The voice over is really great, and the game has a interesting atmosphere. The visuals is okay, but it could have been better. I was not able to get very far into the game, both because I not always knew what I was suppose to do, but I believe I also once got stuck in wall. Overall a fin jam game. Well done.

Thank you for playing our game, sorry you couldn't get that far into it, the narrator was supposed to point you in the right direction, we will have to make things clearer in our next jam, thanks for the feedback!

Audio is amazing. The mouse speed is fast but I got used to it. I couldn't understand what to do and I fell out the map too.

Thank you for trying out our game and leaving feedback,  we are aware of some collider glitches unfortunately, hopefully you give our game another go sometime in the future!

Hi, we were wondering if you could replay the game and when transitioning/ opening doors don’t move and that should fix that bug- it would be really appreciated if you you could replay the game with this information, thanks!

This game is incredible. The music perfectly suits the atmosphere of the game. I stuck at the second room bc I could only find out 3 piece of paper. But, I won't play it again. The controls are really wired which make me feel dizzy. If you could improve the controls, it will be a amazing game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind comments and feeback! And sorry it made you dizzy - that certainly is not supposed to happen! :(

I really enjoyed this game. The controls are a little awkward though and I twice fell out of the level when transitioning between rooms. 

Voice work is good. Definitely on theme.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, next time we will physically connect the rooms... our teleporter is not as good as Scotty's :( did you manage to finish the game though?

I wat Jim to explain me how to legally die 3 times.

The atmpsphere of the game is great, I was actually expecting something terrible to happen once the screen went dark.  You shold really fix the FOV values of the camera, since it was difficult to explore the environment. Well done!

Jim is very lucky, he has real life insurance - not like the rest of us. His life is 100% insured. So he keeps getting it back, when he loses it. (That is also probably why he is broke, I think...) :D 

Thanks for the comment on the FOV - sadly none of us here noticed that when we tested it :( but I think the torchlight effect contributes to its perception, so for the next jam we will have to do some tweaking of the FOV values

Hey ! I try to move myself but i have a big 4K screen and the FOV was so little i can't see the instructions on the door at the beginning. I think, you try a new type of game and that's a great challenge, good job man ! Very innovative !

Developer(+1)

There were no instructions on the door? But thank you for playing, how far did you get?

Funny voice acting. FOV was giving me a headache though :( Had a bug after opening the 4 door. I couldn't control my character and the camera was shot out I don't know what happened I might have clipped through the door :)

Can you try to play again, as a lot more content comes after level 1, but thank you for playing and leaving feedback!

The voice acting is pretty amazing. But the fov is a little bit too low. But overall it is a great game!

Developer

thank u for your feedback , yes you are totally right about FOV

Submitted(+1)

The voice acting is so on point :D

Developer

Thank you! We really appreciate that - too kind, too kind!

The Field of View was a bit rough for me but other than that I loved the game. Awesome voices and great ambiance too. Really good job.

Developer (1 edit)

thank u very much ... was really fun making this game :)

Omg it reminded me so much of stanley parable, the voice actor was amazing as well. Half the time I'm just waiting for a jump scare cuz the room was so dark. The low fov actually contributed to the tension since i can't see everything around me. However, the low fov does cause some motion sickness, so its better if you can increased it a bit. also the control sensitivity is quiet high as well.  Overall very spooky game :D

Developer (1 edit)

thank u for your feedback and yes we should have spent more time on FOV , yes stanley parable was an inspiration i guess

Submitted(+1)

I really loved your game! The ambiance is awesome, the music is on point and the loud and sharp sounds are jarring. Lighting was really nice as well! I haven't gotten to the end yet. I will have another bash tomorrow :)

I fell through the game world twice ^_^

One was when I walked towards the doll house and the other was when I transitioned to the third level, had the gun but was outside the level.

Developer

Thanks Sneaky, we noticed one of those two bugs, too, but too late - the other one is a new one, we'll have to look into it, thanks for the report!  PS: after clicking the dollhouse when you get the gun, if you still are moving, you sometimes land in the void... (if you stay still, it works, go figure...). 

Developer

Nice game i had some good Time with it :D. Well done with the Sound Design. But I would be carefull to make the FOV so low. I got motion sickness in 5 Min .

Developer

thank u for your feedback :) , glad you liked it , we will have to spend more time on FOV next jam

Developer (3 edits)

We would love to hear your thoughts on the game, and any general feedback would be great! It would also be great to see any playthroughs of the game, because after playtesting your game a lot, its hard to see it from a fresh perspective! Thanks for clicking on our game ~ everyone at Kestrel Entertainment.

Known bug: When clicking on the doll house or otherwise transitioning between levels, don't move - you might end up in the void, which is NOT actually intended. (Srsly.)
