It looks like the intro of a full-flegde game. I would say the voice acting is a nice touch but it clearly lack emotions, it's like the actor reads its text without knowing any context about the game and it sounds robotic.

Steering the wheel is entirely useless, I tried to crash just to verify if there was a point in this feature and I don't think there is.

Other than that, it makes a great job at introducing a story, but feels very lacking on his own.

I'm not satisfied with the voice acting either. There aren't really many good free AI voice generating websites that offer a variety of voices and different emotions for each voice.
As for the steering it was just me trying to see if I can implement such a mechanic and also trying to make the game more immersive but I now see that I left this feature completely untapped .
Thanks for the constructive feedback though, I really appreciate it!

Wow, that was a really good short experience...
And I was shocked by the story and primarily by the character name: Jack!
The story is your game is very similar to mine, and to go even further, in the story I've wrote (does not show up in the final game), my main character husband name is Jack xD
What a coincidence!
Congrats for you game!

Developer

Haha I noticed the similarities too and I was really taken aback! Thanks for checking it out!

Great Atmosphere. Short but good narration. It feels like a segment of a great horror game. Good entry! πŸ‘πŸ»

Thanks for the kind words! I really wanted to include as much action and backstory as possible in this short gameplay.
