Hi! I was able to get through the experience but I didn't understand much of the plot. It fell a little short on a narrative level, although the aesthetics were cool :)

Submitted

Very stressful game, I could not escqpe the ghosts though !

Submitted

Really fun game you have going on! I really wish it was longer, and I hope you continue work on it in the future!  Great job!

Submitted

Good one :) I am jealous of some ideas that you use :P They didn't come to my mind

Submitted

Very nice art and concept. I enjoyed how everything looked and felt it brought you into the game.

Hey convictedweirdo!

I escaped! Like others have said it is definitely pretty easy, but admittedly I did die one time cause I didn't realize you charged the flashlight at the battery stations lol Overall, great job though!!

A couple notes after playing:

  • The controls were a little confusing at first. I wasn't expecting the WASD movement to be locked to world space and thought that W would follow to my mouse pointer. Once I got used to it though it wasn't so bad!
  • This one is just sort of a bug report for you in case you go back and fix stuff. I was playing on an ultrawide monitor and some of the elements on the main menu get messed up around the edges. They like stretch out to the edge and then jump back to the normal aspect ratio. Then, in game all the HUD elements get pushed to the far edges. Would probably be good to just lock it to 16:9 to prevent that from happening

What I liked:

  • The little messages and lore bits scattered around were great! If you continue the game, definitely spread some more around because it was fun looking around for them.
  • The art style is fantastic! Everything meshes extremely well together and makes the game extremely tense. Makes me feel like I am in the Matrix!
  • The sound design was nice and spooky! I really enjoyed the memo sound and the flickering light buzz. I definitely want more sounds though if you continue working on the game! Stuff to bring up the tension a bit more :)

thankyou for the detailed feedback that is really helpful. I'm further developing the game into hopefully a full, much longer release. Thankyou so much for playing!

Great vibes, Loved the gameplay, it was very easy to beat tho, Nice art as well.

Submitted

Nice little game. Play more levels will be a pleasure.

Submitted

Love the visual aesthetic! It has a very John Carpenter, sci-fi horror feeling to it. Good work!

Submitted

I liked this a lot actually. I think this has a bunch of potential for a full game!

Very cool, loved the bit at the end when you turn on the generator. I think the battery life is too generous for how short the game is, but overall well done.

Wow, great atmosphere and decent mechanics, one of the best Gdevelop games I've seen so far.

Also, the generator turn on was a great scare!

Good job!

Submitted

Really cool, I love the atmosphere and the art style. The flashlight battery depletion is also a great mechanic, really adds to the sense of urgency!

Submitted

I really wish it were longer, but I really enjoyed it while it lasted

Developer

thankyou, I really hoped to add more levels before time ran out. There will be an updated version after the judging period :)

Submitted

Nice minigame with promising mechanics, art and sounds! Small scope, nicely executed, GG!

Submitted

Aesthetics and sound are pretty good, just wish it was a little longer. Nice work my friend.

Developer

thank you for taking the time to play it and your kind words. I was hoping to get three levels done and I hope to expand on it after the jam ends to flesh it out further.
