Can't see any link to your game and no description. Is everything submitted correctly?

desi 2026-04-20 15:58

@indigowolf , cant see anything either. :(

mr-flower 2026-04-20 18:09

Yeah, seeing the same issue as well, looked like good stuff, especially since there was a team and not just a soloist :(

ulziton 2026-04-20 22:58

Cool one, stylish visual:3

reimi 2026-04-21 15:48

A virus warning prevents the download.

turotomo 2026-04-21 15:58

Stylish visuals- it’s mesmerizing to wander around the surroundings!

xotraz 2026-04-21 16:37

Sadly, the mouse sensitivy is way too high and I did not really knew what to do, but I managed to do a tour!

It is good looking, and there is potential. Screen

basic-eagles 2026-04-21 18:30

@xotraz Hi, you can change the sensitivity in the main menu using the sensitivity slider below the Play button

basic-eagles 2026-04-21 18:32

@reimi Uhh, I guess it’s being detected as a virus because the game has a hyperlink to our Discord in the main menu It’s safe, you can even use VirusTotal to check for viruses

Where's the web game? 😢

2026-04-21 19:19

Great atmosphere and an interesting concept. Some small bugs like stuff falling throuogh the ground but i think this has a lot of potential.

kukaracila215 2026-04-21 19:30

I did not expect the storm to be THAT, all right after seeing the little dude in the corner of my eye. Good game love stuff like this

2026-04-21 19:55

Excellent horror, I felt the atmosphere when the fog came, it was as if I was wandering there myself

2026-04-21 20:03

So atmospheric, can feel it that I myself in the forest. You did great work!

alexander-stepanov 2026-04-21 20:51

very beautiful interesting and promising game. But i dropped it after 15 minutes trying to figure out what to do. Have seen the strom and then dropped

2026-04-21 21:42

A very interesting project. Although the graphics are simple, combined with the sound design, it looks atmospheric. I wasn't too keen on the gameplay, though.

cedaoan 2026-04-21 23:13

Such a good job in creating the horror vibe, I'm not so clear of where to go, but the vibe and the surrounding and the eerie feeling are so nice.

gruzdid 2026-04-22 05:00

I couldn't handle the game. Great sounds, good atmosphere, but I couldn't even figure out the tutorial.

dmitriyci 2026-04-22 09:58

A cool horror game with appropriate style and sounds. The game has a huge number of mechanics, and it's not even clear how they managed to implement them in such a short time. The tutorial is a plus for the game.

Overall, everything in the game is really well done.

maychils 2026-04-22 11:12

cool visual, somewhat reminiscent of fears to fathom , but it seems to lack a tutorial (

delinn 2026-04-22 11:39

Достаточно качественный туториал, интересная механика с антенами, достаточно необычная. Но основаня локация слишком темная и не очень понятно, как и куда продвигаться, чтобы пройти игру. Атмосфера пустынная, это круто сделано

lehanfox 2026-04-22 12:16

I had to spend quite a while playing, which is probably both a plus and a minus. The storms force you to pause, and the rush to the booth for each new transmitter gets longer the closer you get to the end. Overall, it's very interesting and atmospheric, with working mechanics. This build could be a good foundation for a horror or survival game, or perhaps some kind of story. It's great that the game feels narratively complete, with a clear goal from the start, and a good tutorial.

venomousmouse 2026-04-22 14:34

Nice visual, but too dark for my liking.

garyglhf 2026-04-22 18:06

Класс очень атмосферно, и необычная идея.

hoarime 2026-04-23 16:47

i Wishi couldve found metallic worms from myydre ams with the met4l d3tecto0r i havelost them a long time ago fun fact worms have 0.2% of ferrum in THEIR bodieSsss55555 :DD

sphone-official 2026-04-23 19:37

you know what ok i'll wait and let you cook. (i spent alot of minutes playing this game and i think i broke the game because i couldn't make signals connect anymore :( , was cool tho)

korzhik 2026-04-23 20:17

@sphone-official If you can describe in more detail what actions you were taking and where exactly you got stuck, that would really help us out.

sphone-official 2026-04-23 22:47

i had lost my wrench so after one of my machines turned red i went to the one before it to move it's signal to a secondary one a i built next to the one that broke, after i did that i was unable to send anymore signals to any other machines i built, the signal would appear for a frame but vanish instantly when it didnt do that before, i tried making more machines around it to see if it was just the one i was sending to that was broken but none of them received it properly anymore, just appeared for a frame then poof. (i could send a picture of where it happened tomorrow if you'd like but i doubt it was related to where pillars were because it was working fine before i had to do the reconnecting)

korzhik 2026-04-23 23:21

@sphone-official Strange, I can't reproduce this bug. Sorry it affected your experience - we'll try to figure out what's going on. Did you move the antenna targeting crosshair with WASD after the signal was established? Or did it appear and vanish immediately even without touching the crosshair?

daliamha 2026-04-24 02:44

Fine game. I like metal detector system

valentinwb 2026-04-24 11:26

I am amazed by the amount of work this must have been during 3 days. The mood is really on point. The only thing that I found quite frustrating is the limited orientation angle of the antenna but apart from that this was a blast ! Congrats on your entry guys, very well done !

fassenberg 2026-04-24 11:47

I really liked the metal detector. The visuals are quite appealing. Holding ESC feels like a very unusual choice, but overall it was fun! Thanks!

jynxaudio 2026-04-24 17:50

Its good! I think it took a little too long to finish, but I did manage to find a shortcut which made it quicker! It was very spooky, you nailed the mood, but once I realised that the guy didn't do anything to you it became more a... Continue and sometimes stand still simulator? I liked the little minigame for the good end though!

korzhik 2026-04-24 19:24

@jynxaudio Thanks for the feedback! You're right - the game lacks a proper difficulty curve, so everything starts repeating from the midpoint onward. We had the opportunity to add a couple more challenge layers toward the end, but we decided against it because the concept of the player losing everything and having to restart after placing ten or so antennas seemed questionable from a design perspective.

fkjaha 2026-04-24 23:00

Nice horror game, the storm had me actually feel uneasy but thankfully there were no danger in there :) I have completed the entire game without using the metal detector, holding 2 antennas was actually more convenient. Overall, a great submission.
