As a massive fan of the first entry in the "Buried Tapes" series, I don't think the second tape was well polished and considering that it was made for a game jam  - I wish it would've stayed as a solo project.

As a game developer, who has participated in game jams, I do understand the pressure. Some jams have limitations, time restrictions, I can get behind that. Although, I think this game could've been made outside of this jam and given more time for bug fixing, mechanic polishing, etc. 

The start of the game is stellar - creepy atmosphere, decent visuals, couple of effective jump scares. But then, the driving sequence occurs, which I won't spoil for anyone.
The driving mechanic is bad. You can't turn at all, constantly crash and the car flips over. I heavily edited the video, because I kept pressing "R" so that the car would flip over and drive normally. Maybe after the jam is over, you can polish it more, but for now, sadly, it was a bit disappointing. 

Nevertheless, I still look forward to the next tape and will be watching the progress. Best of luck.
