Impressive game, very evocative of the paranoia in The Thing and Who Goes There/Frozen Hell, the original stories that inspired John Carpenter's movie. Would love to see this expanded into a longer game!
An incredible game, I've really enjoyed it. I recently both featured it as my first game on my Short Games and Demos corner of my Youtube channel, as well as my first story on Medium. Check it out:
Oh, sick! Especially that moment when you first walk across the room and see... how far things have gone. Very nice, very creepy, great art! The full voice acting is something special, as well.
Omg, so many questions !!!! Keep up the good work, I'd die for a long game of yours tbh. There's something about your games that make them familiar but original, idk, really great. Thanks for making them.
Doesn't seem so - it neither works on Slackware64-current nor on openSUSE Leap 15.0, but I'll try with a Ubuntu Live CD tomorrow to be sure.
The problem is that the mouse cursor can't be moved - clicking seems to work fine, though, but that's obviously not enough to play an adventure game ;-) The log file doesn't seem to contain any relevant information about the problem.
This problem does not occur with Murdercide 2017 and Alluvium, though Blood Mechs also seems to be affected. Your other games which I've played already don't seem to support mouse input.
Oh very weird that murdercide/alluvium work and peridium doesn't. Hrmm. Could be the specific version of unity I used for that one, I know there were issues with one version with controllers being plugged in or something. I've rebuilt with a later version, so try it again (v1.4) and let me know if that works!
It has it all: It's a bit frightening, it's a bit funny, but it's such a polished 2D adventure experience! The dialogues are well written, the puzzle design is satisfying and the voice acting is, as usually, top-notch. I felt in love with "Peridium", so I was very happy to see that you not just got the 1st place in the whole Adventure Jam 2017, but also the Developer's Choice Award as well as two Judges' Picks. And I have to agree with them, that's why I not just wrote a praising article about it and uploaded a playthrough video, but I also included it in our GOTY 2017 list. Well deserved, because you guys showed off all your skills once again. Thank you for this game. <3
I'm super glad to hear that! Can't wait to see what all the marvelous devs may come up with in that one... <3 And I'm definitely looking forward to your new entry! :)
This game is awesome, I'm glad I got to experience it. It sucked me in from the start, I love the pixelated art style it has, and the voice acting is absolutely phenomenal!
The game blew my expectations out of the water. It's creepy, dark and clever. I'd recommend anyone and everyone to try this game out.
Also, if you don't mind, I recorded a short let's play of the game.
Cheers and best wishes, I hope to see more from you in the future!
wow this is absolutely brilliant! right when the (amazing) voice acting started i immediately knew i was playing something professionally made! i wish more games had the format of this one, that allowed me time to think and dramatically increased the tension without any major jumpscares (VERY MUCH APPRECIATED) despite a lot of scenes taking me off guard. solid disturbing imagery, but i only once found myself covering my eyes (so i could still play!) AND no tutorial needed while still feeling scared! 10/10
One of the most awesome - short experiences i've ever had!I really liked the voice acting and the whole concept was mind intriguing!Followed you for upcoming projects or the final release of this one xD Here is my Let's Play:
WONDERFUL GAME!!! it reminded me of The Thing by John Carpenter (my fav horror movie), AWESOME JOB dear devs!!! GREAT GAME :D P.s i did a video of it :P
This was a great game, the story reminded me a lot of The Thing from time to time. The story and the graphics were amazing. I can't wait for the full release!
I absolutely loved this short story! The voice action was so good and totally set the mood. Totally got a John Carpenter's The Thing mixed with Secret of Monkey Island vibe. I would love to see a much larger game set in this universe and story Keep it up guys this was awesome! I also made a full playthrough video with no commentary so that you could just enjoy the story check it out here:
*Rurr* Hello there! I gave the game a play, although I was hoping for a bit more - I found myself attached to the main character and their woeful development as time progressed, the ending leaving me a bit sad - hoping I could've changed the outcomes - but, it was a good ride, good voice acting and quality.
This was way more exciting, thrilling and horrifying than I expected it and I loved it so much, that I'm going to be doing a full playthrough of it!
In the mean time, if you want to see my version of the Game Jam build that was made to be a bit more movie-esk, then feel free and I hope you enjoy it!
This Game Is Bloody Amazing.... That's all I need to say about it. I'm not usually a fan of point and click games but this is honestly one of my favorite games of the year. Well done team, I would love to see more like this.
I couldn't pass up making a let's play of this game for my channel.

A fantastic Point & Click adventure. I cannot believe this was made in 5 days. This recently appeared on my Game Review series First Take:
Fantastic game! You really set up a high bar of what is achievable in 5 days :) Excellent work!!
Really cool game, I liked it a lot!
-Made a Video. (Old Video)
Brilliant work! Can't wait for The Drifter.
Oh, sick! Especially that moment when you first walk across the room and see... how far things have gone. Very nice, very creepy, great art! The full voice acting is something special, as well.
Super enjoyed this game! We played Alluvium before and loved it; was definitely not disappointed by this game :D
great game, quick and terrifying.
Completely brilliant. I suspected where it was heading, but the buildup was perfect.
fantastic

for some reason the mouse is not working in the linux version
Same problem here - it would be amazing if this could be fixed, as the game's intro was so extremely promising!
Oh, damn. Is there any particular distro or whatever you're using? No promises, but I can try and take a look.
Doesn't seem so - it neither works on Slackware64-current nor on openSUSE Leap 15.0, but I'll try with a Ubuntu Live CD tomorrow to be sure.

Yes, that did it - thanks a lot, I've just finished the game twice!

I'm super glad to hear that! Can't wait to see what all the marvelous devs may come up with in that one... <3 And I'm definitely looking forward to your new entry! :)
