Amazing twist on simple crossword game. I love how unique this game is

Really cool and fun concept! Having the spirit slowly guess your name added pressure and having the player enter their name was a neat way to have a difficulty setting while also engaging the player. I enjoyed trying to solve for the spirit's name but I wonder if there's another way to figure it out besides having to skim/search each spirit entry. I also did not see anything door related for the jam theme lol

This was very well done, the visuals and transitions/animations were very clean. Rolling the dice felt and looked great too!

Really enjoyed the concept of the Dice + Crossword gameplay, included with a Lore-"study" factor to it. Plus, the ambience was very haunting - although I'm sad that it isn't an original soundscape.

Also, level 2, with the starting letters, made it way too easy to get the answer haha
Additionaly, picking one letter and then repressing it makes it count as a swap, which shouldn't.

But, in any case, the concept, puzzle pattern and ambience is really good!

I really like the concept for the game! The music and graphics create very spooky atmosphere. Took me a while to guess the words for the 2 ghost. I wish there were more levels. Good job!

Great concept, love the push your luck angle, works really well with the spooky vibes. Also think the idea of trying to find the demons name before it finds yours is a cool race! I had a bit of difficulty moving letters around once I placed them, but could still figure out the words. Really enjoyable little experience!

Cool concept with a spooky atmosphere. Visuals & sound are very polished. The underlying lore was well written & complimented the game well!
