Your Average rank is #71 in GMTK 2025! Congrats!

Here is the link with all the rankings:

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

Wow, thank you so much for putting that sheet together and for letting me know! I'm over the moon about the placement, especially considering how many amazing entries there were, it's great to know and have a figure to see how I averaged out for all categories like this, so thank you again!

Absolutely stunning work. The narrative loop is compelling, and the atmosphere is incredibly well executed, especially with the subtle audio shifts and stark visual style. I agree with others that the intro pacing could be tightened, and some in-game prompts would improve onboarding. The respawn orientation bug did catch me off guard, but it didn’t break the immersion. I really appreciated the thematic use of color and the eerie reveals. Overall, this feels like a polished slice of a larger story

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback! So happy you liked it since I really enjoyed yours too! I think I'll definitely be going back to tighten up things like that, give it an extra lick of polish once the jam ends (aka, soon!). Thanks so much again for playing!

Got 1 ending, will absolutely come back to get them all! After seeing your responses to other people I would really love to see what you come up with for a post-jam build honestly, it’s a really cool idea that could easily be added to and improved on!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words, so happy you enjoyed it, hope you like the other endings if you get the chance!

A dose of horror and PS1 vibes - I can dig it. I think it took a bit long to really get into things and the limited focus makes me wonder how much I'd get in replaying it. As a statement though, this is the best narrative take I've played in the jam and the controls are solid.

Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! I agree that it's one car crash or straight too long in some cases, hoping to add at least some more variety and mechanics post jam when I come back to it!

I loved the vibe you put into the game. And I loved that point where the trees are those giant monsters, it gave me chills lmao. Still can’t understand how you can make such a great experience in 4 days tho x) Great job !

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words, so happy you liked it! Haha they honestly gave me chills too when playing, I'd forget when they were coming up sometimes when testing!

Loved it! The vibe and aesthetic are top! The narrative and loop system works really well together! A lot of ideas like the radio and the text moving are a really cool touch too! It gives you the eagerness to see the end of the story! Impressive and great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing, I'm so happy you liked those touches and details, they were a lot of fun to add in!

Love the text animation at the beginning! Nice horror post processing effects~

Some feedback:

Could possibly add instructions in-game rather than in the page below, as I was confused at the beginning what I should do. (e.g. I didn't know it was space to continue the dialogue, and thought it was mouse clicks, as initially it was Clicking the button to Play)

When you die, the car's orientation respawns wrongly, so sometimes it faces me backward, and I cannot turn around without the game killing me repeatedly with the message "you cannot turn back", even though I am trying to turn around to continue the game. I think deaths should reset the orientation correctly too.

Overall, I found this to be one of the most immersive games I played, and the mood set the tone the right way! The eerie music was great and tense, and I loved the atmosphere! It had me gripped to my car seat.

Amazing job~ :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing, and for the feedback! I 100% agree with it, the car thing is unfortunately a bug, and very good point about progressing the text, I was watching Mark play on stream and he was saying similar, it dawned on me that I hadn't quite made that clear...! 

Really happy you liked it overall, thank you again for playing!

Really liked this game. Loved the atmosphere and the narrative. I wouldnt say that it was scary but you can definetily feel like someone is watching you after several minutes lol. Well done man. I like that other devs made horror games too with the loop. Gj!

Developer

Same here, m' fellow horror dev! The theme definitely leant itself well to it! Thanks so much for playing my entry, high praise coming from your one, really enjoyed it and definitely also made me look over my shoulder multiple times!
