Honestly one of the spookiest things I've played in awhile. The style, quiet, announcements - all very unsettling. Also served coming out of the cafeteria VERY well. At the moment I am too scare to finish it LOL, but I'm looking forward to getting there! As it is, very excellent! Thanks!

Developer

oh dang thank you so much! This is super encouraging 

I’m glad the cafeteria scene worked out, I’ve had some bugs I couldn’t figure out at the last minute before submissions ended so whether it lands or not can sometimes be a coin toss

You mention that this game is more of an experiment, but I think that undersells it. It's simple and effective, and follows a tried and true horror formula. The grainy visuals, simple color palette, paired with the distorted audio and silhouette monster model, all work a treat and are very effective. 

I didn't quite finish it and got chased down quite quickly, but want to play it again to see if the [REDACTED] room yields any surprises. So I don't have a lot of constructive feedback, as I need to properly deal with my nerves and muster the courage to give this game a proper go! 

I did a playthrough video below: 

Thanks for submitting this to the jam!

Thank you so much!


It started out tinkering with that red grain effect in Unreal, I decided to join the jam to make something out of it. I'm glad it seems to be working well, I had bigger plans for it originally but this was a mandatory crunch-less jam, so I refused to stay up nights to put everything I wanted in. And thanks for the video!

No worries!

And yeah, that's totally fair. Jams are meant to be fun. Crunch is just an unnecessary pressure to put on oneself.
