This really impressed me. I was totally sucked into the ambience and the environment. I reallly like it.
I can't beleive you made an actual stealth indoor level for the jam. The visual in general, the mood and the stealth part itself are cool. Also kudos to your level designer.
I'm currently stuck in a room with the gun. I jumped down from the vent after getting my first battery, took the gun aaand I can't get out? The door is locked and the jumps are not high enough to get back to the vent. Is there a bug or am I mising something?
Also, I can see you have very low given and received ratings. The ludum shows your game more if you give more ratings to the other games and get likes for your comments for other games. It would be a shame if this game eventually won't even pass the minimum 20 votes, so may be spend some time and check the other games!
Nice! Huge level that you've made here, with some metroidvania elements where the weapon unlock also unlocks new paths. The pacing was really good, and the ambiance was good as well. It was sort of lacking in the horror department, but I think the good level design made up for it. Well done!
Really nice mood with the sounds and graphic
@heiden-bzr you might use a gun to get out by shooting at the ventilation grill =)
@forik oh I see, thank you! Finished the game, loved it. The final getting to the escape pod was dense, a nice change of pace. Now I will whir while eating blueberries :D There's certainly an issue with the color coding. I have spent shaminly much time searching for the second battery, because they are, well, black thingies with yellow parts, just like a lot of other stuff in the game. I searched through all the maps before finding it. Same with the burnable grill, actually, could be that it only shares color with the projectile, and may be with the blueberries.
@heiden-bzr yea, nice hint about color. Thanks for feed =)
Wow, guys, I am really impressed that you did this game during the jam. Great work! (Graphics is amazing!)
Pretty incredible. Highly immersive, and looks great.
I have no clue how you did this during a jam but wow, what a game! My favorite of the jam so far, for sure!
Everything about this game is great. Good job!
I really liked the game! The color coding works great, I was surprised by how intuitive everything felt; I never got lost. The enemies are unique, and I probably wonât ever be able to eat or go near blueberries again! Fun-wise, I had a blast, even though it doesnât go much beyond what a typical horror shooter does. I also love how big and readable the subtitles are, they're so convenient, and they add a unique touch. Interpreting the theme as a tiny mysterious horrific monster is also unique, and probably the best use of the theme I have seen so far. Overall, itâs a really solid entry! Well done!
Wow, you really made this on LD?) VERY cool 3d, great style, unique enimes. Love it
Amazed that you did this one so fast! I got a bit sick due to the FOV I think, but I get sick playing portal.
WOW, what a amazing graphics, i like it...
Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres a vod of the stream with a chapter for your game

Also Wanted to ask if youre fine with me using gameplay from the game in this LDs [score chasers tournament](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/$405421/ludum-dare-score-chasers-qualification-begins) intermission video. (Would play in the breaks of the tournament on my stream). Last year for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuddhZScWxo
This is Impressive for a LD Game! Really nice Job! Grafics are cool and sounds are very well Chosen. Very Nice Submission!!
@ategon Ofc you can use gameplay =)
An approachable light-horror adventure game. If your weapon could dent things that would be a fun touch. The level design and audio is both convincing and has distinct parts that make it easier to draw your own pen and paper map as you go.
You are all SO good at creating atmospheric games. This one is no exception. It may just be some kind of blueberry alien, but I will tell you that I didn't finish the game cause I got too scared XD ahaha.
I'm glad you guys are still making games :3
I absolutely don't understand why this game has SO few ratings! It's very, VERY good. It is a full-fledged changing location with elements of metroidvania. The game has a mood and strong style. It does not over-explain itself, but it's easy to understand what to do. I can't even believe that you did this in three days, congratulations :) I sincerely think that this game deserves more attention! Great job!
p.s. Yeah, it's not a horror game imo, but I don't care about genres anyway
First off, This was awesome and my favorite so far! I just tried Alien Isolation last night and this gave me similar vibes!
I thought the level design was really good and it seemed like the difficulty was slowing ramping up. I got really excited when I found that gun. I had actually gotten frustrated at first and quit because I had just woken up and I guess I wasn't ready for a challenge yet, but I was intrigued so I gave it another go and finished it lol.
Minor things: Right after getting the 2nd battery...the text still says get the batteries. I think it would have been helpful if it had sad something like...ok now power on the reactor or something. I was just initially confused because I had the batteries setup and it still said get the batteries and I didn't realize I needed to toggle another switch.
There was some minor clipping of the weapons and batteries against the environment...nothing major...just a tiny thing that fixing could add more polish to the game if you decide to spend more time on this.
Anyway, well done!
Really solid project with a gorgeous aesthetic. Unreal engine is still one of the best. The main idea is simple, but really well done. The spaceship is a little bit too clean for me - I guess that it could be scariest with dirty zones. I liked walking in the room, trying to understand what I have to do. The creatures are really well done and the FX are good. Impressive ++
Hello there! Watched Tiger_j play it live, nice to finally leave a comment (:
Really nice game, the controls are smooth and do not distract, the puzzles (puzzles? can i call battary hunting puzzles?) are pretty fun if you are prettu good with direction, the pew-pew is amaizing (i would love if there vere some bluberry vines you could shoot too buuut oh well, vents are already really cool), i do think that it makes tittle sence to not destroy the vent instantly tho? kinda confusing, feels like you need to shoot repetadly
I love the 3d models and graphics at all, bluberries were weird but cool, tho you calling them bluberries kinda made me treat them less seriously i think? still awesome tho
Overall a very cool game
That was great. Nice atmosphere and an impressive amount of content for the weekend. You did a great job of making the entities feel scary. I did get a bit lost in a couple of places towards the end,and the battery could be more obviously a battery. It took a while to find because it didn't really stand out as something to be picked up.
Very atmospheric experience! I am curious what other games you are going to make! Well done :fire:
Thank you for bringing it to the stream :)

The ending is seriously so funny! Great work!
Some very strong guided level design at work here. Good placement allowed the large immobile bluberries to still build a sense of unease.
I had a great time playing this on my stream. Thanks so much for bringing it by!
