Its like LSD(game) but more psycho... Man you are sick :D I really like this... Made me a bit sick but still nice.

you lazord in my eyes! very impressing! the drones killed me always. at least I got some batteries

Trippy and unique visuals. Nice atmosphere, too.

This game looks really cool. I kind of wish I could see a little clearer, but I'm sure that was the intent. This game provides a great sense of fear when you are hiding, and there is an enemy on a wall opposite you.

Thanks for comments! The visuals are result of lack of sleep and lack of texturing in the level. ;)

Two tips for gameplay: Make as little sound as you can, especially running is super loud. Use satellite view often to perceive your surrounding.

Love the atmosphere of this game! Got a little dizzy of all the shaders attacking my eyes all on the same time :)

Nice mood, gameplay works well, but a bit far from the theme

caranha 2013-12-16 10:06

Whoa, I liked the trippy feel. I think it gives a lot of personality to the game. Although in certain points it made it really hard to get a grip on your environment (is that a door? a window? Can I go through there?)

I really liked the idea of the satellite map. I would probably give it a larger area and less battery. I also loved that you included some "inside" areas where the map could not be used.

I did not make it to the end :-( Cheers, and thanks for the game!

Gah! Can't make it past the 3rd checkpoint, will have to try that again later. ;) But this is pretty damn cool, trippy and stealthy, kinda Antichamber meets Amnesia.

ezolotko 2013-12-16 14:17

Wow, this is some serious mood

shigor 2013-12-16 14:20

All epileptics must really love you :) The art is.... brutal. I'm really really glad I hadn't tried this on Oculus Rift :)

masadow 2013-12-16 14:24

Nice one

hemuuuli 2013-12-16 14:27

Shigor: I am planning to do an Oculus Rift version during Chrismas vacation just to see how it feels like. 8D
I might even release it publicly if it works fine.

hypnohustla 2013-12-16 15:24

Whoa, made my eyes hurt a bit. Atmospheric and moody. Loved the sound world. :)

paperblurt 2013-12-17 13:00

Am I on drugs?

rosa89n20 2013-12-18 09:59

I don't know why, be the feel when I play exactly just like my first time play Saya no Uta. very special indeed, but my eyes... my eyes!! my eyes can't take it!!

lordjosephdeburg 2013-12-20 10:41

Very interesting entry, and I love stealth games. A big achievement for 48hrs! Snuck around the drones for a while but I had to stop playing as the visuals started to hurt my eyes..

kohijin 2013-12-20 11:12

Great stuff, not sure about the theme but I absolutely love the nightmarish atmosphere that the look and the soundscape create.

thewhitellama 2013-12-20 12:12

Cool game play, the style reminds me on anti chamber. This is pretty well made.

mystakin 2013-12-23 23:57

"What is this game I am playing?" was all I could think when I first booted it up. I can't decide if the disorientating art is the best thing ever, or too much and hinders the gameplay. Either way, it's cool enough that it's worth perfecting if you were to go that route.

HakitoCZ 2013-12-25 22:08

I call this arts. Son will be played many times from now on. I appreciate your work, it was done gorgeously.

thegamingproject 2013-12-26 04:33

whoa

ointment 2013-12-26 14:52

SUPER INDIE STEALTH 2100. Can't deny it looks unique, and I didn't even think the graphics were hindering the gameplay. It's a pretty plain stealth game in the end, though.

local-minimum 2013-12-26 19:48

I found the drones a little too hard, but maybe I wasn't focused enough. I was thinking about making something glitchy as well but ended up doing something completely different.

hemuuuli 2014-01-02 18:45

So many comments! Thanks for all the pretty words and feedback!

I made a post compo Oculus Rift port of the game. It feels good on your eyes~

postmodestie 2014-01-02 22:06

Very funky. Now i'll maybe try the Rift version :)

anvoz 2014-01-03 14:51

The intro was really good and it kept me playing this game. But my eyes could not take it long enough to finish. I think the mood and the stealth mechanic were pretty nice.
