Incredible art, atmosphere and audio. Super sick how much world you build with so little!

Love the atmosphere and mood building! The art style is unique and gives a gloomy feel. It kind of reminds me of the sections where you escape the prison in "A Way Out".

The atmosphere is awesome! It really made me tense up. I also liked the open ending.

This definitely feels like a game where you were really focused on one thing, mood. And it really served this game well. The lighting, texturing, sound, all of it conspired to give this a truly creepy, dingy mood. Fantastic work. Just one thing, the web version is incredibly laggy. Just thought you should know and anyone else reading this, download it if you can for performance.

Spectacular! What a mood and atmosphere, the guard keeps me tense all the time and having to be in bed so he doesn't catch me. Great entry!

Cool game!
Also: I'm currently holding WORLD RECORD on speedrunning it! xDDDDDD
Strat with spoon is too easy, prolly requires nerf

Ok game, longer game would be better but good being down in a couple of days!

Yo absolutely amazing atmosphere and graphics. Only issue I had was I fell through the world trying to get through the wall haha but overall really cool!

I get this error in Firefox's javascript console. The game gets stuck on the "You regain consciousness" screen ... :-/

This was great, really atmospheric, though it did take a very long time to break the wall :smile: Great moody graphics and audio, nice short game.

Great atmosphere indeed! Would have liked to see more of it, but perhaps a tiny post jam update~

I really like the graphics and atmosphere of this game. When I break the wall with spoon, watching on time, hiding an evidence and quickly going to bed, I remembered the resident evil 7 when Clancy needs to escape. Good job!

Wow I really loved this game! One of the few LD games I have played that absolutely NAILED the vibe in every way. The audio, the assets, the game mechanics all fed into this thick sludge of an atmosphere and it sucked me in! So cool. If you don't mind sharing, how the hell did you do that cool particle effect in the cell? I use godot as well and it would be so useful to know roughly how that was set up. If not no worries, thanks for making a really cool game!

@shaner421 that's high praise, thank you very much! As for the particles, it's just a simple GPUParticles3D node that I modified with only a few settings like so:

The actual particle that is being rendered is just a very low resolution sphere. You might have to tweak some things depending on the lighting and scale of your scene. I hope this helps!

When going to bed I was always like: "Nothing to see here, just chillin' with my trusty spoon" :)
Super atmospheric game with haunting visuals and audio, really enjoyed it!

Really great atmosphere, love all the assets, and the sounds (including the music) all come together really nicely. Definitely gave myself RSI though ahaha. Good job!!
