Very cool game design and executed perfectly! The puzzles are fun while staying surprising each time, it stay simple but feel good to be cracked , and the whole game is polish enough to feel very good, congrats!
Thank you so much Horace! It means a lot to us!!
Very fun! I enjoyed being stuck in the puzzle prison haha very neat puzzles, really enjoyed the art style too.
That puzzle was our biggest concern related to the difficulty, glad that you've enjoyed that slightly harder challenge! Thanks for your feedback!
Amazing game! The polish is immaculate and feels like a ready-to-release game, if it was longer!
My only critique is that it just narrowly fits the roles reversed theme, but fit it does!
Very very cool game, enjoyed every bit of it.
Hey SenorGurki! Thanks a lot for the feedback, it means a lot to us! About the theme, we discussed a lot about not fitting the theme because this idea certainly stretches it! It's hard to avoid obvious directions (a game X with an input twist), and still be close to the theme. After a long discussion, we doubled down on this idea and see what we would end up with.
Even not fitting that well, we are super happy that you and other folks are enjoying it, thanks a lot for playing it!
Props to you for sticking to your first decision! I do agree that finding a creative and non-standard take in the theme is hard, so it's completely fair try stretch the theme as much as possible hahaha
Really polish and an unique mechanic. See you in the video!
Thanks a lot Alejandro! Fingers crossed haha!
Wow! This game is wonderful! I like the idea of seeing through other's eyes. Great work, really!
Thanks a lot Sayuri! Glad that you liked it!
A very cool twist indeed! Amazing what you managed to make in such a short time frame!
Thank you so much! Glad that you've enjoyed it!
This is by far the most enjoyable game I have played! it was simply genius, at first I was annoyed that I can't control which character I get the view of, since it instantly activates on eye contact, then it became a mechanic ( sorta ) trying to avoid useless people around, I was also surprised at the guards letting me do whatever I wanted, only for a final plot twist which makes everything make sense.
I don't know why but I was sure at some point I will have a code written on me and I have to read it via some other character perspective... I guess that was just the puzzle designer in me imagining things haha
Really good job! ...I had to install some Microsoft thingy and also got forced to restart my computer but it was all worth it. I played it till the end and had so much fun
PS: maybe you should make the credit skippable, at least the one accessed from the main menu cause I got stuck there after a wrong click xD
Congratulation on the entry, really well done. solid 4.66 ★ from me
Woow, thanks a lot for the kind words! And holy fck, now I want to have this code written on the character's back so bad! Even for an easter egg or bonus stuff, perfect idea! We actually added the player's 3d model a few minutes before the deadline, but I think there are many things that can be interesting to explore knowing that you can see your own character through other's eyes as well!
Again, thanks a lot for the feedback and the rating, it means a lot to us <3
Love the game! Unique idea and executed perfectly. Great job guys!
Thank you so much Daanish, means a lot to us!
Such a well realized concept. Lovely voyeuristic thrills here that I hope make it into an expanded form.
We too liked how the idea went out, thanks a lot for the feedback! Let's see what the future holds for this prototype :)
The low poly artstyle was executed perfectly, lighting & environment look great, and game mechanics were new and interesting. Solid game!
Thanks a lot! We had a blast trying to make this mechanic feels intuitive and interesting, glad that you enjoyed it!
Well Polished. The art is fantastic, of course. Start to finish run-through is entirely possible without issue. Only discrepancies were entirely minor, such as animation glitches or dialogue, and did not detract from a fun & finished game. Great work, team!
Thank you so much! The animation issue was our lack of experience with 3d animations showing up hahaha. Thanks a lot for the feedback, glad that you've liked it!
Fun concept and solid execution. Additionally the home page presentation was stellar, as was the music.
Great job!
Thank you so much! I've sent this to Matheus (the one who did the music), he was flattered!
cool game. really enjoyed the puzzles!
Thanks HiHoot, glad that you've enjoyed it!
Very cool puzzles. This shows promise if it were iterated upon, nice work!
Thanks a lot Drakonheal glad that you liked it!
Very cool game, could be expanded into something great! I couldn't figure out the final door code though
Hey there! Thanks for the kind words! That last puzzle is a bit harsh, we playtested it and felt it was going to work better if it had one small puzzle before it to introduce the idea to the player (but 48h Jams are harsh hehe). There's a video on our game page with an entire walkthrough, where you can check the solution.

For those who don't mind spoilers, here's a hint:
And here's the solution:
Best so far, I love escape games. What did the hotdog guy do?
Ohh, thank you so much Bobby! Glad that you liked it!
And about Rodolfo (the hotdog guy), he helped with a few things regarding Unreal Engine, such as setting it up to make sure it runs on 60fps, and a few technical stuff (using our post-processing configurations in the other 3 cameras that we were rendering). Nerd stuff, but super important for us!
It's a good game! great implementation and fun puzzles.
Thanks a lot Crazy Moon, glad that you liked it!
I like the overall mood, the atmosphere. The visuals look pretty polished too. Nice job!
Thank you Samuel! It means a lot to us!
It's nice to see a finished, polished game in a jam. Thanks for the cool entry and congrats on your work, the puzzles are both interesting and not frustrating :)
Thanksa a lot for your kind comment Antoine! Glad that you liked it, we had a blast doing it :D
Great fun, well polished, I found the puzzles to be very ingenious, congratulations!
Thanks a lot Joney! Glad that you liked it!
