Gainesville, Florida. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒด The student district is paralyzed by a series of unsettling break-ins. The "Gainesville Ripper" is on the loose, and a strict midnight curfew is in effect. You play as Leo, a film student staying up late to finalize a horror short film project. But as the humidity rises and the apartment grows cold, you begin to realize that the "scary footage" on your monitor might be closer to home than you think. ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ TACTILE GAMEPLAY Gainesville Incident requires your focus and effort: Manually power on your 90s PC and VCR to review your 16mm test footage. ๐Ÿ“ผ Domestic Chores: Fix the faulty thermostat, heat up leftovers in the microwave, and prepare tea to keep the chills away. โ˜•๐ŸŒฏ Brave the dark, rainy parking lot to retrieve Miaโ€™s forgotten textbooks before the "Hard Curfew" hits. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿš— Quest Tracking: Press [TAB] to see your current objectives. You will hear a writing sound effect ๐Ÿ“ every time your goals are updatedโ€”stay sharp! โŒจ๏ธ CONTROLS [TAB]: Review Tasks (Listen for the pencil scratch! ๐Ÿ“) [LMB]: Interact / Pick up / Use objects ๐Ÿ–๏ธ [RMB]: Special Actions (Insert tapes, etc.) ๐Ÿ“ผ [MMB]: Focus / Zoom (Examine the details ๐Ÿ”) [F]: Flashlight ๐Ÿ”ฆ [H]: Navigation Assist (Find your car or the exit ๐Ÿ“) โš ๏ธ DEVELOPER'S NOTE 12-day Gunscreen Horror Jam. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Because of the tight deadline, you may encounter visual bugs or moments where the reality of 1990 feels a bit fractured.
