The graphics and audio are excellent. But I don't understand how to play it. There's no tutorial.

vlaflya 2026-04-21 07:57

Really cool horror atmosphere! Maybe less of knocking would be nice - once its cool, but it gates kinda irritating after a while. Still a cool game!

j3m 2026-04-21 08:03

The web version seems to be a bit broken? My normal cursor appears next to the in-game cursor, and it's like the game isn't properly capturing mouse input. When I click and drag the whole screen goes blue, as if I'm selecting it in the web page.

2026-04-21 08:03

The graphics, audio and atmosphere are very cool!

jk5000 2026-04-21 09:16

The game is looking great and sound is overall really good. How to play is needed. And web version has some issues as already mentioned. But else seem to be a very well made game.

ficho 2026-04-21 10:12

We are working on some fixes, specially the cursor bug for the webGL version @j3m. Will publish ASAP.

The ambiance is really well done, I was really tense 'typing' a phone number and playing with the radio, but the controls were hard to use I find, which really broke the immersion imo :( but you got me immersed, so good job on that one :ok_hand:

enryu-mirik 2026-04-21 10:38

Wow, how did you manage to make it so beautiful during the jam duration?

vlad-len 2026-04-21 13:55

Love this graphics and atmosphere

zwi-zausch 2026-04-21 14:25

impressive, most impressive! Love the artstyle, audio work, general vibe and the polish! I did not fully understand what I'm supposed to do, dialing 9358 did not work and the morse tapper did not do anything either... mh 🤔 time did reset at some point, so i guess i can just try it again over and over ?

pacific14 2026-04-21 14:47

Very good and atmospheric game! Well done!

thedugnutt 2026-04-21 17:08

Really great looking game.

When I first played I immediately hung up the phone on accident because I didnt know I had to hold down the button to answer. Enjoying this one though, great job!

someday-not-today 2026-04-21 17:35

so polished, nice work

Voices of the British

dywanix 2026-04-21 21:32

great vibe

nyxkn 2026-04-21 21:35

I call in at the right time but they never put me through. UGHH I NEED TO KNOW, HELP?

Game looks and feels great, atmosphere is incredible. All the little sounds and visuals are just perfectly unsettling. So far the gameplay has been cool but very unintuitive, and can't seem to be able to figure out how to continue :cry:

enriranjan 2026-04-22 05:51

@mekuire @zwi-zausch @nyxkn If you are having a hard time finishing, we have added the H button that gives you clues about the morse you send, the radio chain, and the phone you are calling. Additionally in the description we have put clues in case people need it!

Thank you very much to everyone for the feedback, we hope you enjoy this experience :)

enriranjan 2026-04-22 05:54

@j3m We have already put in a bugfix and you can play without leaving the cursor of the application.

Thank you all very much for the feedback!

helgust 2026-04-22 07:33

Very nice, well made game. I really like the way how interactions works, so immersive! But during the play some king notepad where i could write down a listened beeps and boops from radio. Because not every time you have physical notepad next to you.

2026-04-22 08:00

Hi @helgust, thank you very much for your comment! We actually have in mind incorporating some kind of mechanic to capture relevant information in an immersive way for future updates :)

shivvvy 2026-04-22 08:06

I really love the atmosphere of the game and the sense of urgency brought by the time limit. ⏱️🎮✨

ppko 2026-04-22 11:14

Great art work! Cool SFX! I love the 101fm

alexander-stepanov 2026-04-22 11:14

TOO LOUD!

kenneth-gibson 2026-04-22 11:17

atmospheric as hell, great work

accelerate0814 2026-04-22 11:18

Cool game!!!

mantou 2026-04-22 11:34

The environment feels very immersive, and the interactions are smooth and believable. The ambient sounds and the radio really help pull you into the game.

anaastaska 2026-04-22 11:35

I really enjoy visual and audio of the game but it would be great to add some tutorial maybe, as i spent time to understand what i need to do and how game works. Otherwise interesting idea!

stuckne1 2026-04-22 12:14

I thought it looked great, but yea I didn't really know how to play it.

venomousmouse 2026-04-22 12:25

Very polished and atmospheric game!

awp 2026-04-22 14:14

I tried playing the web version but it appears to be broken (Linux - Firefox). As soon as I click on an object (phone or morse code paddle) my screen freezes and I get an annoying buzzer that doesn't stop. I tried your game twice before giving up.

I do like what I saw and hear so I think the theme is solid but the play is lacking

2026-04-22 14:14

NICE vibe, audio and visual design. Amazing all of the game! I Love it so much

enriranjan 2026-04-22 14:37

@awp We haven't tested the Linux-Firefox combination yet, but we've tried several browsers and haven't encountered that issue. We'll try testing it that way to see if we can identify the error and fix it. Thank you very much for the feedback!

pavel-goncharov 2026-04-22 15:56

Looks nice, but I don’t understand how to play. I wish it has onboarding tutorial or something. ☺️

stormdrill 2026-04-22 19:28

The vibe is great and using actual radio equipment was a cool touch. However, as a beginner, I struggled a bit to get the hang of it

wormkingboo 2026-04-22 22:14

Very impressive depth for a jam game! The atmosphere is great - especially the way the lighting was set up 🔥 Beautiful work

pimeko 2026-04-22 22:28

The mood is really really great. Pretty immersive. Kind of struggled to play on my end as it was very laggy on the web version, but nice entry!

zastegnushka 2026-04-22 23:47

Great work on visuals and atmosphere

chaseplays 2026-04-23 03:31

I love so so much about this! The atmosphere you guys have managed to create is so perfect, the audio and dialogue especially is so much fun. The puzzles are really interesting, the concept is really cool, and once I realized that you could fast forward I liked it so much more.

I somehow wasn't able to finish the game, though. Even knowing (removed bc spoiler tags don't work).

I'd love to know if I'm missing something. If so, it would be a huge help to add it to the hints.

But seriously - amazing work. Seems like I'm just having a hard time getting the game to properly end.

enriranjan 2026-04-23 06:56

@chaseplays Yes, it is a bug that we are investigating because it happens, in principle you got it since sending the code after the call the game ends, with which you got it. But it is true that there is a bug that makes the credits not shown, we hope to solve it soono

kauri-j 2026-04-23 07:53

Cool! A highly polished game! I like the scary atmosphere the game creats. Great job!

soul-grinder 2026-04-23 11:57

Really cool and creepy, I kept thinking something was going to sneak up on me whilst I was messing with the radio lol. Excellent work, very unique jam entry too!

kabbi 2026-04-24 13:18

I really enjoyed the physical interactions with all the controls. In fact, I'm jealous of them)

joegreen 2026-04-24 17:30

The look and feel of this is just amazing! The way you interact with objects is not something I'm used to, but it's super interesting. Actually brought me back to using phones like this 😅

But honestly, I'm just not sharp enough to beat the game… Still — fantastic work!

shram 2026-04-24 19:18

This is a fucking awesome game, but I'm too stupid to beat it. It's the best thing I've seen so far.

irkar 2026-04-25 18:14

Cool visual style like in "Fears to fathom" and i like this scary atmosphere. Nice job!

miclefirst 2026-04-26 10:46

It seems the game is a bit lacking in gameplay explanation. I really liked the atmosphere and execution, but unfortunately I didn’t quite understand what I was supposed to do.

Still, it didn’t ruin my overall impression — very nice work!

3blackpixels 2026-04-26 15:31

Great video and audio, but damn, I don't know what to do.

scottyartt 2026-04-27 11:01

Need a tutorial, I really don't know what to do, nothing intuitive, but visually - perfect!

kandvise 2026-04-29 22:56

I was told to listen to music on the phone, so I did, it was great. Cool game! The idea of catching signals and rewinding time is awesome. It solves the problem in VOTV where you can miss an event. Here, you can't miss anything. Overall, I don't really get what's happening, but I like it!

enriranjan 2026-04-30 07:23

@scottyartt @miclefirst The appeal of the game lies in playing it over and over again; it’s impossible to hear and understand everything that’s going on in a single playthrough. That’s why players discover new mechanics and dynamics as they replay the game—which is why it automatically restarts at 2:30 if you don’t win.

Thank you so much for the feedback, and I’m glad you liked the visuals :D

steinhks 2026-04-30 14:27

It's cool, but it's really hard to understand what the game wants from you. Nice interaction mechanics and interesting concept, very atmospheric, good job!

wallted 2026-05-04 19:51

Brilliant take on the theme. You achieved a great narrative with the use if the rewinding and fixed time frame, unusual for a jam game and setting is winded up to perfection. But this was pretty hard for me. I brought the book with myself, I wrote everything on the paper, but I am still stuck at, I presume, the last bit. The spoilers do not help me, I am unable to solve this, sorry

kack3y 2026-05-04 20:25

Very polished entry here. Really fitting atmosphere.

Even with the hints and the H menu I still don't understand how to get the attack code ^^'

Love all the content in radio and graphics ;)

ao-85 2026-05-04 21:17

I really enjoy visual and audio of the game but it would be great to add some tutorial maybe, as i spent time to understand what i need to do and how game works.
