--Note---
It's possible that there are UI bugs that don't allow buttons to be clicked. If the game is run in fullscreen it must be run at the monitor's native resolution (if available).
Instructions:
Every night the voices are getting worse. Grab bystanders and load them into your van to soothe them.
Move the player with WASD/Arrow keys and use the mouse to look. Press space to perform actions.
There are context tips along the bottom of the screen for the space bar. When the Voices meter drops below half (turns yellow) it is safe to leave in your van, and you can contain the voices... for now.
Watch out for the police. This is America, and they will shoot on sight.

Interesting...
It runs on Linux, however it buttons are off a bit. Had to hold my mouse above the button and wait for it to wiggle before I could select it.
Sweet ambience, would have been cool if camera followed player and you could hide behind corners better
A+ on the mood - the theme, graphics, and sound really work together.
The slow pacing combined with instant death left me a little less likely to go for repeated plays but I definitely got a fun few nights out of it.
took me a good while understand how to do things :S but it was nice game! i loved the premisse of the voices in side the character head.

Very creepy ambience and I love the idea. It plays well enough, although it is perhaps a little too slow moving.
Very moody and creepy, congratulations! If I had to find fault it's these: the map is not well connected and doesn't really allow tactical play, instead it's all about camping a spot (via trial and error) that people don't walk past. Also, the sudden turns of NPCs make the game too hard (again, until you memorise the patterns).
Still, it's overall a great game. Love the music and the atmosphere.
Wow great atmosphere!Nice music and idea!Also some of the screaming sounds are funny!
Everything feels really tense, you did a great job on the atmosphere!
Fantastic mood! Was a shame that the camera didn't move though, style reminded me of Hotline Miami :D good work
Quite a nice game! I liked the idea, the main drawback that I found was how slow the game play was, but I think that could be preference :)

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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.
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.
Nice take on the theme, took a little while to get the hang of it though. Good work!
