Impressive creepy little maze hunter game. Beautiful art, I love the title and the take on the theme, well done!
And if you haven't had a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would appreciate any feedback, thanks!
There is a bug where if you play as the hunter sometimes the escapist teleports trough the wall
Yeah we noticed that shortly after it was already too late to change it lol, thanks for the feedback though we hope you enjoyed the game!
I like that you made an ingame tutorial, and that you can play as the escapist and the hunter. I had the most fun playing as the hunter, it was much easier. It took me a moment to realize that the half circle around my hunter was the tracker. Nice ambient sound effects when you play as the escapist. The background "tv noise" effect is great for the atmosphere of the game!
Thank you for the feedback!
We're glad you enjoyed playing our game and that you enjoyed the atmosphere we tried to make fit the game, thank you very much :)
I did a playthrough of this game:
Wow thank you!
We will be sure to check it out, if we decide to use any of your footage for marketing purposes we will reach out to you before hand and if you are fine with us doing so we will credit you properly, thanks again!
Fun to play and to go after the human :o when playing as the monster :D
the monster is very slow though :o
overall, well made !
Thank you for your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed playing our game!
Super cool atmosphere! The game felt slow at times but was still a fun play. It was also a cool detail how you could pick your role. Overall good job!
What a nice atmospheric game. The noises indicating teleportation were especially helpful.
This game aptly demonstrates GDevelop's lighting capabilities. I really liked seeing the hard shadows form at the openings of passages, as well as the soft orange and green lights from the items.
It's a bit slow-paced for a chase to the death. It's good that there is an interval to toggling the light, and the time before you can turn it on is at a good place, but the time before you can turn the light off again could be a bit shorter. It's a bit awkward sitting in the bright light for four seconds, seeing the hunter just chillin'.
All in all, good work!
What a wonderful review, thank you so much for your feedback we're glad you had fun playing our game!
We'll be sure to check out your submission as soon as we possibly can to give you some feedback, best of luck :)
The game has a pretty good concept for a survival horror, but the fact that you can't see where exactly you are supposed to go makes it a really tough game to play. Just when I thought I was safe from the Hunter, I run into a dead end, and the Hunter finds me and I get a game over.
Thanks for the feedback, I think I already replied to your feedback in the Gdev discord but just to sum it up again, the game is supposed to be hard to beat, we built it with speedrunning it in mind (once you grasp how to play and use your abilities to your advantage and stuff like that) We should of probably made it a little easier overall though as it is a gamejam game lol so if people can't last long they might not be able to experience the game fully and that will affect their voting, but we're still hopefull we'll achieve a good placing, best of luck with your submission, thanks again! :)
Impressive game! The art style is captivating, and I believe the tutorial level effectively conveys the mechanics. However, for future iterations, I'd suggest keeping the tutorial concise. Also, I noticed that the player's character seems to experience fatigue – perhaps due to holding down the Shift key. To address this, have you considered implementing a stamina bar? It could add an interesting layer of strategy to the game. Great work so far!
Thank you for playing our game!
We appreciate your feedback, we agree that the tutorial could use some work and the stamina bar aspect is a very good idea which we should include in any updates of the game going forward once the voting period of the gamejam is over. Thanks once again for your feedback and playing our game we're glad you enjoyed it, we will be sure to return the favour with your submission, have a great rest of your day :)
Cool concept and it's really neat that you can choose between one of the two roles to play. That being said, it can feel a bit frustrating at times to get stopped in your tracks, though I understand that's the mechanic of the game. Still, nice game and good luck! If you have a chance please check out and rate my game as well. :)
Yeah we wanted to make the game really hard to beat as with no checkpoints or save features and the loot spawning in different spots everytime you die, we was essentially trying to encourage speedrun attempts of the game once players roughly figured out how to actually play the game. We're glad you liked the fact that you can choose what role to play, the Hunter isn't as fleshed out as the Escapist though sadly as we started to run out of time towards the end but we plan to make the game two player in the future so one player controls the Escapist and one controls the Hunter, we will make some quality of life changes too to help combat any bugs or lag in the game and to hopefully make it a little easier to understand for those who may struggle with how to play!
Thanks again for playing our game we really appreciate that and will be sure to return the favour with your submission, best of luck! :)
Just rehashing what I said before, I think you're far too slow as the Hunter and being blind as the Escapist just feels not satisfying. Either way, I love the concept and I love even more that you can play as both characters! High marks!
Yeah so the Hunter was one of the last things we started working on and sadly we ran out of time hence why the Escapist character is much more fleshed out, when playing as the Hunter you should still be able to run like you can with the Escapist and additionally you can also Press E to Teleport closer to the Escapist, doing so has a cooldown though, don't forget neither of you can move whilst the lights are ON and when playing as the Hunter the Escapist is played by AI so the slow movement you felt could be attributed to the AI constantly turning the lights ON and OFF, overall we agree with you though.
Thanks for playing our game and we appreciate your compliments and feedback, we will make sure to do the same with your submission! :)
bro a really hard but amazing game!
Made sure to give a rating
Can you spend a moment to check out my game too?
Yeah we made the game with speedrunning in mind so it's meant to be hard lol, we are glad that you still enjoyed playing it though!
We will be sure to check out your game and give you some feedback, I played it a little last night and I LOVE the art style so great work! I will be sure to go into more detail though once I leave my actual review on your submissions page, thanks again! :)
thanks a lot man
Nice one, escaping the hunter is a really tasking but rewarding when you manage to escape it's chase.
Well done.
Thank you we really appreciate your feedback!
