Procedural horror game heavily inspired by Papers, Please & No I'm Not a Human.

-> The best experience is found in the downloadable desktop version. 
(the web build may have performance issue).

Made for Pizza's Doggoy's Horror Jam #3 in one week.

Cool features (spoiler alert!)

Original genre : Paper's Please/Point'n'click hybrid

Progression system : each day brings new tools/employees archetypes

Scary background/ambiance audio

Weird retro PSX look (very original isn't it)

"This house has people in it" feels

Dialogue system : "Blips" àla animal crossing

Procedural generation (kind of) : every play-through is different

Dev notes

Time/Energy management
Could have been more but I discovered this game jam one week after it has started! 
Even with a day and a half of extra time, I was kind of burnt out x_x
And, to be realist, with the current implementation that was started to resemble to mom's spaghetti, that was too dangerous to implement anything new a day from the end. I just made bug fixes and fun additions (like the jam logo) few hours before the end.

What could be improved?

Code architecture, the code is interesting but all over the place (that's the game jam effect). Would need a huge refactor before implementing anything else.

A better contradiction system. It could be way more procedural. Much more fair and challenging at the same time, with a real "red-herring" system.

More aspects to the employees and more elements to inspect. I had ideas like "hobbies". If the employee had an Axe but doesn't state he's cutting wood, that could be a red flag.

A better ending. I had this idea where you had to inspect the boss's desk as the last employee and final test. But with the current implementation, that was too dangerous to implement one day from the end

TLDR; Could have been better gameplay-wise but overall I'm pretty satisfied. Made choices to actually finish it in a working state instead of creeping the scope. I like the ambiance, look and sound.
