Good job on the global mood, I peed my pants for 5 minutes. But nothing seemed to happen? Is there a monster somewhere is it just an athmospheric experience?
Great sound and post processing, really sells the horror!

@rhum Thanks! It started as a horror/survival game pitch... jams are always too short...At least We got left with
a contemplative experience and a better game engine. Glad that you liked the mood!

cool experience, good job on the mood. Would love to see more gameplay mechanics set in this atmosphere

Building an engine yourself is already difficult if you have enough time, so developing the engine over several jams is definitely a real achievement. There's not much gameplay, unfortunately, but the atmosphere really caught me.

@wolkp, @vasilypupkin, @mazeraser, Thanks for your kind comments! We like this gloomy, tense atmosphere too. We will definitely push to have mechanics next jam (I swear ^^)

I really like the dark ambiance ! and for the performance of done it in C

@thierry, Thx a lot! Those jams are so educative and yet so short... We feel we have got something going with this atmosphere and engine... Time to step up our game mechanics.

Having your own engine is impressive! When I looked at the source code, then yeah, that's a proper, real programming. :) Although there is not much gameplay, the atmosphere is great and tense, so great job there. Really anxiety inducing. Looking forward your next games!
