This game has a really creepy vibe to it. It's also rather challenging until you find out about the sonar.

This game has a really creepy vibe to it. It's also rather challenging until you find out about the sonar.
Really great graphics style! I love the combination of 2D/3D, feels very "don't starve". Well done!
The graphics are amazing, I found myself just looking around at the map in awe. Very good job on those. The gameplay was a bit weird but interestingly done, very creative game altogether. I respect originality and this one has it.
Excelent mood, good graphics.
Solid entry! A bit tricky (if all the available forms are clustered together far away, you might not make it in time), but the mood...Oh man, that mood makes it all worth it. Delightfully creepy.
You nailed the feeling of being in a netherworld with the music and graphics. Nice job! :thumbsup:
Very unique concept, and a really stellar art style to boot. Pretty difficult though - deaths are pretty frequent!
Great entry :)
Neat idea, I like the variation in how some of the bodies behave.
Really liked the graphics and mood you created, very interesting game with a unique feel.
Beautiful game that fits the theme very well. Music is good and the game as a whole has a really well crafted feel. Good job!
Really like the trippy graphics and weird mood. Trying to find the next body can get intense.
Interesting and atmospheric. The graphics and art style is great, especially the lighting effects. It needs more variety, different creatures with unique powers for example.
Very interesting. I love the artwork. Great Job! Felt bad leaving a body and seeing it disappear.
Cool graphics and concept.
Very cool aesthetics, the sonar was very useful once I figured out it was there.
Cool interpretation of the theme and I'm a big fan of the graphical style.
hmm, I didn't get the controls to work. Somehow the web player didnt do anything with the wasd keys or spacebar or other keys, so I ended up watching the animation - I tried to put focus to the window, but it didn't help. (normally unity webgl player works fine with the controls, so dunno what exactly went wrong.)
Unfortunately I couldn't play it either :( it loads just fine but couldn't do anything 'cause controllers weren't working (I was able to click start and go to the opening scene, so I dont know whats happening) ps: that art looks really interesting so I hope I get to play it :)
Sorry @tero-pulkkinen for your experience, we encourage you to try again later!Remember to click the first body. In any case thank you so much all of you to spend your time playing our game. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did making it!
Very interesting concept, congratz for the work !
@tero-pulkkinen @ikiste3d Hi guys, did you possess the first character that appears at the beginning of the game by clicking on it? When the game starts you are in soul form, and you won't be able to move unless you possess a character. Please let us know if the problem persists. Thanks for playing! :)
Oh, now I get it. I had to click the another player first. Looks fun now. The light modelling looks nice, and there's something to do while jumping from body to another... Great work.
Very interesting entry with stunning visuals o.O The Gameplay is a bit weird, but all in all great Work :)
Good game a bit tricky. The other bodies always see me trying to possessed them x) Seriously good game with beautiful graphics. I finally managed to find my own body so I am happy now :) Not the funniest game but it really has its own mood very well made and pleasant.
I love the twist witch reversed controls. It was surprising but quite easy to get used to. Graphics and mood are amazing :ok_hand: I'd love to explore this world but I have to hurry to find another body ;) Love this, great job!
I really liked the graphics, sound FX and music. The theme is really ad-hoc. In my second attempt I just walked a few steps and I found my body, it was awesome xD I love the different characteristics of the bodies!!
I think you maybe may put all the rules in the begining screen, like the "don't posses a body who is looking at you" or the one that you have to click the body in order to begin the game. But it just a suggestion, all the other things are really nice and I really enjoyed the game.
Really great graphics and music! I enjoyed the fact that different bodies have different abilities! The only thing that is a bit weird for me is that sometimes I could move so fast I was off camera (maybe that's on purpose).
Anyways, Great game!
The art of the game is very good! The art of the game is very good! I play the web version and the game got a bit heavy and I had moments with lag, but i play until the end! ^^ Good Job!
"Aaaaaaaaaaa....". I loved hearing that.
+++ The music and sound strengthen the feel of otherworldliness the game has. It felt like I was traveling in the spirit realm. +++ Like the audio, the graphics suited the mood of the game excellently. I especially likes the colour theme. ++ The draining bar helped communicate the urgency to find a new body.
-- I couldn't find anyway to track my progress within the game.
Thanks so much for the great game.
I loved how the game looked and the draining bar was a good indicator to find a new body fast. I did have trouble finding some at first. They seem to all spawn near the bottom rather than towards the top, I'd possibly go for a wider range of spawning areas. I thought the music and sound were pretty nice, especially loved that dying sound. The graphics were spot on and it definitely aided in the whole otherworldliness type concept.
I liked the fact that the bodies had different characteristics, made it feel like I wasn't controlling the same character which is what was fun about it. Did take me a few tries to understand how to find my body xD But it was worth it in the end. Great game and solid job!
I found my body on the first go which is a tad unfortunate in a way but I ended up playing a bit more! Fun concept and great audio as many others have said!
Visual style is amazing)
Awesome graphics !
Yay I found my body! :smiley:
I really liked the graphics, audio, the mood and the take on the theme. Some of the bodies are a bit to fast for the camera, otherwise a great job on the game, it was fun :smiley:
Nice graphics and audio design. The main idea is great, and the running out of power pretty oppressive, which adds to the atmosphere.
My main concerns are that the mechanics are not very well conveyed and polished. For example, the "character who becomes an enemy when he catches you trying to possess him" is hard to predict and avoid. Also, I found it hard to know which one is your body, making it easier to just spam-possess everyone.
The movement of the AI is very erratic and strange, I don't get if it was intended or if it needs a bit more polishing.
Overall, neat game!
I really like the aesthetics of it and had fun while playing. Nice idea as well, good job.
Turned music louder, it's really cool! same goes for the mood. Sometimes body possessing didn't work, or maybe I didn't figure out how to do it properly.
Want`s more smoth moving in game
the game idea is good but I was not able to get any other soul than the first one
Loved the graphics! Great idea.
Game design is nice ! graphics are cool too !
you shall put some "UI" with a range, this we can now when the bodies see us before we transfer the soul.
But nice work anyway !
Very unique idea and the presentation is really nice. I think energy runs out a little too fast though as you want to explore a little. Great job though.
Short but sweet, great visual and audio style, very atmospheric. I watched Elysia stream it so I knew what to do already, otherwise I probably would have spent more time figuring it out. Nice!
Really great graphics and sound. At first I wasn't used to the gameplay byt after I got used to it it became intense and exciting. The the story setup and the gloomy atmophere are really good.
I feel like there were at bit too many situations where I follow the radar and walk into no man's land and die though.
Great mood! The death sound gets a little annoying, but I liked the mechanic!
I swear I've seen this mechanic somewhere before - but you did a really good job of nailing the aesthetic
I had fun! I had to play until I found my body. I liked the aesthetic a lot as well.
Creepy fun, I like the graphics, shadows, sounds, the mechanic... it's good!
Fun game with a great art component. Even if it is not that challeging, it is fun to control this bodies over the purgatory. I think that the music could be more inmersive (maybe less futuristic) but that is just an opinion. Overall experience was good, so nice work. Good luck.
Good game! It took me several attempts to try and understand the basic mechanics, but I had fun. I like the fact that each body has its own properties. I wasn't expecting that. Graphics are great and really add to the mood. This game has potential. You should and endgame or victory condition (at least I couldn't find anything else to do other than possessing the bodies).
Nice work!
Nice game, pleasant graphics, i liked lights and shadows. Interesting mechanics, impressive work for 3 days. I wanted you to know, that there is controls bug, when I possess body that is looking to the right(or left), WASD movement becomes SDAW and it takes time to get used to it. If it isn't a bug, it's interesting mechanics too. Again, your game is great and I wish you good luck on this LD! :)
Hi! @eugene-opryshko The movement switch is made on purpose! and thanks for your feedback!
great game, you did a good job
Nice game! It's funny because our game at some point uses a similar switch-control-between-units mechanic, and it's something we've been exploring a lot. It was surprising to see somebody else do a similar thing. The graphics were great, the mood and atmosphere were immersive and well polished.
Overall great game, though with that level of graphics and audio I would have enjoyed if it wasn't that much about replaying every few seconds and more about fewer, longer playthroughs, if that makes sense.
Looks and sounds nice, but I just found the movement and body switching too janky.
This game is pretty good! I liked the soundtrack of the game as it sounded nice. The audio and graphics strongly contribute to create a creepy atmosphere! Though the game was fun, it could have been more fun if the player had more power or if the power didn't drain so fast. In conclusion, I liked the audio and mood of the game but I felt the game could be more fun if it was less challenging.
The beginning is not very clear but then it's cool and the differences between characters are funny.
Nice and beautiful game. The atmosphere with the music is great. I had some fps issue because of the lightning I think. Great game anyway!
Hi, guys, I cant play in your game, somehow controls is doesnt work. Please fix it.
Hi @taira-domini! Have you tried to click the first body at the very begining of the game ?
This game have creepy, but epic mood. Really fun to play, graphic look awesome. Great game!
Very nice mood. The colors and lighting choices were on spot! The sound in the end was funny and eerie. The concept was also very interesting.
One thing needs to be done is a better instruction on the beginning, as you can see in the comments about. Also the collisions with the trees felt a little off quite often. Maybe putting the collision just on the tree part near to the ground would help.
That being said, very nice game. The concept and the vibe tie together very well. Congrats.
It's a lovely entry! I liked the shadows cast by the trees, it really enhances the mood. The BGM and moaning sounds helped as well.
I like this game, i love the atmosphere, and i think you had a great idea, it's original and well done great entry
Wow.. brilliant mood. It's haunting and creepy. This must be one of the better entries, in my opinion. I only have two things I'd like to point out. One - I'm a bit confused on the purpose of bodies that follow me - do they drain my power or is it to add to the creep factor? Two, the difficulty of the game is unpredictable each round. Not sure if intentional. Thanks so much for this game. The atmosphere and sound is quite inspiring.
(´ヮ`) Woa! cool game! Wandering around there was a bit creepy but overall strangely relaxing experience for me. One of the most atmospheric games on this jam! And totally fits theme ^_^ Take your honestly deserved five stars! (/¯–‿･)/¯
Great job on mood. The lighting is spectacular! Graphics are top notch. The music was too repetitive but fit the mood. That is very strange idea of what purgatory may look like but to each their own. Its a very polished game. this is the biggest team I've found yet so my expectations were quite high, and ultimately I'm not sure if that helped you. The first time I played it for some reason the left click wouldn't do anything for my soul so i just stood there an died next to fresh bodies that (somehow) declined my possession. the next time I played I used the sonar found a body before the time ran out and the left click worked but then the game was over, I had won. Where is the challenge? I liked that you incorporated colors into the characters. why not make a "Guess Who" element to your game instead of a radar. Like every time you posses a body you get a clue of what your body might look like, where it might hang out, that kinda of thing. The radar was too easy. Very pretty game folks!
Interesting concept, but I think the mechanics and everything need refining. Not entirely sure what the win conditions are but I managed to win after 3 seconds into the game O.o Nifty idea with the souls in purgatory having different random mechanics when you control them. Nice!
