I liked the use of colors. Seems like you wrote lots of dialogue too. very nice

I like the mini-game and "demon-haunting" element, but at the start, it wasn’t really clear what to do, because the dialogue box is not very convenient (the choice is hidden). Maybe it Web-version problem with UI.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We are sorry to hear that the UI experience wasn't the best...we were pretty pressed for time throughout the entire jam so even finishing was a miracle in itself XD

Okay this was very interesting? The graphics are really unique and I liked the atmosphere, though I would've liked different kinds of puzzles or maybe harder ones... Is it true that you're supposed to be able to beat the demon in 2 puzzles? because I did 2 playthroughs and I managed to beat him everytime in 2 puzzles...

But anyways I really liked the graphics and music, the atmosphere is surprisingly relaxing for such a spooky story...

Developer

Thank you for the constructive feedback! We will be sure to improve on the points you mentioned.

I was also able to beat the demon pretty quickly, but I have also had playthroughs where I had to exorcise everyone. I think it all depends on your skill!

Good game! I loved the little puzzles in the vending machines, the minimalist graphics, the colour palette, the chill music... The front graphics were excellent, too! You've got a great logo - and with an even greater slogan. That's definitely something to put on a shirt and wear proudly!
When it comes to drawbacks - when I tried to speed up the dialogue (I read faster than the text was appearing), I constantly clicked space instead of scrolling... and when the option to trust or exorcise appears, it automatically chooses trust when space is clicked (when I didn't see the option yet, because I haven't scrolled). It might be just my fault for being impatient and not scrolling - but I think space button shouldn't choose one option or other by default.

Closing thoughts: thank you. Thank you for doing this game! It wasn't ... life-changing. Most likely. Unless you'd count the nightmare I'll be having from now on of me being a demon escapee from hell looking at people from the rotating inside of a laundromat. BUT! It was surely entertaining.

Thank you very much for the kind words. We will be sure to improve upon our mistakes and come back stronger next time!

I'm not a super fan of surreal and a bit on the creepy side of things, but I enjoyed playing through. Didn't really succeed but I really enjoyed the graphics and puzzles and dialogue.

Thank you we appreciate the support!
