this game and how their personalities shine in their designs. UGH the color palette also looks so cool. My only mini critique is that I wish all text could be clicked to skip to the end or that you could speed up the pacing of the text (I might just be a fast reader though) Over all very entertaining game.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you loved the character designs and the color palette. The slow text was meant to help players catch subtle clues, but adding a way to speed it up or skip ahead makes total sense. Working on that update soon—thanks for playing!
It's well done! I love the art. It's crazy you were able to make so many characters in such a short time. The music and sound effects were great too.
Thank you so much! Making that many characters during the jam was definitely a crunch, so I'm really glad you loved the art and audio. Appreciate you playing!
I get that your game is kinda inspired from "No, Im not a human" (not sure just guessing) because I also got inspired by "That's not my neighbour" and made my game in this jam lol, but gotta say your game is very smooth to play the eerie music fits the theme of the game, the choices and mechanics gives justice to the narrative and overall its a very polished and entertaining game ! I'd love if you check out my game too pls !
Thank you for the awesome feedback! Happy to hear the atmosphere and narrative worked so well for you. I'd love to try your game out.
Love the art style and sophistication of the game
Thanks for your reply

I like the whole idea of the game and had fun playing it! I think it's interesting and executed well! I like the wiggly effect for the text though I would have liked if I could click to skip the dialogue from the radio instead of it auto playing because the wiggly font is harder to read quickly. I also like that you could not only question the people coming through but also let them in, ask them questions and decide whether to let them stay or not. The visuals are also great and sell the story of the game. One thing is, I'm not sure if I like the sfx used for the characters but it's just my personal preference.
Thanks so much! Really glad you liked the art and questioning mechanics. Adding click-to-advance for the radio dialogue makes total sense with that font, and I'll keep the SFX feedback in mind. Appreciate you playing!
LOVE IT, The Atmosphere, Art Style, Very High Quality and Fun Game
Thanks for your reply.
Very nice atmosphere.
I would have liked to be able to check the newspaper multiple times a day, just to check again in case i forget.
Very good game!
Thanks for the great feedback! Adding a way to review the newspaper anytime makes total sense so you don't miss important details. Glad you enjoyed the game and vibe!
nailed the visual and the audio, love them, but the text are too slow for some impatient person like me, overall great game tho, remind me of a game i forgot the name
Thank you! Love that you liked the atmosphere and audio. A speed-up option for the dialogue is definitely coming soon so you don't have to wait around. Appreciate you playing!
i like the visuals and art style! good game overall.
