I really loved this game! The excavator mechanics felt really fun to mess around with and very satisfying. The vibes of the endless graveyard were immaculate; I am a sucker for orange desert-y wastelands and graveyards. Definitely inspired by iron lung in a really creative new direction. Also, the only game this jam to actually scare the hell out of me lmao. The little computer was so cool too! I instantly started tinkering around in its terminal to see if I can mess with it haha.
My only suggestion would be maybe checking if you can disable lumen or enable other optimizations because the game really made my computer chug; such is the struggle with unreal.
I would LOVE to see this as a full on game!

Thanks for playing, it was fun watching it on stream. It means a ton to hear such praise around the art, since I am a programmer and have always struggled with visuals. As for performance, I've learned a lot this jam and will definitely be looking into optimizing unreal for performance instead of just file size. And also doing web builds, because no one likes downloading random zip files lmao.
Appreciate the feedback, and glad I could get you with the jump scare😎
