Any screenshots to add to page description? I think without some screenshots, folks are not sure if it is game they want to play.

Well, I’ll add a bit of context about the game. You’re looking at 859 MB uncompressed. The game has pretty decent visuals, and I’ll include a few screenshots so you can better understand what it’s about. The atmosphere is quite oppressive—it seems like some kind of submarine or bunker. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out what exactly you’re supposed to do in the game. I wandered around the location a bit, and that’s where my experience ended.UnrealGame-Win64-Shipping_4wuJp7Nhdp.jpg UnrealGame-Win64-Shipping_aggcmHcxp9.jpg UnrealGame-Win64-Shipping_Y4YkkE0Ihh.jpg

A fun, easy-to-play game that’s perfect for short breaks.

intresting game, like idea

First puzzle with the cypher was absolutely way too difficult to wrap my brain around, thankfully someone in my Twitch chat (forik2628 shoutout lol) was able to give me the solution. After that, it immediately brought me back into the atmosphere. Really stellar creation, but please don't put the hardest puzzle at the beginning again XD well done and thanks for your entry!

I really loved the atmosphere of this game. I immediately noticed similarities with the game Soma, if you're familiar with it. And that's a theme I really enjoy.

I watched the CoopCouchShow play this. The mood was very well done, the realism and the effects added to the feel. I figured out one of the puzzles before the streamers did haha, felt clever.

feels like being stuck on a cyclope in subnautica

Great atmosphere! Really felt lonely and a little claustrophobic. Gameplay was straightforward enough that I could pick it up easily enough and it kept me engaged until the end.

Good job

Really impressed by the visuals — they look fantastic, and the oppressive atmosphere is done really well, it genuinely feels tense and immersive. By the way, are those assets or did you make everything yourself?

If you have time, I’d really appreciate it if you could check out my game too 🙂

This is insanely good and well-polished. I loved the intense atmosphere and the puzzles. I was especially impressed by the extremely well-made level and the art style, but I noticed you opted-out of the graphics category, so I assume the level was made before the jam or by somebody else? Either way, great job!

@theoratkin @ochpochpunk we used free assets from the epic games store (like 5 packs i think). The level design, level art, shaders and light was made during the jam. Here was made a lot of work to achieve this atmosphere, but we are for clear voting and we poped out from graphics =)

Thanks that play our game and feedback, will check yours soon =)

Great visuals and atmosphere! The decryption seemed too complicated at first, but then it clicked for me.

You made a great game!

Nice idea
