I really liked the reloading mechanic, that was cool and unique. Its practically a spooky on rails shooter. One thing that was a bit frustrating was not being sure if an enemy could be shot depending on where I was looking.
Definitely worth polishing after the jam, I'd love to see this developed further. Good work!
Oh this is very charming. I like the almost carnival arcade mechanic in how you aim - I REALLY appreciate that I don't have to be more precise than looking in the correct direction. It works really well. Nice bits of story, though I wish when I complete one day it would jump me to the next automatically instead of going back to the main menu. Nice spooky atmosphere!
quite hard and challenging, nice mechanics (reload, enemy design). was the guy walking 'behind' me the mimic I was supposed to shoot?
felt quite long (level 5) but hard as in good arcade difficulty. would need more polishing but very good start!
Ye, the Uninvited appear in the story of day 4, it will walk besides you, when you shoot, it makes a loud sound and lures other monster to you (so you gotta shoot them when its a good time), but if you dont shoot it, it will follow you to the bunker and lose the game.
Anyways, thanks for playing! I will polish and finish this game in future :D
this was very fun to play i liked it
well done thank u for the game
I liked the atmosphere, it reminded me of the movie "The Mist". The monsters turned out quite creepy thanks to your visual style. Great idea with the reloading — it makes the levels really tense when you know the spiders are coming in hordes.
I really like the concept, and I played up to level 4. Unfortunately, I got stuck there because I couldn't figure out how to avoid the trees. No matter what I do, I always get attacked. But up until that point, I had a lot of fun playing!
Theres an intel in day 3 telling you how to beat the Watcher (the tree), you should always keep your eyes on it, you can ignore it but dont do that for too long.
Also thanks for playing! I will check yours later
A very atmospheric horror game! The reload mechanic was really interesting and cool! The slow and steady approach through the fog kept the tension up the whole way!
The mimics were horrifying and pretty much first time I turned around I instictively fired and suffered the consequences :')
All and all great job!
I really enjoyed the idea of having a shooter where the player can't move backwards. This can definitely scale up to very interesting gameplay in the future. One thing I'd add, just to make things a bit more engaging for the players, is definitely adding more enemies in the beginning levels!
Pretty hardcore! The revolver reload mechanic where your speed depends on how fast you press the buttons is super cool.
I really liked the visuals of the game, the reload sequence was also pretty cool and unique. It could be a little faster of course, especially in final levels it felt too slow. Also I liked how each level had a new threat and you should read the intel to defeat the enemy. Unfortunately I got homekick in level 4 but the description was in level 5. Pretty good job
Thanks for playing! And thks for the feedback, I will try to make final levels shorter, or give player something else to do when theres none spawning. Also, the Homesick walking by is supposed to be a very rare occurenece in first days, only till day 5 you discover the intel about it
Keep it up bro!
It's a cool and very hardcore game. It took me a long time to complete. It was cool. I liked the mechanics of shooting and reloading. It was also cool to see the QTE mechanics! I hope that you will continue to develop the project! Good luck to you XD
Thank you for playing all 5 days! This is my first project and I will update more in the future
I liked it (: It reminded me of the game - into the dead. I really liked the reloading feature of the revolver. I didn't like that the game was quite long. Thanks for your game. Good luck!
Thanks for playing! This game is actually inspired by into the dead, fnaf and the movie "the mist" :)
The game is enjoyable, I love the the art style especially the art game cover
This looked interesting, but there's no Web build.
Yea I will figure how to do that in future :b
I enjoyed this. Love the reloading mechanics and the different monsters. Some of the monsters like the tree one, as soon as I spot it it attacks me immediately, giving me no time to attack. Would love more environment assets but overall really welldone getting this game out.
Yea my friend said the watcher (the tree) is too weak, so I buff the ignore time to 5 seconds. To counter it, yougotta keep looking at him, but if any creaturesspawn in other lanes, you can sometimes look at him to reduce the ignored time. Thanks for playing my game anyways
So long(((
Hello, I didnt know that they let you fix bugs in your game, so I got the chance to update and fix UI, plus adding story to it
I hope you can check my game again if possible, I would love to see you win all 5 days :D
It's rough but does have alot of potential, the main issues I had with the game currently is some of the monsters (namely the eyeball tree) didn't give good tells on what they do and the first monster you encounter might be a bit too aggressive for a first enemy.
