Gotta say, It looks and sounds nice for a gamejam! The gameplay is nothing to write home about and the distances felt pretty far just to get to another question.. I can see you put a lot of work into the visuals though! Found one weird bug in the glass shader:

@baktillus Thank you, we are an artist-heavy team so we invested in the thing we knew we could pull off well, as for the gameplay we scrambled on what we could put together that would fit the theme and this is the result of it, I can't seem to detect what's the bug in the glass shader, do you mind elaborating?
@lazanja The reflection of the walkway is not parallel. It curves away from the bridge, or at least points in a different direction. Also in the screenshot you can see that the player character leaves a weird "shadow" in the reflection (directly left of the gate). Additionally, the walkway only gets reflected in the left glass wall (I assume because the reflection in the right side also "curves" to the left. Here is an example of how it should look like: reflection.jpg Notice how the doors in the reflection to the left are parallel to their real counterparts?
Generally I found it really visually impressive given the limited time :) Really shows how many talented artists were on it.
@baktillus aaaaah now I see, we should've used box reflections on the bridge instead of spherical ones, I'll keep that in mind on future work, thank you for the feedback. :)
I can't get passed the default unreal engine font. Consider using a different one.
@catbutt We were using Franklin Gothic during development since it's my favourite but eventually we decided Roboto looks much better with emissiveness in the text shader. Also had a hologram shader for text but it only looked good on very large text, since it had a panner of scanlines.
Very nice graphics, the ground pattern could be reduced a bit as it kinda hurts the eye after a while :smile: I can see you focused too much on the graphics but the quiz idea is still fun. I enjoyed it, Good job!
nice job, cool entry here :)
