[specs]

• mac mini m2, 32gb ram, 12 cores
• windows download, played .exe via GameHub emulator

[overall/first impressions]

• atmospheric first person walking sim, decently unsettling but not intuitive. would def like to see a more polished version with the bugs ironed out!

[major bugs/issuses]

• if you choose the checkpoint item in the pause menu before you actually hit a checkpoint, it sends you hurtling through the floor into an eternal fall with no way to quit besides force quitting the entire game/window.

[intro]

• no animatic

[audio]

• good ambience/atmosphere, minimal sound bed music. the braam sound effect got pretty annoying in the opening room from triggering like 4-5 times in a row for no apparent reason.

[art/visuals]

• very polished assets/environment for the most part, though some objects stuck out badly (the barred door in the opening level area)

[customization/accessibility]

• (besides tab to open inventory) zero in-game instructions, controls, settings (negative)
• pause menu with checkpoint

[gameplay/handling/controls]

• first person collection/puzzle horror game with traps. WASD movement, space to jump, shift to run. 1-2-3 to switch active item but no icons for items except flashlight.
• movement extremely janky. couldn’t turn around to the left, was forced to turn all the way around to the right in order to get things in my interaction area.
• not intuitive at all when it comes to how to do any mechanics. i had to guess that the flashlight was the number 1 on to equip and F to turn on.
• battery drains not at all until you pickup more batteries, then drains extremely fast. items do not persist.

This game very spooky and looks pretty good. I did have a bit of trouble at the start, since it wasn't very clear what was interactable but i eventually figured it out. Since your items persist through checkpoint restarts, i kept eventually running out of batteries to use which it hard to get around the enemies and progress. I found it really satisfying making the gasoline trap and blowing up the evil skinny entity man across the hallway haha.

The developer made a walkthrough for those who can't play his game on a PC. I thought the game assets were polished, and the music fit the setting. The crafting system wasn't as polished as the the rest of the assets in the game though. The monster was scary, and I liked the animations, but there was no background story for how he came to be there. The fact that this game was made in 15 days is very impressive.   

I think I experienced some bugs with the monsters. After the first time they killed me, they couldn't kill me anymore and just followed me around. I could also walk through a lot of the closed doors. I like the monster and I like the crafting system though

The game is really scary! I love the vibe it gives me. You did a really great job!

Did you made this in 15 days?

its really goood. given the time window. It needs a bit of polish - and it can definitely pushed to steam!!

it was really scary. (the 2nd corridor iykyk) 🥶🥶

Cool game! The environments has a really nice vibe into it and I felt a bit scared playing it which is good. I do feel like the environments needs a bit more polish but its completely understandable in a game jam setting since this is such an ambitious game. The exploring kinda gets confusing at times but I got there! Overall, the game needs more polish but at the current stage, its quite well-made! Great work!

I wish there was a Web build.
