Cool graphics and atmosphere. Like the PS1 vibes. Voiceovers are hillarious :) Game is pretty janky though, i think it's part of it's charm. Movement and rotation speed is too slow. Perspective is off, the player is not standing in the center of the tile or the objects are not aligned according to player's position. You have to press x to go through a door and we always enter the room side ways for some reason. Good thing there's free look feature, otherwise picking up items would be very hard. 

Combat looks good but it's glitchy too. When you use elbow grease and select strength the enemy instantly die.  I think it was supposed to be a buff. I uses cleaning supplies against enemies but i don't know which one is weaker too which item and there's no feedback showing how much damage i dealt to the enemy so i had no idea whether they worked or not. The combat system looks pretty interesting but i think you ran out of time before fully implementing it.

Short and sweet game with a nice sense of humour. Nice work!

Got a bit confused at what were the actions and what they were useful for. Maybe if there was something "logical" like, the shelf is broken and you have to use tools, etc...

Otherwise I found it pretty funny with the voice audio and the little background story.

I was quite suprised at how good the right-click to look around was working with the movement (usually you can only look or change view and move, here, looking actually made you move in that direction).

Maybe with some more time and refinement, something nice can be done out of it :)

TWIST! I became a dragon! I loved it. Great voice acting work!

The game isn't very long but what's there is fun. The environments are detailed and look good, voice acting is cool and the strong sound effects fit what you're doing (like fighting things). I love that you put the resolution part into a battle system with a Stamina bar to manage and even the opportunity to increase your strength, it totally gives an RPG feeling to a game which could be an adventure game as its cores just using the right items. Weird/horror/surreal RPGs where you're fighting items have always been something I like and I like how combat is presented here so I enjoyed my journey through the game.

I dislike that entering a Room rotates you.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice short game. The combat although was confusing and didn't know how to get solvents, etc. for use. And I'm not sure how I defeated enemies either. The models are solid though.

The voiceover is awesome. The movement and traversal could be improved greatly: the hallways are too wide (my first instinct is to strafe left and right and got confused why my character wont move), turn and walk speed is too slow, and you don't have press a key to enter a room unless its blocked by a door. The visuals and atmosphere is nice like a horror game, and making cleaning up like a standard RPG combat is hilarious (Oh no, a flying trophy cabinet! Aaah!)  Good luck on your gamedev journey!

That one was a bit wonky. The gameplay does not feel like a traditional Dungen Crawler, more like on of those FMV multi CD games from the late 90s. Which is cool I guess, but the movement needs more work. The camera often did not really align well with the grid. Going through the doors should not neet an extra command and should conform to the grid. The homemade audio is funny and the graphic are rather nicely made. I think, that I did not really understand the battle system and hacked away with the up key. The cleaning theme is well implementend and funny, too.

Oh cool another Unreal user for this Jam!  :D I noticed your movement breaks though when rotating at random times (I got really badly offset in the room on the second level you fight the girl!). I had the same issue in my project, whenever you Lerp it to rotate unreal does a weird conversion and adds a offset to the value so can't get perfect 90 degree turns sadly :/ I ended up going doing just instant rotations no lerp to avoid it (But the game I was imitating was that way anyway). Let me know if you all manage to find a fix please! 

But back to the game chat xD  I was a bit unsure of how the combat worked but the environment was neat and the voice over was do die for (In a good way haha). God work on being one of the more unique jams :)  

Cool game, and really impressive for a first game! I wish my first one had been this good :). Love the voiceovers, they added a lot of charm. Some things you could improve after the jam would be the combat, and the movement. Movement felt off-grid at times, and combat usually devolved into spamming elbow grease. Fun game though, and happy that you've joined us game devs!

Voice over was the best part of the game. The crawling and combat less so, but nice that you got some use of your new knowledge. You are well on your gamedev journey!

Hey, that’s an interesting entry. It’s very non-conventional in terms of dungeon crawlers and it shows.

I felt confused by the combat system, I didn’t get the idea of what is going on until I’ve beaten up the game. But it really felt like a small puzzle in the end - go there, find bleach, use it here, find oil, use it in another place, find solvent, finish the game.

I really loved the voice over, in my opinion it always adds a touch of charm.

As kunic mentioned it felt like you’re always off the grid and dungeon crawling part wasn’t the strongest, as the dungeon was around 20 positions with actions not respecting the direction you’re facing and one of the enemies being completely off-axis.

It’s a great start for a first game! Keep it up, gain experience, rinse and repeat.

Here’s my play-through:

“What the hell have those kids done to that ceiling!?!” while ignoring the dead body right there is unintentionally very funny lol. Loved the visuals! I think the grid pacing could’ve been done better (kinda felt like every position was predetermined and placed haphazardly), but interesting take on a dungeon crawler nonetheless. I think this could be repurposed into a pretty neat PSX-style horror game.

Could you walk me through the RPS/Heroes mess/Dragon inclusion? I think the RPS but was with interface that used the arrow keys, but smacking everything just seemed to work. Were the kids the heroes? And what was with the dragon at the end just kinda being there?
