I think you captured the atmosphere of an oppressive state quite well. I didn't expect the stralth but it was good (cycles are always annoying tho). I don't enjoy push the right button puzzles (ik they probably have a name) because it involves too much guessing.
Thank you for the kind comments! I wish the stealth was a bit more in-depth, but keeping it rudimentary for a prototype is all I could manage for now.
The puzzles are simply referred to as "Light's Off", or "Light's On" in my case - I did attempt to provide more information to the player (showing the lights the button affects in the current lever state), reducing the need to guess, but I'm unsure of how else I could allow players to make more informed decisions in a puzzle like this without giving them the answer.
There is, however, a 5-button solution. If you care to try and find it :D
Wow, Krill, thank you so much! Your feedback means a lot to me :D I'm always welcome to criticism if there is anything you can point out that needs improving 😃
it’s a bit annoying that the stealth section sends you all the way back every time, and I feel like the amount of time it takes to get caught is a bit short.
Also, I had to pull the lever twice to open the vent, I’m not sure if that’s a me thing though
I received some feedback about the checkpoints in playtesting. It wouldn't have made sense for a guard to place you back inside a restricted zone if you got caught. So I left it out, but the difficulty of the stealth part was lessened (quite a bit!) to make the resets fewer, even increasing the time it takes to get caught. I suppose I didn't get that bit quite right- but I appreciate the feedback!
The vent lever is definitely a bug, not one which I have encountered so far. I will look to put out a fix for it when I get time, thank you buddy!
Thank you so much for checking out my short assignment project and making a video of it! It really helps me to grasp where my design falls short, so this is incredibly useful to me😃

This is the most impressive project I've seen in this jam, and is just generally very impressive overall. Great work!
