The kind of horror that I can stomach :P Fan of that! I love the vibes, in fact, and I think the idea is super original for the jam and really interesting! I like that you're basically coding your team mates. It's really neat to make it beyond just a puzzle -> it's a puzzle that you have to reason + deduce your way to solve.
I know it's against the "countdown" theme maybe, but I would have liked a pause command that let me better take in all the info I had. Like, maybe not when someone is counting down to MAKE a decision (Cause then you could just cheat) but any time where there's peace/just investigation going on, it'd be nice if I could take a minute and see what I've got. Without another comment coming up and adding more.
Thaaaat may just be me though, and the time given is really fair as it is.
Point is, I'd love to see this expanded on out of the jam! I'm impressed that so much was done IN the time, too! Great game, thrilling experience!
