I'm currently considering changing the cursor, thanks. However, I'm not really planning to add object highlighting. Everyone mentioned missing it, but assigning a function to every object feels like a better approach instead. And lastly, since I forgot to add an ending, the game just ends after 4 people. Thanks for your feedback.
I actually removed it on purpose. To me, giving every object a function feels better than just highlighting them. However, I might make an exception just for the stamps. Thanks for the feedback!
The game is pretty good, but maybe it could be... diversified a bit—adding things like ricocheting weapons, for instance. It’s perfectly adequate for a game jam; this was just an idea for the future, in case you decide to keep working on it. <3
The game is really good. The only thing I felt was lacking was variety. It’s like... I just go up to the enemies one by one and shoot right when they're about to attack. That’s all I do. That’s the part I think could be improved. Otherwise, the game is excellent.
If you have a game that doesn't have a lot of text, I'd like to try it (I've played too many text-heavy games, my brain is like juice). Also, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at my game.
Really appreciate you giving it a try and figuring it out! The initial confusion was totally my bad. So glad you liked the atmosphere and tinkering with the desk, thanks a ton!
Best of luck! I'd love to play the game again once the jam is over.
Also, about the monster spawns: they seem to just appear out of nowhere right now. It might feel a lot better if they broke in through windows or gaps instead. Like, when I leave a room, they could start banging on the glass, and maybe I could barricade/reinforce the windows before moving on. Just tossing some ideas out there, man!
Finally, a weapon in my hands that can actually one-shot enemies! I really liked the game overall, but there were a few things I felt were lacking:
Tone down the cursor assistance/aim assist a bit; it feels a little too heavy, and the direction the character faces is slightly misaligned with where the cursor actually points.
The character movement feels a bit too stiff/clunky.
It lagged pretty heavily for me during the initial load.
Other than that, didn't feel like anything was missing. Great job!
Thinking about adding a few minor details that I had to skip. By the way, did you ever try throwing a bottle at someone? haha. THANKS A TON FOR PLAYING!
First, due to time constraints, I didn't get to add a proper end-game state. If you ring the bell a few more times after the 4th person, nobody shows up—I'll make sure to add this note to the description, so thanks for the reminder! Second, the lack of a definitive outcome was actually an intentional choice. I wanted players to read through the dialogues and draw their own conclusions/theories instead. Thanks a lot for giving it a try!
Right-clicking cancels the current ongoing action/item. (I couldn't get the pen mechanic to work no matter what, so the leftover code just stayed like that, hehe.) The bell only actually works if someone is sitting across from you; that's its main function.
It was really good, but maybe some tweaks could be made to the collisions to make it a bit more player-friendly. I couldn't quite get the hang of the controls (might just be a skill issue on my end, though).
