The interactive environmental investigation, radio interrogation mechanic, and crisp atmospheric graphics make this short detective experience a perfect fit for the jam theme! Having to scan your surrounding base environment to answer radio prompts creates such a clever and hands-on investigation loop.
A few QoL, UI, and audio tweaks to consider for post-jam updates:
- Text Skipping & Replayability: Add a dialogue skip option so replaying after a loss feels smooth, and randomize the radio questions/answers so second runs stay fresh.
- Mouse & UI Controls: Fix the mouse cursor lock issue after pressing ESC so navigation stays fluid, and allow players to back out or cancel a radio choice before committing.
- Audio Sync & Performance: Polish the transition audio between walking SFX and radio triggers to eliminate audio clipping, and optimize performance for lower-end PCs.
Short, sweet, and brilliant concept! If you get a free minute, I'd really appreciate your feedback and rating on my solo jam project as well: /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953523
