!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!

.

Hey, loving the game so far. I wanted to share some feedback and a few bugs I've encountered so far.

Bugs:

1). When the propane tank error pops up, you can remove the 'faulty' one and put it right back, which makes the other tanks around the map useless.

2). You can remove the drill bit even while the drilling process is active.

3). Notes collected still appear in your inventory after starting a new game.

4). If you hold SHIFT to run and pick up heavy items, you start walking slowly. If you drop the item while still holding SHIFT, you return to normal speed instead of the game remembering that you were holding SHIFT. This may not be a bug, but I wanted to mention it regardless.

Some side comments; I just wanted to share my thoughts down below, so take it with a grain of salt.

1). I loved the panic moment when the timer starts, but the tension fades fast since you have a full 5 minutes; the game feels fairly easy because of that, given there's so many spare items around but you only need to replace like 2. I would've loved this to be more challenging/on the edge, maybe a harder mode or a speedrun mode implemented on the side, but you'll have to prevent hoarding the items beforehand - then again I'm not sure if you want to expand this game more.

2). I couldn't fully decipher the Morse code, I've only got "KPS?LAWA", which doesn't seem to make sense; or is it just a placeholder?

3). Are there more than 2 endings? I've tried so many different strats but I'm really all out of options.

Regardless of anything, 10/10. Loved the buttery smooth feeling of the game and the Sepia filter/rusty like visuals. The game really gives off an eerie atmosphere, like the sense of being the last person alive and that nothing else matters.

I'll post my gameplay video soon!! 🫡

Hi! Huge thanks for putting so much attention into playing the game!

Some of the bugs might be present due to the compressed development timeline (the game was made in 3–4 days for a game jam). I'll see if I can push an update soon to address them.

Initially, I wanted to make the timer set to 4 minutes instead of 6, but I was afraid it wouldn't be enough for an average player. Looking at gameplay videos, I now see that I probably underestimated players abilities haha. The strategy of bringing everything close to the drill beforehand is something most players seem to do, and I honestly hadn't even thought about it during development lol.

The game has only 2 endings. Regarding the radio - it's an old Soviet propaganda slogan encoded in Morse code (SLAVA KPSS → "Glory to the Soviet party" 💀💀). I took this from another game that's currently in development and added it here just for the vibes.

Thank you again for playing! Such detailed feedback truly means a lot.

Hey, thanks a lot for responding to my comment! I just noticed that this was made for a Game Jam, so I'm sorry about the detailed "this and that"! Now it makes a lot more sense given the game length, it's just perfect for a game jam entry. On the Morse code, I had a feeling it's something about "SLAVA" since my "S?LAWA" guessing; I don't know how the KPSS part went over my head given the game vibe; there's like a weird sudden burst of two dots sound in the middle of the code that made it confusing, either 5 or 6 dots (5 dots = number 5, so that would make sense = "KPS5LAWA").

Anyways, thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my comments and for clearing up my confusion. I'll be posting my gameplay video in a bit, I just need to do some final editing beforehand 🫡

Wishing you all the best! ❤️
