How does you game fit the theme?
We interpreted “You are not alone” in several ways. John is not alone in his grandpa’s haunted mansion, and Rosemary the ghost has a crisis over being left alone, but with reassurance from John, and the appearance of his Grandpa’s ghost to join her in the afterlife, Rosemary is not alone anymore.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code, art, and music was made from scratch. The sound effects were free assets.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The art, the music, the gameplay, just challenging enough to be fun but still able to scrape my way through the last encounter on my second try, absolutely beautiful story about loss and coming to terms with grief, the attention to detail was amazing and I absolutely adore that I can interact with nearly every object and get unique dialogue, ordinarily this where I give pros and cons so here goes:
pros: everything
cons: nothing
I cannot find a single thing about this game to even nitpick, absolutely phenomenal entry.
this game is AMAZING, i didnt wanna stop playing (even after I kept dying on the final level), giving very undertale vibes, in music, gameplay, and audio, which I loved.

Really nice game, nicely polish, and i love the humor you added to the story.
The boss fight is really well done. Top-notch!
I love the way you guys interpreted this theme! Every part of this game is great - the mechanics, storyline, art style, sound design, and music.
Also, the way every one of Rosemary's attacks from the first two rooms are used in the final battle, is really cool. I might steal that the next time I create a boss fight - as well as the arms reaching across the room, haha.
Really nice game! top notch pixel art graphics, fun and effective story, increasingly hard and intense boss fight, well done!
Such a good game! The character graphics were fantastic, and I loved the story you managed to tell in the short time you had. The music was also very good, and it complemented the intense gameplay very well. Overall, an amazing submission!
Very nice pixel art.
very nice art, tbh probably one of the best pixel art environment I’ve seen for this jam. Good job guys
Awesome game, I love the pixelart. I didn't expect a boss fight, but it was really well executed, challenging but not impossible, very balanced. I love the ending :)
It's really quite impressive that such a short game got me this engaged from the start. Beatiful concept and execution.
!!!!!!SPOIL ALERT!!!!!!
hard mode unlocked ?!! that wasn't already ?? hahaha or i'm very bad to dodging things haha ; really good game bro , happy that hubert has came back haha :)
Nice game, the visuals are great and I really enjoyed the bullet hell gameplay!
Great game, very fun to play
It's very interesting how the game's style looks like it's pixel art... but it's not ! Really love it ! The sound design makes the experience really nice ! Maybe the boos was a bit too hard for me (or maybe that's just because I have skill issues ahaha)
really liked this game, it was really fun to play and had a lot of fun at the boss fight,
overall it was really fun.
that was the hardest boss fight of my life. Amazing story cool art nice music just all arounda great game! lots of fun
Wow she is a REALLY angry ghost! It was so cool! And the art and sound made it even better!
Great Game! I love the pixel art and core mechanics, 10/10 would play if you guys ever decided to turn it into a full game!
Wow, that's beautiful
