The Caesarian shift made me feel so smart, because by a friendly turn of fate I already knew what it was. And also WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE FLIES LIKE WHAT HAPPENS ONCE THEY"RE OUT?????
at the cam2 puzzle i thought it was supposed to put "there will be light" lol
may have jumped a wee bit after the light puzzle lmao
Very well made! I love the use of real websites and strange ciphers!
Guy in room 2 caught me off guard a bit lol!
I just wish it was a little longer!
cool!!! but nothing happened at the end, they got out and that was all and i didnt even see anything just got a message that says they got out, this normal? otherwise this was very cool!!
this game... IS SO COOL
Holy shit. I just finished the light puzzle and went to the second room. Boy, oh, boy, was I not expecting that.
I finished the game it was amazing!
jumpscare fr fr
I love games like these!
However, i do feel like the story is a little bit confusing or even nonsensical. I would love to know if there's a meaning behind the flies in the jar!
Keep up the good work! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ 6/10
JESUS CHRIST this was horrifying 10/10
This is fab thanks
i love this game <3
I LOVE GAMES LIKE THESE OMG AMAZING GAME MAN!!!! <3 <3
why the fuck is english the only version behind a paywal
Feel free to play in the browser!
ok but why put the english version on itch io specifically behind a paywall
Because someone did the Spanish translation out of the kindness of their hearts and this game was part of a bundle where you could buy all the games I made that year to support me.
It is the exact same version as the browser game it was just a donation perk.

Hey jet is there gonna be a sequal or an update or is this just it
It is just this for now. I am considering making a sequel though if people are interested. Maybe put it on steam.
YES PLEASE
PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED!!!!! also what coding language did you use for this bad bitch?
This game was developed in Unity with C#
i'found an easter egg when i'write "911" in the phone
yay I’m happy you found that
OMG ME TOO
Short but very good
this is soo damn good
ALICE IN CHAINS??
JAR OF FLIES
Don't know what the Genesis 1:3 means. Game Dev, can you give me a hint?
"Genesis 1:3 is the third verse of the first chapter in the Book of Genesis. In it God made light by declaration: God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. It is a part of the Torah portion known as Bereshit. "Let there be light" has entered into common usage as a phrase."
I love the fact, the answer was just seasme.
why is there only a spanish
translation version for the download???me gusta!
👍
i love you
ty
OH MY GOD YOU REPLIED HI WOW
I didn't understand how to play it... So i kinda just watched the flies and read the emails. Didn't get what the light control's password was so i was like... " Yeah... watch the flies man. " Anyway, cool game, i guess? I just didn't figured out what i was supposed to do.
agreeeed
is boring all i do to watch the flies
nah u actually do stuff in it but they first part is not very obvious to guess so u need to use a decoder thing
really cool arg elements and really cool aesthetic and vibe (the png characters)
What do you do after you see the email about the hostage
2007: I love you
He knows what he does
911 what's your emergency?
It was a great experience!
i really didnt want to go down that damn hallway. ;-; (good game tho i enjoyed it)
GOOD GAM
8 out of ten smeely rooom flies
When I looked in room 2 after turning on the lights gave me a mini heart attack! I didn't expect him to just be standing there making noise! It was a good game tho ngl. But still.... mini heart attacks XD
I AM SO COUNFUSED
oh nvm
Hey! I forgot to mention, your game was yesterday's Daily OOM! (Daily Strange Thing 👍).

Oh thank you, very cool
hey just so you know you can noclip the camera and see into the void in cam-02 if you just turn right
Cool easter egg.
i dont understand what to do
EDIT:nvm
This was...interesting.
Are you supposed to release the flies?
I kind of don't want to because it's my job to make sure they don't get free.
I also just figured out if you stand sideways next to the desk and hit 3 you become invisible. I AM PAPER MAN!
Secret ending unlocked!
I liked this game. I think it has a lot of potential for a full, or at least expanded, release. The ARG elements specifically are something I have been wanting to implement or see implemented in a game for a long time, and the hints were well implemented, if not a bit obvious.
