I really enjoyed your game! I especially liked the scare with the person in the window. Reminded me about that one game with the garbage truck… cleaning redwood or something like that. I found humor in the radio as well. As the librarian would say, it’s creepy and cozy. Good work!
Good work!!! Like the setting of a horror on a dam
Someone needs to get some guard rails fitted! Cool game that I enjoyed playing. I love the radio play framing it adds so much character to the game.
Love the repeated gameplay that slowly builds up into a really unexpected twist! That radio drama had me hooked too haha
The setting is so creepy yet so comforting, good job!
I wanted to know what was going to happen next in Gloria's love life! Great job, I find the dark water very spooky
"I am the Anti-J", funny game entertaining, simple yet intriguing. The only critique I would give is that the environment and models like simple/plain, and the scare factor isn't that high. In contrast with that the entertainment & enjoyment is one of the highest so far I have experienced this jam, creative idea too. I was a little disappointed this game isn't about being stuck in one of those giant wave pool machines (super deadly apparently IRL) as one would assume from the thumbnail LMAO.
liked the concept, although the game could be a bit longer imo.
I really appreciate the concept and i was sufficiently creeped out, and i loved the radio show detail. I know it's a short jam, but i was expecting a little bit more from the ending.. Honestly though, great job!
Came for the spook, stayed for the podcast.
The silouhette in the window was a nice touch, made me consider jumping into the water.
Fell the first time I met the flying saucer, was a bit frustrated to not being able to skip the podcast when retrying.
