Look around : Mouse Move : WASD keys Jump : Space bar
* Updates *
- Lots of bug fixes since the first release. - Made some adjustments on level design (changing triggers delay here and there) - Added a crosshair for users comfort as suggested by No-Named-Guy. - Linux & MacOSX versions are no longer available as we don't have the hardware for testing. Apologize to our friends running on both those OS. - We won't add any audio to the game even if the game would benefit from it. We consider sound as a main feature and it would be cheating to add it after game jam end considering we didn't have the time to compose & implement it. We'll eventualy make a 2.0 version of the game after judging period.
* Game Intention *
10s to Leave is game which illustrates a Jesse Schell thesis about mental processes video game applied on player's unconscious, in order to maintain him in the a ludic-state. That's quite vague, I agree. ..
In this game you can rush forward through the stages until the end of the game, but if you want to get victorious you'll have to understand the theories and principles which the different workshops are the application of. Only this approach (or a lot of luck) would help you during the last challenge, when you'll have to go against the game by linking your actions to the theme of this Ludum Dare #27 : "10 seconds".

Really cool project. I love the simple art style. For anyone that tries it out: don't give up if you have trouble at the beginning. You might be surprised what you find if you keep going. :)
Got to the "platforming" party where you can fall into a pit. I guess it's interesting, but it mostly just came off as kind of annoying to me really. Bananas ftw though. :3
@Neo-Blue : Thank you ! @Panurge : indeed... if only we had more time... :'( @ErwanOfil : Thank you ! @Toshiro : Thank you ! Portal is indeed one of our inspiration @DaGamesta : I can understand that ;) @SneManden : Jump harder ! No really... just try to jump to the next stairstep... maybe something will happen if you keep jumping... eventualy... @Chtulhu : thanks alot, nice nickname btw
guess this is a game i may come back to and play again just to try to understand and to achieve "victory". the gameplay is a little bit distracting with this in mind though, but it's also really interesting. very abstract, great visuals and i also like the introduction.
@Withoutpillow : Thanks alot. Appreciate that people don't just rush the game & try to see what's behind :) I can say there is two way to finish each level ;)
Intriguing gameplay. I think there should be a button or something to cancel the endless fade-out of text... Speaking of text, the way you use it in a 3d environment is just awesome. Best level imo - the flashing platforms =)
I really liked the text choices and the hints/thought provoking comments on the walls. This game would definitely benefit with some ambient sounds and music. Very atmospheric, well done!
Thanks a lot for the comment on Lost in the Darkness! So, if it was easy, I suppose you rescued your friends? Then again, judging by your entry, I guess you are familiar with not being explained everything, haha. Higher difficulty with what I currently had wasn't really possible, and I had ideas for new enemies but just ran out of time. That'll be in the post-compo version! What do you mean by "[...] music) would benefit the game" though - it does have music, doesn't it?
---------------------------
You have a really interesting game, and while I'm not sure I entirely understand it, it seems I still came to THE end. And I like what you did there with the soft cage lesson. Going against the games rules was enjoyable (although I never knew exactly when there won't be more reactions), and the portal/antichamber atmosphere works well.
One thing really annoyed me though: First person jumping puzzles without a body? Really? And I have to start it again if I die? Argh. That was especially frustrating with the flashing platforms.
And every level has two ways to solve it? Really? Huh.
Confusing, interesting and a bit informative - I like it. Great entry, and congratulations on finishing your first LD game!
PS: I think the game would work well on the Rift. Try to get one! (Sadly you're not likely to be near Berlin, Germany...)
PPS: Have you played "The Stanley Parable"? I think you'd enjoy it. It's a Half Life 2 mod - if you don't own HL2, at least watch a Let's Play on YouTube.

Controls were weird (Linux) - not WASD movement.
And escape did not go to the menu.
However, an interesting project.
