Quite an eerie atmosphere, would had loved to see more progress on it!

very scare!! im a huge wimp so i didnt get very far, but it looks really cool and im impressed how much you got done in such a short amount of time! im not sure how well it fit the theme but i probably just didnt get far enough to see the connection (or the ducky! i hope its not a scary monster duck aaaa). the controls were good once i figured them out but it took me a second, might have been helpful to have a little guide in the beginning c:

i can see vinny liking this one so i hope it gets featured on stream so i can see the rest of it LOL

Very cool horror game! 
I might be that guy who dies first in a horror movie, but I left every gate open when patrolling the cells lol.
I digress, it really nails the scary game atmosphere in terms of pacing, visuals, and sound! I also enjoyed the TV shows/commercials you added. 
Great work!

Solid, short horror experience with some well-executed moments. Loved the TV quips.  Even knowing about the flashlight, it was very tough to see anything when the lights got cut, but I still enjoyed the tension of that moment.  So sad that my guy never got his $300 ducky rail gun

Really great atmosphere! I liked how the game was at times humorous and at times scary. The dark section in the second half was a bit too dark, but I feel that the layout of the map was simple enough that I got the gist of what to look for while trying to escape, and obviously the lack of vision and control made that section all the more tense. Very solid horror game with a unique take on the theme. Well done!

Pretty neat horror experience, but Jesus Christ that final moment with the darkness was annoying, I couldn't see anything at all, at least give me a flashlight or an option to increase brightness

Thanks! There is a flashlight under V, but it's only mentioned in the description. We will make it part of a quest to use it in the next version for a better user experience :D

pretty solid in the control department. too bad I am impervious to jumpscares... horizontal meat is my favorite show

This had an excellent atmosphere and a great sense of humor, I laughed aloud at the speening salami quips.  I was honestly really creeped out for most of the game, very spoopy and had me looking at the doors to make sure I closed them.

My only issue (and maybe it's a GG thing), I couldn't for the life of me see anything when the lights turned off and I got VERY frustrated feeling around for the doors, it was pitch black. 

Overall a fantastic game for such a small timeframe! You're great at horror games.

Very eerie. The sound design and graphics really create spooky atmosphere. Hope you continue adding to this!

Very spooky! I'm not a fan of horror as I get scared easily, so once the bad things started happening I stopped playing :-D However, I did like the salamis joke. 

Good work 👍

Everything seemed normal and routine to me...  fun game though...

Thanks! There was a lot we wanted to add, including a whole second act after the lights go out, but we quickly ran out of time near the jam submission so had to wrap it up quickly - we'd like to build on it though, lots to do post jam!

2 spooky. Great atmosphere + a good sense of humor to go with it!

Got me a few times with the scares and "Local is near me" made me laugh. Good job!
