How does you game fit the theme?
The way a little girl deals with her fears, imagining horrible nightmares that maybe don't exist.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes!!! All the code, art, and some of the sounds are made fully from scratch.

What a spooky house ! :o
The game have a real potential. The mix 2D/3D is pretty cool ! I was quite disturbed by the "shhh" in the audio but it's because we see through the camera's eyes I guess ? Perhaps replace it by some "mecanic mouvement" audio can be better, because the background music seems pretty nice !
I'm in love with illustrations, does the artist have an Artstation or something ?
Thank you so much for your feedback! it really means a lot! thats a very nice input, thank you!
and yeah! you can check the project's concept art and artstation page: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/wJmA9X

cool story, loved the graphics, great effort! keep it up
would appreciate if u check out my game too ;)
means a lot! thank you!
Loved the OG Resident Evil style camera, and the visuals are actually amazing, I think I was doing well, but then I couldn't get to Teddy because I was stuck at the ceiling.
Noted! we''ll be sure to fix that recurring bug! thank you for playing!
I really loved the idea and the art style! But i had some difficulties understanding what to do. Like when i died for the first time the info what to do just became random letters. I am not sure if this was intendet but at this point I couldn't find toys anymore and there weren't any open windows anymore. In my third try nothing happend at all. Not even the bar in the upper left corne decreased. I wasn't sure if this was supposed to happen and i just didn't get the story but i thought ist was a bit sad. Oh and i had the bug with the random flying too. But over all the game was fantastic, espacially for a week. I'd really like to see more of this, because i think this really has potential.
thank you so so much! noted your feedback, thanks for playing!
Cool visuals and game art!
This is a really great game
I like the art of this game
Really nice game ! Like the graphic and mood :)
The art is amazing, the best I've seen so far in this game jam.
The gameplay mechanics are also well-thought out.
However, after 3 runs I wasn't able to find any of the toys... I kept running around in circles, opening everything and closing every window I saw until I gave up. I have no idea how you are supposed to finish this game... I don't really get why you can open all the drawers and chest if you can't find anything inside it.
I also encountered a bug where the little girl started flying above the floor, higher and higher until I couldn't get through door.
Overall, I'm still amazed by the graphics and sound design and think this game has a lot of potential, which makes it even more frustrating. You should consider helping the player to find at least the first toy or make it clear how to find them.
Again, fantastic job on the art direction ;)
EDIT: also the camera needs some reworking ;)
The game art for this is fantastic! Amazing atmosphere!
Wow, the art is amazing! I really like how you managed to put 2D in 3D environments, it fits really well. The atmosphere is cool, scary but not too much. It suits a child mind, I think. :)
Great job!!
thank you for playing, your feedback means so much! :') well be sure to check your submission as well!
The game must win! At least for the graphics. 1) I found a bug. I could fly and pass through textures. 2) so it should be that the bear treated fear, and then began to wiggle even more?
Omg! thanks for the nice comment and feedback! it means a lot! well be sure to check these out and update as soon as the jam ends! thank you!
The game is very cool and I enjoyed playing it! The only issue I have is, that the camera kind of confused me sometimes when it switched... I wasn't quite sure where I was going after a switch in perspective... but other than that Great Job at creating this game!
Thank you for your feedback! it means the world to us!
