Very impressed this was done in a week! Great Job! Very polished visually. Was little lost on what to do or how to progress and just kept pressing space early on but other than that great work.

FREE PIZZAvery impressive, especially the visuals!
couple of notes:
- the restart button after death goes to a black screen and doesn’t actually restart
- i feel like in the beginning of the game i was quite lost - just kept pressing space to keep moving and moving the mouse thinking there might be something to click on but there wasn’t until the tv portion
love the camera system, and again very impressive for one week of work!

For their entertainmentWow! This was amazing! Great animations and I love the effect of looking through a security camera was top notch. Great Game and for your first game jam, wow!

MotherboardI was not expecting a game with this style during the game jam and was thoroughly surprised by it! Love stories that I can interact with and this one was simple and to the point. The addition of humor fits well also. For the graphics low-poly was a great choice and the com screen was very clean, even the recording and security camera view was satisfying to see through. The controls for me could have been more obvious as I did not know to use space again for the communications at first and did not know to use my mouse to click either. Other than that great job on your first completed game a wonderful one to start off with.

System AtomThis game stealth feels really great.
One thing: the web version seems to not fit on the box so I couldn’t see that there were buttons to change cameras until I read the comments. I downloaded the Windows version and played in Linux using Wine. When you get caught and restart, the game just gets stuck in a black screen that I need to force close.

Get Out!Great game! I loved the bit of having to switch between cameras to figure out how to distract the guards and when to move. I could see a full game based around exploring this mechanic.

Temple SlayerInitial reaction: OMG this is fantastic. This game fit me perfectly! An amazing first entry. :D The concept is great, and I liked the smooth learning curve. What I'd liked to see that would've made this even better is perhaps more options to what you could do, and with a little more difficulty. As it was now, you searched around for whatever was interactable and when you'd clicked it that was the correct way to go about it. It sort of removed the feeling of having to swap between the cameras and make some sort of plan and hopefully execute it right - I feel the game was a bit too easy as a result. I'd have loved to have to spend more time with this, but I completed it on the first try. :(
To summarise; amazing entry!
