Now I have nightmares about holes. (:

Developer

Thanks for playing! Sorry about the nightmares but I'm glad I achieved the desired effect.

Good job setting the atmosphere for the game, the ambient sound really sets the mood.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! And thanks for the ambient music from julius_galla.

really clever! I never thought it would scare me, fits the theme very well

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and leaving a comment!

You successfully created a very creepy tone! I felt pretty lost from the get go and wish I knew if I was progressing, but maybe that was intentional!

Developer

Now I think it was a bad idea to start with the little maze. It should be done later so that it does not annoy the player. Thanks for playing!

(+1)

I really like the idea. If you fix all the mentioned stuff the game will be even better. 

Great work.

Developer

Thank you for your comment! I'll do my best!

Fun to play! Awesome Game, really liked it.

Its a Solid entry.

I hope you like my game too! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I watched your game!

Interesting game. The moving mechanics seemed to brake randomly like I couldn't turn left or I would just get stuck. But still well done.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! This is a bug in the web version. Because I didn't use mouse lock. I'll fix it later.

Submitted(+1)

realy good game

i like the idea and the theme but the texturs are a bit not suiting the graphics a lot

great work

i enjoyed

Developer

Thank you! Texturing did not work well enough. I didn't spend enough time on it.

Submitted(+1)

Nice idea to start with. One bug that I noticed is that, when you turned the mouse to the right long enough, eventually you couldn't look right anymore.

Developer

This is because there is no mouse centering. But it only occurs in the web version that I haven't had time to test. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Nice concept and great idea. Don't know if you forgot to lock the mouse or it was a bug, but my mouse went out of the game screen and didn't focus it.


But overall a great work and perfect fitting the Theme. 

Developer

Thank you! Yes I forgot the mouse lock. It will be included in the upcoming fix when the jam is over.

Why do you gotta make it so spooky man; I liked that the holes could rotate on the surface in the caves I thought that was pretty neat.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I tried to make it as scary as possible. The interesting thing about the holes is that if you are not chased, they just move forward, but they seem to be random.

Submitted

Yeah! I recognized that, was like o shi o shi o shi; but at one point I was chasing down a hole rotating upon the surfaces 360 .

Submitted(+2)

Holes moving in a 3D environment, that's a cool concept.

Also like that you're literally in a "hole".

And the sound in background also fit the map well.

It would be better if there were checkpoints, so that players don't have to start all over again after a long walk.

Developer

Thank you for your comment! I'll work on a checkpoint system.

Submitted(+1)

Yeah they tryptophobia warning is very justified. Great take on the theme just yeah you nailed that horror mood with the audio and graphics. Reall appreciated how creepy a hole can be then it's coming at you, seemingly climbing on walls.

Developer(+1)

Climbing holes in the wall was my first idea. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the atmosphere and really wanted to see where the story goes, but the mouse is too sensitive and the controller slows down while turning around corners. I kept losing my direction and got swallowed by holes. I will be looking for an update.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'm planning an update when the jam is over.

Submitted(+1)

Very disturbing take on the theme! Kinda felt like playing those SCP games. The controls were a little strange, but it seems like you already are aware and trying to fix the mouse sensitivity issue. Those issues are expected anyway on games only made in a week. Great job!

Developer

I haven't played SCP games yet but I came up with similar ideas. I'm still new to this genre. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I have 3D Vertigo and cannot play for a long time. It has a unique concept and atmosphere.

Developer

Yes, it is possible to get dizzy from this. I'll try to improve my look system.  Thank you for trying out my game!

Submitted(+1)

It was a really interesting game with the mechanic of defeating holes by throwing grenades into it. The didnt really understand the puzzles even though I finished them.

Developer

Thanks for playing. I haven't had the time to make the game intuitive so I'm happy that others can solve it.

Submitted(+1)

Thank you, I got trypophobia thanks to you xd, it was fun chasing by holes

Developer

I'm really sorry. I deliberately used disgusting texture for a more frightening effect. :)
Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Nice work finishing! i felt like the mouse was a bit too sensitive for my taste. But you got some catchy screenshots.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! There is adjustable mouse sensitivity just not added to the options menu. I focused on getting ready on time and forgot to do it. XD

Submitted(+1)

Your game is really scary! I think you did a good job for the atmosphere. I had a bit a problem for the orientation (sometimes I went backward by mistake). Otherwise, I can see the "Holes" theme :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yes, the environment could be more diverse. I'll try to improve it.
