The look and feel of this one is strong. Great use of atmospheric sound + really like the notepad / flashlight combo.
Sadly got stuck on some of the cardboard boxes behind the cars near the egg so had to restart, this was on 1.0.2

I've seen some issues with clipping into objects and getting stuck before, how did you manage to get stuck? Did you run into it? In that case, crouching and moving away from the surface you're stuck on usually helps. I'll try to fix that issue when I have more time on my hands
Thanks for the review :)
I spent absolutely ages wandering around and I guess I got unlucky not being able to find the trigger boxes, more player guidance or a more linear map would go a long way.

Udder Chaosatmosphere was good and i liked where the story was going but it was just too large a map for what you were trying to do. all the extra space doesn't really serve a purpose and since there's no direction on what 'leaving' would mean i ended up just sort of slowly trundling across the entire back half of the map. still, even though that sounds like a big critique you wouldn't even need to move what's there, just limit where the player can go a lot more. i think you've got something cool otherwise but that really does bring it down.

ZERO-TWOThanks a lot for the reply, I appreciate the detailed feedback! Other players have also found the player direction lacking - it's something I'll be looking into after the jam.
If you haven't finished the game and are willing to give it another try - try to stay where there's no grass and let the light and tower guide you :)
Cheers and thanks for playing!
Okay so, this is one of my favorites yet. I was able to get the 1st ending. Just note that I lost a bit of time at the moment I was supposed to follow the machine and find the cave. Maybe if the machine's spot light was aiming at the entrance it would've been easier, let alone making more sense (as it want us to follow it to find said cave).
Hey, guys. The itch.io downloadable version of this game is broken and prevents you from finishing the game, please play 1.0.2 instead
Windows 1.0.2
Linux 1.0.2
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for playing!
The visuals and audio are solid, the alien machine is great and the use of the flashlight to view notes is clever.
Level design was too open and the filter made finer text illegible, I just didn't know where to go or what to do for the most part, so I know I didn't get the full experience.
