Ranked from 41 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does you game fit the theme?
The main character is plagued by creatures that are not real when she's low on sanity. Furthermore at the end we realise that she may not even be her real self.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code was all written by myself, @Carré (not without checking a bunch of tutorials on youtube when stuck), all the art assets were made by @Croustille. We did all the sounds ourselves but did not compose the music (credited in the description).

Wow those red eyes on the ending tho. Good horror vibe! Great work

Submitted

The lighting was really good and the monsters were creepy.

I like the light mechanic where I can recover my speed when I'm in the light. The drops are a really nice touch since some of the enemies can effectively block my way and hit me multiple times. Overall, good stuff!

Submitted

The music really fits the style of the game, really spooky. The gameplay itself was rather simple, but that's ok :]. Overall a good job!

Submitted

Rated!, would appreciate if you do mine too!, Thanks! XD

This was really cool, and had a creepy atmosphere. The art and audio were excellent, matching the tone superbly. The lighting effects were also pretty captivating. The main thing I would change is the enemy speed; it was pretty easy to outrun them, and they didn't attack me enough to where I had to worry much about my health. Still, this game was an awesome play.

I loved your sound design. It was giving me real goosebumps and conveyed the atmosphere perfectly.

The monsters could have been a bit more aggressive and deadlier ^^

If you have some time I would love to get a rating as well:

really well done sound design. i do wish the game was a bit longer tho but other than that great game

Submitted

Very atmospheric indeed! The sound design on this one is particulary strong - was afraid right from the start. The purpose of the purple bar and the fact that lights are a gameplay element could be emphasized. And i liked the end screen - wished for an intro screen as well to get to know your main character a bit more. Congratulations to your entry!

cool game with an amazing atmosphere!

Submitted

Very coll and atmospheric game.
The ideas you had are really well implemented!

Submitted

Loved the plot-twist at the end of the game! Great game!

Submitted

Cool game! Really liked the overall feeling while playing it. Glad I did beat it! :)

Submitted

Very well made. Was a lot of fun to play.  A bit shorter than I anticipated.

I took me a while to realise the light was how you replenish the purple bar.

Other than that, well done

Submitted

Amazing art! Loved the sounds too and how they tied in with the game. Very fun playthrough

Submitted

Love it. Very spoopy!

Submitted

Great game, nicely done.  It is just that the game is a bit too short, I would have liked to see a bit more, because it was fun to play.

Submitted

This game made me jump scare, ha-ha. Amazing job!

The game is really fun to play and looks amazing! The only thing that stood out to me was the demon creature's ai. They just sort of run into walls and are super easy to dodge. Other then that great game :)

Thank you! Yeah you're totally right about the demon creature's ai, it totally needed more balancing. 

Submitted

I like the spooky feel of the game. The visuals and the music help in creating that atmosphere.

Thank you!
