I love the games atmosphere.

Developer

Thanks!

So I played your game and the video will be up on my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SUCHMISHChannel

So overall, I would like to say that the audio is really good. But I do think that this game could be better by making the gears/gems more apparent by highlighting them and offering an options menu so people can adjust the graphics (it ran at 14 FPS max on my pc).  I think also adding an end goal would be helpful for the player so they know when the game is done.  Overall, good game!!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I will try to add what you suggested after the jam ends.

Uhh I think you put up the wrong download for mac users.

Oh, I mistakenly uploaded another game of mine, sorry!

Submitted

Awesome stuff! The game really felt tense at times and I think you did a great job of capturing the tone of the original creepypasta. The only problem I had occurred at the game over screen, wherein I was unable to click on any of the options. But still, I think this was a great horror game and a fun experience!

Developer

Glad you like it! The game over screen is buggy and I will fix that as soon as the jam ends.

Thanks for playing! I have rated your game, cool concept, and beautiful graphic!

Submitted

This game is actually pretty spooky. Good job!
Rate my game too if you have time :)

Developer

Thanks! I have rated your game, really like the art style, and had a lot of fun with it!

Great job. Definitely had me on edge. For some reason I could not jump high enough to collect the gems but then again I may be doing it wrong. Still enjoyed running away from the scary figure haha. I liked the illusion created by the maze that it is infinite and you are trapped forever.

Developer

Thanks for playing! To collect gems, you just need to hover on it and press E to collect.

Once I started playing this I was terrified lol. I had to tell myself it wasn't real.

That being said great job on crafting a horrifying experience, the sounds, flickering lights, and realism really make it!

Developer

Glad you like it!

The flashing lights made it so better! Nice job!

Developer

Thanks!

Things I liked:

-movement was smooth.

-sound effects were great.

-Creepy thing I didn't even know was in the game before it was too late.

Things I would have changed:

-The blinking lights, they are a nice touch but a bit jarring to look at the whole game, I would try to increase the minimum flicker to keep the same effect, but less stress to your eyes.

-The repeating screaming (which might come from that creepy thing I found) was looping a bit much for me. if it was more spaced out it would really creep the player out because you never know when its going to make that sound.

-Gems, I would have placed a gem right in front of the player at the start. It would let them know what they are trying to find. also maybe a max gem amount, the maze is large there is no way of knowing how many there really are, leading to some unnecessary back tracking.

Over All: loved it! Great work!

Developer

Thank you for the detailed feedback, it helps me a lot! Yes, there are still a lot of bugs in this game and I will definitely fix it after the jam!

Submitted

My poor computer exploded into an incredible display of lights and sounds while running this game, but not before getting absolutely jumpscared haha! Great job!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

very spooky!! I got really lost and couldn't find my way and kept running into the blue figure everywhere I went, sadly I could only manage to get one gem before dyin lol, good job!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

WOW, SCARY!! I couldn't even find one gem and this blue monster came out of nowhere. I thought all I had to do was find the gems, didn't see that coming. Everything is perfect. I might have appreciated it more if I'm good at First-person Games.

Developer

Thanks for kind words!
