I got stuck on the fourth floor. Very spooky though!

Just another horror game on Itch? Well, I didn't play the whole game so I cannot answer the question, but it looks and feel a lot like the rest of the games. An empty house, scary soundeffects, things to pick up in an predetermined order etc. Anyway, good job!

Developer

Well yeah it's not the most original game gameplay whise, we tried to do something cool with the house changing while the player progresses in the game, but we couldn't do much more than this, we're all studying in university and I'm also working full time, we started two weeks late and three of the people that worked on this never took part in a gamejam before

I love horror games, well done! It's those subtle details that make the spooky vibe so effective. Looking forward to more from you!

Developer

Thank you!

I really liked the 3D graphics and vibe in this one, I'm a sucker for horror games. I was expecting more a jump scare at the end it felt a little lack luster. But otherwise great job!

Developer

Yeah the ending was made in the last 1 to 2 hours before the deadline, we were still having problem til the last five minutes, so we chose the simplest solution, originally the ending should have been a bit different

Dang, didn’t know it was a scary game until that thunder! Not a fan of horror games and I’m certainly an easy target (doesn’t take much to spook me) but I still enjoyed the storyline. Well done, I liked how interactive the world was.

Developer

Thank you!

I liked the setting, I was tense during the game. I liked that they used a reference to an Italian word. One of our ideas was to do something similar, but in Portuguese, where scale is also used as a verb to select a team for the game

It was a little hard to find the hook every floor and text was staying well behind the events.  I don't like horror games and I still  finished it.

an interesting and spooky game! the fact i could open so many closets and dressers and they were all empty really lent itself to the vibe. well done!

Thank you! Yeah the sensitivity is higher than what it was in the editor for some reason, and we would have liked to include a menu with some options we but ran out of time

Creepy! :D It's actually a nice game, it's really a  very creepy atmosphere with all the mannequins standing in dark corners and with everything getting weirder and weirder... nice job on this one!

After I got the key in the bathroom I didn't what to do. Also, after I went upstairs, I was stuck on the stairs and couldn't come down to continue the game. But the environment and the atmosphere created were great :)

Thank you for playing the game, btw in the attic there's a trigger on the side that moves the story forward. I guess the trigger wasn't big enough, or maybe it wasn't intuitive to go there.
