Evacuation Protocol by DmitriyCI

[raw]
made by DmitriyCI for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

Evacuation Protocol is an experimental horror game inspired by the atmosphere of SCP: Containment Breach. You will have to explore the secret complex, collect classified documents and find an escape route while the self-destruct protocol is counting down. In addition to the usual timer, the main character is infected with a dangerous virus that can kill the player if he does not take the vaccine “G-72". Every delay brings defeat closer - will you be able to get out before the system closes all exits?

Controls:

w - forward movement s - backward movement a - Left movement d - right movement

Left click - selection of documents and vaccines

Very simple and efficient concept! The music might not serve well the horror atmosphere you want to create, and sometimes you couldn't see anything for a while which was a bit frustrating (might be by design as a consequence of the virus though?)

I also found the graphics a bit disorienting, but in the context of the kind of game you are going for here maybe that's a feature rather than a bug. Walking into doors that didn't open and then having to figure out what to do to escape the resulting black screen was the most difficult part I think.

I think the music fits OK - both the music and the game have more of a "panic" horror theme than a "expecting something to jump out at you around the corner" kind of horror.

Thank you for your feedback @aquanim and @rascar-capac!
We are aware of the "darkness" and will fix it in the next update, which will be available on Google Drive or on itch io.

And the music was chosen in such a way to create the feeling that we need to speed up.

Good music and interesting idea. Like mentioned before the darkness makes it very hard to navigate sometimes. Got stuck in quite a few rooms. :crying_cat_face:

Не знаю почему, но эта игра меня очень сильно порадовала. Даже когда в первый раз мне не хватило считанных секунд, чтобы дойти до чекпоинта, я начал игру заново и прошёл её с удовольствием. В игре замечательный саундтрек, который как никак подходит к динамичному перемещению по всем этим комнатам. Из минусов, освещение бывает слишком тёмным и я теряюсь. Спасибо вам за полученный мной игровой опыт!

Love the atmosphere and music but The lighting is sometimes too dark to see something. Game is a little bit laggy, but I think it's just my weak PC

Thank you for your feedback @emiliaye!

As I mentioned earlier, we will correct the lighting in the next version. As for the lags, we are currently unsure, as we have not encountered them.

Игра классная, но очень не хватает освещения, в некоторых моментах совсем не понятно двигается персонаж или упёрся в стену, лично мне не хватает скина на персонажа, чего-то на подобие халата учёного, и нету указателей на чекпоинт

Спасибо вам за отзыв @mrekzes!

Свет будет обновлён в следующей версии. Скина на персонаже нет т.к. не нашли нормальных ассетов, художников в команде нет. Возможно найдём ассет и добавим в следующем обновлении. ( ассеты при создании игры не были использованы, вся карта создавалась нашей командой ).

Игра хорошая, но во время игры немного раздражал свет. Иногда его было слишком мало, либо наоборот - много. Не хватает конечно же монстра, играть в хоррор без бабайки не так эффектно, но в целом игра получилась очень хорошей

Спасибо вам за отзыв @svyat!

Свет будет обновлён в следующей версии. "Монстр" вообще не рассматривался в игре, но возможно когда ни будь он будет в игре.

But after pulling in my blackout curtains it was a really nice game, the atmosphere of the game was quite nice and I liked the directive and it was also quite a unique interpretation of the theme.
What I wanna mention is that for me the music did not fit the style of the game at all I would gone for some scary ambient sounds rather than this NCS style music.
Great game!

Great audio in this and I REALLY appreciated the moment with the mirror where you see the character reflection. Swinging arms are a lovely touch that give the game a rapid feel. Felt nice to play. Solid!

Took me a few tries until I managed to found all of them (one room was hid neatly and I skipped it every single time :D) I think the main problem was getting into the rooms that were locked and getting all the light to shut off and it took a great while until camera readjusted lighting (and I feel I had to manually find the source of light for it to do). Otherwise, I do like the concept of running away from facility, I love SCP and this certainly has it's feel to it. I wish there were some spooky text appearing every time you get a page, like piece of trivia about the experiment. I loved the idea that you put some color coding into the game to help me navigate, it helped sometimes. The track was certainly suitable for epic prison break rather than horror, but I do not complain, I did not need to stress! :D Great job!

Music's so hype, it makes for some fun vibes. Gives that "race against the clock" feeling quite strongly.

Amazing work! It’s super interesting and has a vert unique way to paraphrase the theme, good job! And welcome to give our game a try! :)
