Man this game is sooo unique! i really found the story and game  loop to be so refreshing, the sound design and music are SO well done, I feel like it really sets you in the mood, and I love how it evolves alongside the narrative of the game. Really amazing job guys, congratulations!!

Wow! Gorgeous graphics and immersive atmosphere. Gameplay was fun. I did seem to get stuck on Day 5 at 2/3 missions done (I received the supplies received message each time but the day wouldn't end), not sure if I just hit the end of the story content or a bug. Otherwise fantastic game though!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! I believe you just encountered a fake signal. It's an intentional design choice we did to subtly introduce the entity and their powers, so it might looked like a bug on a first glance. You can totally avoid it to progress the story, and we put in pretty subtle hints both in sounds and in visuals when you found the signal.

Holy wow this is good.
This is quite an impressive little game both in and other of the context of being made in a week.

Has to be a favorite so far.

Would be happy to see this get put on newgrounds or something.

Developer

yoooo thank you so much for your kind words! the idea for this game has been in our mind for quite some time, so we just need to execute it in a week, and it turned out quite ok. :D

Really cool! Nice graphics and sound design.
I just would add the possibility of sending the wrong request, thus maybe getting a warning or even get fired, since their lives depend on me. The text getting decoded accordingly to the signal strength is a nice touch. The rotation of the knobs with the mouse is a bit tricky.
Good work :)

Developer

thank you for the feedback and for playing our game! we will try to incorporate it if we ever worked on this game again (lol). Again, glad you enjoy our game!

quite simple game loop, but a very well-polished game! the last days are quite eery.

had to adjust to the handling of the knobs after years of Ableton Live though lol

the soundtrack deserves a SoundCloud upload!

Developer(+1)

thank you for playing our game to the end! and our composer also really glad you enjoy our soundtrack!

funny thing is he's also said the knob act weirdly at first before i tell him how to control it "properly", i guess its musician quirk with knobs lol.

Again thank you for playing!

Probably one of my favorite games of the jam so far. I thought it was so cool how you used the sine waves and its extremely satisfying to match them up, im really curious to how you programmed that. You also nailed the terminal look! - Also my laptop is touch screen and it worked so perfectly for this game! i dont know if you intended that or not but it was fun (^: 

Day 4 onward was so eerie, I was sad when i lost my buddy and the last day was so cool with the creepy signals. 

Developer

thank you so much for playing our game! glad you enjoyed it too! also, we dont really intend for that but it is a nice surprise, thank you godot engine!

It is a bit repetetive but getting the hang of it was fun. Also very nice done with the artwork and the small little conversations between shifts. Overall very solid entry!

Developer

thank you so much for the feedback and for playing our game, we will try to improve it if we got the time! ^^

I dont even know, i might not be the brightest but i am NOT good at this lol. Like it quite a lot, especially the aesthetics. Nice job!

Developer

it is quite difficult for some people, and we might need to lower the threshold, but thank you for playing our game! ^^

I really like the main gameplay mechanic, it is really satisfying and tuned to a very nice level of precision. It was really satisfying to decipher the first message and send them resources - there is also a lot of tension because you do not know what to expect or what you will hear at any point.

Developer

thank you so much for your kind words! glad you liked our humble mechanic ^^

The story and art style are amazing! The only downside is that doing the same thing for a long time can get a little repetitive, but despite that, I played it all the way to the end! Great work!
