cool game! definitely has a spooky and creepy feel to it with the dark lighting and ambient sounds. keeping the room minimalist added to that as well (and in an indirect way to the theme as well!) It is a bit buggy though, as most of the commenters pointed out with the main menu screen after ending the game and the letter being blank at some points. I do think it would have a lot of replay value if the bugs weren't there, especially since there are multiple endings. Overall, good work!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Thank you for playing, as well as the feedback! Funny fact, when adding the Audio Source in Unity the sound got super distorted so that's why it sounds so creepy! Apologies about the bugs you accounted, but I'm glad to hear that that's all the bugs that have been found, I plan on going back after the jam and making a big-ol update to fix them!

Really creepy game

As others already said, it's hard to tell how hungry you are.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'll make it a little bit more visual next time, as there was supposed to be a hunger meter, but we replaced it with a vignette, in the end, to suit it more to the game jam theme, but we'll turn the vignette dial way up in the next update!

Cool game ;p The text is sickening sometimes, very well done. If i had to give some feedback it would be that its a lot of reading and im not that into that ;p This kind of game could be very good with spoken nerrative, but thats really hard to do offcourse. Good job :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! We'd love to attempt some kind of voice over in the next update, if anything we'll make it easier to read overall, thanks :)

This is a really cool concept and I think the visuals are amazing. Small details like how you did all the paper textures etc make a big difference and look very professional!

A couple of really small issues I found:

- Once I'd died and returned to the main menu I couldn't select any of the buttons to start again. 

- If you read the letter after the first level it just comes up blank.

Perhaps you could add the current hunger and how much hunger the current dish will give you to help you make decisions more easily? But the unknown is kind of part of the theme as well so that's fair! Really thought-provoking idea, nice work! And the music was very haunting!

Cheers

Developer

Thank you for playing! Those bugs will definitely be fixed in the next, I forgot to unlock the mouse cursor when in other screens away from the main game! I'll make the hunger more visual next time, as there was supposed to be a hunger meter, but we replaced it with a vignette to keep with the theme, but we'll make that way more dramatic when we get back to the game after the jam is over! Thanks :)

Loved the setup and setting, but I quickly found myself confused on if I was doing the right thing to progress. Some more UI elements, or feedback on the notes i'm reading would be helpful! Love the creepy sounds too.

Developer

Your feedback is highly appreciated! Unfortunately, there's no way of getting a good ending, other than surviving, as I wrote an incorrect variable and didn't double-check that, but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! We do plan on adding some audio feedback for the letters, but we tried to keep the UI to a minimum to fit the theme, but we'll consider adding some more once the jam is over. Thanks :)

Criticism

- It's hard to tell how much hunger you have left, the game spoke of a hunger bar but I could not seem to find it

Support

- The story and overall concept is extremely innovative and a fresh perspective on the theme

Other notes

- Did your team make the sounds or were they premade?

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing! Apologise about the hunger meter, there was supposed to be a letter not mentioning the hunger meter as we replaced it for a black vignette to keep the UI to a minimum, but we'll definitely make the vignette more dramatic to make up for it in the next update! Thanks for the comment about the narrative, we were actually inspired by a Spanish Netflix movie called 'The Platform', I'd highly recommend checking it out! Unfortunately, we didn't make the audio, but when adding it to Unity's Audio Souce, It did heavily distort the audio, so that defiantly helped with our overall spook theme. Thanks :)

very well made

Developer

Thank you!

It has a very interesting story.

When you lose and go back to the main menu the cursor does not show up.

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback, and my apologies about the mouse bug, I forgot to unlock the mouse when the player is back in the start screen!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool concept, it was interesting to watch the story progress from my choices

Developer

Thanks for the comment! The narrative was actually inspired by a Spanish Netflix movie called 'The Platform', but we decided to have more fun with it by adding the letters and random food each day!

Submitted(+1)

I love the differents endings! There is a bug, and when the game ends and takes you to the menu, your mouse doesnt show up and you have to restart the game to play the game.

Developer

Thanks! We're glad you liked it, we tried to make it have multiple endings depending on your hunger, we'll work to make these more obvious in the future. We noticed this bug very close to the closing date so we didn't have much time to fix it, but it's definitely high on the list of updates after the jam is over.

Many thanks for checking it out, much appreciated! :)

Submitted

No problem :)

Just played your game! Definitley a different take compared to other games I've played before.

A few things bugged me, though.

  1. The letter said something about a hunger screen, but there was no screen that I could use to look at my hunger.
  2. Even though I took lots of food for myself (3 / 5 meals), I did not hear anything from the floors below.
  3. (this one is nitpicking on a high level) While reading the letter and menu, I'd recommend locking the camera.

Overall a really nice game!

Hey thanks for checking it out! 

Agreed we had an updated letter removing that mention as we decided to remove the hunger bar last minute in place of a vignette to try show the hunger but didn't get a chance to update the letter.  The noises ended up being randomly generated to save on time, in the future, we're aiming to have it get louder/react to specific letters etc. And good point, we hadn't thought of that, we'll have to make a note of it as we definitely plan to add more floors, days and levels.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Nice game! I have seen the movie the game is based off of (a good movie btw) and this is an intresting recreation. Keep up the good work!

Developer(+1)

Ah awesome! It's a pretty cool movie so it was hard not to be inspired by it. Thanks for your kind words, we hope to expand on it more after the jam :)

Great atmosphere! 
The art is clean and pretty.
I would love to see this game extended into a full game in the future.

Developer

Thank you! We hope to work more on the dialogue and endings in the future, and add some more days! We're glad you liked it so much :)

Submitted(+1)

Amazing atmosphere! congrats on a good game!

Developer

Thank you! It had been a while since I coded a game so I'm glad you enjoyed playing it so much!

Submitted(+1)

It got a good atmosphere. And I really like that concept with food going down. You could make a good Bradbury-like story of it.

Developer

Thanks for playing as well as the Bradbury comparison! Our narrative was loosely based off of the Spanish film 'The Platform', but we we add additional material we'll have to look into Bradbury to really amp up the horror!

Great atmosphere, nice challenge great story! The administration seem scary AF! I got to day 5. repeatedly haha.

Developer

Thanks for the comment and thanks for playing! We plan to add more days after the game jam is over, so hopefully, we can make the admin team even more terrifying.

Cool game. Great gameplay. The art is cool. Good job! Keep it up!

Please check my game as well ;)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! DsFrostfall was in lead in the 2D art and I was lead of the 3D art and we'll keep at it after the game jam!

Submitted

You guys did a good job! It’s great and I wish you all the best!

Love the idea of this one. Super unique take. Screw floor number 1 more for me!

Developer

Thank you! We do plan on adding more content to the game after the game jam so we'll attempt to mess up the floors more, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Atmosphere is really well set. Love all the detail. Super dark interpretation of the theme. DO NOT PLAY IF HUNGRY. EVERYONE WILL DIE!!! 

Developer

Thanks for playing and so glad to see that you're super immerse by the story, we plan on adding more days to the future, so who knows it could even be played on a full stomach ;)
