The style and music added alot to the mood. It sometimes felt a little random when you got caught and when you didn't though.

It's nice to have a stealth game that's not all about Spying Stealthy Action, and the art was really clean and easy to interpret. I was a little bit sad that my loot wasn't represented in the kitchen underworld, since it would have added to my satisfaction as I squirreled it all off.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That said, it was kind of prohibitively difficult, even though I played probably ten times. Once the cook literally spotted me stealing an apple through the back of her head. It's hard to figure out just where she can see, and even harder to steal items within a short time frame before the cook can use them when I need to be sure I'm hanging out on the tallest cupboard until the right moment (you might want to expand those time frames just a little bit). Some sort of ability to peer through the holes, or more feedback on how far away she is, would be really helpful in terms of navigation. If you want to make it be more ratlike, you could do increasing and decreasing sounds of footsteps to help determine distance.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also think that theming it in terms of psychological depth is a little bit misguided. It's a fun game about a rat stealing stuff, as far as I'm able to tell thus far (does she freak out that her ingredients are disappearing at random? I never got to a part of the game where I could see that).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, good job. The idea's fresh and I had a pretty good time!"},{"author_name":"mechabit","author_uid":"34391","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 10:54am","epoch":1399027740,"text":"Nice art style, game is a bit fiddly to play, good use of the theme, I like how you play a rat."},{"author_name":"Fox_in_sox","author_uid":"36959","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 1:53pm","epoch":1399038480,"text":"VictoryGarden: The psychological depth is uncovered after you finish the game.

Love the art style; it looks great. Very tense game. Trying to get everything you need without getting spotted is hard.

Our team of four people created a \"stealth\" game with a rat in the main role. And it's your job to keep her alive.\r\n\r\nYou need to survive and to find food, and that means a lot of hiding and running. You list contains different items and you need to steal all of them without being seen. That's right, one look and you are done for good.\r\n\r\nBut maybe things aren't what they seem. Take a look at it from a different perspective:\r\n\r\nOne kitchen, without windows, without doors. There is no escape route for busy cook. Instead of it she gets terror in the form of rat holes on walls and the floor.\r\n\r\nA rat is hiding beneath the floor. Its life consists of hunger and darkness. Its mind doesn't contain anything else than list of items needed to survive. \r\n\r\nSo maybe there is more even beneath a human mind.\r\n\r\nFurther info:\r\n- Sorry for any bugs. We will maybe try to fix the minor inconveniences, but we hope you will enjoy this game nevertheless.\r\n- The game is made in Unity.\r\n\r\nCredits go to:\r\nGame design: Emil Gasparec\r\nProgramming: Pavel Fadrhonc, Richard Sebedovsky\r\nArt\/animation: Jana Kilianova (me)\r\n\r\nUsed textures from:\r\nlostandtaken.com\r\nwww.texturemate.com\r\nwww.redbaron85.com","title":"Losing it"}
