Thank you! Congratz to you as well, it was a nice game jam ^^

Thanks for playing, and for the detailed feedback :)

Lags were my fault because I didn't know a thing about optimizing, but I fixed it in the most recent version.
Fun fact: the text on the top left were actually a debug for us when testing and I forgot to remove it, but it turned out to be a lie for the theme by accident xD

Played and rated, I really like the concept of the game!

Starting from level 3 the map was very difficult to complete as there are no checkpoints, I think the addition of checkpoints would make the game less frustrating in terms of progression, and more fun to challenge :)

In terms of Audio I liked the chanting all during the gameplay, it fits the theme very well!
I like the demon voicelines, but it was most of the time not clear to understand and the volume was low.

You should check out our game, it is very similar to yours in terms of concept! https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477205

Played and rated :)

The art and dialogue speed felt pretty good!
However it was a bit hard for me to understand the lie and trust mechanics (i.e tavern lie, hard to know because some buildings look indeed like taverns, and we can't visit them to tell)

Played and rated, very original art style! :)

I played until the colour pots level, got stuck because I didn't know what to do. It might be better to have more hints to help understand what's needed in the level. Personally I didn't even see any bull if there was one in the colour pots level.
The music becomes a bit repetitive, although it fits well the theme of the world.

Overall a very original art style and world, but for me that needed more help to understand the levels.

I'd appreciate if you try and rate my game as well, in case you haven't done so already :)

Thanks for your feedback! I  will try to improve the character's movement feel in the future :)

I like the concept a lot. 

The big room is quite difficult to finish, and the flashlight regen takes so long when it gets depleted. Sounds could also be improved as ambiant sound gets repetitive, and there's no sound effect for the character's movement and sticking.

Alright lmao, best theme submission.

Thanks a lot for trying out the game, and for your feedback, really appreciate it :)

Thanks for trying out the game!

Thanks for your feedback ^^ I'll do my best to improve the character's movement to be more responsive in the future!

Thank you for trying out the game! :)

Thank you for your feedback!
What kind of visual glitches did you see and could you give a bit more detail on why the platforming felt clunky to you?
It'll help me understand the problems and try to improve them as much as possible :)

Thank you, I already rated and commented your game ^^

Played and rated! Interesting concept and works nicely :)

My positive points:
-The environment, the models and concept are in my opinion pretty good looking and work nicely for a starting point.
-I would say that the link with the theme is kind of medium, as it does indeed lie, but we don't really feel any importance to it in the gameplay, maybe that's something you could improve in the future :)
-I haven't encountered any kind of bug.

My negative points:
What bugged me (get it?) was the lack of sound and animations (for reloading for example) and problems with the cursor.
Concerning the cursor, I could see the game's cursor during the entire gameplay, and the sensitivity was feeling a bit weird for me although I'm used to playing fps games.

I can see this being polished and becoming much more fun, as it already is for a starting point :)

I'd appreciate if you try and rate my game as well!

Played and rated, amazing detective game!

I took all my time to try and figure out the murderer, but I wasn't able to guess!
**Contains spoiler** -> I was so sure it was between 2 choices, either S or L from everything that was said but wasn't expecting that ending :o

Had a great time playing and trying to figure out the real suspect!
The graphics look good, the sound effects nicely fitting, the text speed was great, the transcript was a great idea to be able to revisit everything at the same time (but could be improved by being separated with a title for each character), and the story was very well thought of and put together.

I don't really have any negative points. Except some polish like adding music, I find the game very well done and complete as it is. Great work for this game jam!

I'd appreciate if you try and rate my game as well!

Interesting idea! The gameplay could use some improvement on mechanics, but it's definitely pretty fun :)
I believe some sound effects would make the game feel more alive.

Played and rated. Got 198 maximum score.

I liked the concept, pretty simple but understandable.
My negative points are audio that becomes quickly repetitive and annoying, and I'm not sure it fits the theme too well or if there's ever an end to the game.

I'd appreciate if you try and rate my game as well!

Nice mini game! Didn't expect the reason at all haha.

My positive points:
-The movement mechanic is great, I really enjoyed it, especially at level 2.
-The game fits the theme pretty well, and the reason of the lie was quite unexpected!

My negative points are:
-There should be a way to make the text go faster
-The sound effect of typing should match when a letter is being typed instead of looping by itself

I'd appreciate if you could try and rate my game :)

Thank you for trying the game, and for your feedback :)
I'll take a look at your submission.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! :)

Sorry about the performance issues,  I fixed it in a new slighly improved lag-free version, here's the link if you'd like to try the game without lags: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1gf4ovi9ehssx0i/AAAY30iNrHijMspAU8XbAHcla?dl=0

I also had trouble syncing the traps, but for trying it multiple times it seems to follow 2 sets of pattern where 1 is impossible to go through, and the other which is possible with the right timing.
It demands some patience to observe the window of opportunity to go through. it really was intended to be that way, but normally with a more predictable sync. I'll do my best to figure out a better syncing method!
Thank you for revealing this problem :)

I'd also love to see or try your project if I can :)

Played and rated, pretty awesome game!
One of the most mysterious and challenging puzzle game I've played in the submissions so far :)

What I liked were the audio (footsteps, jump, music) and the art that make the game feel mysterious and unknown.
The atmosphere and the idea are unique and well thought!

However my negative point is that the game isn't easily understandable, I found myself wondering what was needed to be done for a long period of time, to the point of being stuck without any hint at the Water level, and also being really confused on what was walkable or not in the earth level to the point of starting to randomly guess everytime (no real way to memorize from trial and error).

For a 1 week game jam I think you did an awesome job on the content, and the atmosphere of the game!

Thanks a lot for your feedback! It helps me to understand how optimization works :)

I only realised after some feedbacks that the game was not optimized at all and was lagging a lot on most computers. That was my bad since I've never looked at optimization, on top of the fact that this is my first game jam. But I soon released a hugely improved version concerning performance (which really is how the game should have been optimized at the very least).

So what I did as you said it to turn every environmental object as static, in addition to using the srp batcher which made me see a phenomenal boost in fps.
As of the environment models I'm not really sure how many tris they each roughly have since I didn't make them, but I'll do my best to keep the tris count as low as possible by discussing with the modeller :)

Here's a link to the optimized version in case you want to try it without lags: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1gf4ovi9ehssx0i/AAAY30iNrHijMspAU8XbAHcla?dl=0

I learned some mistakes on performance thanks to this game jam, and I'll do my best to improve this aspect in the future!
Thanks again for your feedback, and for trying out our game ^^

Thanks for trying out the game!

Thank you for your feedback :)
The lag and glitch you have encountered is mostly our fault for not having time to optimize the game.
However I've optimized the game a bit and is now lag-free even on low-end pcs. If you're interested to try it here's a dropbox link to that version: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1gf4ovi9ehssx0i/AAAY30iNrHijMspAU8XbAHcla?dl=0
Thanks for trying the game!

I like the art style a lot! Especially the character's :)
I also like how the world builds itself as you run, an interesting effect.

As of my negative points:
-I think you should improve the camera's movement as it hurts the eyes to see jumps everytime the character moves.
-More sound would make the world more alive.

I'd appreciate if you check out and rate my game! ^^ https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477205

Wow, what and ending. Played and rated!
The art style is coherent till the end and the reveal at the end was unexpected for me.
I would have liked more gameplay and sound, but overall an interesting short story :)

I'd appreciate if you check out my game and rate it :) https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477205

Played and rated! :)

Here are my positive points:
-The art style is great.
-The effects, although could use some work, add flavour and dynamism to the game.
-The voiceover and the music that goes along with it are nice and work smoothly with the game.
-The changing 2D perspective is quite a nice idea!

My negative points are:
-The gameplay is a bit wonky and glitchy (movement, animations, bugs). For example I got stuck under a platform pretty quickly after the game started.
-The lighting could use some work to make the art look much better.
-The game is quite heavy in size.

Overall an interesting concept with a nice art style, but which is a bit glitchy ^^

I'd appreciate if you check out and rate my game too! :) https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477205
