Weird, but interesting game as many others have already said! Great take on the theme! My only complaint is that the UI and the mouse indicator need some improvement, but otherwise great job! Excited to see what you make next!

Ok, I said I was gonna play it, but turns out I am a liar. I played a little but this realistic artwork, and the story, and the "horror" part are too much for me, I'm sorry! I was about to run from my PC! Anyway I rated it and I really like the art.. almost as much as it scares me..

Submitted

< is >

that's ok but this game is 100% not Horror I usually make horror but this is a Sci-fi comedy there is nothing scary here but thanks for your honesty hah

IlDiavoloVesteRosaSubmitted3 years ago

If you really assure me that's true, I can continue.. but I'm not going to forgive you if otherwise XD

Honestly on a normal run its jusyt people talking if you find the glitches all that happens is the guy in the mask shows up and explains a bit more it's safe its sci-fi I always do horror so did this as a sci-fi purposely to try something else

Really atmospheric game, the effects were really good and you don't often see video footage in game jams. Especially liked the hologram effect. An issue for me was that the testimonials only played out of my left headphone. Overall cool concept tho

I can't believe somebody made an FMV game! Love the atmosphere, and the writing and acting really sold the dystopian world building. I do wish it was a bit more obvious what you're actually supposed to do, though.

OK, here we got an art house game. I must say it's smth reeeeealy unique. Reminded me of "Her Story"
1. The acting is great. How did u come up with the idea of using a lift to transform people? XD
2. The Narrative design - 10/10 what else can I say? British cyberpunk, guys
3. Theme. Well.... to be honest I didn't get any "the less is more" vibes here :/ (guess I just need 3 more people to understand it)
4. Game design. Same problem. It was hard to understand what the game wants me to do. Click? OK. "Oh, they can tell me more. Alright I'm gonna listen what the middle girl says. Rate D. Am I winning??" - these are my thoughts during the game lol.

Summary: guys, this is a unique and nice idea and seems as a cool game to play, but if I could PLAY it hahha. So maybe u should add some more playable things there :D

SSL - Secret Soviet Laboratory

Thanks for the kind words.

A bit of Background, I was a film maker for 15 years and recently made the jump to games and I put these together using footage I have from films I made and unfinished projects.

So I have to carve a story out of what I have and in this case this fitted with the theme turning 4 people into 1 better person so "Less is More" I also shot some additional stuff this week.

I spent a few nights working on this the trouble was just as it is now i had to edit and apply effects to then render over 50 clips individually then convert them for use with the engine which ate up so much time, so that affected the gameplay element of searching for the Glitched clips to find the Hacker and unravel the truth. I wanted it to play like a normal presentation which it does do if you get D Rank ending. but the trouble is it's not clear enough on how to activate the hacked clips and find the other endings. I was planning to add some glitches to the choice screens to make it more apparent.

if you Play it again here's an easy route to the A Rank ending so you can truly see what i was going for with it. on the 6th or 7th choice pick Helen the girl on the left and if she starts talking about work you have got the right clip it will glitch then pick Sharif the guy on the right and then finally sally the girl in the middle and that should activate the true ending.

In general feedback from yourself and others has been very positive, I release games monthly on Steam and I have just got my hands on a new really powerful FMV engine and I have decided to further this project as I have some footage from unfinished film that will tie into this perfectly.

For a bigger more advanced game.

Thanks Again Please Rate if you haven't already

Well, yea I had some guesses about 4 turning to the better 1.
And I must say it's outstanding experience! Hope you feel good in gamedev now :D I can see huuuuuge work with visuals, that's right!

I love game with good stories and narrative design, so yea this one got my attention hahah. I just didn't know what to do, will try to re-play it the way you said.

And if you haven't played "Her Story" I recommend you. I think it may inspire you and/or will give you some new ideas. Btw how can I find you on Steam?

ItsJustJordSubmitted3 years ago

Not much gameplay but I do like what they've done here!

Thanks it was a big a project to be thrown together on my own in a few days, so i think i could of added a bit more interactivity and made it a bit clearer on how to hit the glitches and get the better endings that tell the story.

I really like the story and visuals. I'd definitely watch a show or movie with this premise. The gameplay is pretty barebones though. If you ever expand this with an interesting gameplay system like Telling Lies, I'd be all over it. As is, I think it might work better as a short film.

Ghost Frame 1D

Hi thanks for your Kind words. This was a pretty big project to tackle in just a few days its very time consuming editing applying effects then rendering out and converting over 50 clips individually, which did take away from some more interactivity i could have added and making it a bit clearer on how to find the glitched clips that lead to the better endings.

For a bigger more advanced game.

Watched through it once and got rank D and saw no glitches. Knowing there's a way to learn more I'm definitely gonna come back to this and play more to figure out the whole story

Submitted

Heart Attack

Excellent glad you enjoyed it try 6th or 7th clip from Helen the girl on the left and you'll def find a glitch around there if she talks about work. and that should initiate a glitch from one of the other 2 next :)

Perfect. Thank you!

That was a trip. Wow. Ended up watching a lot more this than I expected!

Caster's Curse

Thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it. a tip if you want to see a bit more on about the 6 or 7th choice click the clip of Helen the girl on the left you will know you have the right choice if she starts talking about work. that should initiate a glitch and from that one you should be able to find a few more with the other characters. :)

Very unique, but I was kind of confused on what was happening lol

Submitted

Attack of the Blobs

Thanks for playing. I Tried to go for the vibe of a legit presentation you would have to watch in a kind of futuristic environment where this process is real and if you get the D Rank ending it does just that but along the way you will notice some Glitched videos if you follow them you will interact with a mysterious character who has Hacked the Presentation and is trying to inform you of the Truth behind it all.
