December 14th-17th 2012 :: Theme: You are the Villain
"Do you remember the White Rabbit?"
Back again for my 5th consecutive Ludum Dare, but this time with my first ever game created with UNITY!
Not much gameplay here folks, but put on those headphones and enjoy the sights and sounds of an atmospheric trip down memory lane.

emmmm, Can you please make a .exe build? i cant play it in the browser.
Nice atmosphere. I saw an early screenshot of your game and it inspired me to explore Unity's image effects in mine. I especially liked the rooms with the curved walls near the beginning.
Awesome work. Had to go through it a second time to pay attention.
I'm a sucker for these "art games". I'd love to learn Unity and make one of my own in a game jam some day. Everything in the presentation contributes to the narrative, and its open-endedness is intriguing.
I felt like I was being talked down after having done something wrong. A bit alienating, a bit victimizing. It's a different, abstract take on the theme for sure.
Excellent presentation; I'm a big sucker for atmosphere. Too short but of course that couldn't be helped, especially with your attention to quality.
Damn, this game is beautiful. The story didn't have much impact on me, but the low poly models were a good surprise every time I walked into a new room
I like the style of graphics and music, it's realy high quality. I miss more gameplay (like the "puzzle" in the second room).
This game plays with perspective soo well. somehow reminded me of the unfinished swan prototype, well done
In between all the submissions, this thumbnail caught my eye... and i have to thank my eye he caught that thumbnail.
I simply loved the game's atmosphere, mainly because it's the kind of game i see myself doing but also cause it is very well made, the music, rooms, dialog, lights... the timing and everything.
I have to say, if this trial becomes a full game I'd buy it for sure :)
Doesn't work on Linux :( too bad, I really liked the screenshots.
Great experience! Great presentation. I want to know more about the white rabbit and what happened. :)
great atmosphere (it first reminded me of Portal, dont know why) though I may have not understood everything
Interesting visual style. I just wish there was something to do in the game.
I'm not sure I got what the white rabbit was, but I sure had a great (short) time!
Oh cmon this game is a pure work of art, it just fcking beautiful (the 3D art reminds me of Timothy Reynlods aka Turnislefthom). It's just the kind of game where you wanna walk to the next room and still be surprised by what's in there, awesome job !
The unity entries really should not be called "Web", that suggests that they can be played on any platform :(
You win at mood. Or if you don't, you're in a really close tie with fishbrain's "snap".
From a technical standpoint, it's little more than a Unity tech demo, and it shows. You did say it was your first project after all. Where this differs completely from other Unity tech demos I've seen is the polish on the graphics and the execution on the concept. I *love* the way you guide the player through the story. I love the dramatic timing. It was all masterful.
This is very much making the most out of a very little.
Nice. You could have done more with this, but nice. The falling moment had so much potential, I liked that. Presentation and polish ftw!
Its a shame there's not a bit more to it, as the presentation and sound are very good indeed. Visually it reminded me of a brighter version of Cactus' old game "Mondo medicals".
This was awesome, I'd love to read about how you made the geometric terrain and sweet fog effects!
I loved the atmosphere, and the moments that made me jump. Perhaps it's more of a ride than a game, but it's a very polished ride. :)
Nice graphics, but I would call it more a demo than a game...
Pretty. Not as pretty as your previous non-Unity entries, but pretty nonetheless.
I would have tuned the mouselook down a bit, it was slightly herky-jerky which detracted from the mood.
Let's see who breaks their streak first ;)
For some reason I feel like it's a complete game, and it doesn't need a post-compo. Since there is no gameplay at all, I don't think you need to add it.
It's a really good job, I believe every player has his own representation of the plot. Here is mine:
"You started some scientific project. The target was to make people forget whatever they want. You succeded, but you used people as test subjects. These ones, not ones that tried the full version, became wierd. They either lost all of their memories, or gone mad, or anything else. You used this project called "The White Rabbit" to forget about it, but the game is here to remind."
*clap**clap**clap*
When I first read "The White Rabbit" I thought about "Alice in Wonderland".
Beautiful game, well done! Even though there is not much to do, the mood is excellent, I was touched by the story. The music is great, but I think the mood could be even more great with some sound(s) aside the music.
Great graphics, the story is quite hard to understand for me but i see where you wanted to go. Nice work
It looks like your website is offline D: I'll check it later ;)
Man SUCH great mood. I really enjoyed this, minimal though it was.
Great mood, but I wished there was more. I think it could make for an interesting story- uncovering something horrible that you had chosen to forget, and then having to make the choice- forget it again, or keep it in your memory so you don't make the same mistake?
wow, less than a game, more an "experience", quite interesting :D
Nice graphics and pretty awesome ambience. Have ever you played Kairo?
Wow this is awesome graphics and ambient for 48h work. I definitively love those orange/purples colors you chooses.
And your first game with Unity ? Well you are a gifted designer :)
The lack of gameplay is still a problem for a gamejam. You could easily get the first rank in GFX or Mood with your entry, but it should at least have some interraction so we can call it a game. A switch is not enough ( Did I missed others ? )
I'm still counting topmark for mood, graphics and audio but I'm a bit uncomfortable with this fact.
It means that potentially, a good 48h-made mp3 could get to the top rank in audio...
Anyway, congrats for such an amazing entry.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Enjoyed the graphics and presentation. I like the story, but feel a bit confused. Am I the villain because I have allowed my curiosity (white rabbit) to decay in a modern world of preoccupation and instant gratification? Maybe.
