Game description
In Creepshow, a puzzle horror game, explore the dark cave and search for the secret items Chester the Clown demands, revealed as silhouettes on paper at his eerie booth. The clock is ticking, and if you don’t collect everything in time, Chester will come after you. Keep him satisfied, or risk becoming his next victim.

Don’t keep Chester waiting—he hates to be disappointed.

Theme interpretation
In CreepShow, the theme "Secrets" is reflected in the silhouetted items, randomly hidden throughout the cave for players to uncover.

Wildcards used (optional)

Speed Run

Make time the enemy

One of my favorite games from this jam! The tension builds up perfectly, the sound design is spot-on, the level design is clever, and the core mechanic is easy to understand but still challenging. The only issue? My wife came running and I had to explain why I screamed. Her feedback, in case it’s helpful: "You got scared by a jam game? It must be really good then!".

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the game, and your wife's reaction is the ultimate compliment!

I got stuck on the very first round looking for the item for a while. On future rounds, it wasn't so hard though. At least it didn't feel like such a long time on following rounds, I feel because I had more items to look for and might stumble upon multiple in one run around the place, that I can then come back to.

I made it to the 4 item collection round, got 2/4, but got stuck looking for the rest. I ran up the slide/hallway thing that takes you high up and found BOTH the items I had remaining. Just as I grab the first one I hear the goddamn bell tolling for the first time. I peered over down below but couldn't see much then I got jumpscared with the loud stinger cue and perceived to run down the slide to deposit one of the items. I ran around to try and loop back for the other while being chased but got lost and partway through that the clown stopped following behind me. I figured he went docile again because I deposited one of the items. Then he run into into me from the front which scared the shit out of me again. I finally, made it back up to the second item but realized the clown wasn't following me and decided to wait at the top to see which way he would come from. I waited for like 10 seconds before getting fucking murdered from behind for that godforsaken chuckling jumpscare. I saw you had a red door but I couldn't figure out how to get past it.

Scary game. Fun game.

I almost got through the last level, but the clown caught up with me. I didn't think he could really scare me, but I shuddered when I turned around and the clown was already behind me. The game is cool, I really liked it! 🤡

Developer

Glad to hear you liked it! Thank you for playing our game.

Oh how scared I was) very dark, got lost in the labyrinth a lot. Didn't have time to collect all the things. Thanks for the game. The environment keeps you on edge.

Developer

Haha, glad to hear we scared you! Thank you for trying out our game.

Thanks for game! It was fun and scary. The first part with the hidden objects seemed slow, but then it became fun.

The visuals are good. It's the LUMEN light artifacts that are stressful. (luminous materials should be duplicated with real light sources). Gameplay is tedious, took a long time to find items, and the "spoiler" killed me right before the final door... I don't want to replay for so long anymore. However, the mechanics of searching for items is interesting. Well done! =)

Thank you for the feedback! We agree it can feel a bit slow at times. Glad you enjoyed the visuals and item mechanics!

At first, I didn’t quite understand what was expected of me. Then I started figuring things out, and once it clicked, I was fully immersed, practically drooling from focus. At times, I forgot this was supposed to be a creepy game, yet other moments filled me with an inexplicable sense of dread—everything felt like it was going too smoothly. And then the clock chimed, and I froze, bracing myself for something to jolt me out of my comfort zone... It did. Excellent work!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Glad we could give you a bit of a fright!

This game had great presentation both with the highly realistic graphic and the presentation of Chester and the clock and the tunnels. Helped build that creepy vibe. While the gameplay was simple it was motivatingly creepy enough to keep you engaged while walking through the areas

Developer

Thanks so much! Really happy you liked it!

Great job with this game! I thought the level was immersive. The shop and clock were great pillars to ground the player to a central location and made navigating a dark cave possible. I was afraid the entire time despite nothing jumping out at me. Kudos you should be proud. 

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Glad to hear the atmosphere kept you immersed!

A nice horror game even if a bit repetitive at the beginning. On the artistic side I would have liked to see more of the circus in the environment and in the objects. The gameplay is good and you have a lot of fun.

Developer

We're glad you enjoyed the gameplay! Thank you for playing our game and for the feedback.

Oooky spooky! A little hard to see in the dark sometimes, but was good! Ooh and maybe a timer of some kind to know how much time you have left

Developer

Thank you for playing and sharing your feedback! We really appreciate it!
