The minimalistic visuals are very well executed and together with the creepy soundscape create a thick atmosphere of unease. Once I figured out that going along the walls keeps you save from harm it was basically finding a way through the maze gameplay-wise. So, actually quite simple, but the mood (and humor that fit surprisingly well) kept me going. Then I reached the exit, and god, why? :) So I went back to the desk (does the labyrinth change on every objective or was this just my imagination?) and oh boy, I should've known. I quit at that point because the atmosphere was starting to really get to me. A really good piece of horror overall, great job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"huf0001","author_uid":"1126588","time":"2018-12-20T01:23:36Z","epoch":1545269016,"modified":1545269016,"text":"On one hand, I would have appreciated more visibility. On the other,  being hardly able to see really played to the game's atmosphere and flavour, and it got a little easier to see as time went on. Interesting mechanic. Navigation was a bit of an issue, but at the same time that played to the theme.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Neon","author_uid":"1000230","time":"2018-12-24T01:36:44Z","epoch":1545615404,"modified":1545616061,"text":"After that harrowing 15 minute experience, I'll write this and then try to actually reach the exit. I managed to even clock out before running into an eldritch eye-thing in my excitement at finding the exit again.\n\nI gotta say, the atmosphere sure is spooky, and the labyrinth sure makes me really hate the person who decided that's a good way to make offices. I think I saw a note about that, but forgot. I realized that the notes could be really useful as navigational tools a bit late, and then decided to just arrogantly not use them, so this game really gave me a good amount of appreciation for the human mind, as towards the end I was almost able to navigate the maze. The low-bit graphics and small amount of light sure makes it *really* hard to know where you're going, so great job in making the environment feel really strange and hard to get a grasp of, enhancing the spookiness of the whole thing.\n\nI don't play many horror games, so this might just be a horror game thing, but I'm kinda amazed at how the game felt so hostile and disturbing (in a good(?) way?) (???), yet still didn't make me want to quit out and call it a day.\n\nEdit: That took a lot less time (7 minutes!) with the aid of the notes. And Sharon, I think was her name, amazingly ended up on my path to Accounting and saved me a whole backtracking trip, which was great.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld43\/132252-2f29c366d74fed3ed2856d5e1627860c.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/hthr.itch.io\/hostile-takeover","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/hthr.itch.io\/hostile-takeover","text":"macOS"},{"url":"https:\/\/hthr.itch.io\/hostile-takeover","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"37685","g_author":"1039091","g_event":"LD43","g_eventkey":"71","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"235182","g_title":"Hostile Takeover","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"206","g_commentcount":"12","g_site2_node_id":"132252","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"132252","n_urlkey":"235182","n_parent":"120415","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/43\/hostile-takeover","n_slug":"hostile-takeover","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"39091","n_created":"1543781430","n_modified":"1543782665","n_version":"381665","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":132252,"parent":120415,"superparent":9,"author":39091,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-12-02T20:29:31Z","created":"2018-12-02T20:10:30Z","modified":"2018-12-02T20:31:05Z","version":381665,"slug":"hostile-takeover","name":"Hostile Takeover","body":"You are a low-level employee of CUDDLE-CO, a company that makes clothes for puppies.
