Amazing graphics and a very unique take on the theme. The audio was very calming too, even in a post-apocalyptic world :) I can tell that you've put a lot of effort into this. Great job!

Developer

Thanks! So glad you liked it :D

Nice one, good shotter, and the theme is great, love the post apocalipse or human descontrol, really nice man, love the game, maybe the AI is to much precise, is hard to survive XD, or i am a very bad survivor XD

Developer

Glad you like the game, thanks for playing!

Yeah in retrospect the ai is a little too hard xD

Big beautiful 3D world, but a tutorial would be handy..😉!

GAMEPLAY   
I really needed some guidance on what to do and were to go. I got the pistol but did not manage to get it into view and use it to shoot. In the trailer I saw it was possible. Pressed al the buttons but no luck. Also the tab showed inventory but did not know what to do with the options and shelter. I think if there is some more guidance it would improve the playability a lot. I did like to wander around and enjoy the environments. That was well made.

GRAPHICS/ART 
The graphics were very nice. Impressive. In the video I also liked the pistol and gun animations (unfortunately did not manage to use them myself). Some extra particle effects somewhere would be a fun bonus or some day and night cycle maybe. 

AUDIO   
Good ambiance background audio and sound effects. 

THEME   
The alternate reality was checked💪! Time is power I did not notice very present or it was the bars that got empty?


Overall the environment was cool and the idea and concept impressive. Especially for a 1 week jam, but the player needs some extra help to be able to benefit from all that. But still..nice work...keep it up!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you liked the world :)

I completely didn’t think about adding a tutorial! I guess I was so worried about the difficulty and polishing it I never made sure that people were able to understand the core gameplay 😅 

Thanks though for taking the time to play through and for writing such an in-depth assessment, it’s really helpful 😁

(Just for reference you press 3 to take out your pistol 🫠)

You're welcome 😁!
Ah, oke, I pressed a lot of buttons, but I think i missed 3.
Replayed and indeed now I can fire the weapon. Did another round into the world at shot some enemies. Nice 😉! Thanks for that tip!

Impressive game,  but i think it's a little too ambitious, it seems like you took some assets pack and put them togheter, maybe a tutorial is needed, because i didn't know what i was doing. Incredible project just too ambitious

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah a tutorial is definitely needed and I honestly didn’t even think about that LOL it was not however just asset packs thrown together, if you read the devlog you’ll see I put a lot of hard work into this :)

Submitted(+1)

i read the devlog and i gotta say, awsome work, still togh focus on the gameplay first. Anyway really good submition 👍

Impressive for a one week jam! I couldn't find a way to kill the ennemies so maybe a quick tutorial would be nice! 

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Really interesting, Liked some of the art stuff. But it was so insanely glitchy. To big a scope for a gamejam. But please do keep going with the project because I love stalker like games

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! What sort of glitches did you encounter? I didn't find any huge ones in my testing besides a few corners of the map where you can clip out lol

Submitted(+1)

Hey Magic I kept clipping trough a lot of stuff, the walkway at the very start some road parts, and the ai also kind of freaked out

Developer(+1)

Oh weird, I’ll have to look into that since I can’t seem to replicate it (at least in the build). There are some meshes on the outskirts that don’t have colliders to prevent parkouring around the rooftops but other than that idk why you would have that problem 🤔

Maybe I was trying to go somewhere I was not meant to go then. But it really looked like i had to go up that scaffolding
