Hello Denji and team,

Loved the graphics in this game, the little Christmas tree was cute and the cut scene was really nice. The UI on the menu I think could have been better. It didn't feel like I was clicking the button when I hit start I think that's because it too so long.

I was pretty confused on what to do and the driving made me a bit dizzy with the rails passing which also made it kind of difficult to play/find enjoyable.

Nice work on your game, the strongest assets were the art and animation. Keep it up :D

This game has to be played by more people! The cutscene is awesome, and the gameplay is breathtaking! I'm recommending several games for people to play (including mine), but this one has to be in the top of the LD 50, especially in setting.

Congratulations!

I just thought the ""mini-games"" inside the direction didn't make much sense, but I understand why they were there. There could be a way to drive and run, without the mini games and more obstacles.

Great soundtrack, great visuals, very fun idea, and great execution! I would like give a feedback but I'm not sure what can be improved. Loved it!

@ocwal thank you for asking, but unfortunately there won't be a web build! If you're still interested in seeing the game, you may be lucky enough, to catch one of the ludum dare streamers play it!

Sooo, i played your game.

First things first: why do i bring such a shitty car to a heist that keeps breaking down? Why does that murderous train driver want to kill me instead of just breaking? Why cant i just throw that damn radio out of the window? It just keeps messing up the frequency, and i just want to listen to some fancy music.

So, at the first try i failed fast, i drove about 10km, second attempt, it was 15 km. At the third attempt i was too good. I just drove and drove to infinity. Even that shitty car couldnt break my will to get that money and buy an alpaca farm in northern spain.

So i drove along the rails. The fog has gotten denser. Nothing could stop me. Not even that damn train driver. He wouldnt catch me.
But after a while, i asked myself. Where am i? Is it all just a dream? After ten minutes of driving and fixing, where is the train? Why am i still here, driving, fleeing? I can´t run forever, can i?

So i faced my fear. I stopped the car. I ignored the radio, the battery, the goddamn oil. I just stopped.
And then.. nothing. I still heard the train. Those dangerous noises. But nothing hit me. Is it even still there?

I was curious. I turned around. Facing that damn train driver. I no longer would be the hunted, i would be the hunter. I drove the way back where i was coming from. Maybe the police thought i was dead? Maybe the train stopped? Maybe i could just get back and live a happy life on my farm in northern spain?

I drove along. But then, suddenly, i fell. I fell into the void. Where should be the rails, there was nothing. The fog was too dense, but no rails, no train, just nothing. Just void. Was it all just a dream?



tl;dr: I think i just broke your game. But it was a great experience! Keep up!

I like your idea a lot! Preview and mood are just perfect! But I found a few things that prevent me from playing:
- Graphics - all are fuzzy (as if it's for 3d glasses)
- I don't know car speed (even don't know whether I have to press [W])
- I don't understand what to do with environment. UI say me to press [E] or nothing and whatever I do I don't understand whether it works or not
I hope my feedback helps you, cause this game is near to be perfect!

Thanks for making this game!

Awesome game. I loved the cut scene. Noticed the car does not have a driver. Hehe.
I liked the use of the fog and the Chromatic Aberration. Overall this is a very good attempt.

cool looking game. The light and volumetric fog with audio created a good atmospheric mood to the game. The play through was confusing but I just played through to enjoy the art style. Thanks for the experience.

I think I missed the rating window by like a minute!

Nice idea mixing driving with having to do random shit to fix your car. Good ol' multitasking :)

Yeah and creepy stuff behind me whatever that was, love it.
