Great enemy design, and the entrance of the enemy was pretty scary! I think a checkpoint would be helpful, and I wasn't sure if you could carry more than one item at a time? I got used to it by the end though. Super smooth controls as well; nice job!
I had a blast playing this one! Solid game loop and very interesting art and lore behind the creatures.
It does a great job at setting up the atmosphere and having the apex predator coming up at the end was heart racing! Excellent job, one of my favorites so far!
Thank you for playing my game:)
I really loved the atmosphere, and I liked the treasure hunt mechanic. I don't really feel like it feels the theme of the jam, but it's a good experience. For some reason, my RTX 3070 was super hot after playing it. I've seen some Unreal games having a simple video settings menu, this one didn't so I'm assuming it just went straight to Ultra.
Spoilers below:
The monster that appeared one shot me and I had to re-do everything again. At first I thought I should've read the descriptions of the monsters more carefully as the noise mechanic didn't really click with me the thing just followed me around, but there's nowhere (that I could find) that could be considered a hint to avoid the monster.
The bad thing is, the treasure hunt takes so long to do, that I think this game would benefit from a checkpoint after gathering all of the fossils. It's too much energy to do everything all over when the monster one shots you.
Thanks for playing our game! Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to fix some bugs and add checkpoints, and I'm really sorry about that. I hope you still had fun playing!
I did!
