How does your game fit the theme?
Behind the door lies some dark mysteries ;)
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
not everything, I used a lot of assets from Itch and Unity asset store and got some chatgpt help for the code as well.

I really like the art style, this is a very cool concept for a game.
perhaps the player could lock-on to enemies, like in elden ring?
The third-person-shooter aiming was kind of tricky for me to get the hang of, i think the way it swings around quite far from the player feels like you're throwing diagonally sometimes.
i like how walking on the burning ground deals damage over time so you have to stick to the path.
the writing is very creative too.

GestateI love the art style! (I made a game with billboard characters too).
The ambiance was great thanks to the music and the fog. The combat animation, trail and sound feels good, but the lack of feedback make it hard to understand what is happening. And the camera control felt weird and slow.
Some Unity related stuff:
- With the old input system, use the GetAxis method instead of GetKey for WASD, because GetAxis supports different keyboard layouts. Or use the new input system with default configuration.
- Use "Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked" or "Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Confined" to prevent the cursor to go outside the game view (second screen).

Goblins & FireballsFor a jam the old input system does the job well. Just use GetAxis for movement, it's easier to use and has better compatibility (works with gamepad and non qwerty keyboards).
The new input system is probably better for big projects with complex inputs and with support to a lot of different devices. It's easier to customize and can deal with more complex inputs than just pressing and releasing keys. But it's also a bit more complex to use so it's not necessarily better for a small game.
I was really sceptical at first when i saw this game, but i gotta say it feels so so good. The environment and the character design weirdly fit so great together. Id really love to see some of your own style instead of free assets, but i fully get why you chose that option in this short time window.Great job!

Mama WurstI share the opinions of some comments here. I loved the 2.5D art style, and think you did a great job setting up the premise with interesting dialogue, but the bumpiness of the mechanics made the rest of the experience difficult.
- love the art style
- great sound design
- nice intro (though I'd delay the scrolling of the text a second or two, as I was racing to read it as it scrolled at first)
- the aiming reticle didn't seem to line up with the wolves; aiming at them threw balls over their head, and aiming down didn't help
- hard to tell if I was catching something (I saw some text about a 30% catch rate..?)
- turning felt slow when trying to avoid wolves, and once i aggro'd them they were on me 😅
Really like the concept and art style, which is no small feat with a limited amount of time during a jam, so good work, and hope to see the mechanics smoothed out at some point and give it another go! Keep it up!

Expert Monster RemoveThanks a lot for your feedback :)
I'll adjust the starting of the text.
Yes the aiming was kinda complicated to get right for me, I should have just download a third person controller instead 😅😅😅
Yes there' a 30% catch rate by default that increase if you damage the wolves, let's say they are low life it might become 70-90% catching rate, but it's wonky and not well explained, it could have deserve a Proper text explanation somewhere.
Ah ? Interesting, I'll increase the turning speed :)
Yes I need to rework some mechanics :)
Did you go inside the door and all ?
Thanks a lot :) I'll play your game this week :)
Ugh I wish this game worked on my computer because the visual style is so so cool. I was so excited as soon as I started moving around, but every time I spoke to the old man the text would break or I would be killed by a wolf during the dialogue sequence. It's a jam game though, so I totally understand this stuff can happen. If you release a patch I would definitely play again! Props to you for trying something visually ambitious and unique.

LithicI love the style of this, the look and feel of the 2d sprites in a 3d world immediately grabbed me. I found it difficult to aim the throws as they didn't seem to match with my targeting reticule, but certainly loved the dialogue audio, made my laugh when I first heard it!

As you WishOkay, I'm going to be frank here. The first 30 seconds I was like "Bruh this is mid, but he played my game so let's play his" Then I saw the pixel art character from 3rd person's view and now I also want to make a game like that.
I think that pixel art 3rd person 2.5D is an amazing idea. I think the game would greatly benefit from putting pixel art on the floor as well. I added this style to my idea queue and will try it.
- Outside of my love for the style.
- The audio is wonderful, especially the music.
- I couldn't get a hang of the combat system.
- The wolves look like slimes or other abominations when they face you.
- I liked how attacks were chained.
Overall I think it's a Steam game if you put pixel art on the floor and polish the combat system
Oh and I don't get how it relates to the theme, but that's minor.

KingdomDeckI love the idea and the 2.5d style. The game is fun, but i foun it too difficult to aim and catch wolves, and even if i did, they wouldn't follow me through the path :(
