Let people know how long this project has been going, or share a bit of its history.
First off, here are the controls:
Arrows to move
Shift to run
Move close to an item to pick it up
After picking up an item, use Z to attack
Hold down Up to progress when character is not visible
Secondly, "Things They Say (Part 1)," is a vertical, 2d, psychological horror game, and also my first game ever. I've wanted to make a horror game probably my whole life, and FFS gave me a reason to give it a try. TTS (Part 1) is very short, very much a rough draft, but I'm excited to share it and release more of it in the near future.

Very creepy, cool visuals and atmosphere!
Thank you 😄
Creepy game! Interesting stuff, but somehow Z-button attacking wasn't working for me.
Was it after or before you picked up the knife? Sometimes if you press Z before you pick it up, it disables the ability to attack and pick up the weapon.
I managed to pick up the knife, but no attacking after that. Hmm
There isn't an attack animation yet so that might be it. You should still be able to destroys enemies
Also thank you for taking the time to play my game! I really appreciate it
Thats was creepy... It finishes when it says "it won't happen again". Is it supposed to be this way? . . To be honest I didn't understand whats going on) But it was scary. Hope to see how plot twists
Thanks! I'm not entirely sure of the story right now either, so I'm glad the creepiness came across well. That's really what I was focusing on. And there should have been one more scene after "it won't happen again." Was your character still visible where it ended?
This game is a super cool, creepy, 8-bit style game! It's great for a rough draft and I can't wait to see more in the future. It's a really great start to a thriller/horror game.
This is a super dope creepy game, and Im really fuckin excited for more installments. Its pretty good for a rough draft and definitely reminds me of like, an 8-bit horror or thriller game.
