  • Excellent job setting the vibe and atmosphere for this one, it was spooky and I was genuinely worried he'd spot me walking past. The sound design and commentary was great. The shadows on the wall I did not even notice until reading the GDD, and it was also unclear how to run. The first couple of playthroughs I was only walking. The rest of the gameplay was self-explanatory and I like that you can hide in a locker. Now that I play it again, I see there are controls on the start screen. But if you miss those, it would be helpful to also teach the player in-game (or just display them in-game) as well. Now I know that I can apparently crouch, too! :P ... and then I played again, got into the second section with the shadows, and eventually he found me and I ended the game actually yelling out in fear for my life! XD Love it. I hope to see you in the next game jam.

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
Yes

Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
YES, amm.... no i forgot and i rememberd after this so TY :)

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
It's a simple first person horror game (like outlast), you need to hide from main enemy. You can use lockers in order to escape if he sees you. Good luck and have fun :)

Probably the prettiest 3d game I've seen in this jam, solid horror stuff.

I love the art style! game play and level design. How did you get the lighting so  good? I used unreal 4.23 to html5 I baked 'production level' lighting but my lights and shadows don't look good 

Developer(+1)

Thank you :)

I usualy work in UE5, this was my first time working in UE4 (4.23 same su you).

And as for the lights, honestly, I did the same as you. Just backed lights for production and it worked. Maybe in your case the problem isindirect light settings or Post process?

BTW i played you game "Murky Gloom" and i like it. It reminds me of resident evil and i loveeee resident evil :)

TY for playing our game i appreciate it!
