- Excellent use of visuals and sound to create a penetrating atmosphere. The use of directional audio to investigate sources of eerie sounds was very effective, and I liked the interspersed poetic text that provided an abstract and surreal flavour to the game. Very well executed and realised idea. This was a highlight of the jam for me!

Great game really enjoyed playing it.
One of the best I've seen for the jam
I have nothing to say, cant imagine something better for this jam.
Really liked this game.
Nice work, simple gameplay but effective.
awsome
Creative gameplay and very scary atmosphere, love the sounds design as well, good job!
Such a simple concept but such a cool mechanic. What a great game plan and beautifully executed. Great job!

This one is really fun but also really scary! I jumped a few times even without a sound cue. A really nice idea as well
Fantastic game! I'd love to rate it but I guess I can't without submission. But I'd rate it highly if I could!
Wow, really scary.. like the concept and the implementation… good job.
Fantastic, just fantastic.
So simple, so well done, so horror.
Great concept and was really fun to play. When I turned over and it was in bed with me, I was just like nope I'll face the other direction now.
I haven't gotten too deep into the story, but so far this is one of my favs from the jam! I love the sound design, in-game art, and UI. The mechanic is unique too. The first time I opened my eyes and the creature was behind the door, I knew I was playing my kind of game!
Cool idea, scary theme, Needs more stuff to do though. Greatwork!
Cool mechanics! scary like FNF game! Try my game, it has a flashlight, but you have to find it!:-)
Rate Total Loss by Riffel for 💀 SCREAM JAM 2023 💀 - itch.io
Cool concept with unique mechanics and good atmosphere and art/direction. I love the whole having to quickly check around and see if anything is still there and stressing about the sounds your hearing offscreen. That said, I think it kind of suffers from the FNAF problem where it becomes too easy to focus on the meters and trying to "game" it. If you choose to expand it past the jam, id like to see some kind of escalation where after you become comfortable with the mechanics, something changes up and surprises you.
Good idea, needs more polish
Wow, really excellent work! The gameplay was quite unique, kind of like a mix of an old school text adventure and a modern walking sim. And the art style, creature designs, and soundscape were effectively unsettling. Great job!
