How does the game fit the theme?
You can't trust anyone because turning your back on them ends with you getting stabbed in the back. Later in the story you find out the voice in your head is lying to you too, changing the way you see the world and making you do horrible things.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Some different, created a nice spooky atmosphere, but could not get past the third level. Well done
This game actually managed to mix both puzzle and thinking elements with actiony spacey horror style. The theme works here too because I spamming pictures on everyone haha. The vibe and atmosphere is on point. Though sometimes, the pictures doesn't work and I keep spamming it. Nice game!
This is truly trust no one the game.
I saw the twist coming a mile away, but I still really enjoyed the game.
Neat idea! Sadly I got hard stuck on the second level. I think the game is a little unforgiving that way. But I like the style and the idea. Well done.
Nice puzzle game, the theme was really well integrated and overall fun, would like some more ambient sfx
Excellent entry. Of all those I've played this is the one that best illustrate the feeling of distrust that the theme evoked. Great job on the athmosphere and gameplay.
Most of the game was fairly doable, the only part that gave me troubles was the gunshop level. Pictures are sometimes very finicky and the last ghost blocking the way just wouldn't disappear, leading me to believe that I wasn't suppose to go this way. Appart from that, very balanced experience, if you had to change something after the jam I think looking into pictures may be a better option than tweaking difficulty.
this game executes the theme really well and the atmosphere is great
great game with good repetitive gameplay. also great menu screens animation at the start and music are great aswell.
Interesting and cool game! I felt sort of claustrophobic since the paths (where I don't die) felt tight - which I think is good because it added tension. And the constant staring/billboarding effect did feel unnerving. It made the game feel creepy and I think the theme came through well!
It was an interesting idea! I got stuck at the gun shop, though. The sound design, idea, and atmosphere of the game were really good!
Love the atmosphere, really immersive. A bit hard but I enjoyed playing!
The environment really transmits an uncomfortable vibe. I wanted to look behind me the whole time!. Good game!
You nailed the atmosphere!
I loved this, great job!
made me feel uneasy, in a good way, well done!
Great vibe, and I like how the puzzle mechanics are introduced progressively. Small downside: enemies are sometimes a bit too quick to kill us, and I would've liked visual feedback on top of the audio to make it clearer.
The ambiance is really nice, congrats !
I really like the idea, I really like the story.
Taking photos or shooting seemed a little samey at the start, but when put in the context of the story I think it's great!
Great atmopshere.
