Nice, really well polished, a creepy cohesive art style and interesting mechanics that were fun to learn! It took me longest to learn the 'states machine' and how its lever affected it. Great sound design and dirty lens effects,
It took me a couple of tries to understand how it worked, but reading the description helped. The place where the syringe appears is perhaps the most confusing part of all, and I don't think I would have figured it out if I hadn't read it directly. Once you know what each thing does and how it works, the stress begins of trying to keep everything at the levels they should be considering the passage of time. It's very stressful, and it always dies on me because of the decay... Poor thing!
This is a really cool almost puzzle like game, it took me a few attempts to figure out what I was able to do. I think the stressful nature of trying to keep everything topped off while having the disturbing dude in the middle room lends itself to the horror aspect.
A fairly interesting idea. It took me little bit figure out exactly how the machines worked, but i can see a satisfying gameplay loop manifesting here. But I'm not sure how well the syringes are staving off the decay if at all. I put like 5 syringes into the patient, and yet the decay barely gets brought down to 70. Art and Atmosphere is great tho. At the moment i can't imagine making something like this by myself.
A really fun idea and such a cool art style!
We struggled a bit and I don't think we got past 8 days, but we really enjoyed the trial and error and restarts.
The game is quite pretty in its simplicity, and it sounds good! I like the overall idea!
That being said, I struggled to get the gameplay: Quite often I would experience black-fades for no apparent reason, losing substantial points. Not sure if this is an intentional thing because I messed up, but it certainly didn't feel like a bug.
Other than that it was quite cool to explore and tinker with the machines, strugling to keep them in check. It integrates the theme very well and createas a hopeless, depressing and most importantly horrific atmosphere - all things I do want from a horror game!
Helloo, I forgotten to mention it on the description, but each time an hour passes in game that black blinks/fade happens, honestly this was added on the last hours of the jam, so it does look weird, thanks for the feedback!!, I'm glad you liked it
I love the art and the gameplay is fun as well(I was like playing with the prisioner for while xD). Smart way to fit with the theme. Again, a huge congrats for the art it looks amazing :)
Things to improve? I think the GUI and user experience will help to make the game more readable.
Very nice! Love the art, how polished it looks (also the itch.io page), the sounds, and the voice-over.
Reminded me of some obscure Flash torture game I played once back in my younger days. Very dark and cool submission!
