How does the game fit the theme?
"Trust No One" is the entire mechanic, not just flavor text. You wake up in what looks like your own house, but a voice speaking directly into your mind keeps stating things about it — calm, confident, and sometimes wrong. The player has to distrust that voice specifically, along with their own instinct to believe whatever feels most familiar, and instead verify each object against what's actually consistent. There's no external villain to fight — the tension comes entirely from not knowing which parts of your own memory (or the thing speaking as your memory) can be believed.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Only some furniture prop models and sounds are reused third-party assets. Everything else — code, level design, writing, and the rest of the assets — was made during the jam.

Cool concept that for me, didn't really translate well in the gameplay. I spent a lot of time wandering around the house inspecting different things, and had no real idea what was even going on. This could be simple user error, but overall I think that the idea is really cool. Visuals were good, I love a good PSX game. Good work!

+rated, it's outstanding idea in my view.

The most enranging thing in the game is the hard transition and rotation. Other part of the game is completly good.

The atmosphere and graphics are really great! The gameplay is a bit confusing though :l

Extremely eerie; I wasn't fully sure what to do or how to progress, but the premise, look of everything, jumpscares - that was all great!❤️

Interesting idea. I felt a bit bored playing it though, was very linear in the storytelling. Cool sound design.

We first had some troubles finding out where to click, but after a while we got the hang of it. Your game is really well planned, the story works out great! Good job!

Interesting premise, but I couldn't help but feel like I didn't understand the game. The audio and visuals are very good, but there was no clear goal. Besides that, good job.

Fixed the jump scare bug — the camera now snaps to look at it when it pops up, so it won't happen off-screen anymore. Also added a clue at the start of the game to help you know what to do. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

The jump scares were definitely intense with headphones, great job with atmosphere!

Visuals were cool, and the sounds made it spookier. like others said though the jumpscares were kind of laggy for my, i think I got one frame of the hand, but thats good for me since im bad with horror, GREAT WORK

They just dont give us many options with engines and smooth 3d graphics. The hitches affect my game as well, nicely done getting it running in the browser!

Great atmosphere and visuals. The jump scares made my computer lag unfortunately, and felt a little cheap. I'm not sure I fully get what was going on, but great job nonetheless.

The vibe was great, I was a bit confused about what was going on, though, and only really saw the hand try to get me, but good start of something
