About the game

We are a team of seven called Locktogown, who usually jam together 📦.

Game made in 72h, with Unreal Engine 5

We wanted to make a cozy but a little ominious game, and we think we achieved it !

Dev : Overlix, Noah Mazard, Spectral-Throw

Art : Thomas Dalmasso, Ninon Bourjon, Mareva Molteni, Ambre Fortin-Deleau

Sound Designer : MrUnion

Hope you’ll enjoy it, thanks in advance for playing!

⚠️ Note for players

- Time is frozen for the first 3 reels, allowing you to take as much time as you need to get comfortable with the game.

- Once the first 3 reels are in place, the boss calls you back, and you unlock the pocket watch that sets time in motion.

- The time shown on the schedule indicates the start of the screening; you must therefore place the reel onto the projector before that time.

Tbh it was a little hard for me to understand what to do. There is a lot of information and it was somewhat misleading. Also didn't find the watch... maybe it was a bug, pressed all the buttons and walked around every room 2-3 times. Graphics are good, though pixelated shader is hard for my eyes sometimes.

The game crashes within the first few minutes, but it looks cool in the screenshots.

An old cinema where changing the film reels might be a matter of life and death is a great setup! I love the little translucent ghosts and the film-strip title treatment. The projectionist job gives the old technology a really natural place in the premise.

It's a pretty funny game, it's a bit confusing. I though that the time on the paper was the time that I needed to insert the new tape, but it isn't, maybe that could've been communicated a little better. But overall, it is a pretty cool game!

the vibe is great, old cinema + ghosts + film reels is such a good fit for the theme, and the projection booth looks amazing. but yeah i also got lost on the timing, i thought the time on the paper was when i had to swap the reel and kept dying because of it. also had the game crap out on me once in the first few minutes. still, when it works it's really cool, just needs the rules to be a bit clearer

Thank you for the comments, yeah it seems we did not explain well how the time works. 😅 The watch is unlocked after you put the 3 first reels in the correct place. Then, you want to switch the new reels in the 30 minutes windows before the projection of the next movie. I hope this comment help any future player. We will try to add a second build on itch with better tutorial when we have time to do so.

The idea of working as a projectionist in a spooky, abandoned cinema is really compelling! Very cool:)

great vibes and atmosphere encountered a few crashes but is well done for 3 days

This is a great entry. I really enjoyed that. A jam game with graphics settings. Great atmosphere and good gameplay. Reading the pocket watch was a bit difficult.

An old cinema projectionist job with ghosts is a great fit for the theme, and the film reel setup looks really cool. Sounds like the timing rules could use a clearer explanation and the crashes need a fix, but the atmosphere is clearly there. Nice work!
