How does the game fit the theme?
You cannot trust the fish as there may be anomalies where they change, and you might have reasons to not trust your narrator or surroundings...

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used public domain/copyright zero images of fish in the game, which I also used as reference to draw the actual fish. I also used some royalty free sound effects.

How many people worked on the game?

Like the game reminded me of fnaf. 

Submitted

I liked the gameplay a lot! Also the voice acting was nice touch. The nights felt bit long after the VA stopped talking in my opinion. But it also made it feel like overnight shift with no one (almost no one) in the building.

So long and thanks for all the fish :D

good game!!!

*explodes fish with mind*

Pretty cool idea to combine fnaf with observation duty gameplay. Kinda wish the game didn't tell me the exact camera with anomaly, made the game way too easy I think.

Submitted

I liked the VA, the writing is good (that twist in the end!!), and the use of the mechanics of finding the impostors fit the theme well. Nicely done!

Submitted

very nice artwork! and the va is very neat too, solid entry!!

Submitted

really nice visuals and solid voice acting! congrats on making this solo.

This is a cool game, but i got bored trying to find a fish, maybe if you added some more movement and action to the cameras like a night guard walking around, ai to the fish or smth like that

Submitted

Very cool twist on a well known game. I like it. Instructions on how to play are clear and nicely stylized. Excellent job!

The amount of effort that has been put in this game is unbelievable. It was one of my best experiences during this game jam. The voice acting was spot on, the challenges were spot on, the game length was really great considering the one week deadline. Although I believe the days could be shorter, but You did a fantastic job, doing all of these alone is mad. Great Job

Five nights with the fishes, very cool

Impressive plot and well polished game!

Very well capture similar vibe as the FNAF games, so good job on that. Having the janitor as roaming "treath" was interesting as well. But I'm sure he was just doing their job. 
1 feedback I would give is to maybe open/close cameras on click, when looking for the janitor in my room I accidentally kept hovering over it and it opened camera and it made me panic more :D.
Also some night indicator would have been good, for progress reasons, then it feels like you progress, instead of feeling like it's just a loop.
Great job.

good job! The game is very well polished especially for just 7 days of work

Submitted

You did really great work on this, taking all this on in 7 days by yourself is quite amazing! I loved the art for the fish, I didn't want to blow any of them up xD 

Submitted

voice acting so peak, i destroyed everything

Submitted(+1)

I love the idea!! (I just want to add that blowing up fish unintentionally made me jump). Really good animations in tutorial and voice acting! <3 Really good job and a lot of fun 5/5

I love this game idea! definitely somehting unique! generally the visuals were very cool as well! one thing that personally disturbed me was the camera alarm because it alwasy freaked me out XD but I'm sure it can be disabled somewhere in the settings or by just simply putting the volume down. All in all it's a brilliant game with a lot potential! 

make sure to check this out if interested :) /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953850

Awesome game. I liked the part with the fish. Please make more games.

Really nice concept and implementation. To me personally the intro is too long. It set up and supports the atmosphere, but a crisper, skipable, or text only introduction would be preferable, so you can jump right into the gaming experience.
