I played for a while and couldn't quite figure out what else to do towards the end.  Nice work!

Good concept. It scary when you walk on tunnel and look at same thing again and again. I cannot finish the game, I got motion sick. But still good game.

I tried this and 17 other entries from the scream jam. That silly newspaper article was funny. Finding Dwight is #7 in the order of games in the video.

This is a pretty cool idea! I don't know if it was due to my crap laptop struggling to run it >.< or whether it was just somewhat wobbly in terms of camera, but whenever my laptop lagged and came back again, the camera angle had changed despite me not actually moving my mouse, which was quite disorientating and made it kinda hard to find stuff. I didn't get any motion sickness or anything like that though. If I was able to use my PC, then I'd try it again on there cos I like the concept :3 Sadly I just don't have the space to play stuff on my PC right now :(

The insanity thing is really cool! I love that sorta psychological element in games :D

Cool game :) I liked the mechanic but I agree the pulsing feeling is a little nauseating.

Developer

Glad you liked it! An opt-out option for this camera pulsation is already finished and sitting on my local hard drive. As soon as the rating period stops we'll upload a newer version :)

So I found this reasonably entertaining and spooky as a concept!  Unfortunately it was severely brought down by the camera.  If I wasn't constantly moving my mouse, the character would start staring at the ceiling!  It made walking through the tunnels more nauseating than scary.

Developer

Hmm.. that’s a rather odd bug. We never encountered this behavior and couldn’t reproduce it. Did you perhaps had an additional controller plugged in? (our PlayerController supports controller input but we didn’t manage to made it fully working) Anyways, we‘ll look into this. Thank you for playing :)

I did have a controller plugged in, yes.  However, removing it had no effect.  Not sure what's causing it, but it's certainly an odd bug I'll give you that.

The textures look pretty polished and it surprisingly performs smoothly on my pc; 3D games tend to perform poorly on my pc because it's graphic power its not that good. The insanity concept it's nice and adds so much fun to the game, such as those newspaper about cows losing their jobs.

Thank you! :) We thought adding in some chuckles would be worth it. Glad you enjoyed it.

Very pretty, but dang! That crazy effect gave me the motion sicks. 

Developer

Dang.. sorry to hear that. We tried to create visual tension too but never thought about possible motion sickness. We‘ll at this as an opt-out in the options after the rating period.
Thank you for your feedback :)
