Damn I'm so sad..... I got to the final day and needed to restart the generator, which I did. But then I tried to sleep and it gave me the message that "You need to restart generator". Then I couldn't open the door again to exit :[

If theres a video of the ending please send Q_Q.

That aside:

Pros: 

Intro warning screen had amazing visuals and really set the tone.

Strong Transition into the main menu

Main Menu really helped contextualize the story

All the little tid bits of allusions where charming!

Love the changing photo graph on the wall

Amazing auditory cues that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time

Great sound fx and the constant feeling of something is lurking around the corner.

Cons:

Bug towards end of game

Chromatic Aberration effect a little strong so numbers at the bottom where hard to read. Are those 5's or 3'? 8's??

Would love to see more easter eggs, not sure 100% of the story

Overall definitely a scary game. Enjoyed playing till the point that I got. Nice expansion on a simple concept. I think certain visual novels can drag on a little long but this hit the sweet spot. Slightly wish I could type the numbers out with my keypad but that might've taken away from the gameplay. Well made! Especially if this was a solo dev... the impressiveness was on point.   

this was SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE. That ending was beautiful. Speaking of beatiful, visuals were amazing. It's amazing how u managed to create something so mysterious and unique. The audio was great as well, the little sfx throughout the game created a great atmosphere and made me a little paranoid lol But well this is such a great game already, idk how u managed to do this for a jam! Congrats I loved it <3

I think this is the best jam game I have played so far. This is really an amazing game considering you had only a week. It's deeply inspired, disturbing, mysterious, and sent tons of shivers down my spine.  The Dies Irae in the ending was the cherry on top. On the other hand, I didn't fully grasp the story, only the main vibes and themes. Maybe I lost some interactions, or maybe you kept it intentionally cryptic (which I think is also understandable given your inspiration from Lynch works).

Amazing stuff, keep making great games!

Very well done! The atmosphere and aesthetic of this one are wonderful. Very unnerving and certainly creepy. I did find that for the most part it didn't feel like there was much to do, but as a jam I certainly understand why. I did encounter a soft-lock, where during the final moments of the game (or what i assume are), I went back into the bedroom and shut the door and could not leave lol. Overall great job on this one, at the top of the list for me

Man, what a game, dude! I confess I didn't understand much of what was going on, but I felt something deep in my soul. The whole atmosphere was extremely well-built; this game was simply insane to play. Congrats!

I knew the picture would change I called it! (with no one around lol) Freaking fantastic game. I loved the vibes and graphics. The ending tied with the music and all of that stuff happening was just great. Overall a good submission! 

Incredible sound design and unique feel, I loved how real it felt while also having such an interesting art style, the strange audio cues definitely spooked me, especially the pss haha. The ending is cinematic and just well executed. Brilliant, my favourite so far! Very, very well done :)

MMVP goes to this game. Executing horror without reliance on jump scares and masterfully setting the pace and atmosphere to create psychological horror. That one painting is pretty creepy on its own. 

There is that one saying, the biggest fear is fear itself  ---Franklin Roosevelt (?).
I think this game embodies that quote quite well. 

Great job on the game!

This is the most polished game I’ve seen so far, and has some of the most striking visuals I’ve ever seen in a horror game. The scene where we enter the locked room really hit hard for me, the story was very well thought out. If you could write it in a spoiler tag, I’ve love to have an explanation for the ending scene. Amazing work overall!

Im rioting if this doesnt win the jam, this is so incredibly impressive, atmospheric, so much tension, you had a compelling story, amazing music. everything. this game is a 5/5 stars in all categories, legit making me jealous.

A very atmospheric and genuinely scary game! I really liked the inverted UI - it gives a unique feel - and the fact that you can go up to the attic. The autosave feature is also a nice touch!

One of the best games in this entire jam. Visually, the game has an amazing aesthetic and, to me, ranks alongside some of the best indie horror games in terms of pure visuals. The sound design is incredible; just a single noise is enough to spook me because of how well the atmosphere is built. The concept of using a phone booth in such a solitary place is not only visually interesting, but even when nothing overtly scary is happening, it really creeps into your mind.

The game itself, the way it moves, the way it controls, and how perfectly everything is implemented, does not even feel like a game jam project. It feels like a fully polished horror game I would actually buy, and it is better than many horror games I have paid for even considering its length. It is a very short yet haunting experience. I really enjoyed it; its atmosphere and horror were amazing. This game is pure art.

Though I do wish the Morse code and all of that were jotted down on our notepad so that we could decode it later!

I loved every second of this. I can absolutely see the inspiration by David Lynch here, your game hits some of the notes - the heavy industrial visuals, the subtlety in conveying the meaning. Amazing work.

Our games have some really similar aesthetics and mechanics :D

The game is really wellmade, the tension building up at the final night was really really good, made me scared to walk LOL! But I am not sure what happened, but nothing was going on, I went outside and back in, and still nothing was happening, turns out you have to close the generator door thingy for the game to progress, instead of just flipping the switch, which made me quite confused and sadly, lost the amazing and anxiety inducing tension built beforehand for me, its little details like this that can really kill games sometimes cause this could have been a geniune PERFECT horror jam game experience!

The story telling is quite abstract and poetic but the morse code playing on the phone should deffinelty have been written down in the notebook, the game actually intrigued me enough to go decipher the codes that were vissually present on the little phone screen, and I deffinetly would have gone and deciphered the codes if they were to be written in the note book, I am not sure what the audio morse codes say but the first morse code that was vissualy represented (hi dad) really gave me the idea of what the game was suppose to be about and without me decifering it, it would have made the game alot more confusing story wise. Although if the audio morse code was just nonsence, it really added to the creepy vibe of the game, this language that was created for ussually sending out disstress calls that a small amount of people know now a days, and hearing it could really mean anything, is it a warning, a messege? Adds a bit to the terror so I do not think it is all bad.

At the beggining of the game, I was kind of lost as to how the door was supose to be open lol, I first spammed the crank, then I held it and saw the open button, clicked again and the crank just turned again, I at first figured the door was not even supose to be opened, so it kinda lost me for a bit, could have signaled a bit better that you have to click on the door and not the crank, thankfull this was the beggining of the game and didn't ruin the flow of it that much.

Top marks, probably the best game I have seen so far, splendid work !
