Funny premise, certainly not bad.

There are however certain things that I didn't like that much, such as strange angles of the camera while walking and lack of cues of what is an interactable object and what is not.

Still, nice work!

This is probably the best game I saw this far on the jam.

Clear inspiration from the early Resident Evil games, the cameras, the combining of items...
Put the game on follow and I hope that you will continue developing it.
Great job!

It might be just me, but I had real trouble with shadows when I used the flashlight. They were all over the place, certainly when it came to the railings. The angel itself is fine, I like the model, but it seems to be buggy as it straight up disappeared on me while I was looking at it and then started to move towards me. I could hear it but not see it, that until it came all the way to me and made me stuck in place, so I had to "lose" on purpose.

What really *is* good, are the simple but effective sound design. Love the soundtrack too.
I think that with some bug hunting, fixes and some extra's like a clear goal/story, this can become a great indie project!

It looks really nice, but the cursor problem makes it unplayable for me as I can barely look around.
For this reason I am not going to rate this game, but it does look REALLY promising.
Let us know if you make a continuation or a new version of this!

It's nice and neat, but it still took mea bit before I got the hang of what is expected of me. The sound design is clear, love how the monster in the darkness gives you cues on how the furnace is doing and such.

Would love to see this project being more fleshed out in the future, maybe with something like a money goal in mind and a bit of a storyline.

Hey there,

There are two endings for this game in total, so it must be that you got the good one!
Thank you for checking our game ;)

Hello,

It's unfortunate that you experienced a bug like that. I don't think I ever got that one while testing.
Could you tell me what OS you were playing on

Regardless of that, thanks for checking out our game and I'm glad that you were able to enjoy it despite the encounter with an uninvited insect.

Thank you for your kind words!

Hi there!

Thanks for your comment.
We're glad that you enjoyed the game and liked the style we went for.
The idea for having the player to type came from a different game, I believe it was called "Left on Read" or something along those lines. I think that with a bit of polish this system can be made into a proper chat simulation

In each case, once again, thanks for checking out our game!

Everyone wants to dig a diggidy hole but none asks themselves how they'll get out...

I'm going to be honest, I'm not really good with horror games.
Simple things like distortions and sharp sounds can reliably get to me and I thought at first that I will have to leave the game partway.
What helped a lot, were the bits of humor and straight up brainrot that kept me from thinking too much about it.

Despite having the design of an early Slenderman game, this game has some interesting details, such as meta progression and the possibility to unlock the story by playing the game one or several times. The fact that the monitor keeps the image in the main menu is a fun detail.

Overall, a great entry!

Not a big fan of dwarves, but the story was amusing. Good job!

Thought it might be a darker story based off the beginning, but it turned out to be wholesome. 
Looks like a starter of a bigger story in a way. Well done.

That's... certainly a creative resource.

I dig it. Has a lot of the Industrial Era horror and I absolutely love it. Very good entry.

Reminded me of that one Prince of Persia movie, "Sands of Time" or something like that. Regardless, a very neat little story. Well done!

This looks like a winner to me. Probably the best one so far. Handled the text, the theme and the story very well. Not much to say, it's great!

Thanks for your feedback!
You've written a lot, so I can't really discuss everything here, but do know that I appreciate it and will take it to heart.

Man, do I love rats! 
Anyway, good entry overall, but please, use proper punctuation. At times there are several sentences fused together without a comma i sight, it makes reading way harder than it should be. But hey, I still loved your take on the Rats!

I only read the short version, so I'm sorry if the feedback isn't applyable to the extended version. First and formost: formating. Try making shorter paragraphs, try to not repeat the same words unless it has a meaning to the story, don't rush it too much. I feel like you could reformat this story into one that would still fit all the criteria and be easier and more enjoyable to read. But hey, it's still an interesting entry, good job.

I don't see that many stories about Sisters, so it's a welcome addition. Nice entry.

Nice entry, thank you for your work!

Thanks for your feedback! You're making a good point, I think I left too much of it for the previous two stories when I should've kept it more self-contained. Still, thanks for reading and I hope to improve by the next one!

Thanks for commenting and enjoying the story!

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I love my flowery language and it shows, hahaha. I also agree that this story could've benefitted from having a bit more space. Other than that, I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

Gave this one fives all around. The reason is simple: it felt like reading an indoctrination and that is a very creative resource indeed. Very well done.

Very good and short descriptions of the surroundings made it easy to understand and fill in the blanks. Very well done!

Very good addition to the formula by using the notes, nice prose.

Great story! Felt as if I was reading ye 'olde Lovecraft shortstories again.

Nice and fun story. There are things here and there I'd change, but it's probably just because of different writing styles. Overall, good entry.

Glad you liked it!

And thank you for rating!

We're the rats!

My experience is quite alike to what SupNerds said. Very well done ending and flow of the story.

A lovely story! Very well described combat, I could almost FEEL it from reading it. Good job!

Thanks for your comment and kind words!

Good job on the ending. Everyone needs a bit of wholesomeness in their lives.

At first I was like "these sentences don't make sense!", but then I realized it was one huge poem! I'm not knowledgeable in prose in poems, but this is the most original take so far. Very well done.

Thanks for the reply!

To be honest, the poison was a last second add to make the reasoning of the character more clear, but your point is 100% valid. The commander could've felt dizzy because of it, maybe a stray description of someone collapsing.... But in the end, I'm happy you enjoyed the story and I hope that I'll be able to continue bringing joy to people every next jam I'll participate in!

Thank you!
The theme allowed me to put a twist for the positive instead for the negative, so I went with that. I'm certainly planning on continueing the series, but the story is completely dependent on what themes we'll get in the next jams.
