How does your game fit the theme?
We combined two senses from humans, sight and hearing. Only if you merge these abilities together, you will be able to escape the lab.
Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?

Nice game! It really spooked me out :P
You can add something with which you can kill the zombies (Maybe power-ups you can collect along the way), because the game is really hard as of now.
The blood in the hallway adds to the scary atmosphere. Good job!
Excellent horror game! I tended to get stuck on edges a lot, as did the zombies, so smaller hitboxes and some AI might help with gameplay. Needs more ways to interact with sound and light, like items you can throw/set up that make light or sound (a bell you can toss, a cell phone you can leave behind and then call from a landline, etc.) or mirrors and other optical terrain that you can shine light off of. Some areas where the lights suddenly turn on for a short intense dash through a room with zombies that can see you (with an accompanying music change) would help to break up the horror segments and spice up gameplay.
Really spooky entry! The stinger sound when a zombie spots you actually got me a few times. Our entries are similar in some aspects, so it was also very interesting to see how both designed each similarity. I like that you fleshed out the idea more, with different types of zombies and the addition of a flashlight, along with a more detailed environment, with corpses and blood on the hallways.
Really nice entry overall! It's nice to see a horror game for a jam entry.
The atmosphere is incredible in this game. It was actually pretty damn scary at time and the lighting helps add to this creepy dark atmosphere. The mechanic of the flashlight works really well in making the environment creepier. Since from what I can tell the flashlight is what attracts the zombies to you but is also your only real way of knowing what is going on. So it leads to this cool dichotomy where the flashlight is your main tool of survival but can also be your death sentence. All in all interesting horror game with well executed mechanics.
Great job on this game with amazing atmosphere! Loved exploring the lab, it was a great experience. Great work!
Great ambience, it's a fine work.
Well, I didn't manage to break my way out because of a mixed feeling of fear and "Shit, I'm not in control !", but sure, it was nice.
OOF i really got scared with that first zombie. You really nailed the horror feeling! I personally think it's a bit too hard to find your way, You have to repeatedly die and figure out what the path is, sure it adds to the feeling of fear but it makes the gameplay kinda frustrating after a while. That said, the mechanics are nice, luring enemies away from the path you need to take using different senses allows for some tricky puzzle like levels, and the art is very representative of what happens on screen, it fits well. Sound effects and music were really good. Btw, Idk if you know this already, but if you're moving when the first dialogue happens in the tutorial room the player stops but the animation keeps going, along with the sounds of the steps. Overall really nice entry!
Thank you very much for taking the time and writing this detailed comment. I agree that the game is very hard and the way of dieing and dieing so often is not the best thing. Its very nice that you liked the game! We know that the animations are a bit buggy in the tutorial but we added it half an hour before the submit, but anyways thanks a lot for your kind feedback!
The first zombie to come out definitely made me jump! I'm not great with horror games, I did my best but didn't quite have the guts to get through the final levels. Still, I really like the concept and the sound design and art worked well to create a moody and unnerving atmosphere. I am a bit unsure if the game fully fits the theme, it's quite impressive regardless. Good job!
You really captured a great atmosphere and it's really impressive that everything was created in just 48hrs, I like the idea of having the two different enemies that you can only identify with the same tools that will allow them to find you, but, I think perhaps it's a bit too punishing in that regards, as soon as any of the zombies got sight of me that would simply chase me down even after turning off the tools and running, and the range of the sound "sight" made it so unless I was spamming it I'd walk into the zombies before I could see them more often than not.
Overall I think it's a great idea and the presentation is top-notch, really impressive work!
Hmmm, that could be an interesting addition yea, or perhaps some sort of little visual indicator around the player when they are near a zombie, not giving out direction or anything so they'd still have to use their tools to find it, but, it'd give you something to help identify the sound based zombies a bit better. Lots of ways you could go about it, and there's every chance that I'm just bad XD
This game is spooky in its good meaning , i was really in effect of the atmosphere - and it's a great idea with it's great implementation , GO M8!
Oh wow! This is the first horror game I've seen in this jam and it does very well in that regards. I love the sfx, they're very immersive, the setting is well-made too and the little set pieces with the dead body and the blood really set the mood. The whistling and flash-light mechanic were also great too. One nitpick though is that the guitar music that plays in the background is a bit much for the setting and if it were replaced with a softer more eerie track that would really sell the tone of the game. Another thing, I fail to see how this game fits the theme of the jam :/
I am not a fan of horror but for the sake of game jams, DAMN. This games got me so immersed I started having goosebumps. Really good artworks and really good movement. The atmosphere is so perfect. Great job!!!
Can't believe how easily I get scared by these types of games! By the time I met the first zombie I was TERRIFIED! Loved the artwork. Well done!
very good artwork and music, especially for 48 hours.
I think just a bit more light radius would of been helpful.
Also maybe put the collider only on the lower half of the character rather than the entire thing, might make walking around a bit better.
Overall though great use of the mechanic and fun idea. I enjoyed it.
Fun entry and a mechanic! I wouldn't lie if the zombies didn't spook me a little the first time I bumped into one.
I feel there's more to explore with this concept and perhaps some cool way you could involve the flashlight more down the line, perhaps by adding some kind of solar panels you need to charge with your flashlights ( not super realistic, but y'know ), or enemies that react in strange or eerie ways with the light beam, perhaps darting really quickly across the light to signal it's about to attack from behind
Great job though, I enjoyed what you did :)
Awesome to hear!
I think there could be something there, I feel a temporary scare might not be too interesting. However, maybe you could have the ability to throw some kind of light or turn on lights that attract zombies away from you, just to play more into the idea of light and sound :)
I'm sure there's a cool way to incorporate scaring the zombies though, I'm just not too sure. Unless there was some kind of monster hierarchy and you you could use the head or blood of a monster they react in fear towards to spook them away :s Maybe there's something cool there
All depends on the implementation
Have fun experimenting :)
