Very cool, now i know how pacman felt like chasing food.
Great mood and very thrilling to play.

Very nice looking game, and nice sound creates a good atmosphere the mouse movement was a bit too sensitive for me.

Great atmosphere. Seemed a bit hard to find the exit, but the mood put me on edge for the whole game. Literally sitting here with goosebumps.

Well done textures. The reflection of the red light (especially when this thing is right after you) gives you thrills. Also, the sound of this thing!

Wow! This is really thrilling game. Great job with the mood! I was always afraid of what was behind the next corner.

I really like the mood of the game. The sound of lingering robots, moving through the corridors and the feeling of being alone in the labyrinth are great. What could have improved the experience would be a lower sensitivity of the camera movement, because it was still really fast even with the dpi set to 400, and therefor felt a little bit odd in comparison to the rather slow movement speed. Also, I think it was a very good design decision to give the robots / Liths the bright red light on their head so one can see them around from behind a corner.

Ex-ter-mi-nate!

Holy **** that's a tense game! Great use of light, I got stuck down a dead end, knew a bad guy was behind me and didn't dare turn around.

chrismingay 2013-12-17 19:34

If some Let's Play's of this don't spring up I'll be shocked. Forgot to say in my previous post but it reminds me of the dos game 3Demon (which terrified my when I played it as a child), but it's 10x scarier.

At first I wanted to ask why didn't you put a web version of it as long as it's on unity, but then I played it and understood why - the atmosphere makes it all :)
It definitely needs a full screen to play
Good job!

Very Tense. This game is pretty freaken scary!

novodantis 2013-12-17 22:15

Thanks all!

Also, apologies for the clumsy Google Drive link, I knew I shoulda used Dropbox...

I'm definitely looking to neaten this up for a post-Dare version (and make the Liths a bit more sophisticated; my attempts to smooth their movement resulted in them being frustratingly conservative with their paths).

Nice looking entry ! And so is the atmosphere. Nice job !

lukuluk 2013-12-19 21:31

Yeah nice idea, and the atmosphere is good ! The robots succeeded at scaring me ! The difficulty with this concept is to add more interesting choices, since player hasn't lot of informations at his disposal. Perhaps it could be interesting to add mechanics of vision beyond walls at short distance & freezing of robots !

Old school like FPS.
Both the mood and robots really add to the gameplay.

hyde-wyvern 2013-12-24 07:11

OMG this game is so thrilling and exiting! I got more bump-scare with this than with Slender or any other scary game. THESE are my favorite type of game! You gave me a new favorite ^^

peacegiverman 2013-12-28 03:33

Oh, man, that was intense! You set a wonderful mood. I liked this game a lot. I only wish I could move a little faster. But I guess that's the idea :D

paulloz 2013-12-28 12:19

These daleks are scary :3 The atmosphere is great and the red light is a nice gamedesign touch.
The controls need to be improved.
I didn't play the game too long because I have not been hooked by the universe in which it is set. A simple mechanic like this one could use a bit of background story and a higher goal than just "collect gold".

tobiasnl 2013-12-28 13:46

Haha yes! That was good stuff. The music really added to the mood of the game. It actually was sort of scary :P Rating's up!

mcapraro 2013-12-29 16:01

great looking game and really sets the mood well. i wish i could run or sneak :)

jacques_le_lezard 2013-12-31 11:06

Simple but polished game, good job! You can improve it by adding some features to your labyrinth ;)

alexrose 2014-01-06 19:20

This was really fun. My only qualm is that the mouse sensitivity is super high, I'd try and turn a little and turn huge, kept getting me killed. But it's really cool. Level design is great (although it's super hard to remember where I've been). The robot is scary as shit. The audio creates great mood.

I'm going to come back and play this for longer once the competition is over.
