Dr. Noir by UnidayStudio

Welcome to the Dr. Noir's hurry to survive!
Imagine that you're a doctor living in a steampunk apocalyptic world and a virus starts to spread across the planet.
*And to make things even worse... *
you got infected as well!
Now you have a limited amount of time to find the right ingredients, make the cure and run into a bunker to survive the end of the world. Well, good luck.

How to Play?
You're infected! Your objective it to keep yourself alive and make the blue antidote to enter in the bunker.
Use WASD to walk. Find the capsules, grab them using E and drop on the corresponding antidote machine colors until you get the blue one.
Once you have the blue antidote, drop it in front of the bunker to enter and survive!
And remember: In the game, you'll have a new virus side effect every clock cycle that may affect your abbilities to survive!

Is up to you! :)

The buttons sound in the menu were a little bit annoying, but ingame soundtrack is nice.
The gameplay is a little short, but nice so far. I would like to see this game with some gameplay :)
I made a gameplay video:

Great job!
The tutorial is a good idear and the ambiance is nice.
I like the asset :) Good job.
But I found the side effect of the virus very hard. ^^
The first level, second side effect : move key rotatation = it's was all most impossible to win (for me I am not a true gamer... so...).
However, I like the game and I will train me to win ! :)
I really liked the colors mechanics and the side effects. Good job!
But still I redid the game to see all the different side effects, and I experience a bug I think: the character wasn't on the screen any more and I could move freely everywhere with colliding with anything.
I liked the idea of the side effects however I got like 6 walk slower in a row and that just meant no chance of winning for me, well viruses are ALWAYS unfair so that made sense.
Overall fun and interesting idea, could use some optimization and post processing.
The camera bothered me a little, but maybe it's just me being picky.
The graphics are great, and it is a very nice concept!!! Well done!
But I really enjoyed playing the game! Thumbs up, nicely done :)
If I enter a menu I did not find how to go back, so I pressed echap...
Lighting is really sharp on edges, it's maybe wanted but on my computer it seems way too much based on other screenshots.
I also got the tutorial crashing.
I managed to play finally, the idea is good, once you got the grey thing you're really f**** up, it's maybe too much to have that straight away. Thanks for the submission in any case :)
nevertheless really nice idea and nice annoying side effects haha
I think you should really continue to work on this, it's a very interesting concept!
If you do work on this, here's a little more feedback: the colourblind mode is a good idea, however, after some time it can get a little annoying. I would suggest either making it disappear after a while, or after a while it goes on and off, like the colourful view sometimes "flickers" through, because if you have no idea what is what you can just do a try and error and that can get really bothersome after a while, but if the colours sometimes flicker through real fast the player has to memorize it :) Or like maybe the player can press a button to reveal the colours, but the price for that is that your life energy drains faster?
It would also be nice if you'd added an overlay with like an Icon and the name of the effect under it as soon as the effect actually starts to.. effect you :D
I really liked that you put together a little tutorial level, that really helped :)
I also really enjoyed the lighting and how the title blended in at the start!
oh and please add controler support ;) Amazing what you were able to accomplish in 72 hours!

If I'm using two monitors, loads until main menu:
- Clicking how to play crashes the game.
- Clicking play crashes the game.
If I'm using one monitor:
Crashes before even starting to load.
I'm running Windows 10, 64bit, with integrated and dedicated video cards, Intel4600 and AMD Radeon 8500M/8700M respectively.
Running on battery (integrated graphics card) the game runs, but no graphics are drawn, aside from intro, menu and textbox.
So yeah, probably the AMD graphics card is the issue.
