The White Rabbit by kato9
"Do you remember the White Rabbit?"
Back again for my 5th consecutive Ludum Dare, but this time with my first ever game created with UNITY!
Not much gameplay here folks, but put on those headphones and enjoy the sights and sounds of an atmospheric trip down memory lane.

I felt like I was being talked down after having done something wrong. A bit alienating, a bit victimizing. It's a different, abstract take on the theme for sure.
I simply loved the game's atmosphere, mainly because it's the kind of game i see myself doing but also cause it is very well made, the music, rooms, dialog, lights... the timing and everything.
I have to say, if this trial becomes a full game I'd buy it for sure :)
From a technical standpoint, it's little more than a Unity tech demo, and it shows. You did say it was your first project after all. Where this differs completely from other Unity tech demos I've seen is the polish on the graphics and the execution on the concept. I *love* the way you guide the player through the story. I love the dramatic timing. It was all masterful.
This is very much making the most out of a very little.
I would have tuned the mouselook down a bit, it was slightly herky-jerky which detracted from the mood.
Let's see who breaks their streak first ;)
It's a really good job, I believe every player has his own representation of the plot. Here is mine:
"You started some scientific project. The target was to make people forget whatever they want. You succeded, but you used people as test subjects. These ones, not ones that tried the full version, became wierd. They either lost all of their memories, or gone mad, or anything else. You used this project called "The White Rabbit" to forget about it, but the game is here to remind."
*clap**clap**clap*
When I first read "The White Rabbit" I thought about "Alice in Wonderland".
And your first game with Unity ? Well you are a gifted designer :)
The lack of gameplay is still a problem for a gamejam. You could easily get the first rank in GFX or Mood with your entry, but it should at least have some interraction so we can call it a game. A switch is not enough ( Did I missed others ? )
I'm still counting topmark for mood, graphics and audio but I'm a bit uncomfortable with this fact.
It means that potentially, a good 48h-made mp3 could get to the top rank in audio...
Anyway, congrats for such an amazing entry.
