I hit the bug with the cameras not allowing me to go back, and it is a lot of text to get through in the beginning. Visuals were really nice and you set up a nice mystery but it needs more polish for me.

I really loved it, but I had a bug, if I was moving with the arrows after the 3rd or 4th camera, I couldn't go back anymore at it's quite annoying. I had to restart the game and start over and over till I get tired, I couldn't play more than 3 minutes. also the beginning dialogue is unskippable and it was a bit annoying to listen to it after the 3rd time....
Graphics and sounds are incredible, gameplay is amazing too and really misterious! I loved it, I hope you will continue it!

The graphics are top notch. Possibly the best of the jam visually? That's subjective.

For me, one of the biggest problems was that the UI was super inconsistent, which is a killer in a game where where the main forms of interaction are through the UI. Also the theme is a stretch, one that I get, but it's more a 'synonym' of a 'synonym' stretch.

Your team was super ambitious and that alone deserves credit; I would be over the moon if you continue to work on this. This is full game release material right here.

Hey! Thank you so much for the review!
Yes, we know about every thing that not completed in our game yet, we were very limited in hands and time for the project of this scale. But we're certanly will continue this one with full strengh and hopefully deliver something complete and interesting to play!

About the theme, I suppose we didn't describe it in fullest. Except "haunt" the residents and "being hunted" by goverment, main character is haunted by his own mind and conscience. When the gameplay will extended to few days, player will see changes of phychological state of the character, depends on how many innocent people they reported on. In the current version of the game it's only a test feature, due to reasons I described above.

We will continue our work on the project and show everything we wanted!

I've seen this on the stream and while a lot of features are not yet implemented, it's one of the most beautiful ones. The gameplay looks promising. I would be interested in this as a fully fleshed out game.

Hey! Sorry for not replying yesterday—our team is still recovering after nine days of hard work 😅 It means a lot to hear that you're interested in the game, especially since we plan to continue working on the project.

Really good graphics and environment with this game! I couldn't see the very last message because it faded too quickly. I felt really confused with what I was doing the first time, and I didn't feel like there was much to do because it seemed I could only look at two cameras. However, again amazing graphics and environment in this game!

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad you liked the graphics! We’ll look into fixing that last message in the demo and making the gameplay clearer. We’re still adding more features, like improving the camera system. Thanks again for trying it out!

Hi, your game looks great! I usually contact through Discord but you did not list any username here or on the gamepage. Anyway I’m a regular streamer of GWJ entries and I’d like to play yours, with one of you in chat if possible.

I’m starting in approx 2h and it should last 6h. You just drop in chat at https://twitch.tv/vikfro and type the command !queue join. If you can’t join I’ll try to play it towards the end.

Feel free to DM me on discord: vikfro or other socials found at https://vikfroshideout.xyz
