The echo keepsthem away.png

ENG

A dammned signal. Ringing in your ears. Nausea crawling up your throat. Fear hits so hard it makes you want to throw up. Keep moving or die in the dark. Stay inside the signal zone, search for parts, and upgrade the device to expand its radius and reach the exit. If you stay outside the signal for too long, the creature kills you.

Controls: WASD — move, E — interact, Esc — menu. To win hold "E" on a final door.!

RU

Чертов сигнал! Звон в ушах. Тошнота подступает к горлу. Страх парализует. Двигайся, или умрешь в темноте. Перемещайся вместе с зоной сигнала и музыкой, ищи детали и улучшай устройство, чтобы расширить его радиус действия и добраться до выхода. Если слишком долго пробудешь вне сигнала, тварь тебя настигнет.

Управление: WASD — движение, E — взаимодействие, Esc — меню. Чтобы победить держи "E" на финальной двери.

was hyped by cool-looking creature from last screen but couldnt find him in-game
graphics are pleasant, i think gameloop idea kinda fun and could be developed into full game

Kenoshka (@kenoshka). I uploaded a new version of the game; the previous one actually had a bug and the creature wasn't displayed. Sorry!

Great game, I managed to beat it. At first I didn't understand why the monster was attacking, but then I realized that I needed to move with the signal!)

This was a really interesting one and so much work done for the jam! The low-res texture style was really cool too! Great job!

Very impressive amount of work here! I really enjoyed figuring out where the pieces were (and dying many times along the way). There was a lot of genuine tension playing this game which is super cool. I couldn't quite understand the timing - it felt like sometimes I had lots of time to get to a spot and get back, sometimes I was attacked on my way there. I assume it was something to do with the music? But I'm not sure. Either way, a very enjoyable play.

Alex de la Cour (@alex-de-la-cour), yeah, when you hear music and see sound circles on the floor, it means it's safe to walk within that radius. However... the circles on the 2nd and -1st floors don't turn off due to a bug; we just didn't have time to test it in the last 15 minutes :D

Я выжил!
Хорошая реализация.
Мне очень понравился левел дизайн, круто вы его собрали. Классная графика, волнующий геймплей.
Прошел со второго раза, и мне почему-то не понадобились "островки" сигналов. Предметы легко опознаются и находятся.
Классный проект, вы молодцы!
