Pretty nice game. We also thought about narrator texting smth at some point, but we got what we got.
Not talking about us here. A bit dead visuals and glith-feeled physics feels a bit like a source game, and the narrator doing a great job here. Thx for game)

Good job on the entry here! I had no idea what was happening but the audio and guidance just kept me going due to curiosity alone! Red/green light was a fun minigame experience.

Nice take on jam theme! Game reminded me old times, when there was no online updates for games, and if there was bug in some game, you will not get the patch and used to live with that. The only chance to complete was to find how this bug can be avoided or find another bug, that will help you.

Gave me backrooms and Exit8 vibes. Loved it. Also love the narrator!

I was shocked when I opened the game and there was a real human voice. I played the game and find it funny and I loved the mistery of it. I was curious of what is going to happen next. Loved the glitch effects and the way the map was changing. Cool approach for this game! Well made! I hope I fixed some bugs.

Game was really fun, loved the narration it really added a lot to the game! Felt like my programmer friend telling me "Don't worry, that was totally intended and not a bug". I wish there was more to the story!

Submitted

In the end it was shallow experience that didn't have bad ideas, but they all feel like they could have been more.

I liked the narrator who immediately sets the mood! 

I just had a bit of trouble understanding the green light/red light lol. Good job!

Very unique game! I wasn't able to pick up the boxes as they just disappeared as soon as I tried to pick them. The green light puzzle was great! Nice submission for the jam!

Developer

Hello! if the jam allows, I’m gonna try to make it so the maze resets the boxes position if it goes off the map or slides out :3 Sorry about that! :sob: Thanks for playing!

Cool game, next time make the "scremer" less violent please ahah

For tips, when you make a horror game, there are many things to consider when designing your 3C. Do also SFX which is really respond to the player’s action. the user must be immersed in your game so that any errors like texture or glitch can be fatal to the game

Developer

Thank you!! I'll remember these for next time! I love horror games (making and playing them) but I’m lowkey not very good at sound design or really 3D lol, so this feedback is awesome sauce! Really appreciate it!
