This game caught me off guard, it scared me a lot at the beginning with the alert and the code, pretty immersive. the graphics are incredible, they perfectly captured the essence of the PSX something that i LOVE, thank you so much for this experience

Developer

thank you! The game is getting a total upgrade after the jam, if you feel like it stick around!

Great game, reminds me a little of silent hill.

Developer

that's a huge compliment. Thank you!

This one is quite an experience, hey?

At first I thought it was a weird PT clone with no indication, so I was never sure what to expect and it succeed in creating a feeling of dread.

But then come the first puzzle and I didn't figure out I needed to check in the game files to crack the code, so I was obligated to repeat the same sequence three time in a row before giving up and looking for the solution around.

The lack of indication and the weird atmosphere help to create something very unique, but the cryptic puzzle tend make the experience frustrating in the end. So this game really act as a double-edged sword.

All in all I enjoy the game, and I will give you credit for the original idea.

Developer

thank you for your feedback! I am working on updating the game, to hopefully deliver a better experience! If you are up for it, stick around! The update will probably drop in a week or so.

S**t myself when the thing was on the car! Very clever mechanic with the hex code thing:) Really enjoyed this one!

i like the aesthetics of the game and the car jumpscare got me, i was confused with the files stuff and only figured out the first key because of the comments. nice job though reminded me of puppet combo

Developer

Thank you! I am working on a more approachable design to my puzzles, and i hope you stick around after the jam to play the updated version!

Took me a  bit to realize the game card existed, but the scenery was enough to get me to come back and revisit this one. This misty/foggy winter is definitely the strength of this game.

I also appreciate the code entry as someone who got jumpscared by one of those things as a kid haha

Developer

Yeah, i should have made it a bit more obvious. Thanks for playing!

Gosh this is soooo good!!! I love these winter sceneries.

Thank you so much! <3

Great game!  The environment looks great. It felt like an actual old PlayStation game. There was a really creepy event in this game that I really liked (no spoilers). I liked how players are given an additional piece of application to decrypt the codes. Will definitely play the full version when it's out. Nice entry! πŸ‘πŸ»

I really liked the use of resources, it also has a great atmosphere, truly scary. Awesome game!

Developer

Thank you! <3

Nice atmosphere!
Horror + winter = good old classic.
Also screamer forced me to jump, lol.

But story and requirements to do some things out of the game...it's interesting, but inconsistent in my opinion.

Developer(+1)

thank you! You can understand, there was not enough time to go through everything. I will keep on working on it though!

Very well made. Love the atmosphere!

This was a very cool and interesting game. Loved the fact that you needed to go into the game files to solve a puzzle in the game. Was also very freaked out when I saw the hallway full of eyes for the first time.

Wow, what a good idea! What a fantastic idea! I can for sure say the same for the game aesthetics! I loved this game so much! Congrats!

The art and aesthetic hooked me in and I loved the signs, but ultimately didn't end up finishing the game. It is a bit confusing to hop into blind and I couldn't figure out the translator, but I think with some more work it could be really solid. 

Developer

Thank you! Yes the game needs much more work. I was afraid many of the mechanics would be quite unclear, and turns out, some reworking needs to be done. If you could stick around after the end of the jam, maybe play the updated version and give me some feedback, that would be greatly appreciated.

I went through the cycle about 4 times before realising I need to open the PNG file haha. This really surprised me with how good it ended up being.

Developer

thank you!!

Amazing experience. It was fun getting the codes to progress.  Interesting game mechanic!

It did move kind of slowly at times but overall was a great experience!

Developer(+1)

thank you for playing! Hope you stick around for the update coming after the jam ends!

I got stuck between a small and large tree during the fog area and couldn't move.

The footsteps get a bit obnoxious to listen to.

The initial couple minutes is kind of boring with nothing happening but then things pick up. The long walks back and forth do get old though.

The jumpscare behind the car was scary.

The art is really nice I enjoyed it. 

Overall very cool entry with a well crafted atmosphere.

Sorry to hear that! Once the rating period is over, i will upload a fix on it. There are a lot of stuff wrong with the game right now, but there seems to be plenty of motivation to fix them. Thank you for your feedback, and glad you enjoyed it!
