Not a bad game, good work :)
Scariest experience ever - nothing is more terrifying than "WE CARE :)"
My Let's Play/gameplay and criticisms/feedback all provided within. Good potential and for a week there's good work put into this, bit rough around the edges and gets repetitive, was hoping to get to an ending but felt like it'd maybe go on forever lol
Hey! Appreciate the video. Thank you for spending the time to play through things! Left a comment on YouTube :)
Got to Day 10 then died to a Wall-thing cause I didn't know how to repel it and it kept lunging at me while cleaning, I tried to just not look at it, but I'll assume I'm meant to spray it or something. Oh well. Bugs I found that need fixing, if you carry a corpse and get water/chemicals, the body you're carrying vanishes (and you get penalized for not disposing it properly). In one scenario where the room fills with meat or goop - I got lifted by the goop and lifted me up beyond the ceiling and onto the Rooftop of the complex and got stuck and had to Alt-F4. Video will be arriving soon.
Nice! I think that's the farthest I've seen anyone get so far. Thanks for reporting the bugs; I've fixed the first one and I'll work on the second. Hope you enjoyed the game :)
Is there chance to play it fullscreen...My O.S. is Windows.
Yes! Press F11.
