What I liked: The horror setting, sound and fixed camera position for atmosphere. What I didn't like: Kept restarting without an indication why. Also, putting a kind of tv screen as a frame isn't really trying to fit with the theme imo. Still, great going. Keep it up. :)

Creepy as hell. Good job on that. I did, however, experience a game breaking bug. I was sent back the the starting room, but was placed on top of the dresser-thing. This caused me to be too high up to fit through the door again.

Pretty unique idea. Feels like you are watching yourself move through a security camera. The character turned a bit slow for me which I found frustrating, but overall good!

Ambience was good for me! gameplay was kinda weird though as no controls were provided, had no clue wether i could interact with things or not. Still it's a good effort, the tv frame made me feel as if i was watching a horror movie whilst playing it!

The turning was a bit awkward like ondrejbalas already said.
Very nice creepy mood to it :)

Likes: audio, gaming area(it's seems so big)
Dislikes: That floating Tv. Couldn't you keep it in fixed position?

I couldn't really get a handle of the controls very easily. It was very difficult to see everything that was around the character. But, it looked like it could have been cool!

aisenhein 2014-12-10 05:55

the ideia it's be confused, have a big moral hidden that will be narrate on the next Ludum Dare :D :D

+ Game had really nice idea and horror theme was nice.
- Controls were hard to understand at first. After that jumped nonlogical place in next room or so.

The sound is kind of creepy. But the camera angle is not very comfortable. And I lose my way quickly..

topaz-studios 2014-12-10 06:50

Not a fan of the controls, but I would have given that a good 4-5 in mood had it been there. Nice soundtrack!

gafblizzard 2014-12-10 07:13

Very creepy, but I also saw the same bug where I was hovering off a floor. I didn't rate it for that reason since I could not really play further.

toadfrogs 2014-12-10 07:17

The player was hard to control, but the setting fits the game. Good job, I do like the 3D look. :D

murdersantateam 2014-12-10 12:37

wow, you really went big on the mood part of the game :)

yarek 2014-12-10 15:05

It was hard to know where I could interact but the game looks nice. I like to see I'm not the only one with an horror game :D

Creepy as damn, the theme was catched, the audio was very good, the graphics was good enough.
Good job!

Kardfogú of Creative Sectors, out.

Relly good game. The horror setting was amazing. But it was confusing when it kept restarting.

atombrot 2014-12-10 18:30

The player glided like with ice skates through the level. Looked a bit weird. I had no idea were I was going because everything looked kind of the same. The ending leads me to forgive you the sometimes bad camera angles :D

diegomustache 2014-12-10 18:32

The respawns gave no indication as to what had just happened. I wasn't sure if it was a bug or if I had just been killed or something. This left me feeling a little lost. That being said, I liked the atmosphere, and seeing a suspenseful game like this in a game jam is pretty cool.

si1ver 2014-12-10 18:33

Nice horror atmosphere and cool restartting feachure!

harley77 2014-12-10 18:35

Nice atmosphere. Reminds me of Alone in the Dark with much better lighting. I even got a good jump scare in that one room. Good job!

ogniok 2014-12-10 18:39

Good mood but lack of instructions really made this game hard for me.

equipejam 2014-12-10 23:13

I loved the idea, sound, graphic but the controls was difficult still loved ^^

rodobodolfo 2014-12-10 23:14

Graphics are awesome, it Takes me back to Alone in the dark or Ecstatica times... On the other hand the player movement is frustrating, specially when he turns

delahee 2014-12-10 23:21

Great atmosphere. I would have loved some sound effects on top of the chilling music ! Controls are a bit slow, and remember WASD is a pain in some countries that don't use QWERTY keyboards... :P

boracho 2014-12-10 23:39

great mood with the music and the lightingt. the controls are extremely cumbersome though. and getting restarted all the way back to the beginning is a bit disheartening. The art could do with a bit more work, but that's understandable given the time limit. overall a solid effort. good stuff!

gokuhd 2014-12-11 04:42

F**k!!!!!! that's creepy hahahahaha xD nice job, I love the whole feeling of the environment + music well done

pjimmy 2014-12-11 10:30

love the atmosphere, but the controls were rather awkward

kualitygames 2014-12-14 14:27

Wish the controls were more responsive/quick. Nice game overall! Keep polishing it and it'll be even better.

ynots 2014-12-17 13:29

nice..

Creepy sound atmosphere. I found it difficult to move around the room.
