God damn it, almost couldtn't sleep. 5/5

Great tone, atmosphere, handmade dialogs.

 You have a talent to do that. Maybe keep working to perfect it. Really enjoyed!

Really enjoyed the art style and tone of the cutscenes (would have been nice if they didn't start on a blank screen though!). Some of the text screens during the game disappeared too quickly to read. During the first level I went back to through the graveyard and had to walk all the way back up to the middle and down again -- would be nice to have a run option (even if it's just in the time mode).

Nice submission!

Woooww! This was sick!!! I love the Lovecraftian story, a lot! Not to say the stealthy horror vibes, it merged very well with the aesthetics. I`m really happy to have played it. 5/5! 

I really liked the handmade design, it's quality.

I liked the horror setting, the game makes you explore the map, I really liked that. I just found the sound of the steps a little delayed, but it doesn't interfere with the game. Congratulations on the work! :D

Yoo I'm not gonna lie, your game is one of the best ones i've seen so far. the whole art style u picked and the game play goes well together very much. good job :D 

I like the mood / tone your game set from the start, and it was a good story. The music on the menu and at the end of game was rocking. Oh, and that initial phone ring in the story line, startled the heck out of me...it almost threw me off my chair ...  haha.  =) But it speaks the mood that you have set from the start.

Admittedly, I didn't use much of the crouch option except for stealing that key in the second scene. I really liked the maze and the lean function came in handy. A crystal count would be a nice to have on the UI, and possible a count down timer. But the SFX were great indicators (when using the watch.)

And it was a bit of fun exploring for diamonds over the map.

The ambient noises in the scenes, set me on edge a little, not sure if because there wasn't much variation, but it did add to the mood.

I'm unsure if it was intentional, but the footsteps felt like time was ticking away as you were walking...which was a great.

The artwork was very unique and I liked it. I could see this game evovling into quite a tale if pursued, make sure to continue with the artwork.

Overall a good game! Thank you.

Good ambience, lots of tension, really great drawing as well! A HUD with the number of diamonds or some indication of how many I have would be good (maybe it was indicated and I missed it!). Also maybe an idea of how far the cultists see would be good too (they seem to be far more nearsighted then originally expected!). Great game, great job building on the theme :)

I like the ambiance & the mood you have created. The art, both 2D & 3D are well made. Enjoyed playing the game. Well Done! :)

Wow Love the drawing , yes there a sense of tension there, Kept me  on my toes , especially when you hear the creatures getting close  .   I will be adding this to my collection . Well done

I really enjoyed this! I love stealth games, and I got that feeling of "oh shit are they gonna catch me," especially in tighter spaces like the mansion. The atmosphere was on point especially with the constant enemy breathing and mood lighting. I especially liked the story being told through drawings, gave an old-school type of vibe. The only gripe I had was it was hard to know if a skelly could see me or not, and if they could I had no way of escaping. Anyways, great job on your guys' first game!

Awesome atmosphere! And the drawings, really cool. This is impressive, especially for a first game.

Though I'm totally not the right player for this, where's me shotgun?? ;) I've never had much patience for stealth operations, I'm more of a shoot-first-ask-later kind of player. I will try it out again, I didn't make it that far yet.

A few comments:

• I find it a bit difficult to know when an enemy is going to see me or not. By the time I realize I'm often dead. This might be partly because my frame rate is *very slow*, even at lower resolutions (I have an old-ish Mac).
• Could totally appreciate a Save option. :) I guess that's not an easy feature to implement.
• I found a glitch with the boat at the back: first it seems to be floating in mid-air, then as I approach it, it snaps back into place. Kind of works with the eerie atmosphere.

• With the door closed, saying that there's a key nearby, I could pick the key without lifting the stone (and never seeing the key). Which was kind of confusing, and made moving the stone pointless.

Anyway, really nice, I stopped at this beach to enjoy the view in between deaths:

;)

Big fan of the art style - especially the intro.
I'll be looking at the code to see how this was done.

That was definitely a creepy game. The mood you conveyed was outstanding.  The controls were great, and while I didn't memorize all of the controls at the start, the helpful reminders for each contextual action were definitely helpful in helping me proceed. One thing I wish you had added was the transition from crouching to standing. Like a Lerp of some kind maybe?

This was an amazing game. All the artwork was simply incredible and the gameplay was fun and engaging. I really enjoyed the ambient sounds that played in the background because it helped me immerse myself in the world. Also, the story was great and the sound design was on point. Your team did a great job with this game and I am really impressed.

Some things to take into consideration for future games is some optimization. While the game ran fine on my PC, I noticed each grass blade was calculating rotation to face the player and (I could be wrong) but it seemed that there was no drop off to that, so I can imagine that many calculations bottle-necking the CPU. I would suggest either limiting those calculations to pieces of grass within a certain radius or not bothering with the calculations. Other than that small tweak I thought this submission was outstanding. Good job and keep up the great work.

P.S. I am no expert in this industry so those are just my thoughts and they may be wrong. Take it with a grain of salt. Thanks

Really awesome game jam submission! Definitely feels like a short movie. 10/10 on the story, very clever and great way to convey cutscenes with drawings. The drawings were incredibly well done! Definitely felt Metal Gear Solid vibes sneaking and stealthing around. The stopping-time mechanic is  a pretty great mechanic that compliments a stealth game, surprised it hasn't been done before as far as I know. The game was also surprisingly pretty creepy, the lean controls were very nice and added to the horror  feel of the game by peeking around corners. The controls were very smooth and responsive. The instructions were communicated clearly which I really appreciate. I wasn't sure where to go in the beginning but I wasn't lost for too long. I definitely knew my way around in the second introduction to the map though.

Really awesome game!

Love the atmosphere of this one!! I'm having a lot of fun playing it, it's intuitive, fun, and it has a brilliant mood. Will definitely continue playing this, and will return with more comments!! 
The only tiny thing that i found confusing so far, is that it's not all that easy to tell whether you're standing or crouching, but i guess it's one of those things you get more used to the more you play. Other than that, i'm enjoying this a lot! 

Really great atmosphere! I also liked all the models a lot, especially the enemies. Really captured the classic feeling of hiding from a terrible creature. Nice job!

The visual (especially the hand drawn images) looks awesome!

You did an excellent job building the mansion map and the atmosphere. The story was quite compelling as well. Great job :)

Cheers!
