I like those Pokemon like graphics

One thing I am still wondering about: Did the mayor's ghost kill the caretaker so that he/she would also become a ghost and could help the others?

Developer

😧

I’ll admit, that’s not what I was thinking… but I can see how you might think that! I was thinking they invited the caretaker to help the townspeople because they were a ghost ALREADY. 😅😆🥲😭

I won’t lie though… I kinda like that. Mind if I borrow that? Dark as it is… I’m kinda loving it. And you’re the first to ever have a fan theory of my game!🤣

The End is kinda sad 

Developer

It is, I went back and forth a lot trying to determine how things should end. Sorry if it bummed you out, but I hope you still enjoyed it!

A good use of GB Studio, with your own graphics, bravo! On the other hand, the game is a bit too talkative for me, who also doesn't know English very well :/ 

But I recognize the work done, and it runs perfectly on my GB DMG so once again congratulations ;)

Oh my... thank you for sharing those screenshots, that's amazing to see something I made on an actual DMG!

I admit, like I mentioned, I didn't make all of my own graphics; all of the interiors are mine, and some of the exteriors, but  the trees and fences and sprites are sadly not mine. I've given fully credit on the game page to make sure everyone is given the appropriate thanks.

Thanks so much for trying it, and thanks SO much for those pictures! That didn't just make my day, but my MONTH! :-D
