Fun idea!

Also, you got me.

spoilers I'm curious—is there more to this than exploration and the inevitable jumpscare? I've played a couple of times, and can't seem to find a rag for the suit of armor…

But maybe there isn’t one, and it’s just a brilliant distraction to draw our focus into exploration. In which case, it’s effective.

Thanks!

Spoilery response:

There isn't any more to this than the exploration and jumpscare. I only started writing at about 2am on the night of the deadline so it's pretty much just the jumpscare and as much material as (I hope) it takes to keep the player occupied until it's triggered. C'est une très petite mort!

Can I ask if there is a way to successfully navigate the jumpscares? (I know it’s in the name so maybe not!)

Or

Can I at least find the poor hungry wolfman some candy? :D

Rot13 because I can't work out how to add a details tag of my own: Ab. Gur whzcfpnerf pbzr jvgu gur ubhfr.

How did you do that, by the way? I've managed it on a game page before but the option to type in HTML doesn't appear in these comment text boxes.

Ok thank you! :D

Yeah I don’t know why itch hides the option for details tags, it’s such a useful thing to have. The only way I’ve found to do it is to activate that option your settings and then hand type the html commands out. This page gives some good instructions on how to do it https://itch.io/t/2151831/adding-spoiler-text-to-your-game-description
