How does your game represent "Power"?
There's a power outage. Fear renders you powerless to fight against the shadows lurking in the dark. You must rely on the courage of your trusty Teddy to see you through the blackout and help you restore the power.

Really really cute game! I will admit, I cant figure out how to connect the wires in the breakerbox and I skipped the dialog explaining it after like the second paragraph I just started mashing space. You guys did get me thogh with the "is that all" lol.
the game looks and sounds amazing. the puzzles are cool and the theme is very cute. nice job!
I liked the wire puzzles.
I think it would have been even better if the shadows worked somewhat differently, because on the third puzzle, I simply had to keep pressing SPACE mindlessly as my attention had to be fully on the wires.
I appreciate a proper difficulty curve, which it did have.
Neat game!
i loved teddy's bear puns in the face of stress and unimaginable horrors. gameplay was fun and enjoyed being able to interact with some of the world!
I bear witness to a great game. This remind it me of Zombie U, the multitasking was fun. Very forgiving and nice environment. I loved the puntastic personality of the Teddy.
Loved the art style! The gameplay was very dynamic and a little overwhelming at times. But I think the challenge is exactly why I liked it. It was pretty intense trying to read and solve the puzzle on the right while also trying to help the main character while playing as Theodore on the left. I love that you have to multi-task, really makes you feel more scared as I imagine the main character would actually feel. Such a great design choice! This game was un-bear-lievable :)
Beautiful game, really like the style! Thank you for making it :)
This is well put together! A full Narrative and everything! Nice! Spooky!
I struggled with the multitasking but felt it was very on-theme with the rest of the game. Very immersive, great ambience!
I thought having to play two minigames at once was very nice. And I think the puzzles were set up well, especially considering the time pressure.
Great job
Those bear puns are really bear-illiant!
Very fun, I liked the theme, the sound effects were good spooky sound effects, I liked the two games being played at once where you had to do the breaker box and fight off shadows.
I liked all the puns haha. The music and sounds reminded me of old horror games I used to play when I was a kid. I especially like that you have to simultaneously solve the breaker box puzzles while warding off the shadows-- I had to really flex my multitasking muscles! I enjoyed playing!
bear-y nice job, I thought the dual part of warding off shadows while solving the minigame was pretty unique! The writing was very self aware which I found amusing, the info dump at the beginning had me worried but it became very clear what I had to do. I also liked the breaker step was *just* tedious enough to deter me from brute forcing the wires, very well thought out. Overall the difficulty was perfect for a jam game, well done!
Love the teddy!! I really liked that you could ward the ghosts AND do the wires - I really needed to concentrate there!
wheres my teddy, i need my own personal teddy.
good little game, the walking around while trying to do the wires simultaneously is pretty cool. the last level though inhibited movement so much i just stayed on the girl and spammed space. the enemy warding could be more refined, but this is a great jam entry.
whew! rolled credits on this one. Fun game! Teddy is such a good friend <3
I did find the breaker box instructions confusing. It would say like "match colors, these 2 colors a swapped", but then none of the colors matched? I just did trial and error on every box until i found the right combo. Not sure if the instructions were like that on purpose? or if it was supposed to be more clear?
They should be able to be matched, but we didn't do an accessibility pass due to the jam time constraints. They're supposed to be tricky though, and I've seen quite a few people miss an instruction or two. Thank you for the feedback!
This is really great! The premise is unique, the atmosphere is very effective, all the sound design is fitting and rightfully spooky, and the art is very enjoyable. That last breaker box gave me a run for my money. All of the puzzle solving was appropriately challenging and leveled in a manageable way. I did think there was a lot of explanation text at the first breaker box, but once it was acknowledged by the characters themselves I felt a lot better, haha. Great work!
Had a more visual tutorial in the works that unfortunately had to be scrapped for time! Tis the way of the jam... Glad you powered through!!
Really neat concept! Simultaneous "action" play while solving puzzles is a real brain breaker :D
This game REALLY put my undiagnosed ADHD to the test! Loved the sound effects, writing and the design. The use of the theme was great and reminded me of the dread of my next utility bill :')
