This interactive experience is based on some of my other games and my friends’ games. Also, Lovecraft books and True Detective series inspired. Just notice: there aren't puzzles or challenge. This is more like "experience" thing.

I used assets of Open World Demo Collection by Epic Games and some free 3d-models. Characters models were made in Mixamo Fuse. Also, I used some public domain licensed sounds of freesound.org.

purty strange and fatalistic! great environment and scene. i like that one guy who does that weird movement with his mouth open. was there supposed to be anything on the second floor?

@special-bonus Thanks! In the beginning, I wanted to make several variants for coming to the final. The second floor was prepared for one of them, but I did not have time to finish it.

When I see amazing games like these, I start to think about learning how to make 3d games :p

WTF...ok, I have no idea, what this is about, but its awesome. Is making the sacrifice really the end, or did I miss something? Also after stabbing, I can see the mesh-view of my arm, but I believe it is rotated in the wrong direction. I stood on the far side of the table and my arm and the knife were rotated as if I stood between table and door (knife pointing away from sacrifice).

Alright, if I may be honest right of the bat without playing the game. The folder we have to download is 418MB, it's very large for a gamejam project and I don't doubt many people will just pass on to another game rather to download it which is sad. You should be careful about this for the next time and try to make minimal side asset requirement projects in order to reduce this file size.

A great nice game. I liked the graphics.

A bit strange, but I liked the experience nonetheless!

The idea is good, and the atmosphere is super interesting. I would have liked a bit more to do in the game. But overall a fine LD game.

Woah!! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/QGU5NZBTfXo

It was intense and intriguing and disturbing. Well done I wish I could play more game like this :)

I keep wondering why the guy on the left is not moving at all and is the only one human being similar to the furniture after the act has happened. Would you be willing to give us some insights?

its weird, creepy in a kinda unique way and kinda disturbing too, love this entry!

Kultisti7 Dec 2018, 14:10

I did not expect that... And I loved it! Good job!

@ursagames Thanks! Nice stream, I am satisfied with your reaction :slight_smile:

Very strange and profound game! In my opinion, it reveals the meaning of life and all things

fzillo8 Dec 2018, 10:39

This game is very creepy... I like it! ;)

Graphics were quite nice and the sounds were atmospheric. But to be honest, I really didn't feel like I was playing a game. It felt more like a scene or maybe a painting in form of a game.
