Very cool game! I love your take on the theme and the atmosphere is fantastic. Awesome work!!
graphics give me little reminding of little inferno. nice work!
Okay, it took a couple of tries, but I get what ya'll are going for and I like the idea. It's a 60 Seconds! meets Phasmaphobia. My thoughts (while keeping in mind that this is a game jam):
So, outside of the bugs, I think the biggest upgrade to the game is giving the player more agency in their choice (60 Seconds! has some simple but solid methods in how they achieve this). Obviously, it's a game jam, and there's never enough time to do everything you want. What you have is impressive, and you chose to keep things within scope and that's a talent not many of us have. Great job overall, and glad you submitted this great work!
thanks for the amazing review!
everything you've said is on point, especially on the player agency part :) it definetly needs alot of work
You're welcome! But really, this is a fantastic start if you decide to take it further. Good luck on future endeavors!
That is a superb idea for the theme. I really liked this.
I totally agree with KittenPowerLord comments. The overall aesthetics, sound, and first introduction are great. They feel like a final game. However, the actual gameplay was too much "read small text". So I didn't go very far. I would love to see someones play through though. Also awesome thumbnail.
I love the take on the theme, the art style was really great!
Fantastic take on the theme, loved my play through. The art style, the suspense, the atmoshpere. Top tier, Well Done!
The Countdown Begins ⏳
Wow the art on this one is amazing! The games mechanics are also really good and had no issues when i went through. good job!
I'm amazed. All of this in 7 days? Gives me phasmo vibes with the types that you have to guess. Everything was on point from the graphics to the audio to the game design I really liked it!
Really lovely short game! Graphics were well done, audio was nice, monsters were very subtle at first.
Well done!
Nice job! The game is tailored perfectly around the theme. Great art style too!
Phasmophobia meets Fnaf, I presume.
Fantastic idea, I like it!
Truly one of the doors ever made.
Very noice tho was really buggy for me at some times whereby spacebar wouldnt progress dialogue so i didnt get far
This was interesting to play. I died but that's cause I couldn't figure out how to say that I knew what it was.
I'll start with the good parts - the graphics, music, atmosphere, etc are absolutely brilliant! I am a big fan of the artstyle and soundtrack! Also, as an SCP fan aswell, the theme is well done, and overall the idea to identify the correct threat is really interesting!
Now for the less good parts - although the idea, as I said, is great, execution suffers a bit - which is understandable, since there is a time limit, but still. The whole game is pretty much spamming research and eradicating monsters/doing therapy when needed. Though I still did enjoy it, the aspect of identifying one of multiple possible threats is that brilliant!
Also the dialog UI is kinda buggy and not-polished - speech frames are immediately skipped, without extra visual clues, pressing Space on options dialog selects the first option, it is possible to trigger terminal and pass time in a single click.
Hope that this review is helpful, and please check out my game as well :)
It's great!
Cool game, atmospheric, good job!
Great game! I've never really tried text based games but this was fun and interesting.
