Really makes you feel like you're on a stakeout, looking at a grimy, French street.

In all seriousness, though, this is insanely polished and wonderfully flavorful. Especially with the letter at the beginning.

Hi there! My name's Jake and I want to join your team as a producer/writer/team lead/designer. I can manage a Trello, create paper prototypes, convey music/art inspiration, edit audio, do simple pixel art, and more! I recently led a team of 17 in creating a small horror game for university.

See my portfolio for more: https://jakerindgin.wixsite.com/jakesalwayswrite

See my GMTK 2023 submission, for which I did art, writing, paper prototypes, team management, etc.: https://es-jacque.itch.io/useless

Thank you!

Wonderful aesthetic and well-paced gameplay. Reminds me of piloting the sub from Subnautica, but with more options for input.

Love the little bone crunch in the music!

Great music! Fun vibes.

We scoped a little too big, but our composer was amazing! I wish more of his tracks made it into the final version.

Very interesting game! I'm sad it's not getting more attention. I love all the little details, like the shadows the gates cast and the creepy musical cue for the deer targeting you. Plus, their health being displayed by the color of their lights, which is very noticeable. You could tell me Horizon does the same thing, and I'd say you're bluffing. Also, we love a "throw and recall your weapon" mechanic. I think that's gonna be up there with grappling hooks as a "This is always fun; you're not a game dev until you've put one in a game" type deal.

Thank you, Linden! That means a lot coming from you. I'm looking forward to doing so following our completion of its polish this quarter, as well as having you take a look at my portfolio.

Thanks so much for playing! Commentary helps, especially. This was a student project with lots of time limitations, so not everything's made it in yet, but we plan to focus on polishing next! 

It is an SCP-inspired OC, the shield bug is known, and you should've gotten an alternate ending for trapping Splitjaw in its enclosure.

Thank you again, and well done!

It looks like you found a bugged version of the alternate ending. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!
