Very nice game, it looks good, and plays really smoothly. I feel like having worked a shift in that warehouse only to get jumpscared at the end :D Great job!

The aesthetics of this game are what caught my attention the most, it is just generic PSX but it just looks like better PSX, I'm not really sure how to describe it. the task system is quite simple and easy to pick up even if you missed the instructions (which I was to busy looking around to listen to the guy while he was telling me what to do). the environments looks really good to, I'm a sucker for realistic environments and there being stuff in the area but not stuff that doesn't make sense to be there is a real pleasure to see for me personally. My only complaint is that the giant skin creature thing shows up with no reason to be there, and it does nothing the first time it shows up so it really took all of the scare factor out of it for me, I think it would have been better if it appeared for a split second and then disappeared right away or have it show up on the catwalk, somewhere far away, or a place the player can't get to instead of just on the ground where I could just walk up to it and not be punished for it. Great game anyway and a truly well put together game for Jam standards, great work!

This is well put together and spooky! Like other comments have said this had a dreamlike feel to it. Great work!

This is a well made game, and one of the few entries that is actually scary, Great job!

Damn, maybe hiding those drugs in my ass wasn't a good idea after all...

Interesting little game, you are definitely on the right track in terms of building suspense and dread. You could maybe some weird sound effects to boost the tension, because as of now blood appearing only after sorting each delivery rendered the game really predictable , and as a consequence not really scary for the most part. Another idea I had was that maybe one of the boxes labeled for inceneration would suddenly open, revealing a body inside (but without any forced loud noises, we want to build tension and uncertainty, not just make the player jump for the sake of it), which you would of course still have to burn. 

Overral, the project has a lot of potential, great job!

Keep up the good work!

The atmosphere was great, very simple but effective felt like a nightmare

At first, the game seemed simple. Just placing boxes on the shelves. But as I kept playing, the atmosphere made me feel constantly on edge, wondering if something was going to scare me. I have to admit, this game is truly terrifying.

Yup got me scared :D I had to lower sound volume caused I got spooked a bit. Very tens and it's nicely paced

This is actually quality horror. There is a clear build up making me tense the whole way through. It's a well polished game too, interacting with the world feel intuitive and the way you use lighting to indicate where to go is superb. On that note, you should add a light near the conveyor belt. I got distracted when the monster first appeared and ran around, thinking I did all the boxes. Turns out I missed one at the edge of the conveyor belt, I couldn't see it cause it's so dark

Very nice. I love stocking stuff on the shelves so I enjoyed that part of the gameplay. Sounds design was awesome. And very importantly it's quite scary. I like how it's just some random stuff at the beginning, then you see a creature doing nothing just breathing... Best horror I've played so far on this jam!
