You don’t remember who you are. You don’t remember how you got here. Fighting your way through a blinding white storm, you found shelter.

You can interact with objects by pressing the “E” key.
The terminal accepts keyboard input. Restart isn’t implemented yet, unfortunately.

Phew, this is my first successful compo. I hope you enjoy playing it. Most of the art consists of AI-generated placeholders. I plan to refine them over time, but for now, this is how it is. Enjoy!

Short but atmospheric game. Congrats with first successful compo!

Very cool and moody - loved the total lack of tutorializing. I went from having no idea, messing around, having a thought as I experimented, and then managing to figure it out and reach the end of the story.

Nice job!

A nice, atmospheric little game! The key layout on the terminal seemed a bit odd (not three keys per row). I really liked the sound design! Great work!

Nice game
I liked artstyle and listening mechanic
Though, a bit more gameplay would be nice, really cool anyway
Good job

@igor-korobeinikov The idea also included a mechanic where you’d have to periodically restart an electric generator, as well as gather firewood to avoid freezing. But unfortunately, implementing that within the compo format would have been unrealistic.

I lost one number somewhere. Bad ending is real cinema. Congrats on your first compo.

Little, but so atmospheric. Good job

I finished the game quickly, it was very atmospheric. It was a bit awkward to turn the levers and the number layout on the computer was strange, but I liked the graphics and the overall aesthetic of the game.

The controls on the UI were a bit dodgy, nice job generating the game! :)

It's a pretty simple idea, and the game looks good. But unfortunately, because of the excessive noise and the fact that English isn't my native language, I couldn't understand the code.
GideonGriebenow20 Apr 2026, 19:44
I made it. Nice idea to have the three parameters of the signal to be set :)
Congrats on your first COMPO. This was my first Game Jam ever!

@mekuire I was thinking about adding a few languages, but then it would be hard to fit into the deadline. I'll probably add them later. After all, almost all countries have numbers stations.

A small but atmospheric game — nice to see you in the compo!

Great fit for the theme, wasn't expecting this, very good mood

Really cool use of the theme. Once the solution clicked it was fun trying to beat the clock.

The dials a bit weird, nice idea though!

Congrats on your first compo! The mood is awesome! Audio fits the mood so well, the same with graphics. Looks like a beginning of a great game.

I'm not sure about AI generated art, though. It may fall into Jam category or at least there should be disabled Graphics rating. Graphics was great but now I don't know what part of it should I rate and what part is generated :( Player placeholder is OK, the rest was drawn or generated? For now, I'll keep graphics category unrated. Anyway, kudos you mentioned it, that's fair.

quite atmospheric and the audio is nice, it's a bit short though.

@jiri-hysek All generated images were manually refined and brought into a consistent style. I also plan to continue improving them to achieve a cohesive look that doesn’t feel like placeholders. I’ll leave the final rating up to you—after all, this is just a jam, not a million-dollar competition.

@nikiroz ok, thanks, sure it's for fun after all and your game has great mood and looks awesome. To be honest, I'm not sure what's the best approach for AI generated content for Compo. Rules doesn't mention it. So I understand it that you made a derivative art from generated content, which is OK by the rules. So I will rate accordingly :) Because you did great job in making it look cohesive and well fitting to the overal mood. Good job and thanks for clarification!

I really like the atmosphere in the game. Backgrounds, animations, sound, everything is done very well!
Special thanks for the game where you need to adjust the wave in the oscilloscope. This refers me back to the days when I studied at the university :')

I like the atmosphere! Animation is also pretty sweet!

That's a cool idea. The game is too short! I liked the idea of catching the signal)

Really deep, almost visceral mood to the scene. And here's a fun thing — the game actually made me grab a pencil and a piece of paper from my desk.

Really atmospheric! Unfortunatelly, I've played several times and each time couldn't hear the numbers well. But still, idea of this hearing mechanic is nice and bad ending is absolute cinema :thumbsup:

An atmospheric game. Perhaps it was worth adding the ability to turn the radio settings with buttons. It was inconvenient to do this with a mouse
MaruMari22 Apr 2026, 17:21
Cold winter atmospheric game. I like the setting

Turning the knobs was a bit challenging, but other than that it was cool to play through this game! Definitely a great atmospheric mood, well done!
anku23 Apr 2026, 20:13
Excellent visuals with ambient sound that complements them really well. I’m a big fan of snowy settings, and this game is definitely worth checking out.

Круто, за звуки из сигналиса отдельный лайк.

@shram спасибо, а они там есть оказывается 🤣 видимо мы одними и теме же ассетами звука воспользовались

great art

The dude is animated quite nicely!

Short and sweet. I was hearing the code wrong at first but i did it on the second try.
