The apocalyptic atmosphere, gorgeous pixel art portraits, CRT screen effects, and Phasmophobia-inspired parasite deduction mechanics make this game a total masterpiece for a jam submission! The music and visual polish create a top-tier post-apocalyptic shelter vibe that instantly pulls you in.
A few tutorial, UI, and QoL adjustments for your post-jam update:
- Tutorial & Mechanics Clarity: Pause or slow down time while the tutorial is open so players don't lose survivors on a static screen, and explicitly clarify that a survivor must match *both* symptoms of the identified parasite to be the host.
- Interactive Affordances & Controls: Highlight or outline clickable monitor elements, arrows, and keyboard buttons so players know what can be interacted with right away, and add two-way navigation buttons.
- Inspection Logic & Death Feedback: Disable checking symptoms on dead characters to avoid confusion, and add a quick audio/visual notification whenever a new victim dies.
Genuinely incredible production value and execution! If you get a free minute, I'd really appreciate your thoughts and rating on my solo jam project as well: /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953523
