Very spooky vibes, had me quaking in my boots! Being pursued by an unseeable horror that you can only keep track of using a tool in game is a very cool and immersive concept!

I was scared for the first 10 minutes or so because the atmosphere was so spooky and the low beep of the beeper added quite a bit to the game feel.  I was a little confused after exploring the area so I thought that I should follow the beeping while holding the beeper out. Turns out that was a mistake :) Great job on the  atmosphere and feel of the game and would definitely benefit of some auto logs or clues of what happened to the others.

Nice level design ! If you want to test our game there it is: https://astral-creation-studio.itch.io/your-princess-is-in-another-dimension

Level design and atmosphere wise it was very eerie and beautiful. Not a fan of horror games, so it wasn't exactly for me :D But I kind of lacked what I needed to be doing, I guessed that the beeper got louder if the enemy was close, and that was my only hint, so I just went looking for it and just died, without even seeing the enemy (maybe he got on my back or something) :D 

Amazing visuals though, Unreal is on another level with these and obviously great job from you guys!

Yea, I didn't have quite enough time to add in a proper objective yet. The enemy is also invisible (since he's in a separate dimension and all). The main way to detect his is via the beeper, and he can only track you with noise and touch. Meaning, if you have your beeper out when it's going at max beepage then he will hear that, so you have to turn it off and stand still or figure out how to sneak away without him hearing you. Thanks for playing even if it was a bit out of your comfort zone though!

Amazing visuals but I couldn't find the boss. I just walked around alot

Developer

Yea, he's a bit stupid right now. I made him a bit faster in the most recent patch (which just launched) that way he can at least catch you if you're just walking away.

Exceptionally good visuals! I can definitely feel the Alien Isolation vibes. Wished there was more to it but I see you're planning to work on this more. Well done.

The atmosphere looks wonderful, but I did get warnings the entire time that I had run out of video memory and a warning that I would likely have horrible performance. It looked great, and it would be nice to see the final once the mechanics are fully functional in the game as right now the only thing that appears to be happening is you can find the entity and then it kills you. 


Great horror atmosphere though; I definitely felt claustrophobic and like something was going to get me at any moment.  

Developer

Glad you liked it! Yea, I'll have to look into the video memory issue. Someone else pointed that out as well. It doesn't show up on my end, so I wasn't aware of it. I do have graphics settings which I think by default are set to max, so maybe lowering those would make it run a bit better. Thanks for playing!

Nice atmosphere ^^

Very beautiful and haunting. The game crashed because I ran out of memory unfortunately. Your game seemed on a different level compared to most of the entries in this contest. I'm curious how you made this game.

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I'm sorry that your game crashed, but happy you enjoyed what you saw. I think the main reason it got to the state that it's in was mainly because it was something I genuinely wanted to make, and therefore devoted most of the time making. It definitely isn't that crazy, but I'm happy to hear that you liked it, thanks!
