Nice man

Cool puzzle game with a good little creepy ambiant, the visuals are going great with the feeling of the game.

It was hard to figure out what was going on and what to do, but intriguing and fun! Interesting experience, thanks!

A bit disorienting but I liked it

I felt like a lonely watchman in a distant warehouse, whose only entertainment is a hand-held generator, one socket and a couple of light bulbs. But, suddenly, there's someone else in the warehouse who wants a hug;) It felt good, but lacked dynamics and tension. Didn't see the theme of limited space.

A bit confusing about what I need to do, I don't know, but it's an interesting little game.

Interesting puzzle game. Fits the theme well.

I was really confused at first, did not see that there was a tutorial. After that, I still didn't understand what to do and died unexpectedly... Concept is interesting but it's hard to navigate and use interact with the things, still nice job.

It's a neat idea for a horror game and a good use of the theme. It took me a min to figure out how to play, even after the tutorial. Maybe instead of the clock counting up to an unknown number, it could count down instead so the player can have an idea of the finish point. Checking for the monsters was always tense. One more suggestion would be to narrow the side movement bars. I accidentally kept turning when not intending to.

Got slightly confused before the game started. When I found out you can click the wall and the tutorial continues, everything made sense.

Disregarding that, this game is awesome. I really liked the atmosphere of just having to wait on a phone call that may or may not happen, all the while "something" is just down the hall from you. I felt helpless, especially 3 minutes in when I had used all of my speaker plays.

The only part that sucked was the ending. I would've even accepted the cliche "monster kills you anyway" ending for this game. Other than that, fantastic game.

Death screen always scared the shit out of me... and kept the tension high on the next round.

I had much fun, great athmosphere and good fit to the theme!

bobafett89 2023-10-09 13:14

I really enjoyed this game. The tension was high and graphics and audio complemented it. Though i at first I didn't know, why I'm keep turning this lever, and I only understood it after the game, when I checked it ine the menu. Overall, really good game, well done.

Took me a while to get the game but managed to finish it in the end. You can keep turning the leaver on the battery, it charges over the max amount :wink:. I liked the game, quite a mood setter. win.png

@gnum Thank you!

@alexis8 Thanks, I feel like the pixel graphics fit well with this kind of vibe

@owc Yeah I can agree with you. The tutorial needs a rework, it was something I did very quickly at in the last hour before submitting.

@newvid Thanks!

@goddzeproject Thank you, I'm planning on adding more narrative elements to add to the dynamics, also the lack of scary monster sounds is bad for the tension! Thanks for the feedback

@constance Thank you, I agree, the tutorial definitely needs to be redone

@clema Thanks a lot!

@martin-bousquet Thank you for the feedback, making it easier to interact with the different objects is a big priority

@siberpunk01 Thank you for your valuable feedback, definitely good points to consider improving!

@real-flamingicecubegames Thank you for your kind words! Yeah, I would agree that the ending is not so good, it is something that I didn't put a lot of effort into, I would love to add a more clear and narratively interesting ending! Stay tuned (:

@gilborn Hahaha, even I got scared when I playtested! I might have made it a bit to loud hahah. Thank you for your kind words

@bobafett89 Thanks for the feedback!

@baubau Wooah, congratulations, very impressed that you managed to beat it! Thank you for the bug report, hahah, I didn't know it would continue charging

commanderstitch 2023-10-11 00:52

Just don't turn ALL the way around. Those comfort hands just hang out. Had a hard time hearing the numbers, scared me so bad. yikes! EEEeeeeee

metagen 2023-10-12 04:19

Amazing horror game!

lincolnsalles 2023-10-13 02:29

Unfortunately the camera is making me dizzy, the camera hardly stabilizes, any touch to the side causes a sudden turn. So you can't play properly. I even connected some plugs, I died too, but the camera made me dizzy, I had to give up.

scarytreegames 2023-10-19 15:43

I like atmospheric dark games and this game is one of them. Good result for 48 hours of development!

r8teful 2023-10-20 14:08

@commanderstitch Yeah you know the drill! I agree that the numbers are quite hard to hear. I'm glad the game was effective at scaring you! hahah

@metagen Thank you loads!

@lincolnsalles Thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry to hear that it made you dizzy, I'll change so that the camera movement is more direct

@scarytreegames Thank you for the kind words!
