Just watched the Bigmode Game Jam recap on youtube... and while I haven't played this yet, looks great. Question for the devs, was this inspired by "Midnight Rescue!", and old The Learning Company game? because the dark building being chased by monsters (or robots in the case of Midnight Rescue) that you have to take pictures of is straight from some of my core gamer memories with that classic :D

Very incredible entry, both technically and thematically! I hope this gets more ratings in the following period, because all of the assets, gameplay mechanics, and ideas that went into this were just insanely polished and interesting to experience. The mechanics behind capturing and fleeing ghosts while cranking your camera added a layer of stress that was really intense, and the perspective shifting was really ambitious for a game jam game. I hope I can see more things coming out of this concept in the future, and I can't understate how impressive the game is for its scope, design, and polish under the time limit.

Host KillerVery nice game! Love the horror atmosphere and the visuals.
Always assign both WASD and arrow keys to movement!

Radiant ExposureSuper high quality on this. I really loved the resident evil feel and the camera mechanics were super intuitive. It took some learning, but the tutorial helped a lot to understand what to do. The visuals and aesthetic were super well done (the filter you put on was super cool). I also appreciated all the sound bites, except the crazy stuff going on when you're in the van lol. Impressive stuff!

BonkéAwesome stuff! The dimensional switch really elevates the gameplay. The sounds effects when a monster approaches builds tension well. I kept feeling like my sprint was never reliable, though. Some indication of its availability might go a long way. Excellent atmosphere and execution of the concept!

Blessed SheepThe music/sound FX were great, the art as well. The switch from 2D to 3D is well made. The game is great but, interactables could be more distinct than other objects in scene, stamina bar or a indication of stamina level through animation would be good, and maybe once caught a jumscare animation would make it more scarier. But for a game jam pretty impresive and great game. Deserves more in my opinion.

SlimeModeThe design of the audio SFX in the intro was really cool. There's something creepy about switching from top-down to first-person which really added to the vibe of the game, and the core mechanic was cool. How'd you manage making 2D and 3D assets during the jam?

Moe's Diner DuelMy favorite part is how it goes into 3D when you take pictures. You could make a whole game based on that concept alone. Fantastic job: original, fun, and kept me interested longer than most games in this jam!
