How does the game fit the theme?
The game explores the concept where trust is a critical currency. Every decision you make carries a high price: trusting the wrong visitor leads to an immediate disaster, testing the player's judgment under extreme pressure.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything was made from scratch during the jam (except for standard engine libraries).

This was so unsettling but I assume that was the goal so good job! I loved the art style; it felt like a combination of early 3D graphics + claymation which is pretty cool. The whole world and atmosphere that you created was very creepy. I do wish there was more to the audio though because after the second level or so, I went and turned down my volume as the loop became a bit too repetitive for me.
genuinely loved everything about this one! the vibes, the art direction, the spooky jumpscare guy lol. I never got any dialogue about cults, but maybe i just got unlucky or it was a fake out 'sign'? it is 'trust no one' so, trusting our employer should probably be included hahah
i love the art style, good game btw
The art and music go absolutely CRAZY Great work! I actually got scared of the jumpscares when I knew they were coming too qwq
Love the artstyle! Really fits the unsettling atmosphere
Love the artstyle! Really fits the unsettling atmosphere
the style reminds me a lot of buckshot roulette, wow, amazing visuals for the time you had ON YOUR OWN TOO OMG
Thank you so much! Buckshot Roulette is definitely a huge inspiration, so that's a massive compliment. Doing it solo was tough, but hearing this makes it totally worth it!
Great checkpoint-mimic stuff! I think the monster was the least interesting part of the game though, expected him to tamper with the console or similar when he showed up. I did have to beat the game and go back to let the monster in and see what he does though. Huge for such a simple concept!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for playing through the game! I really appreciate it.
You're spot on about the monster - I actually wanted him to mess with the console (there's even some leftover code for that!), but with the tight jam deadline, I just couldn't pull it off in time. My main priority was nailing the core gameplay loop and making sure the game felt smooth. Thanks again for the great feedback!
I liked it, but I wanted a real punishment. The gameplay was tense when a monster entered, but anyway, I liked the character designs, I don't know why, but your game is excellent.
I liked the visuals in your game
The visuals are great. Very juicy gameplay
Great game !
The textures are really unique and they make this game a real game with horror vibes

Art style is perfect, and mechanics are pretty simple, but felt a bit fresh for me. Very fun to try out.
