the concept was great, I just struggled at first to understand how to play, and how to move the character

Unique concept and a great start! It's awfully slow, though. Also, maybe it's just me, but- despite the on-screen instructions saying 'WASD', I had to use the arrow keys to move.

Okay wow this is so cool concept, good job :)

With how nasty my OVERSEER-AI was with these poor technicians, I think it wasn't that cold and uncaring after all :)

I liked this game. The atmosphere, the interface, the situations, the reactions of the operator are all really cool!

Although, it is pretty hardcore, and at the beginning I might have benefited from the explanation that you could actually stack commands oops :s

I loved this game it was really really well made. I would love to see a fully fleshed out version of this game! Though I must say, it is quite hard to evade whatever is hunting you, especialy since you don't hide for that long. I wish you could hide for longer, maybe you gain stress the longer you hide in a spot? Also some way to better escape the monster would would be nice. Maybe if you write the direction in captial letters he runs, gaining more stress when doing so. I ended up spending like 30-50 minutes playing this game.

The atmosphere is well-done but it was hard to understand what I had to do at first. For a jam, I think a "HOW TO PLAY" section is pretty important, which is something I failed to make clear for my game too :/

Very interesting! The audio design made this game so good as well, although moving around feels very slow even for this type of game. Congrats!

Great throwback to text-based rpg. I like games where you have time to think about your action, good jam entry!

Interesting game, I could see this being expanded out to a much bigger game. Very interesting, also nice to see a text parser game, i have a soft spot for those.

I really this kind of game where you need to type in commands so I like it a lot!! I got a issue though, I cant exit the input once I type the command SCAN at the very beggining of the game
