Hi ! Nice art, I really liked the atmosphere, it reminded me of Portal 2 :) (May be that's why I was expecting some tragic ending for the player... but well here theme is "cooperation" !). It was nice to have the generated voice acting. I had issues for the snail game : the maintained clicks were not always working so I had to click a lot of times !
Nice entry for this jam :) !

Developer

you can hold the buttons on snail part so it works better :D, we should have been clear with that

I loved the puzzle, it was chill to play and had a super nice art style. Well done!

Fun game and feels a lot like portal, but some things like clicking puzzle stuff really need sound effects.

This game was great.  How did you do the voice?

Developer(+1)

We used a text-to-speech website called fakeyou .com to generate the voicelines and we edited them in Adobe Audition.

Great game

This was great! Just the right difficulty for a puzzle game (at least for me, but I don't play many)

The voice lines were really good, and I love how it's generated by AI text-to-speech, nice touch!

Very good art and sound too!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to beat this one - after climbing down the ladder, the symbol UI that pops up went off the top of my screen, so I couldn't see what symbols were on the top part. I'm on an ultrawide monitor, so that is probably the culprit. Really nice theme, and great job with the environment and the puzzles. Do I earn bonus points for discovering the hidden Gary?

Nitpicks:

  • There were some clicks caught in the SFX
  • There are seven wires protruding out from the top of the eyeball and it is the Octopus

This was fun, it was really cool to see the story play out and the puzzles were challenging but not that hard to get. Pretty good balance imo! Could be better in the audiovisual department but it got the point across without any confusion which is more than i can say for some other games. (i also loved the ais voice) Great job!

Nice submission ! I saw it on twitter during the jam and i was impatient to try it. i enjoy a lot the artstyle and sound design


feel free to test mine :)

Honestly, by the end I was pretty sure I just let some world destroying force out of a facility meant to contain it.

The octopus is kind of intimidating and I love the storytelling you do with it.

The step sounds are cool, wish there was more sfx as well. Helps with the atmosphere.

I'm usually not a big fan of easy puzzles that you have to solve, but it totally works for me here, because of the story.

Would honestly love to see more!
