That was really fun to play and of impressive quality for a game jam. I finished in the last 5 seconds I was screaming hahaha. It definitely has that Among Us vibe noted in other comments, but you adapted it to the theme of the jam in a very smart way. I enjoyed the variety of rooms and the authenticity of the tasks being asked. Music & sound effects added to the immersion. I hope you can turn it into a longer experience!

Thank you so much for your kind words! And for taking the time to play through the game 😇

That’s a huge work of producing art you’ve made! Quite impressive!

I would have loved to have to do something on each task, but understand why you didn’t (time is everything).

The computer task was a good one and adds to the challenge.

Also, I would have loved an animation at the end where the filming room is used.

Great work!

Thank you! I know, some more animations and story would've been great! Sadly time wasn't on my side 😅

But thanks for the kind words on the art, I was feeling a bit disappointed with how it all came out.

This was so much fun to play! I love the Among Us vibes, having to complete tasks. I like that critical things will occur while you are working on your other tasks as well. The art style is very well done and it feels very polished.

A great start! Love the audio design! The artwork also has a fun charm to it. I think the idea is great, but agree that there should be some more variety thrown in. Whether that be more things going wrong rather than just the computer or maybe adding minigames to each task to complete. With that said I actually really enjoyed playing this and the fact that you built this within the time constraints of a jam is super awesome! Good job!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing it! It means a lot to me. 

I really overscopped in the beginning and had to cut out a lot of gameplay/story to be able to finish this in time 😅

Bruh, great stuff you got here. Just need a little more story or incident other than the main computer got shut down. I can see great  efforts were put into the arts.

Developer

Thanks a lot! I would've loved to have some more story, but sadly I just ran out of time 😅

Great concept,! Would want to see the "next night of shift" or levels on future updates if there would be any. Its like Among Us but someone is still sabotaging you HAHA. maybe in the "next night of shift" there would be someone or an AI, messing with the items. I also love how the music changes when you enter a different room.

Thanks so much for taking the time to play it and give feedback! That means a lot to me. 

It would be super cool to have different shifts as you progress, kind of like levels. But for now, it took me absolutely forever to get just the one working lol.
