A bit too barebones for me, but I also ran out of any time to finish off all the things I had planned too, I think the unity default colour background makes it extra obvious though haha
Haha lol
This game makes me go YES!
Just like [REDACTED]
Love the atmosphere :) Hard to get that in such a quick game I think
Very neat game! Definitely has potential be expanded on past the original 24 hours!
Nice concept and good take on the theme of the jam. To further develop the game:
Overall good stuff!
thanks for the ideas! The last one is already a thing, but only the people in a certain radius around the kill run away
The game had cool effects and definitely gave off a creepy vibe.
I could immediately feel the creepy/murderous vibes before I even played the game from the thumbnail! I love the idea that the player is losing control as your progress and I'm glad you start getting paid more than 5 bucks to kill someone XD
A ncie take on the theme that didn't take control away from the player. Well done :)
thanks!
Losing control over your insanity is a unique idea. Nice game!
This game is very morbid feeling though it feels like that's the intent and it's spot on with the animation for when you stab people. I wish the people didn't spawn in and out so often. I like the weird feeling to the game that comes from the music and the grainy effect. Overall it's an interesting experience
Honestly I find the depictions of both mental health and violence pretty tasteless in this game. The way the game depicts murder and the lack of meaningful alternatives in game play implies either the game wants me to murder a bunch of people harming the characters mental health or to turn off the game and do something else. The message is pretty much a bleak "Let psychosis get worse, or do nothing"
That was not the intended message, but I do see why you may think that. Other options were planned, however weren't implemented due to time constraints. Nonetheless, thanks for the feedback!
Nice idea with getting crazy and losing control of what you're doing (without losing any game control for a change !).
Not what you are supposed to do, but sure you do you
Love the effect you did for when you kill people. I enjoy how you connected the theme to mental health. Great work!
Thanks, we wanted to be unique when we came up with the mental health idea
Very deep game - once the alerts dissapear you really feel yourself slipping away.
The idea that you're just slowly going insane is pretty cool. I like how after you kill a certain number of people, the alerts disappear and you can no longer tell the difference between between a target and an innocent, really contributes to the insanity theme.
No real people were harmed while playing this game.
The post-processing effect looks nice and makes it interesting to see what happens if you keep playing the game. And it's kinda interesting that marks get harder to notice with time.
There were a couple of issues like people despawning while I was trying to catch them, and the soundtrack gets repetitive, a longer loop would be better perhaps. Nonetheless, good job!
Thanks for the feedback! The reason the people disappear is because i used an object pool. I realised that wasn't going to work very well after it was too late
Nice game, I love the distorsion effect :)
Thanks! (Used post-processing)
Its really one of a kind. I have played it ore than five times, and will play once more. I'm in love with the music and the distorted visuals. Great job, keep it up.
Thanks very much
Maybe I'm just a psychopath, but it was becoming so much funnier with each new killing XD
I mean, you expect something to happen, but you just kill and kill more and more people while listening for a calm and relaxing music, ahahah. Nice visual and music, though, they fit the game perfectly. Liked the game!
I see the game had the opposite effect on you. We have a special one...
It seems that you made a game that discovers your inner maniac ahahah. But without jokes, good game with interesting idea, keep up with it!
Thanks
