I liked the mood in this game, felt unnerving with the background noise. I managed to get out!

Nice work!

You received an update. It failed. lol

If this game has taught me anything; it's that I will never survive crashing into the watery depths.

I'd definitely like if I didn't have to hold the right mouse button to look around, if it was just an FPS camera. Other than that, this really gives a deep sense of suspense and anxiety, so mission accomplished 😅

I don't know if I just have Extreme Gamer Reflexes™️, but I felt like the timers for health and temperature could be made a little shorter.

The intro cutscene was a really nice touch to set the mood. Probably out of scope for a jam, but some simple fade effects on the images and captions could make it feel more cinematic.

It's too dark. The atmosphere is great,but it's a strugle to play

Wow, this was quite the ambitious project. Lots of stuff going on here, some of it's really good, and some of it could just use some work. I'd say the only thing missing is the lack of polishing. There were some things like the lack of light in the beginning or just in general knowing where to go that resulted in me waving my mouse around like crazy and clicking. I think you nailed the atmosphere. All the sound effects were super great, and I loved the comedic intro going into the super serious game. That was really funny. The puzzles were also pretty satisfying to complete, it was just really difficult to know what to do next. Again, you always amaze me with how ambitious your projects are, and even though this one could use some polishing, I still think it's definitely a great addition to your collection of games!

Neat idea. The atmosphere was eerie. I got stuck and couldn't finish though, maybe adding a slight glow to interactables if the player hasn't progressed after a few minutes would be a good hint system.

your game gave me stress like none other did in this jam . I didn't see the bandage at first so i melted my brain to figure out how to escape in time . does the game has multiple endings ? i didn't see what to do whit the axe .

jacobingalls 2023-10-05 01:39

Are there multiple ways to escape? I only had to solve one puzzle / minigame and the power was never restored or anything like that. Did I miss something? I agree that it was too dark for me, I had to rely heavily on the text.

Nice game! Great ambience, enjoyable puzzles, great graphics.

Didn't make me feel like I was stuck like some point and click games I've played (although I was a kid back then). The contrast between the happy song at the beginning and the game afterwards was a nice touch.

Almost won on the first try, but only did it on the second one.

Someone said it's too dark -- I started playing on a TV/monitor, and it was perfect. But I switched to my notebook's screen, and it was indeed too dark.

A bit difficult, but also pretty fun. An in game control tutorial would have been great, but else no issues with the game. Well done.

Wow, what an atmosphere!! That was terryfing!

gamester1128 2023-10-05 19:36

The game was very interesting :D

dodoita 2023-10-06 17:01

Ambitious project with a good atmosphere. A bit too short maybe, but it was fun.

devez 2023-10-06 20:02

So I got the knife as soon as I started and escaped very easily but there were these other things around and I was wondering if there is an alternate ending or something. So I replayed and managed to open the glovebox and there it was again. So I think maybe your knife is bugged and you can get it through the glovebox without opening it? Nice puzzle though, I liked it!

raivk 2023-10-08 10:35

Thought it was quite dark, and near the end finally thought about the light... hahaha, made it out alive! Nice point&click

dan-str 2023-10-10 07:55

cool game, keep up the good work

balimaarthebassfish 2023-10-10 11:09

Found the right click to look around very annoying which caused me to lose the first couple times. Managed to escape on my 3rd attempt. It was a good game in the end, just had to get over the way the camera worked... and I knew where everything in the car was.

milq 2023-10-10 11:19

The overwhelming sensation is unbearable! Starting the game trapped in the car with that atmospheric sound in the background feels suffocating! The mood is impressively set! The graphics are exceptionally well-crafted, especially given the short development time. I played it on Debian GNU/Linux, and the controls were slightly uncomfortable for me. But aside from that, all that remains is to congratulate you on this tremendous game. Congrats!

fatemperor 2023-10-10 15:46

Very atmospheric game. A hybrid of escape rooms and point and click games. I especially liked the sound design and the successful use of Shepard's tone. Great job, guys.

steampowered85 2023-10-10 15:58

Yo, great game! loved the feel of the camera and the look of the game. That audio loop had me on edge haha!

2023-10-12 04:56

Very neat game, atmospheric indeed! Quite a stanndout.

knightoftheday 2023-10-12 11:36

Thrilling experience! Very nice entry!

lastuck 2023-10-13 14:06

Great mood! But I think there's a bug, I could get the knife at my first try to cut my seatbelt and go to the back without opening its container. I tried again to do all the puzzles and figured I should have opened it first. Appart from this bug it's very nice!

Que massa parabéns pela criatividade muito bom!

thunderchief 2023-10-13 16:22

Nice ambiance

skylife 2023-10-14 08:42

I have to admit it was a bit frustrating at first, since the game is too dark and you begin to just randomly click somewhere if a text appears.. But I got out nevertheless and I really like the atmosphere and the sounds. Once you restory your vision, the graphics look great too. In the end it is a well done game, just a bit too dark for my liking :)

egormnc 2023-10-14 14:37

The game is interesting, it was quite nice to play it, keep working on it and everything will be cool
