That gave me chills. Kept trying to run and hide away, throwing cans, but to no avail. The sound design is very good, especially when you're running and can hear mallet man stomping / breathing behind you. :scream:

Hi there! So I tried to run the HTML version but it wouldnt start for me - so I downloaded the game.
Graphics and atmosphere is really nice. I don't play many horrorgames but man this one was intense. One little bummer was that I fell through the Security door. I only picked up the blue key. screenshot1.png Otherwise a great entry!
@johnnysix I am glad you liked the sound design, I have been working on that over the last year. Sounds like its paying off.
@rhewid Oh, I think I know why that happens. Glad you enjoyed it anyways. seems like I still have a few big bugs left.
Awesome game! The sound design was on point and really gave the scary feel to the game. Love how you can hear the stomping behind you as you run away. Artwork was cool too.
I did run into a couple of bugs. My pal seemed to not see me when I was right in front of him one time. Secondly, I ran through the closed security door by accident and fell of the map.
Overall, a really great effort!
I really like the concept, despite the few bugs and the stressing sound the friend does. :smile:
Yeah, that was pretty nerve wracking. Being able to distract the friend is pretty neat, I dig it. Aesthetics and sound are on point too!
Pretty fun, though there's one spot on the map where you can fall through.
The game was fun to play, and stressful in a good way!
This was fantastic. Completely terrifying, in the way that I expect I'd feel if someone broke into my house. Properly atmospheric and I think you've nailed the mood and tone so well.
@sampadders I am glad that it had the right sounds for you, I was worried about that. I have been able to reproduce the pal not seeing you and will look into this. Thanks for the report. seems it might be related to the "fuzzing" I am doing so they won't see you instantly.
@hadryel Glad it stressed you out a bit. That means its doing its job.
I sweated a little, you did really good !
Nice game, the sensation of fear and oppression is there ! I love the low res 3D style, it gives a pleasant old school look, sound is great too. It could have been clearer if we can escape or not and I had some bugs but overall good game ! thanks
@mrschlag2 You are able to escape, you just need the security key from the CEO's office, I do see how this can be confusing, leaving the player without much guidance.
@tsunscreen The distraction mechanic is something I have wanted to be able to do for a while, just need a game to try it with. I am hoping to find more ways to expand upon it.
@codehacher123 Sorry about that, set the physics layers to not interact with each other at the last minute, forgot that certain things were on that layer.
@judgezedd Who knows they might already be in your house. I am glad it gave you the right atmosphere.
It was fun and terrifying! Loved the mood and the art style.
(I started playing on WebGL but I kept closing my tab by pressing CTRL W when I was sneaking)
Wow, you nailed the atmosphere, and a big part of that is due to the SFX. Well done! Didn't expect a game jam entry to give me chills. Ran through the security door and fell of the map as well. The use of the theme felt a bit shoehorned. I'm not sure about the stealth mechanics, it wasn't clear when the pal would detect the player or not. Crouching, in his back and in another room he still spotted me! However great job on such a short timeframe, mood is spot on!
Geeez! This is scary tho(played at night) bty, Game is awesome!
@flazone yeah I am sorry about that, I added the alternative c to crouch but forgot to mention it. I just feel webGL is worth all of the issues it has so people can access it in the easiest manner possible.
@namidasai Sorry about the door, near the end of the jam I found a bug and lazily fixed it. The fix involved disallowing collision on objectives, which includes the door, of course with a lack of sleep I never realized this. I am glad the SFX creeped you out, that just means its working :hear_no_evil:
@chukwuebuka-racer I am glad you enjoyed it, I find the setting you play a game in can surely change your experience. Hope you at least got some sleep afterwards.
VERY INTERESTING , enjoyed the controls and the throwing of cans couldnt get to far wanted to attack the thing coming at me
This is a simple and fun little horror game. Love the monster sound. Well done.
very simple but very cool, a bit hard knowing that i couldn't have been getting the CEO keys fast enough and the can thing didn't work really well, but really cool for a jam lov it ^^
