How does you game fit the theme?
The player slowly finds out that they are not alone through environmental actions
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

the keyboard sounds :0
Hahah glad you liked em
The only problem I found is that you can't get a super coconut tree of ice cream. Despite of that the game is great, good job!
Perhaps in post-jam hotfix :P
Holy crap, what a rollercoaster! At first, I was slightly disappointed by it being a text-based RPG (although the presentation and sounds were great), then I thought it would be some type of Welcome To The Game type of game where you have to keep an eye out for an intruder outside the window (please do confirm whether or not the in-game character ever shows up outside the window, I tried for a bit but couldn't see anything different), but soon realized what was going on.
<Spoilers ahead!>
When I ended up shooting "myself", I had to go back and play through the game again to see what would happen if I didn't get the gun. The second time around I started noticing the extra details, such as the sound of glass shattering when I threw the rock, the sound of the dog being shot, the prybar forcing the door open, etc. Details I didn't really pay attention to the first time around.
This is a really cool take on the theme! You aren't alone, cause you're creeping up on yourself... But you are your own enemy, so you'd rather be alone.
My one honest criticism would be that it's too long for a jam. I am so glad I stuck it through and ended up playing the whole thing, but I contemplated quitting several times early on when I felt either stuck or that this was all the game had to offer. So the worst part, in my opinion, is that it takes too long to get to the amazing stuff.
Overall, I feel like this is one of the best entries I have seen so far - granted that the player reaches the stage where the game gets good. REALLY good job!
Thanks for the detailed feedback!
To confirm: the window does not show the character as they would always be obscured by the van, though that van is shown to help hint towards the core idea for players who remembered the headlights and description / map at the start. It also makes people a bit nervous :)
It's good you went through it twice where the details got to shine through, I'd imagine most people who played did not.
For length I am curious how long your playthrough was and what the major sticking points where. Given more time we would have likely incorporated more room-game interaction based puzzles. though I guess that would have extended it farther. Will try to keep in mind for future jam submissions.
Damn thats a pretty cool submission!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing audio and visuals! Really cool idea, as well as execution. The ending got me. Good job!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
The sounds, graphics, idea and the execution are top notch. What seemed like an ordinary text adventure, quickly subverted my expectations of a boring and cliche game to a completely unique and in a way, horrifying experience. It is easily one of the best entries for the jam.
Glad that you stuck with it and it was worth it for you :)
And thank you for playing!
Thats an amazing graphics, good game idea
Thank you :)
really cool graphics
Thanks! :)
Really good game! and a nice idea ! i like the graphics alot
Thank you :)
This is probably the best game I have seen so far, The visuals are great, it has that "Welcome to the game" where you feel you could be pulled away from the screen at any moment, the audio is great. Ngl i didn't finish it because i was too scared. I really dont like the feeling above. I feel like that is probably all you need to hear but seriously great job.
Would appreciate it if you checked out my game, not as good as this but it's something.
Thank you for the nice words on it, even though you didn't finish it hahah :)
Glad you did enjoy what you played though, but if it's any reassurance I don't like cheap jumpscares so the game doesn't have any of those. Regardless, thank you for playing!
Awesome work! Reminds me of Inscryption which I absolutely loved!
Thank you! The general world interactions were definitely inspired by it and is what drove me to create those systems in the way they were
This game is great, feels super polished and is a very unique take on the theme. Great work!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
dude this game is really POLISHED .. I love it :D
also if you can try my game and give me advice it will make my day!
Thank you :)
SOOO polished this looks so professional?! i LOVE the graphics + audio design, plus the help command was very useful when typing stuff out. sooo interesting :) i loved it!
Thank you! We wanted to limit our scope with the game so we could really polish up as much as we could, glad you enjoyed it!
Very well polished and amazing ambience! Loved the atmosphere and graphics!
Glad you liked it :)
Incredibly polished, well put together horror game. Has some great atmosphere with great sound work, but also a really appealing visual style. The implementation of graphics into the text based adventure elevates the whole game up a level. Great work!
Thank you for the nice words :)
Glad you enjoyed the experience we made and the graphics / audio!
That game is really really cool ! I loved it ! Loves the style of old hardware, keyboard sounds, and other details ! Very good job !
Glad you enjoyed it! We wanted to get the audio as good as we could with the limits of WebGL
Took me all the way back into that brain wrinkle. Love how you utilized text for the map. Sfx and music were spot on, great job!
Thank you!
This game is really cool! First it seemed boring but then it kept me. Audio was very good, atmosphere( little room with details) , narrative... I loved it.
Glad you kept on and played the rest and had a good time! :)
I loved it! Been a looong time since I saw another text adventure game, nostalgia is real xD. The art and sound design are superb, and the adventure itself is great. Amazing job!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
