Hi guys! I'm Nicolas -43 yo musician from France- and i am available for this jam to make a whole soundtrack. I'm specially looking for a team who wants to professionalize and adds a cool project to their portfolio or even develop  it to a full release later.

 Been writing/performing/recording/releasing music since the mid2000s and in 2025 i decided to make video game soundtracks too. Here's my souncloud - all tracks featured come from game jams and projects i did this year! DM me if interested.

this is the scariest game of tha jam! the feel is incredible, really good job, at times i wouldn't even dare to look at the screen!!! 

!!!! this one was sooooo disturbing...the visuals, the voice, it was short but it totally delivered,  congrats!!! i actually loved the jump scares!!!! 

nice demo! the rapture setting is is a cool idea. There are a few bugs sometimes between rooms, i had to restart twice but i managed to go up to the "end".  Do you plan to develop the rest of the story? curious to know where it goes!

thanks! i'll try that!!

cool! :-)

really feels like you're in a desperate situation! i haven't reached past the amputation, i think i 've 3 or 4 endings. Is there a "good" ending, can you really survive? again, congrats for the game, it's really cool, i really appreciate the psychological angle too: the writing is top notch. Kudos!//

oooh these jumpscares!!!!! love the aesthetic of your game, with the camera perspective and all. Great atmosphere. As it has been mentioned, the lighting is really a strong point, how you play with light and darkness to create an unsettling mood, it's really nicely done.  Scary!!!!!Good job!!!!

wow this is truly unsetlling! Feels a bit like Dune meets the Terror meets Lovecraft, congrats!! The visuals are impressive and you really succeeded in creating a sense of dread, survival and loneliness. You really got the nightmarish polar expedition vibe right...and these creatures and how they attack are super scary, geez!! 😀

thank you for playing this little game and for the feedback!!!! :-)

good work!!! i really appreciated the sense of solitude and exploration. And those little details that make it quite polished for a jam. The map and the compass was also a good idea and it  makes the feel of the game very "real", the atmospheric vibe is top!!! I only found 3 crew member so far, have to try again :-)

Hi! Sure, i'm a big john carpenter fan and i love weird ambient horror soundtracks...this is my discord if you're still interested: nicopboy

this is a unique mood and world, i'm not sure i understood any of it -and i'l not saying this as a negative point haha-, but it has a really interesting setting and vibe and got me hooked till the end!   I have to play the previous games now! 

great story, mood and art!! the black'n'white look was a cool idea, really fitting, and -as others have  said- the overall execution of the story was really well done. congrats!!!//

DISCLAIMER: i used 3 sprites created with AI. everything else was done by me, art, code and music :-) 

Oh that's really good! It starts simple and gets more challenging as each new rules and family are added! Congrats

Love the animation and art! Really polished too! Gameplay is basic but it works, which is great for such a short jam Time !

Simple but fun. Love the art and feel!

Version française! Tu es français? (ou Canadien peut être?).  Salutations d'un compatriote si c'est le cas (je réside à Toulouse) 😁

very nice! the artwork and sound are top and the levels have an interesting progression of difficulty!

wow, this is very good and you only had 6 days!!! i like the art, music, general vibe a lot! too bad for the extra rules but what you did in such a short time is great!!!

playing the ghost terrorizing the people...clever idea!! the graphics/art are cool and the gameplay is tense! i didn't survive very long :-) 

oh it's a fun idea and the execution is very nice, congrats!

oh i love the concept,  feels like a visual  novel/deep diving-exploration crossover (don't know if that's what you want to do?). Obviously it's a bit empty right now but if you plan on continuing it there's ton of stuff you could do! and the intro with the cats is just super cute!!  i have deep water fight, when the killer whales arrived i freaked out haha :D

cool art and vibe!! the gameplay was fun too, congrats!

oh i love these blod lo-fi textures! mac user here, don't know if you could make a MacOS version? There a few Windows-only submitted games for this jam that i'm really curious to test, but can't... so,...well, i'm asking just in case :D 

looks nice! don't know if you could make a macos version? (mac user here!). would love to try it!

looks cool! unfortunately i'm a mac user...don't know if you can make a MacOs version, i'd like to try it!! :-) 

the gameplay is cool! the music too!!! it feels like an apetizer for more, please more levels :-) 

i like it a lot!!! the graphics, the gameplay..and the music is top!!! (i'm a musician too so kudos to the composer!). I think it's my fave submitted game so far!! But i didn't see the ice blue rocks, maybe i didn't get far enough!!! i will try again :-) 

Cool game and nice mechanics! maybe it needs a button to reset when you're stuck (althougfh this only happens in levels where you can't fall).  I played up until level 3 (or 4? the one where all the platforms are in the air) but i couldn't find the a way to finish this one! anyway, congrats!!

just for info i tried to fix the bug , i think it should be working now? (if you press ESC the mouse is back and you have to press ESC + click on the 3D window to capture it again). I have no problem now as a .exe but for some reason the HTML5 build seems to mess up with it :'( 

i tried to fix the aiming issue (can you do that after the deadline?) it seems to work better on my browser now at least....i'm having a hard time managing the godot to html5 transition :D

Thank! Yes i couldn't fix all the bug issues before the deadline 😭 i'll work on that as soon as possible! I also plan on turning this proto into a short but complete story!

Thanks for the nice comment!!! Yep, the 3D window within a 2D window was a bit too complexe for me to work out in 6 days, so there are a lot of issues 😭 I have to clean up the code and fix all the bugs, then i l'd like to turn this prototype into a short -but-complete game with the whole story
