I have read the story of Dyatlov pass before. Cool graphics. Cool music.

cool atmosphere. lots of interesting details. I smoked 20 cigarettes while I was working on computer

cool atmosphere, like the smoking meme, hahha. But for me it was a bit repetative and sometimes, even though the lines were spot on, i had error. Maybe its a me problem, but nonetheless. However, great work!

Lazy work; in 3 days, 3 people could have done it better; there’s no unified visual style in the graphics.

well executed! The vibes were quite spooky and eerie. I didnt know of the "Dyatlov pass" before this! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident] is well worth a visit

The visuals and the cigarette - hats off to you. I didn't quite figure out how to play, but oh well. Also, I didn't get why there’s a tape recorder when there’s already background music

really cool visuals!

I didn’t quite grasp what I was supposed to do with the computer, but the game hooked me; the Russian news on the radio and the cigarettes really set a Soviet-era atmosphere.

A very pleasant atmosphere. the cassette mechanism is truly satisfying, though I didn't know what I was supposed to do on the PC. Thanks for including a cigarette, it really helped me de-stress in that situation.

The eerie atmosphere, Soviet-era details, and cassette mechanics give this game a lot of character. I sometimes wasn’t sure what to do on the computer, but exploring the mystery was still compelling. Great work!

Awesome, your game is magnificent! I had a blast playing it, really cool stuff

Cool mood and atmosphere! The puzzles were a bit too cryptic for me though 😅

yezisoft 2026-10-21 08:13 ♥ 1

i smoke too much. cool art

I gave up at the computer part but some of the controls on the oscilloscope don't seem to work sometimes.

@miguel-monteiro @rosa00 Check first symbols of words

Very creepy atmosphere maybe if you add russian voice it be nice and more creepy and cool 3d models

Really cool and atmospheric concept! Setting a game around the Dyatlov Pass mystery with vintage tech in the snow creates such an eerie, immersive mood. The retro equipment and environmental vibe fit the theme nicely. Left full ratings! If you have a minute later to check out more jam entries, we’d love if you took a look at our game Meow Bomb as well. Best of luck with the jam!

The Dyatlov pass story is a great fit for an old-tech setting, and the smoky, eerie mood really sells it. Working with the cassette and the radio panel feels fitting. It could use a clearer explanation of the controls, but the atmosphere is the highlight for me. Good job.

Quite an atmospheric game about the daily life of a radio operator simulator. Interacting with in-game items is a little awkward, and unfortunately I got stuck right at the part with the third cassette and the computer. The thing is, the game doesn't really explain how to do the decoding, so I clicked through a few commands and nothing happened. Still, I really enjoy the atmosphere and hope the decoding part gets a bit clearer. Keep up the development!

Cool usage of the oscilloscope! I had to look back here on how to solve the computer puzzle, and I'm not sure what it had to do with the Dyatlov Pass incident, but it was cool and fun!

zaikorrr 2026-10-22 14:25 ♥ 1

Cool idea, all in all understandable!:D

daniel123 2026-10-23 13:50 ♥ 1

I think the depth of this game is worth exploring further.

I enjoyed the mood, the computer puzzle took a bit of time to figure out but im glad i did, really liked that this game featured voiceacting, this was a pleasant surprise
