I did like the idea and can see the resemblance to the original game. 

The sound design could use a bit more polish but it is heading in the right direction. The .exe version sounds miles better than the browser version! 

The graphics are simple but I think they work. Would be nice with some kind of shader or filter to increase the "spookiness". Maybe give it some VHS or PS1 vibes? :)

Not sure if there is a problem on my end, but I don't seem to encouter any enemies or obstacles. I just collect the urns and then I'm able to leave. Maybe implement the spider from the cover to create a stronger connection between the game and the artwork.

All fair comment, thanks. Not played with post-process filters, but seeing El-Dee's game, I can see it does add to the feel so I'll have a look into that.

Unfortunately, yeah, I ran out of time so didn't get as far as having the beasties come after you, not even inflicting pain, but I left the models that I created in the rooms. This will probably be no. 1 thing to fix after the voting ends. At least you provided some things for us to hack at in this jam!

I liked the sounds and music. Feels a lot like the original game. I noticed you can get a stuck on walls if you walk diagonally, which isn’t really much of a problem, it just feels a little weird. Other than that though it feels pretty good.

I like the feeling of walking around. Is it possible to leave? The message of having all urns keeps coming up.

Edit: the original game is strangely satisfying too, even if I don't understand what's going on.

Hey Hutch, thanks for playing. It's not possible to leave. You only need to get back to the entrance hall and it's done. If you pressed esc when the menu came up, that was a bug and you shouldn't be to continue to walk around. I didn't have time to put in an outside, or do the storyline, and a whole lot of other stuff!
