I really like how this game felt. Couple of suggestions:

- Please don't make the cutscene text white, it clashes with the office.
- Make a tutorial more readily available in game.

samcoy: I added a black shadow to the cutscene text, should be easier to read now. As for the tutorial, I also wish there was one but it's out of the project scope this time. :(

seemed very difficult - the guards don't appear to move in a pattern - which means success is pure chance :(

Good entry. You can improve the design level in the women's movement. Not to make more difficult, but to make the player need to observe their movements.

Good if basic stealth concept; reminds me of the cubicle stage in Path of Neo a decade ago. The game on Unity was quite choppy in performance, though that could be an issue on my part. Good work!

I like the stealth concept, a nice take on the theme. The visual are appealing, the heavy use of ambient occlusion works. Well done!

Fun game! Great music, flawless graphics. The contrasts were perfect, everything was very visually appealing. The game gets really tough towards the end, I would have loved to explore more of the building (i.e. other offices). Well done!

It booted but did not show a title or allow control, just showed a scene with characters. (This is on AMD A10-4600M laptop with Radeon HD 7660G)

triplefox: Could you try updating your graphics card drivers? I've read about the same issue happening with an AMD graphics card in one other case and I know of at least one AMD GPU that displays the game correctly so maybe it's at least partially a driver issue.

On my first tries I was trying to turn and keep a watch on my back. But when I realive that I just have to watch the suspicion bar and leave my cursor on the computer the game became too easy. Maybe suspicion warning should be available only if you see the guard.

I love to feel nerves by being caught by guards, but i don't understand why you are the monster :/

hahahahaha. What a funny but hard game. I loved it. You could really turn this into a full game. with different missions and what not. So that Jack can dream for more than just a boat. Nice entry dude!

All that effort and I didn't even get to see the boat I worked so hard to steal money to buy! Booo!

Seriously, it's not a bad game, but the employee movement seems totally random: maybe if they had paths and routines that could be observed it would give the game more depth. Right now the action is pretty rudimentary and based more on luck than stealth skill.

A great story and a fun game to play.

Great game! Not easy at first but once you get the hang of it it turns into an exciting stealth game.
One thing I suggest for maybe a post jam version would be adding vocal-feedback sounds for the patrolling women.

Keep up the good work!
