can't download the file, something about scanning for viruses

The horror theme is good but game needs to be optimised.

Sorry about that, looks like Google Drive has some issues with Firefox on Windows. ~~Added a Dropbox mirror, hopefully that helps~~ The files are direct download now

The 3D models and textures look really nice - were these all made for the jam? Some fog or more darkness would have really set the mood. The mouse sensitivity was way too high - would be nice if it were customizable. I wasn't a huge fan of the controls (having to drop the package to do anything else, the right click menu). My package got stuck on the ladder when I placed it, so I wandered around aimlessly for a while. The "boo"s got me xD. I couldn't figure out how to get past the gate with the code.

As a horror game it was nice. The controls were bit clunky and the enviroment didnt set a proper mood. But still a fun game to play. Interesting take on the theme, making it into a horror game.

lagged pretty badly in parts and had invisible walls everywhere, I got to a little house but I was blocked from getting closer to it with no real way to know what to do next. The overall atmosphere is nice but the trees glitching and floating above the ground did ruin it a little.

Thanks for the feedback, many of the models have been imported (and tweaked) from public libraries, but there are custom ones like the signs, arm barriers, and asphalt texture. I added some hint for the puzzles to the game page.

The sound design in this horror game is absolutely top-notch! It really sets the mood and creates a terrifying atmosphere. The visuals remind me of old-school horror games from 2010, which I love. However, I did find myself confused on the way and struggled to find where to deliver the package, thus I believe the player path could use some improvement. Still, this game is must-play for any horror fan.

Great atmosphere! I think this is a nice little horror game. First I couldn't figure I had to interact with that object at the first gate. At the last gate I threw the package over the gate and considered the job done :).

Man, I hate horror games. However, you tested my project, so I have to do the same. I am a polite person :) In fact, there is a solid atmosphere in your game with an oppressive background (this is what I dislike in horror games). You've really made the grade. I noticed some bugs which you should fix in order to get the best result - especially with the controls and the colliders. You should use a second cam when you have the packet in your hands. In other cases, it passes through some objects. The car is ridiculously small. Have in mind some sizes according to reality... This is a solid entry. Congratulations. Thank you for this horrific experience - tonight my dreams will be freaky I guess. I wish you the best ++

Very atmospheric. Nice environment and good use of the ambient music, though it loses its edge after a while of wandering around trying to find any clues I may have missed. The invisible walls were very annoying. I often got stuck the wrong side of them. I managed to get past the second gate without the key, and was quite confused when I unlocked it to find I was back in a place I had already been. Putting the box down next to that gate made it impossible to pick up again as clicking would always trigger the gate instead. The code puzzle is a bit obtuse. The first time I tried the box never showed up as a thing to inspect. Perhaps I didn't stand in precisely the right spot to trigger that. I did notice when I quit though that the code is printed to the console so I kinda ended up cheating to get to the end. In retrospect I did find all the clues other than that issue with the inspect one so that was a lot of unnecessary wandering.

I wasn't expecting a horror game to be made using the theme. I'm really impressed! The atmopshere is lovely and it fits the theme for the jam! At least if throwing packages at gates counts as "delivering!"
