No-End-To is our first attempt at a simple first-person horror game where the players goal is to get out of an escape room-like scenario, but the catch is that with each escape the room slightly changes and the player is forced to repeat the cycle.
Honestly, feel free to go ham on us, criticism is much appreciated. This was challenging yet a heck of a lot of fun. From this point on, we hope to participate in more Game jams in the future, and, hopefully, keep improving our game development skills.
This project was supposed to be significantly bigger, with additional features such as:
-The ability to pick up and carry objects (Amnesia style)
-Live room/texture morph akin to Silent Hill series;
-Timed rooms with special outcomes if the player would fail to escape within a certain time;
We did mostly everything from scratch, so it is natural that these things would be cut, considering our limited experience and 72 hour deadline. Lessons learned.
Very good idea. I would love to play a complete game about your idea. Graphics are good, and so is the sound. Congratulations. ps: My game remembers how little you have in relation to the atmosphere of terror, but mine is in 2D haha
Nice short little experience. I think it fits really nicely with the theme. was a bit short though think I finished in withing 1.5 minutes. Still good entry
Nice concept ! There is a lack of visual feedback (highlight the key, text "left clic to grab key", is the key in "inventory", ...). Also, mouse movements were wierd and too fast.
I get it now, I see there is no end to it. Man I felt the tension rising. Really cool stuff with the atmospheric sounds environment.
I did notice the camera's near clipping plane is set too far out, so when I get close to a wall I can see through it. Unity lets you set this on the camera component, which prevents this.
@bredera Thank you, we initially wanted to make it much longer like, 5-7 loops with different things and events to do/experience, but the time constraints made us cut some corners;D
@tenshi42 Yeah, our lack of experience in UI/UX were the result of that, although, the mouse does highlight when hover over an interactive object such as a key or the drawers:) Thank you, expect great things from us ^^
@tinykidtoo Glad you caught on the name;D Recording the sounds was a loooot of fun, although I recorded all of it with my phones mic:D still a bit of audio editing made it work. We're aware of the camera issue now, but didn't notice it on the original release. A small oversight so to say. Thanks for the feedback and suggesting a fix!
I'd say there is potential, but you know, 3 loops is not quiet enough to realize it, it's a LD game, I get it, but still. You used sounds, that's nice, it's essential for horror. You could still do more with the time constraints, just adding text, sound and really basic pixely textures. Like for example a face looking at you from the window, then you try going out through the window but still come back, then you start starving, have to go shit in the bucket, explore the implications of being stuck in a room for days on end... Anyways, congrats on your entry!

Can I actually win or loose the game?

It's a nice starting point anyway, keep going =)
