These monsters are tough, even a bear trap, a dynamite and a rifle bullet won't kill one. ;)

The game looks good, consistent and atmospheric though, the sounds are good, field of view and movement are fine. I like the idea of the game and want to activate something with these statues, even the amount and speed of enemies, speed of stress meter and instant die when going through an enemy work.

I'd gladly play a fixed version, thanks for sharing.

Like others, I fell off the world several times, I can't seem to use items or attack and there doesn't seem to be any sound or music. I really liked the low-fi graphics and the dark atmosphere and the movement was well done.

Has potential but needs some work.

First thing I did is ran through door behind me and fell through the level. Then I did the same with second door in front of me. I was running around, sometimes through objects and walls... if they were illusionary walls - they looked glitchy. I couldn't pick up objects or use anything that I ran across.. You can go inside the table and it will be huge for some reason.

It looks promising, but sadly is unplayable at this moment :(

some glitchy things happened.

I was thrown out of the world.

Obviously there's a solid start here.

Dagon wins this round.

I'm, uh, not really sure what's going on here and how anything is supposed to work. I clipped through everything and I managed to pick up some items but it was very hard to do so and that's about it.

Very dark and spooky!

I think you used the jam to learn something new. The Unreal engine in this case. 

That is good, that is what a jam is all about!

Nah, I am sorry but this is a 500mb download and it is Unreal engine. If you use such tools, than make something with it, thats worth the trouble. I clipped through walls everywhere and once dropped out of the level. On contact with an enemy everything started spinning around. I suppose the graphics are nice, but what you were going for could be done with something, which makes smaller games, like Godot or even a framework like Raylib. Don´t just use Unreal, because the "big boys" use it. Use the tool, that fits the task. Sorry for the harsh words, but it is cool, that you tried at all.

The visual presentation is great, the enemy design, lighting, shader effects are all very good.

My first experience was turning around at the start of the game and immediately clipping through the door and falling into a void.

The inventory icon difference between having and not having something is a bit subtle, at the start I assumed I started with all those items. I also hit an enemy with a bear trap, dynamite, and shotgun, and none of it seemed to affect it.

Thanks for submitting.

Was odd to have interact on the mouse when the mouse isn't used for anything else.
