Room 5; a tech demo
By Thingus(code) and i0003(assets, level design)
The idea we had behind this was to have a game where you interact entirely with a world viewed through CCTV cameras, using only a switchboard and PA system. Who's listening to the PA system and carrying out your instructions? Good question!
Unfortunately, real life got in the way and we were only able to implement this basic demo. You can view the cameras using the switchboard (if you see static, experiment some), and one room brings up an interaction menu (but the interaction doesn't work). I spent too long trying to do the puzzle system 'right', and wound up with no puzzles at all :-( However, we do intend to carry on development of this, at least until our UnityPro trial expires and we can't use the RenderTextures anymore; watch this space for further updates.
Tool used: Unity Pro, Blender, Paint.NET
Thanks to itch.io for hosting.
Update (10/12/2014): Increased the resolution of the web player a touch

Erm... The Windows Version that is provided is just the html file with an embed to a unity3d scene that does not exist. Did you mean to share that too?
I'll check back tomorrow for the web version. Judging by the lighting this looks goose bumpy.
I really love the visuals. I would love to see it fully-implemented!
Aesthetically this is beautiful., but play space is a little small with respect to the tiny CCTV haha.
Seems like it's got potential! hope you do continue development!
O.O
Very spooky and atmospheric, I am defiantly very interested in what comes out of this.
Checked the web version out. Definitely needs to be played within a big window. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this.
Now your ludumdare as well as your itch.io page say "watch this space for further updates.". So I take it both are good to go after.
I won't rate it because it's unfinished but the concept looks neat and the presentation it very nice. Will you keep working on it?
Good idea for the theme! It's a pity you weren't able to get it done.
This submission is a great fit for the theme. It's a shame life got in the way of development. I hope this concept is pursued further in the future!

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.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Love the look of it!
