Judge feedback

• A really nice looking game! The claustrophobic environment does such a good job in building up tension by hiding where the monster might be. The narrative set up by the antique shop tells a lot just by the art assets, and I really enjoy that.
  
  The puzzles were varied and interesting, if a little confusing at times. The clues were definitely there in the level, but it wasn't always clear what information was relevant. I suppose that does tie quite well in with the theme of junk however. Just maybe consider pointing the player in the right direction a little more for future game jam projects.
  
  There was nothing particularly revolutionary about the game, but the different disciplines were put together incredibly well for just a weekend of work. The atmosphere of the game is fantastic, and that's what you want from this style of horror game.
  
  Consider a more unique game mechanic for a monster/puzzle solving in future game jams. I think that with this team you could produce a stand-out title in very little time.

• Nice idea for a game (if scary!). Not all the puzzles are clear without reading what they are beforehand. Looks good, plays pretty well, just needs more polish on the puzzles and a bit more guidance

• This game really nails the horror vibe in the early stages. The audio contributes to this in an atmospheric sense, as well as the aesthetics and the changing gameplay. I found the gameflow difficult to work out, without enough clues or feedback about what I was doing. 

  I think the game offered a lot of challenge and panic and developed a core concept which was communicated really clearly and effectively. The only issue was, keys seemed to be very difficult to find, I couldn't work out how to get to the hammer which I think could have been reconciled with some more testing throughout the jam to identify usability issues. However, I think this is a great addition to the teams portfolio, especially considering the timeframe this has been achieved in.

  The main working point I think could have really nailed this experience was more audio feedback whenever the player finds something. I didn't notice text was coming up on my screen sometimes initially, I think some audio accompanying new information like this would have helped that aspect of the experience.

  Well done, team! It's great!
