Had a playthrough of this game. I like the eerie atmosphere but it tapers off heavily. It was more of a scenic walk than a playable game. The clarity of what to do was low and the overall mechanics were very buggy. However my main critics come from how you are handling this project. I have a hard time believing that the 'POLYGON Horror Carnival' Asset Pack was obtained with a legitimate license.
Mainly because you are students in a game development course, I doubt you would obtain a license to this specific asset pack for £90.83 from the creator's official store page. (Or even £26.37 for this and many others through Humble Bundle.) The lack of crediting for the Assets, Along with the fact that you are deleting public criticism of your project to hide the fact that others are calling out the same stealing issue.
I have sent a report through to the hosts of the event, They can check to see if the rules are upkept and also to check what has been deleted under the comments.. I believe in the integrity of the rules and will retract this comment if my accusations are proven wrong.

thanks for your feedback and for bringing this up.
To clarify, we actually found the ‘POLYGON Horror Carnival’ Asset Pack available for free on this website: https://gfx-station.com/polygon-horror-carnival-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty We genuinely thought it was legitimately obtainable from there and didn’t realize it might not be an authorized source. That was an honest mistake on our part, we weren’t trying to misuse any assets or hide anything. As in the gameplay we had a small team and limited time and this was a small project that wasn't meant to be that much as this is our first game jam and we're beginners
we apologize for this
Hey There,
For a first Game Jam. Its a good start!Its alot better than those who never get a start into Jams in the first place. Definitely be mindful of where assets are taken from. GFX-Station just steals from artists and developers and charges without any profit. FAB, Humble Bundle, Sketchfab and Artstation are typically best places to get legit assets from! Hoping to more Game Jams too ^^
