I liked the game! The visuals reminded me a lot Obra Dinn. Good sound design on it. Great job!

thanks to the developers for Very good game with very good idea. But it's some stressful for eyes.

lol my tab closed sometimes due to using CTRL to kneel and accidentally pressing forward W. The art is great to look at, yet hard to see, it kinda puts a strain in the eye. I didn't manage to finish because Im having a headache :( Ill come back later.

Good work here.

Loved the graphics, as mentionned by others, very ObraDinn-esque. Feels are great, I will have to admit I did not finish it, I have a lot of troubles with horror games.

Same comment I left on another game: put this in WebGL if you can!! So many people will miss this gem!

Good work to the team, congrats. You can be really proud of what you accomplished!

We used vwise for the audio, only till the end we noticed it wasnt possible to build webGL with it, so it was two options: rebuild the whole game with a different audio system or just roll with it, we went for the latter and learn from our mistake, prob not gonna use it again. Unless future changes allow you to do exactly that. Was a great system tho and real ease of use, such a shame.

Apparently they have a specific version that is allowed to build webGL, but it requires a request by mail, which went out around the deadline, we just haven't heard back from them yet, if we do we will throw out a webGL version straight away, till then fingers crossed.

btw no shame in not finishing, it just means we did a good job on our horror part.... right? :P
Anyways thank you for your valuable feedback!

All right I understand it better !! That really sucks, but you definitely took the right decision, no time to remake everything just for a simple package :/

Ended up rebuilding the audio system to get the web version out!

Wow, I can't believe that this theme had someone attempt the 2 colors in 3D!

Reminds me of the "Return of the Obra Dinn" graphics, very impressive!

Almost like a horror version of that game.

Once the lights turned off, the palette shift was brilliantly executed, with the pulsating echo!

One of the best uses of the theme I have seen!

Great work on this game! :D

Yeah we were a bit crazy to attempt a 1-bit 3D game, but was fun. We actually used 2 shaders here one from Madalaski A obra dinn shader remake he made on YT tutorial(Works on the camera) and another was one our programmer Recessive came up with, wich was applied to the objects, together they worked really amazing together. Wish I knew more about shaders, this was certainly a eye-opener moment for me as mostly 3D artist. Must admit we got a bit lucky that it worked so well off the bat, without any issues and I mean the result is insane & very unique. Thank you for the feedback, really helps. <3

Love the art style, feels scary as

Developer

Thank you glad you like it, gave it my all. <3

This is quite literally scary!! Pulling this off with 1-bit 3D style is difficult but in this game, it's brilliantly executed!  

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! I was the artist of the team, was my first team experience but a delight. Was not easy to make it work in 1-bit, but tried my best and the result speaks for itself, by far the hardest challenge to date for me, made like 50 models in about 3 days, was insane. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the amazing feedback! <3

That's really insane! Great work. It's well deserved. This can be easily made into a full game with some tweaks.

I played a few entries from this game jam that had a horror theme, but this one actually felt scary to me. Great job.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for positive feedback! Hope we gave you a good scare :)
