I love this game. I love the graphics and the gameplay, I just wish there was a little more introduction on what knowledge is. I also noticed whenever I pressed [f] it would jumpscare me.

Nice atmosphere - stuggled to understand what to do at first
Thank you very much guys! I think i need to show some early tips when starting so you have more clue about how things work in the game, knowledge logic was a hard bit to do in the game, it had lots of connections, but for the simple aspect you just use it for finishing the tests. The idea is to explore and avoid lockers at all cost, each time you play the things randomize so it is a unique experience for you.
Yes.. Don't press F! Forgot in the last build to disable debug mode hehe "this game uses my custom ECS"
It has a specific graphics style, and everything goes well together. Good job with that. I also like the audio that gives some tension to it. However, I don't know what should happen. The game feels very slow-paced, and I just gave up after completing the third test because doing ten more didn't feel like a lot of fun. I was also running around the map trying to meet the stalker, as shown in the video but couldn't find him.
Also, I had some troubles doing the tests. I had to jump on the table and move around for a while before I was able to do it. Also, the door could be wider, so it is easier to go rooms.
I found a couple hours ago that the webGL version works different from the desktop one, im doing a port for desktop right now, as works very well there, for example the test pace is faster in desktop. Thanks @js for comfirm the problems.
Huge props for doing a 3d game for a jam, I know how difficult that can be. I enjoyed this game, it scared my pants off lol. I got a few suggestions though:
- The exams take way too long to complete. You basically need to go back to the library every time, which makes it a bit tedious. Maybe if they were shorter but more scattered around the building it would work better. - The walls and some of the other materials were too bright, specially for a horror game. - It seemed to me that once the monster finds you, you can't escape (or at least it didn't seem like it)
Overall, very cool game
Nice take on the theme, i think the game needs some bugfixes and tweaks, i often struggled to click on a test; whenever i press f the kill animation plays and it took me several minutes to find what i have to do. Also i think a test could use less knowledges, going everytime in the library is a bit annoying. Overall, the game has a great potential but it needs some more polish in my opinion.
A bit long and repetitive but the audio creeped me out. Maybe reduce the time needed to take a test, and increase the chance of seeing the murderer. I've only had the scary audio play twice, the first time I died, the second time I made it to the toilet in time
@asdehielo @llaumegui @jotlane Thank you for the feedback <3, im building at this moment a desktop port that solves many of the problems told, increased also the range of killer spawn and knowledge slowdown to speedup the test solving, is more like a hotfix that solves some annoying stuff.
PD: WebGL build has timing value trouble that's why tests take longer :cry:
Finally, i got it working again! I fixed the WebGL build in time and hotfix the problems, still few more things to touch, but most of the other ones are gone, playable in browser again :heart:
This game is amazing! Perfect!!.
its creppy x)
Absolutely horrifying!
Spookeh!
Creepy and scary, sounds are great and made me feel bad, which is well done for this kind of game, great work.
Is this like a "Baldi's Basics" but turned up to eleven!? lol :P
I shat myself. Thank you.
nice music, but it asked for $2 in itch.io to download the game...
This is really fun and creepy game good job, would like to see this be developed more and I could easily see YouTubers playing it!
The graphics look great! I got serious Baldi vibes from the school setting, but it's very clear that this game is something different. The test and knowledge mechanics look solid to, and that little hand animation when you take a test is gold. This looks like grade A nightmare fuel, and I mean that as a compliment ;)
