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
same 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
that's the first thing i did cuz I had no idea what to do
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.
as a muslim i feel weird that i solved that puzzle without having to look it up
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
