Managed to play the game. For those getting fps issues, make sure you have hardware acceleration turned on in your browser. An FMV style game for a week long game jam is incredibly impressive, especially being as polished as this one is. As some others have said, I think the running sequence could definitely be replaced. It stand out as a little strange when compared with the other content you have in the game.

You should be proud.

Developer

Cheers for the tip! Will add it to the bio so more people know about hardware acceleration . You should be proud too! This was our first jam and I think everyone who takes part-- even if they don't complete it-- should be super proud :)

the game is really fun I love the storyline and the puzzles One thing it was hard with was when the monster was chasing you and you needed to kick the keyboard because is pulling you down but I managed to escape after many attempts.     

Developer

Oh nice one! Yeah I found it hard too at first, It was even harder in the first build of the game! but I'm glad you managed to escape... Which ending did you get?

Submitted

the ending I get is I give the keys and I get stuck in the nightmare thanks for the review of my game

Honestly this was great never have I ever seen anything like this in a game jam puzzles incorporated into your real world environment you basically turned yourself into the player . Was honestly so unique if this doesn't win innovation then idk how not . Great game with some great little puzzles. I did have some problems with puzzles aka the door code one it wouldn't let me input had to restart and such and some video scenes or cutscenes over one another caused a minor problem where I had to back out of the puzzle and click the cross to start it but honestly this was great

Developer

Cheers dude!! After reading your comment I had another play through and encountered the same problem with the door code, but after refreshing and playing full screen that helped. Just had a blast on your game too!Really enjoyed it :)

This game was by far one of the most creative and intresting game in a game jam I have ever played.  Puzzles were really well made. Y'all did a great job. When we first played, we thought that there was no way that someone can make this just in a week :)
For the bugs (they are not even important but just want to mention them):
1) As you mentioned, when starting if I instantly click a key, the foreground glitches
2) Sometimes the white door behind or on the left looks clickable but it's actually not? (it seems clickable but nothing happens, nothing indicates that they are locked)
3) The hint on the wall is sometimes not clickable even after the voiceover is finished

Developer

Thank you so much for the comment! :) Really glad you enjoyed playing it! We had a really fun time making it. And also thanks a lot for letting us know about the bugs too. We will try and get them ironed out in the next update. :) 

Great work on your game! We really enjoyed playing it. great fun, and also great graphics too! Awesome work!

This game was AWESOME! It has a great story, fun and challenging puzzles. and everything being filmed gives the game a really good style and feeling. And the bloopers at the end of the game where amazing.
I had a lot of fun playing this game.

Love it. Keep it up♥

Developer
