I loved your game! It could easily become a movie and I wouLd watch it! I felt so bad for Sarah and idk about Edgar. Was he a cop or something? Either way I loved it. The end game was CRAZY.
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! Edgar is a mysterious character, and while Sarah and Richard are clearly good and evil, he falls in the middle ground. He tends to be good, but having already won the show, he knows the rules and doesn't hesitate to coldly eliminate his opponents.
Well, that was truly something. To be made only in 14 days and have so many mechanics, immersion and replayability really shows your skill when it comes to a quick-fire indie horror.
I particularly liked the whole aesthetic, with the gameshow aspect - reminds me of the upcoming horror film 'Late Night With The Devil.' The mini-games were a welcome touch, as was the palpable sense of unease as each round began. I thought I was a goner after my 'moralistic' choice was made and Sarah wasn't my best friend anymore...
I didn't have much time to go through other scenarios, and having read some of the other comments I doubt I would have got all the endings! In any case, I definitely think there could be scope more more rounds, other contestants and endings. Loved the trivia section.
Best of luck with the gamejam - definitely a worthy contender!
Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the game and it was fun watching your gameplay. I'll definitely check out the movie you mentioned.
Pretty cool. An improvement would be to change the host's responses based on the succeeding rounds' answers picked, because it looks like he says the same thing each time for any answer to the "moral" questions.
It would be pretty good for immersion and replayability if that change were added.
Leaderboard is a nice touch. I wonder if it's possible to get a score higher than 50K and 39.
Thank you so much for the feedback, and good job on the score!
Yes, the game is a bit rough since I made it in less than 2 weeks for the game jam, and it still needs some polishing, especially in the dialogues as you suggested.
Definitely, after the voting phase, I'll update the game with various fixes. And who knows, in the future, I might even update it with more mini-games, participants, and other content.
Regarding the leaderboard, yes, at the moment, I think that's the max limit.
Thank you for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! You got the "Hollow Victory" ending because you won by following the rules of the game, without taking any aberrant actions. In the game, with some choices, you can force the death of other participants by manipulating or cheating.
They're different ways to win the game based on the number of contestants you cause the death of, through cheating, manipulation, and dialogue choices.
"Hollow Victory" is obtained without being directly responsible for the death of a contestant, "Murderer" when you are forcing the death of at least one contestant, and "Aberration" when you make the most aberrant choices in the game, and force the death of all contestants.
Really good game! just to let you know there's a bug, if you die and restart the game wont let you continue at a certain point after skipping dialogue. the person who posted the video below me has the bug at the end
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, it seems like this bug is occurring frequently when starting a new run. Just closing and reopening the game should fix the issue.
I'll definitely work on improving the game's stability in future updates.
Wow this game was really good i didn't expect the game knows where country i live anyway really good looking game and sound really good well done keep it up!

COOL!!!
A Horror Video game that takes place on an In-universe Game Show;
What took so long for People to start making Horror games inspired by Game Shows[and I don't mean that Scary As Fudge 2000s NBC Show]
Thank you so much! Yes, I also think it's a great combination. Who knows, maybe this little concept could be expanded upon.
Loved both the trivia aspect and the actual tension from seeing the scoreboards going up during the games. Great work on making a gameshow unsettling!

Anybody know what the difference between the Hollow Victory, Murderer and Abberation endings are? I keep getting the middle one.

I love the game, but i somehow just keep getting the death ending.
Thanks a lot! Keep trying, you can make it!
What part are you struggling on? Because I know a skip...
Great Horror Game. I got three out of four endings. One of them is Abberation
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it
This game was really good! Keep up the good work
Thank you so much!
