No. One user had a false positive to a wacatac trojan script by windows defender. Which happens quite commonly. If you get something similar, look at the discussion above the jam entry: https://itch.io/jam/isolation/rate/3892910
This false positive doesn't happen with the newly updated version I've just put up. So make sure to download that.

ArDanZ11 I just ran into a remnant, it was really creepy, and I almost freaked out

Oh, I thought it wasn't creepy enough 🙂

Ok, I like this game

Here's a first update to the jam version. Fixed most game breaking bugs and added some eye candy. The features are listed here: https://nenad2d.itch.io/shut/devlog/1061258/some-major-improvements-to-a-hasty-jam-version

The one I'm most happy about is god rays. They enhance the mood and also help you see exactly where/how the light is hitting. I thought it'd be hard to implement this but I managed to figure out quite a simple way to do it. It's far from any physical accuracy but it sells the illusion well.

Some screenshots:

xyz speaking of game breaking bugs, I ran into an invisible window. I got a huge exposure note, though there was no light and I eventually lost the game.

ArDanZ11 Did you get this in the latest version with god rays?

Sometimes there can be a ceiling windows with bars so thick that they practically fill the whole window. So check such ceiling windows if there is no apparent open windows and exposure in the room is still present. Those windows can still be normally closed to stop the exposure and shut the room. You just won't have a good visual clue because there is no visible light parts in the window.

It's a known bug that happens rarely. I'll fix it in the next update.

Great game! Just had a quick go. I must say it's quite addictive once you get into it, hehe.

xyz

MikeCL Thanks! Glad you tried it out.
Yeah, it tends to get a bit addictive 🙂

xyz when you fail, you always want to play it again to try to get it right until you are so frustrated that you smash your computer, except I don't think that would actually happen, but it is really addictive

A little bit late, but congrats on winning the Isolation Game Jam! 🥳 The latest screenshots with the god rays look so cool!

We didn’t get a chance to properly check it out until now. So we're happy to see Shut in the Improve My Game Jam! We've blocked some time next week to play and review game jam entries, so you can expect more feedback from us during the jam. 🙂

The game got a new Remnant asset. It's now, hopefully, a bit more mysterious, with some tentacles. Making the tentacles was technically quite an exciting part.

More in a devlog post on itch. You can also download and play this newest version.
