Description

We are accustomed to thinking that summoning is something performed on different kinds of demons, familiars, magical creatures, etc. But what if this time it's a human who is summoned? A regular office clerk thrown into a bizarre scenario where he will uncover truths about this world... Or not. But there will definitely be some summoning involved... Right? We summon you to try and get to the bottom of it! }:->

Gameplay

Progress through the game by interacting with people and objects.
Take a gun and defend yourself when situation requires.
Become a summoner, I guess?

Controls

WASD - move.
E - interact.
Space - jump.
Left Shift - sprint.
LMB - shoot.
RMB - aim.

Author's Commentary

Our first try at 3D. The game is unpolished, but we had a ton of fun making it. We doubt that we'll return to this game after the jam, but it was a great experience anyway! If it's not much trouble please try it out and let us know what you think :)

It looks like there's an issue with how you're serving the web build - I'm getting an error and extremely slow (or stalled) load times

This was so fun and it made me laugh the entire time! I definitely found some of the mechanics a little rigid and the manager was T posing the entire time, though it totally fit the vibe of the game. The dialogue was also so funny! Would play again haha

@koolruz Fixed now, feel free to try the game out if you didn't because of the warning ^_^

@tinker1175 Thank you very much for such a positive feedback! We're really happy to know that you've liked the humour and the overall vibe! Glad you enjoyed the game!

@pusheeneiro Glad you liked the graphics :) Although we didn't make them ourselves, we just tried to make them not clash with each other ^_^' Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Fun game, it's a pity that it lags significantly even on my powerful computer. In any case, it was very fun to play. Great job!
pwrs16 Apr 2024, 13:27
great title, and on-point humor. the idea of the player being summoned for tasking, very cool!

Ah yes, classic corporate horror. It was fun to play! :)

It seems a really funny game to be honest. There are some glitchy things, like moving and shooting sometimes it does not follow the cursor. All in all I enjoyed the game, it is a nice theme and I would play it again!

the game is funny, didn't expect the wacky humour but it was very enjoyable

A good fun game with an emphasis on humor and absurdism. Just what LD needs!

@greenradiation Sorry to hear that :( We tested on a slow machine and it seemed to work fine, although all other apps were closed. Anyway, glad to hear that you still enjoyed it!

@pwrs Haha, yeah, don't know why we decided on that title, just sounded cool :D Thank you for the feedback!

@pigeonic Yep, that's what the game is about x) Thank you for playing!

@krebzor Happy to hear that ^_^ Yes, shooter mechanics are a bit wanky, we tried to fix it but didn't have enough time. Thanks for dropping in and playing!

@rokadoka ahaha, yes, we like silly jokes I guess ^_^' Glad you enjoyed it!

@the4thcircle Sorry to hear that, yes, as Roman said the game is 400 MB that's why we are hosting it on a dedicated webserver instead of publishing here or on itch.io. If you feel like it please try loading it again later!

@wetbox Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the absurdist humour :)

Впечатлил сюжетный поворот с дьяволом, играла без мыши, прошла через пару стен, в целом все понравилось!
OrangeDragon
OrangeDragon16 Apr 2024, 18:02
@julia-nemo Ахах, спасибо!) Почему без мыши и, главное, как?!))
Блин, стены все вроде проверял)) Там есть пару объектов, у которых коллизия не сделана, но это вроде не стены)
Так или иначе спасибо за отзыв)

Witty and with good music for the settings. I have not made a 3D game before and appreciate the heart and tempo of the story.
LDJam user 37225616 Apr 2024, 20:41
wow, that was unexpected, but I enjoyed killing skeletons with machine guns!
Skyler Newsome16 Apr 2024, 21:35
Well ain't she a charmer!

Great job! That music was a jam!
Kirass16 Apr 2024, 23:09
You are really great! The game turned out great!
brunoklipel17 Apr 2024, 00:08
OK, I didn't expect it but I had a lot of fun LOL Great job.
kapitstick17 Apr 2024, 02:09
Good humor and mood. The music and sounds are great as well! Definitely challenging to keep the skeletons away; I got fired a bunch :)
Camden Obertop17 Apr 2024, 02:42
this game was really funny, had a blast trying to manage the skeletons and wife

The boss summoned me, and he did summon me...Interesting pun!

Nice game, though I didn't win. Had a bit of laugh too haha
Also I can't seem to restart. The boss's dialogue isn't reset when I restart the game

The game's pretty fun and I liked the dialogue, it was funny. I think the interpretation of the theme was interesting too!

Fun twist! And the bossfight is pretty hard!
c-13mu17 Apr 2024, 10:54
Impressing work ! full 3D game.

It's quite hard but the concept is easy to understand. I like the fact that the ambiant changes. I didn't see it coming x)
Smoky0117 Apr 2024, 11:03
The gameplay mechanics in this game are so intuitive! It's like the controls become an extension of your own instincts. Plus, the art style adds a unique flair that keeps you engaged throughout. Definitely a gem worth exploring!
TheKatMol17 Apr 2024, 15:38
Intersting game. I like the concept!
Tommes17 Apr 2024, 15:43
Love the story! :D
HsG_Gringo17 Apr 2024, 15:52
phew... on third try i finaly get this promotion! it mb not perfect and polished game, but it is truely fun:) GJ
Misoukun17 Apr 2024, 16:19
Seems yopur first attempt to FPS is successfull.
But the boss looks far to like my boss IRL... hum

It is fun and well made. What is worth than your boss? The boss's wife. Ok.

@brunoklipel @kapitstick @camden-obertop @thunderchief @radjax @bx007 @slickramen @kuggenhoffen @xoreaxeax @dogshroom @c-13mu @smoky01 @thekatmol @tommes @hsg-gringo @misoukun Thank you very much guys! We really appreciate all of your feedback and are so happy that you had fun!

@ahistyap Huh, that's really odd... We can't reproduce that :( Maybe it's some kind of browser incompatibility (i. e.: we recently found our that our game runs poorly in Safari). Thank you for reporting that, we'll try to get to the bottom of it! Really happy to hear that you still had fun! Btw, if you decide to try again there is a little trick - boss' wife teleports when you hit her, but if she's in her summoning animation (hovering and flashing with red VFX) she won't teleport and you can deal a lot of damage quickly

Infinite ammo is nice concept. Had fun with that. One thing i would change. It would be cool if after losing you could respawn on mrs boss level. More polishing and it could be a really nice game! Although its already great!
Baluj17 Apr 2024, 17:39
Nice song and it's a good game.
fabula_rasa17 Apr 2024, 18:19
The concept is unique and definitely amusing :grin:

Could definitely use some polish, especially in the performance department. My game lagged quite a bit and the camera worked quite slowly. Would be nice to have some fast edge panning, especially as it is a faster-paced shooter.

Humor is the strong suit of this game and the music is quite cool!

Há, Nice twist. Actually had a lot of fun, music is really cool btw. Still not promoted, will try again later!

The mood went to 100 really fast haha I did not expect that was second I was in an office and the next I'm fighting skeletons hordes with an enchanted ak47
Cool concept overall, great job!

The performance was terrible. The aiming mechanism was broken. And the story was terrible. I loved it!

Had some little fights with the controls, but really nice project. And awesome Soundtrack as the title suggested ;)
pringlae18 Apr 2024, 16:10
Крутая игра, держит в напряжении!
Нашла багу, когда приходит демон и начинает ругаться, можно убить его жену и тогда он тебя похвалит, не смотря на то, что ты по факту проиграл :)
Ну и понравилось то, что он в конце говорит, что призовет еще раз. Это объясняет повтор игры)

Saw it on stream and wanted to give it a go, it's very fun, I very much enjoyed the humor :D

Great job for your first try at 3D :D

Performance-wise, WebGL build was maybe a bit ambitious xD but the important parts didn't lag for me so I didn't mind :)

Very cool game! Even if some things could have been done better, still great work for your firest 3D game, and the concept is funny xD. Thanks for submitting your game on stream, here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2124124721
Pepe20 Apr 2024, 14:54
I liked it! However, I think the readability is bad because of the glowing portal (which draws a lot of attention) but the skeletons are comparatively much less visible. One way would be to have the glow area not be so tall.

The dialogue is funny! The performance is not too good but probably Unity's fault.

Music is the highlight here!

@gabriel-bissonnette @paulhocker @rubikon @sver @themoonrise @usenrame @d0vid @mateusboga @pepe Thank you for your comments and suggestions everyone! And especially for taking the time to play our game! Your constructive critisisms and positive feedback melt my heart ^_^

@pringlae Блин, действительно есть такое) Амбивалентная победа) Недоглядели маленько) Спасибо за репорт! И очень рад, что понравилась игра ^_^

@krakadushka Sorry to hear that :( We didn't encounter lags during playtesting, so we decided that it's ok to just leave a WebGL build. Next time will take this into account and provide other builds as well. Thank you for taking your time to report this!
Eric Nguyen22 Apr 2024, 02:01
The music was pretty great. And the dialogue + writing was very funny. Took me a while to figure out that I needed to shoot the real boss instead of just skeletons haha. Movement and shooting felt pretty good, and it was fun to balance shooting at the skeletons vs. the real boss. It didn't seem like there was a point in aim down sights though, it felt perfectly accurate without it. Great submission though! Good work!

Interesting and funny little story. For your first time in 3D this is a pretty solid entry! Keep on making games :smile:
sabasa2 May 2024, 13:22
Fun game! The skeletons seem to be a little inconsistent, like sometime they die instantly and some other times they take a lot of shots. The witch lady camouflages with the environment which made it kinda annoying to try to find her while dealing with the skeletons. Other than that I really enjoyed it, fun and challeging. Also I really liked the humor and backstory, congratz
