Well made, but it was a little hard to understand what the voice on the radio was saying.

Very cool artstyle! I like the use of the mic. I enjoyed just exploring around a bit in the world. If you could, I think implementing subtitles would be nice for the radio and as someone else mentioned, locking and hiding the mouse as well as lowering default mouse sensitivity or a slider option.

na this game was so cool! The radio was a fun feature to use (my brother thought there was something wrong with me cuz I kept screaming “poop” over and over again for the crows… great implementation of the theme btw!). The crow jumpscare was also effective! Like a lot… I jumped (genuine air between me and the seat) at the first one, and when it happened while the scarecrow was out and about my chair turned a different color lmao. And the graphics were really nice! My only gripe is that sometimes the radio was a bit hard to understand.

thank you so much for playing, glad the scares were effective! I think a couple people have had trouble with the radio, it can get pretty garbled

Awesome game! but please update it to lock the cursor when opening, per jam rules you can put in bugfixes during the first two days. Sensitivity was also super high? Regardless this games sound and art looked super great, another game this jam that felt like I was playing a paid release. Is there a way to escape? I made it to the start and another time found an invisible wall so I wouldn't fix so? Great short experience, I loved yelling into my microphone, fun mechanic.

Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! I’ll pass it on to the team, any updates post-jam are dependent on dev team availability. We had a different ending planned initially, but because of time constraints we had to go with the single ending where you can’t leave.

Thanks so much for taking the time to film your playthrough, that's awesome! It's cool to see how people interact with the radio
