How does the game fit the theme?
This game takes place in a setting where everything is simulated and is not as it seems. You cannot trust anything, not even the world around you.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Audio, Player controller, and our console screen

Really cool atmosphere and visuals. Had fun playing this one on stream with you. Thanks for hanging out today!
Lost my test tube :(
in our game, when an object clipped through walls or just dissapeared, we made a script that resets the object to it initial place. maybe you can apply something like that.
Loved the ambience, it felt very lonesome.
-tomy.
Was it in the desk under the Test Tube's spawn? We will be sure to check out your game and try to get a handle of how you decide when to respawn! Thank you so much for the feedback and we're glad you loved the ambience, thats exactly what we wanted to go for!
i liked the design of the game, bit it is a bit too hard to find where the tasks are, and i soft locked myself after i put the tank in a wall because items can clip through walls when holding them, and if you could write the tasks at the corner when you open the console then close it because i need to go back to the console if i want to revise the tasks
Thanks for playing!! Hmm interesting, was the tank not on the outside? We will see if we can replicate it and fix it for future releases. As of right now the task is logged by selecting "Is Active", so we'll look into just automating it or communicating that better!
I really enjoyed it ! I felt like sometimes it was hard to find where you needed to go for the tasks, but I could still find my way. The ambiance is really well done too, I got scared by my own footsteps at some point because the sound changed.
Glad you enjoyed it! For further development, we would like to add more story beats to help players along!
Lost my dang test tube in the counter but it didn't stop me. Grabbed that box and charged out into the snow, blindly found the mailbox and it let me ship. I was really tempted to try and wander the eerie wilderness forever, it was calm yet creepy. :y
The test tube gets automatically packed into the box! Weird little automation.
Maybe there's something in the wilderness, we'll have to find out.
Great game, got stuck on the cook food part though lmao.
The food part isn't required! We would like to get it fixed but it can be skipped!
I walked outside and got lost.... the wall was super eerier.... gave me truman show vibes.
I did get stuck a few times so i didn't get to complete much :C
glad we captured truman man show vibes. Where did you get stuck?
The part with the mail box, I couldn't find it so i ran outside and decided to wander about and couldn't find my way back.
Following the slightly darker trail outside the base will take you to the mailbox. Good to know though, the base is positioned in the center so if you run into a wall just flip around and you should get back.
Great Game with Good Visuals and Sound!! i like the idea of trusting nothing!
Thank you!!
really cool visuals, i just had one bug where the snow states were reversed but its a neat game!
thats on the fix list for today!
This is fixed!
amazing game i really love the starnge somewhat scary nd eerie aesthetics nd feeling of it , i was able to crash it when leaving the house and switched the post processing effects to be able to see everything clear outside lol , and also i couldnt know how to clean my place ??
Thank you!! We hop to resolve the bug due to the player backing out of the trigger volume after triggering it. For cleaning your place you must pick up the spare items around the base; a folder, a pile of papers, and a soda can.
I liked the eerie atmosphere this game creates and i liked the Design and usage of the Computer, but when the task was to retrieve a package from the Mailbox I couldn’t find it and was stuck
One Bug i had was that I couldn’t get this Game to open in Fullscreen and it doesn’t help that everything around the Game Window is a bright white. You could maybe make the Theme for the Game Page Darker if Fullscren won’t work, that might help a little bit.
Another Bug I had, was if you move in and out of the House trough the Door Frame very fast it will make the switch to snow sometimes trigger in the House and not the outside and only go away if you repeat it again
It might be because of the itch randomizer UI. If you open the game in a new/different window, fullscreen works
That totally fixed it, sorry to bother you with this
Thanks for helping!
Thanks for giving it a try! We noticed the bug with the box soon after uploading and finally just got it fixed! The full game should now be playable.
I see someone already helped fix the fullscreen issue. However we did redesign the theme like you said and reworked the lighting to be better compatible with web.
Thanks, we will try to look into it and fix that issue!
I was now able to finish the Game. There were still some Bugs with Picking up Objects especially the Folder next to the Computer. Some objects would just clip through the Floor, which made the clean up Mission difficult. But after restarting once and being more careful it worked.
But Overall well done, I liked it!
Glad you were able to complete it! We will look into the pickup system and see if there's any thing we can do in before bug fixing ends!
We have reworked the loading system so you should not be able to reverse the inside and outside!
Awesome, I have played the Game again and the Bug is gone.
Great game idea! Visuals are amazing! Idea of being a researcher in the north pole is very interesting! But I've encountered few bugs:
1) If you barely leave the base, at one point inside the base it's snowy with missing walls, but outside is just clear and with no snow. It also breaks the tasks (I couldn't fill the generator). Restarting or doing the same trick solved it.
2) Sometimes test tube gets packaged immediately upon receiving a task. Other times the box always has a "Test Tube" interaction text. I placed the package near the mailbox and it disappeared. Interaction with mailbox did nothing. I couldn't replicate it.
3) Objective tells to check console, but there's no task.
4) Sometimes when moving a cursor, it flicks a bit to the side.
Overall I loved the atmosphere of the game. Thanks for your effort, dev team!
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad you enjoyed it.
1) We will be looking into how to solve this!
2) We believe the Test Tube interaction is solved in the latest patch but will continue testing and patching! As well as checking to see how to better solve the immediate packaging. We also added a fix to respawn an item if it falls through the map!
3) Do you remember what task you did before this happened?
4) Yes, sadly the way the cursor is drawn can be a little jittery. This may not be able to be fixed before the bug fix period is over.
After sleeping in the bed task. I'll replay tomorrow morning and check that. Bugs sometimes stop happening, so I can't guarantee.
It was really dark when I first opened it, after I repaired the generator it was somewhat playable.
Thanks for still giving it a chance! We just reworked the lighting for web!
I could not play the game because it was too dark, and the fullscreen button was not working.
We just fixed up the lighting so it would work better for Web!
Unfortunately I wasn't able to play the game. It seems that the screen is too dark and I was unable to see anything.
Just enabled the fullscreen button and brought up the brightness to work with HDR!
