hello Ludum Dare, first time here, I'm going for a VERY small game... Since this is my second speedrun game (the first one was for the 7DFPS and was named Corpse Garden, and I learned a lot.) My concept is almost on the title... You are a villain... should you kill the victim?

I've rushed it fast! It's filthy, from graphics to code, but it's kind of finished in time. I'm using unity indie, by the way.

Oh, and there's an evil goat.

Very moody. Well done.

Can I please have a cross hair? :)

Graphically, it's cool, but has a very limited interactivity.

Reminds me of that experiment where people are fine hurting/torturing people as long as there's an authority sanctioning it or giving the orders. :)

Nice graphics and sound, sadly not much gameplay.

Interesting concept. That's all right now.

Really hard concept. Great atmosphere.

Top-notch modelling and texturing, but movement sluggish and can clip through walls. Like the simplicity of the concept, but without any choice it feels forced, like the climax of The Darkness game. Thought-provoking though.

Very dark, and great job on the modelling. Shame there isn't more to it though.

Very grim and visually nice! Not much gameplay unfortunately.

I wrote a mini review: http://ldmr.wzl.vg/#feili

If you want me to link somewhere (twitter/else) let me know :)
You know the drill: not enough gameplay. It could be made into an artistic statement though, because the superb graphics and mood are very very compelling. It needs some more psychological elements. You could play with the prisoner pleading for his life, or that devil goat, why couldn't s/he be pressuring you to do it?

Cool idea though! Full marks for theme and mood

there's no substance here at all. i feel like most of the dev time was spent making the models.

Good atmosphere, but I kinda expected a succession of different... erm... 'clients'? Ended a bit abruptly!

Does wanting more make me the villain? :)

nice graphics but a bit short :)

thanks for the comments about the graphics and mood, you guys are right about the rest, I just did not have enough time (birthdays...) to make a real game~ and I was already too tired to push my body further... so that was around 24 hours during which the dev time was spent on the models... at least I did that okay! =)
I really like the idea of a GoatMan pressuring you to kill him! I could also add some torture interactions... and maybe classic horror stuff like visions ghosts or else... I'll see about that later, thanks for the review and comments by the way! =)

Short but I do like the ambient.
Good work!

WOAH! GRAPHICS!

Very good modeling. Very moody too! While playing I kept thinking about where this could go without the 48h time limit... maybe more objects to interact, so that the player can find out how things got to this point. And maybe an option for the villain to shoot himself?

Cool and scary!
Nice graphics and sound but a little short :)
SamoojaMies23 Dec 2012, 11:27
Has great mood, graphics and nailed the theme. Just too short. Good job anyways!

Beautiful graphics and animations, and great mood. I gave your game bad ratings in Fun and Humor, but I guess you don't expect too much in these categories ;)

good idea for a "that small" game, replayed it several times to see if there's no other endings x)

Not much gameplay here, but from a ambiance and mood standpoint, this kicks butt. As a staging of an ethical dilemma, it's interesting. I only wonder what happens if you do not shoot. I waited around for a short time, but nothing happened, which was boring. Is there an alternate ending for a no-shoot player?
Bullseye884124 Dec 2012, 00:46
Hmm. I would have like to have seen more done with the idea. Great work on the visuals. Thumbs up!
Mesene26 Dec 2012, 22:30
Nice assets, if man were begging for his life or some random inner thoughs mood will increase a lot :)
brantkings27 Dec 2012, 22:36
The graphics and mood are nice. But it left me wanting something more for sure.

A little to short :) Nice mood though.
