Great atmosphere, loved it. Did you make normal maps for the surfaces or did you paint it manually to look like it was lit? Great job!

Did normal maps by hand, if you're interested check out the devlog ;) It's on the game's page. Took some work, but I honestly think it's worth it for the extra depth, especially considering I had to do everything out of primitive shapes due to my lack of knowledge on any free 3d modelling software and my old 3dsMax license no longer being valid >.> Hope that answers the question! And thanks for the compliment on the game :D

I'm aware of the bug, sadly I ran out of time before being able to fix it during the jam. It's planned to be fixed after the jam is over. I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and the game! ^_^
In case you're having trouble; the spiders hiss when they see you so that can tip you off. Don't stand underneath vents since that is where they come from! If they are in the way forward the best thing to do is back up to an airlock or previous room, make sure they can't see you and wait them out. I hope it'll help!

Thanks man! Means the world to me to be getting such positive feedback from everyone!

Haha thanks man, had to actually find out if there was a real word for 'a fear of bullets' when I wrote that line :D
One day I might revisit the concept of this game for a full project, but it would have to be much more polished than this haha. Definetly nice to know people would be interested! ^^
Thanks for playing the game! In case you wanted to know this is how the spiders work: They start in the mess hall in their roaming state (in this state they just pick random points within the limits of the room to go to), after a randomized time between 20 seconds to about 40 at most the spider changes to leave the room, they do this through the vents on the ceiling, then they decide on a random room to go to, the spider then drops down from that vent (it is actually super dangerous to stand right below a vent since the spider might just jump right on top of you), then when there they start roaming again. If they see the player (direct line of sight) they try to charge him, within the confines of their current room, still giving the player a chance to escape. Personally it was based off of Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 and the way he is constantly searching around to get you in the police station, but with the sci-fi setting it might definetly be closer to Alien: Isolation now you say it!
I'll keep a pause menu in mind for future jam games! I sadly only have one monitor, I did not realize Unity didn't bind the mouse to the screen. I'll see how this is done and try to implement it with what little time I have left! Thank you for you feedback and I am super glad you think the game is rad :D
Thanks man, I don't believe the FOV should change, so if that genuinly that's a bug >.> Otherwise it might just be a side effect that it looks like that happened because of the bright light from the flashlight. I'm about to upload a newer version of the game with some post processing effects and bug fixes so hopefully it'll look a lot less flat! In the new version you'll also skip the intro when you replay!
EDIT: New version is now downloadable
okay i played it again! definitely looks a lot better. I managed to get the smoothie this time but I couldn't figure out how to get in the control module. Also I accidentally clipped out of bounds twice when running away from a spider, twice. I think it's my fight or flight defense mechanism LMAO. Unfortunately the second time I couldn't get back in bounds and there wasn't a restart function (that I know of). ( seems i can only attach one image so i will reply to my post with the second)
oh also, if you still wish to finish the game:
SPOILERS
You go to the storage after getting the smoothie for the scientist, you do the jumping puzzle to get the screwdriver, you can then use the screwdriver to open the vent in the hallway next to the command module. After that you should be able to figure the rest out easy peasy ^^
haha, the game is very much based on how a game like Resident Evil 2 works; you explore to discover new things, you can sequence break (like if you pick up the smoothie the scientist gets killed, but this can happen before you've ever talked to him, he just gives you a hint on what to do next; in his case "make me a smoothie" basically, you should have been able to hear his dead screams when you picked up the smoothie :P), dying doesn't necesarilly mean no progress, your knowledge from the previous run can help on the next one (by solving a puzzle early or being able to do them quicker). Anyways I'll stop talking (or typing) your head off XD

Lmao, I really like weeving story and gameplay together, and games that do that, but I get how if you ignore it all it might get a bit trial and error :P Also, unrelated note; Really looking forward to playing your game as well, looks super interesting but I'm waiting for the rating periods to start so it'll be the latest version ^^
