Found the needle in 7:28! Neat idea.

Nice take on the theme – I was a little lucky in that the needle was in the first house I checked, but it was in the _last_ room of that house :P

The mouse sensitivity is too high, making it kinda hard to play the game even at 800 DPI. :(

Too hard)

@Zgragselus The mouse look sensitivity was something we struggled with for the majority of the build. We would have liked to have included a sensitivity slider but unfortunately time did not allow for that.

Had the needle in the final house I check, never lucky. Interesting little hide and seek kind of game. Nice work :D

While I would not call roaming around in a mostly empty world "endless replayability" it was fine for what it was but I stopped after 2/10 houses. Maybe add in ambient story text that is told/presented as you walk around? Why am I looking for this needle, who lives here? etc.

So many questions, and so few answers...

Really liked the idea and the town and house generation. Would be a cool thing to build into a game with more interaction than a basic exploration model, nice job.

I get the idea, but I apparently don't have the patience to find the needle. I noticed in a few houses the walls dont connect, and you can clip through into the room.

I think that if the controls were a bit smoother, and the locations more interesting, this could be a really great idea for a casual FPS game. My time was 1:38
