Game description
A 2D horror game developed over seven days in November with a primary team of two. In this game, you play as a lonely man in suburbia, simply trying to complete his to-do list while slowly losing his mind.
Theme interpretation
Secrets were seen as deep, dark truths the character preferred to keep hidden. They added an element of mystery to the game, inviting players to uncover the story of what happened in the house.
Wildcards used (optional)
Limit your colors to 4

great atmosphere, excellent sound / background audio. Minor nuisance that the font was unreadably small on the list, but doesnt detract from the experience.
A little linear. I would had liked a little more exploration and less hand holding but an interesting experience. I agree with David, the list is too small, even in full-screen mode. Also, not sure if a bug, but in the hallway it always says chores completed 1/1 despite of what I have in the list.
Pretty scary, great atmosphere and graphics. Only nitpick would be the list is bit hard to read.
I like the concept, creepy. Art is great, limited color palet works good!
Deeply disturbing! It definitely IS a horror game. First horror game in a long time that actually generates horror!!
A creeping, uncanny, unnerving sense that something is profoundly wrong, flows in every detail of this. I think it could benefit from having choice. I replayed it twice, just to make sure. Great work, scary stuff!
loved the concept
You know, you'd think I would have figured out what I am after the first mirror scene, but for me it was the fact that I kept my mop in the hallway. I see the kind of thing you guys were going for and I love the interpretation of the theme. Especially having only done it in a week!
