10 Seconds to Slime Freedom

Okay, I beat the game. It's actually a good stealth game ala Metal Gear Solid. I did lock myself in the first room after trying to figure out controls and killed all the rats. A menu to restart would be good. I think the move and "take over" buttons could be the same action, as it took time for me to get used to it. Was the character supposed to be the slime, because it looked like a glowing big rat. The npcs all seemed to care about the creature but nobody cares about a rat problem? Pretty addicting tho, I found myself determined to play again to complete the level. I did find a funny bug where, the capture seems to be too slow most of the time and i ended up chasing a rat around the edge of the map until i caught it. I had to go back and hunt for the ending cutscene trigger lol. Last thing i suppose would be to give some options after ending, because i had to force the game close.

Overall, i had a surprising amount of fun. Good job!

Seems fun but I couldn't figure out the first room :( I figured out could posses those creatures but then couldn't walk through or interact with the small hole the arrow pointed to?

This is a nice concept, could see it evolving into a fun stealth game with even more interactions, way to distract guards, etc. It was a bit difficult to avoid getting stuck, some kind of preview on how to interact with vents, doors, etc would be nice, I often found myself killing my host accidentally before the timer and getting stuck in a room. As previously mentioned it would be good with a level restart, but otherwise good job! Nice atmosphere to it!

@lvl99chicken You possess a rat and left-click the vent. If it doesn't work, I unfortunately can't help you. Never encountered that bug while testing.

cool game, the controls are horrible though. I would just make it WASD and when you get near an object you can interact with or infect, i would make that object glow and have a button above them saying something like "E to interact". But the music was nice, cool stealth theme, the premise was also cool, and i had fun playing it :D

really great visuals and idea itself is awesome! At first I thought the rats were mobile phones lol

I really enjoyed bathroom design as well xD

really impressive overall, although different controls for this type of game might be better I think

Nice idea, and a good atmosphere. The controls could use some work though. I think left click for both move and action would have been better. It felt a bit unresponsive and I kept thinking I was pressing the wrong button - sometimes I was. Also a way to restart is sorely needed considering how easy it is to get stuck. I chased the first rats into a corner where they were impossible to click on to possess. Somehow I killed the scientists instead of possessing them. This happened a few times. No idea what was triggering that.
