A mysterious and actually scary experience, great job here!
I went as creepy as possible... Thank you for trying out the game!
I was properly spooked by this one, nicely done!
Thank you, I tried my best.
Scary stuff.. well done.
Thank you!
People need to learn to stop going to places where "no one has returned from alive."
Classic game where the hero is too brave for his own good.
This beyond spooky! This is terrifying! Nice job!
I hope I didn't spooked you too hard...
why is there cocaine in the lab dude
Who spilled the good stuff man?
One of the few entries that actually had me spooked 😱
I really pushed the whole atmosphere and the jumpscare! Thank you for trying out my game!
I was at the edge of my seat the whole time! Sound design and slow pace of the game compliment each other really well. Good job!
Thank you so much! The slow pace goes with the whole helplessness the player has. I am really pleased that people enjoy the whole atmosphere.
Great atmosphere and I liked the simplicity of the game. Very impressive for 3 days. Nice work!
I tried my best to make something simple, due to the time limit I had. Thank you for playing my game!
Love the atmosphere, the monster was really on point! Solid entry ٩(◕‿◕)۶
Thank you so much!
Nice atmosphere! I like the concept. Really feels like a gb game. I loved the monster sound too!
Thank you for playing my game! I am happy that it all worked out!
I definitely got spooked when I saw the mutant just standing there on the other side of the wall. I missed it on my first playthrough, which made it even spookier. The part about "oh, these are human bones" then putting them in the inventory made me laugh. You mentioned you usually make turn based game. Good on you for stepping outside your comfort zone for a game jam. Nice job!
Thank you for trying my game! I just wanted to try something I haven't done before with the limited time I had, so I made a simple slenderman style game. Really happy that you had fun with what I made!
I really liked the sfx here and the monster! Unfortunately the game would often bug out when a dialogue popped up for me :'(
What happens when it bugs out? How did you played it? I haven't had any bug with the dialogues...
So when a dialogue popped up the game would randomly freeze - I could not see what I did except like interacting with the objects. It would not close the dialogue and the game would not respond at all. Tried all the keys on my keyboard and with controller too to see if it was somehow related to the inputs, but I couldn't pin it down :X
I am not sure what caused that...
If you still want to try the game I would suggest to download the rom and play it with your preferred gameboy emulator.
I am not sure either,,, It might have just been an issue on my end,,, Yeah I will try that!!
Nice tense atmosphere you got here, very solid entry. Congrats!
Thank you so much! I tried all the tricks in the book(that I know).
I like the tension that the monster sounds added.
I had a lot of fun making the sounds actually. I am glad you liked it!
Really cool, I got two of the 4 endings (I don't get how I could get the other 2), the background noise really adds to the atmosphere and the monster design is a bit scary, specially when it chases you. I admit I got jumpscared when I tried to approach it and it came running towards me at the bottom right of the map haha. Nice game, really impressive for 3 days!
Thank you for playing my game! Yeah I put a lot on the atmosphere, it does a lot to a game like that.
If you got the endings by getting items, think what happens if you don't.
For 3 days worth of work, I think this is impressive! I think you did a good job the jump scares and the sound effects of the monster moving and munching really helped sell the atmosphere and tension. The only con was gameplay wise I wished the items could be used more meaningful but I think you ran out of time. Good work!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really tried to plan what exactly I wanted for the 3 days I had. I really didn't have the time to do anything more complicated.
The jumpscare got me a lil bit
I was betting on the jumbscare! I hope you had fun!
loved the sound design and atmosphere
Coming from you means a lot! Thank you!
Hey! Cool game, I loved the atmosphere and the jump scares. You got me good the first time I got attacked. Nice work, definitely feels like a GB game. Thanks for making this, I had fun!
I am really glad that you liked it!
