Enjoyable game, nice aesthetic! Thanks for sharing on the stream!
I got stuck a bit early because the ceiling lights are extremely precise jumps (probably skill issue on my part but they should be closer, coyote time would also help a lot) but I like what I was able to see of the game.
Thank you for playing! The ceiling lights are feedback I received a lot! I will definitely move them closer after the voting haha.
I’m glad I was able to make it to the end! I liked the narrator, they were kind of funny and made the ending pretty amusing. I liked the double jump, and it was a cool idea to have level up items to help get around more, though I think a few more dialogue hints could help breadcrumb the player from one item to the next. Maybe some signs on the doors too since I got lost very easily D: . But the mechanics are all working well, so a few polishes should make it a lost nicer for the player to navigate!
Super atmospheric and liminal, I really liked the graphics/shaderwork. The dark areas spooked me a bit, but everything else felt kind of calming, actually. Especially space. The parkour integrated into the map was pretty funny too! It felt like I was alone, but in a good way, like nothing really mattered. Great stuff, dev.
I really enjoyed my playthrough of this! My favourite parts were the humorous dialogue when interacting with certain objects/rooms, and the ambient noise that really sold the uncomfortable vibe of the game. Some of the platforming felt a bit tricky, but I mostly blame that on my potato of a laptop. Thanks for the cool game :D
This game heebied my jeebies, very unnerving vibes. I feel like it could use some creepy challenges or other features, though that might break the feeling as the uncertain becomes more certain. I really liked the idea of leaning so hard into the metroidvania genre that the whole map becomes a small space.
I feel like the dark areas could have been an obstacle with a flashlight ability, but as you said you ran out of time.
A lot of the dialog felt like it was trying to tell the player how to feel. Show, don't tell, the environment did a decent enough job at it.
The interactions felt janky, particularly when interacting with a door and a light switch at the same time. I recommend establishing a priority order and picking one to interact with, reflected in the prompt of course.
What made it unplayable: I hit E 100 times at the end and didn't get more funny dialog
Overall, quite enjoyable, very impressive to make a game that elicits such a strong fight or flight response in just 4 days.
Thank you for playing! I did implement a jump back to the main menu, but for some reason it didn't work in the build x_x
Thanks again!
I really liked the funny jokes and the details you put in the game! I loved that the end was like Doki Doki in a way.
I dont understand the game at all, I dont find a way out. But hey, the artstyle is really good.
You may be stuck at work, but I'm glad you enjoyed the art style haha Thank you for playing!
The art style is masterpiece😭
Thank you! I spent a lot of time trying to nail it down!
Really nice game, great vibes. Love the metroidvania feel to it.
Really nice game, great vibes. Love the metroidvania feel to it.
Thank you for playing! I never knew an Office themed metroidvania could be fun to make haha I'm thinking of ways to expanding upon it for the future.
I was hoping to come here to say I managed to get home from work... but something else happened and now I'm floating in space having an existential crisis! Good job! :)
The only problem of this game is... My Pc that can open Godot games, so i cant rate this game sadly. But the game sounds really interesting, i cant play it but give it a try, you who is reading this.
I knew this game was good when I picked up the pants upgrade lol
You gotta get your comfy joggers!
