Spatium Locus

I liked the atmosphere a lot and the storytelling using the log messages.

It crashed for me twice, though. It does not seem to be a memory issue. The error report states an access violation:

Read from location 0000000000000020 caused an access violation.

The reflections seemed very glitchy for me, aswell. I'll give it another shot in a week or so, it looks really promising :smile:

I really like the graphics ! really beautiful. But as it was already mentioned, the reflections need to be worked a little bit. Overall it feels and looks great, some improvements could really enhance the experience imo :)

While the models seem high quality, the use of them is painful on the eyes with the aggressive lighting and the clashing. I had to stop because it was uncomfortable. The logs were interesting, but I couldn't keep going.

I really like the style, The glitching frame rate got to me, but I look forward to seeing it flushed out! I love the music too and the puzzle idea, reminds me of We Went Back for Steam.

Pretty cool atmospheric game, the graphics are interesting and I can see kind of aesthetic you were going for, reminds me of E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy. I like the log-based story telling, some of them were hilarious.

Unfortunately, the game crashed before I was able to open the engine door. (also, a new date is generated every time I press E on a log screen)

@nazorus Its hard to keep track of time when youre lost in space you know 😅

Whoever was in charge of polishing surfaces in this place deserves a raise :) Very atmospheric, good audio that fits the mood, the visuals reminded me of some parts of the movie Sunshine. I also had a crash before I could open the engine door which was a bummer. Overall great work!

Great game, didn't expect that. Really worth playing till the end. Great atmosphere. ("E" is for interaction.)

jonrei 2020-10-06 00:58

@ina Thanks! And thank you for reminding me that I forgot to add controls to the description haha, added it ^^

The atmosphere is really haunting. Sadly the game kept crashing for me always after a while, too. Would have loved to find out what's in the engine room

So shiny! Nice effort, good atmosphere and some nice storytelling with the logs!

ygrichman 2020-10-11 23:36

Same crashes that others were reporting, but love the environment and the reflections even if my GPU didn't :laughing: Would have been interested in what's in the middle but I only managed to find one set of symbols then it crashed.

I really like aesthetics there. Mood was also interesting. But the game crashes crashed my enthusiasm. Still you have here a good base to polish your level up game-development your skills. (But please make sure you have full rights to use faces from photos)

Great atmosphere, love the visual aesthetic and the audio really adds to the mood. I liked the storytelling of the various log entries, but the gameplay mostly just felt like wandering around otherwise. It also kept crashing for me so I couldn't finish it (furthest I got was getting 1 code for the door). Definitely a spooky and compelling experience though. Nice work!

I was not able to break the loop, or find a way to guess the code to the door. I like the idea with visuals, but for me it got too overblown with bloom and gloss effect. The game needs more sounds, and perhaps some music. The logs was fun and interesting, and for me this was the best part of this game. Overall is this an okay jam game.

Your game deserves to be rated, so my stars for you are twentieth (: Good job!

Fun - It was fun to explore the space station.

Innovation - I found the three symbols for the lock. Is there a clue to what order the symbols are entered?

Theme - Great use of the theme, you have so many versions of the rooms.

Graphics - So many reflections, It looks very good.

Humor - The ever shifting dates on the logs added to the felling of timelessness.

Mood - I like the overall mood of the game.
