For me, the hardest part of the game was trying to start it. So here's a little guide for you guys: you need to pick up the cassette using the left mouse button, and then use the scroll wheel to insert it while still holding left click.
Other than that, the game is amazing! Its easy to play, the controls are simple, and all the hints are clear and convenient enough to follow. I like the amount of subtle horror elements throughout, it really makes you want to find out what's going on in those strange cities.
This game looks amazing and it was very fun to play! It's clear that a lot of effort was put in.
Game looks so polished and beautiful. Amazing work! I have a bit of a skill issue though, took me a while to figure out how to insert the tapes haha
Fantastic work!
Did you know, if you don't read the instructions and just toss a tape off to the right, you can't start the game until you refresh and read the instructions? Lol. If you take this any further, I'd have those tapes respawn if off screen, just for sanity (mine). Interesting little game. Good game all around, I'd say. Was a neat way to present the theme. Good job!
It was really interesting! So many details were done really well, and I really enjoyed it. Great job!
Love the art, it is so clean and immersive! I love how a lot of the things around me were interactable!
Love the main menu with the tapes! It took me a bit of time to notice how to check the names, after that, it was fun to get through each caller, detecting the lies or not. The atmosphere was also really nicely put together cool game overall!
loved the atmosphere of this so much!
This has incredible amount of detail and polish! The menu with the tapes and all the stuff you can click in the background just for fun. The audio design was top notch and made feel like I was in the radio shack.
I had bit trouble figuring out when the weather was cloudy and what the which level of clouds meant but I got it on my 2nd play through! I can’t think anything obvious to improve on so excellent overall work !
Inserting a cassette to start the game? What a sweet idea. I loved the 3D models, the work environment looks fantastic. Music tracks are great too, especially loved having multiple options to change the music. The gameplay was also easy to understand. Congrats!
really cool and original game.
visuals are beautiful, and music's one of the best i've heard so far on the jam. also the sound effects for the dialogues are phenomenal.
congratulations to the whole team! you work amazingly together and this is truly a polished product.
Presentation on this one is amazing... Great take on the theme, overall awesome game. Parabéns!
solid 5/5 for me. This was a real game with the most accurate take on the theme. Congrats on your well polished entry. I fell in love with the visuals and the depth of immersion as soon as I saw the menu. Reminded me of SUPERHOT haha! Nothing much to say except suggesting you to make an actual commercial game out of it with a deep story. Even add some threating phone calls! I'm looking forward to play such version of the game. Good luck!
A really well-polished game! The main menu itself already teaches how to move the cassettes around, the art style and the sound design was good! Well done!
This was so epic! This kind of reminded me of killer frequency with the way you have calls to answer and what goes on air or not. The assets and setting design are so polished, and I loved the attention to detail, with the maps, weather, and radio. It took me a bit to know how to move the cassettes but the page description you had was really helpful. The sound design was impeccable too. Amazing work to you all!
Reading the instructions on how to insert the tape was the hardest boss in the game lol
