definitely a strange place with such a creepy vibe, it was the scariest game i played in the jam, congrats!

This is a very interesting game, and well done. The place is quite strange. I'd be interested to hear some of the story/lore behind it. At first I thought it was a confused on what to do but after you get to the table it is pretty easy to figure out. My one complaint(its really minor) would be that on the end screen, your mouse remains locked so you can't actually click quit. Overall, a really solid game.

Wow this was really well done! The perspective shift to the robot is creative and it's unsettling to see what used to be your body on the operating table. I really like the texturing of the monster and the body, great job on that. The only issue I had was it was sometimes hard to interact with the body parts, but I was still able to get to the ending. Nice work!

Really good implementation of strange places, it was strange indeed. Environment was very well done. I think there could have been bit more things to do or variation of things to do. But for a jam entry this is so good.

Really good vibe and fits the theme well. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Was expecting a twist at some point, something else to do or manage would have made things way more intense. Still good job, liked what was there.

So the place is weird...some may say it's strange. I really liked the atmosphere and the sound effects for sure but can this really be called a game? I could see this as the first part of a horror/narrative driven experience as a prelude to something but by itself it doesn't really have a gameplay. If seen through the lens of a prologue the setting surely has potential.

Developer

Yes, i see the idea, i thought something similar when making the game; due to time reasons i couldn't make it more complete but it being a prologue was something i wanted, however i think it is a game or a minigame because you have a task, a "penalty" for not doing it and an ending. Thanks for playing!

this was freaaky! Good atmosphere. I like the obscure icons explaining the purpose of LMB and E :D

The vibe and  setting of the room was nice. The monster mouth that ate the body parts was maybe a bit too cartoonish but besides that I liked the setup of the surgery room. Good job!

Wow! That was cool. Like a short movie. First I thought it was novel that we started on the ground, crawling, but then it ramped up. Body horror and cosmic horror combined. And with pretty cool implied lore. Great work!

It’s a solid concept for an entry. The aesthetic and the puzzle elements gave me slight Scorn-like vibes, particularly the sacrifice-based mechanics. It definitely captures the “Strange Place” theme well.

The game fits the jam theme perfectly! I really loved the 3D environment. I was a bit lost at first, but it became super intuitive after playing for a bit. The 3D design and the music were definitely key to making it so immersive. Great job, I really liked it!

Really nice visuals and gameplay!

Very strange and very good! Reminds me of SCORN, in a good way. Does feeding the robot parts to the mouth change anything? But overall fantastic!

Developer

thank you! it was directly inspired by scorn! Originally i wanted a second ending with the robot parts but due to time restriction couldn't be done

A strange and enjoyable game that I liked. The grapichs were very nice

unique concept! got a little confused of what that mouth thing, never seen a game like this!

Submitted(+1)

Very unique game! The visuals were very nice and I was able to intuitively tell what needed to be done next. This definitely fits the theme very well. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Somehow I got thrown off when I cut off my leg and ended up on the left side of the bridge. I think the game is going in a great direction, but the bugs are preventing me from enjoying the experience.
