Can't play Windows-only game :cry: But the idea seems very relevant to the theme.
The sensation of claustrophobia is on point, the turns are a bit weird because the camera also turns
Nice work!
I really liked the atmosphere you created with the limited camera movement. There were moments were I felt as if I was being followed.
The only thing I would like to point out is that, personally, it was a little bit disorienting to turn instantly when pressing A/D, at least while I got used to it. Maybe using some kind of interpolation between angles when turning could help? There also seems to be a bug after turning (A/D) with the mouse camera sometimes. It makes it seem as if the player is walking sideways while pressing W.
You achieved your goal of giving a sense of claustrophobia! The theme is also well implemented. The turns are weird and do not work all the time. Which resulted in some frustrations and some dread every time I came across an intersection.
All in all pretty decent. Well done :smile:
This started really intruiging, but lost me when the turns happened. Then I ignored the mouse and just played with the keys and had a WAY better time :D Really loved the ending and the bit with the apple (apple?). Nice entry and Great sound!
Sorry but the controlls made me sick, like really that instant turns i didn't know what was happening at first i belive it'd have been much better if you could turn with mouse and walk with wsad.
The concept is good, but yeah, controls need to improve
Controls were wonky as stated above but I went OHHHHHHH when I realized you couldn't turn around. Totally achieves what it set out to.
Very scary atmosphere, well done! At some point my camera was turned incorrect, so I could turn it fully back and never to the right.
2spoopy 4 me. The sound effects caught me off guard!
Great spooky game! The atmosphere and sound effect is really great!
I like the atmosphere but I hate the controls, so confusing! :(
Good use of theme and good sound effects too!
Well donde! Take a candy! :candy:
The idea is fun, but sadly the controls is really bad.
I love the atmosphere and graphics of this game. The spider is so meme I think, It's really nice when in scary game I see that funny red eyes, when I crawling in ventilation and heard the sound I really scared but when I see eyes I smiled, alright, that really good entry bro! But there are problems with camera.
The intention was good, but I think there was a lack of better execution, and we know that time is cruel in the jam. I think that both the graphics and the sound could have been better used. I couldn't feel a claustrophobic feeling, although I thought I would from the photos. Then there was the problem with the camera, which was half broken. But the idea is great and totally on topic. I would love to have been able to feel what you planned.
I like the atmosphere but the controls are a bit confusing. I think it would be better to have A and D to move laterally left and right or at least have some turn animation instead of snap the view.
Legitimately made me feel uneasy, I didn't expect to play an unnerving game like this. The turning was really jarring, wish it had some smoothing to it so I didn't lose my way, but it pulled me in with the horror aspects. Good use of sounds.
The game does not have any way of exiting or restarting when you die, you must use alt-f4. Overall some really nice design decisions
Damn, great work. A game about finding a way out made me hate seeing hints, bc it means I found something new and could see/hear something scary and unexpected soon. Amazing job on the atmosphere and to be honest the somewhat clunky controls really added to the experience for me. I got confused and turned around many times :sweat_smile:
