I really like how creative your idea is, and I love all the art too. I only had sleep paralysis once (or like, there was only one instance where I was seeing things), and the game actually reminded me of that. While I agree that the difficulty could be tweaked, I think this is a commendable effort :)
Great theme! I think it has potential!
A good one.... Keep it up!
Really struggled progressing at all, but it looks like you are already aware of that. I just wish I was able to experience more of it! Looks nice
very nice game, but absurdly difficult.Not that I can say anything about that.
we are in the same boat)
yep sure seems like it.
it's so hard XD
i don't have the willpower to go further, but i think it's cool
But sometimes there were trees in front of the enemies and we don't see them coming :(
yes, i will make trees thinner in future updates. My intension was that you must fear to stuck behind the tree
Well done!!!!
Good Job!
The game was a little unclear to me but I figured it out after reading description.
Fun to play, doesn’t really feel like horror, keep up the good work tho!
Great idea, and I love the music!
The game is quite hard, but I think you already know it. It'd be great to tweak and polish it, as it has a good potential!
Good job :)
I really wish to proceed further in a game, but it's way too hard, the first enemy after the ghost Is insane XD I have no idea if it's due to playing on a laptop or my newbie skills. I think you should give more time to a player before killing him/slow down these flying enemies/increase the radius of the light. Although I wasn't able to play a lot, I am amazed of what you've done so quickly. The mystique, ambient atmosphere is built perfectly, and the music is so juicy for this style of game. Loved it and it's sad it's too difficult, hopefully, enemies will be nerfed in the future
Yeah, i am very sad that i did such mistake with difficulty. You can watch full walkthrough here. I am sorry.
Are you going to update the game after the ratings are over, though? In any case, don't worry, apart from difficulty, the game looks cool
Yes, i am going to make an easy edition and add some more enemies, add more characters and expand the story.
Then I'll probably return one day back to test the game by myself. Good luck, though, the potential of the game is high!
The ambience is superb but i can't get past the first enemy :(
I am sorry about that, you can watch full walkthrough here
Wow! The ambience and the art is just stunning! I would love to see what you could have done with more time to refine it!
Fits the theme perfectly, and with an original spin! Really haven't seen any games that concentrate on the psychological aspect of losing control, and it's quite refreshing!
Good job, I rather enjoyed the short experience! +1
Very nice game, you took the theme in a really original way and the game was really fun! The atmosphere was great and the music was really immersive. My only criticism is that it would be great if the enemies had some visual feedback when you killed them since currently they just disappear which is not very satisfying. Other than that small issue, the game is really amazing, great job!
Thank you for your comment, i also wanted to implement sound for enemies and sleepstate but ran out of time. Again, thx, for the review.
Very unique take on the theme, and very cohesive visuals and sound! The experience is very immersive, it truly feels terrifying when you lose control of your character and have to start frantically searching for the ghosts that attack you. Nice!
Wow thanks for your comment it was exactly what i was trying to achive!
Love the art style.
The encounters with ghosts heading toward you was a bit frustrating at times when the controls locked up next to trees and ghost spawned behind them. Not having any indication of how many ghosts were still to come made it a bit hard to tell when the character could walk again.
Might just be preference but i'd have prefered to have been able to take more than 1 hit before losing, but that's probably just my inexperience at this sort of game talking.
no, you are tottaly right about ghosts and overall difficulty, just wasnt enogh time to fix it. Sorry.
No need to apologise, 48 hours isn't very much time and you did well with the time you had.
The atmosphere is very chilling which is really cool. I liked having to look around with the light and having things jump out! I still struggle with the big enemies that that seem to take more clicks. Over all good game. :)
I didn't read the "How does your game fit the theme?" section until after I played and assumed that A and D were broken in some way. I think having a prompt remain on screen advertising that you can move, but not allowing the player to move, though it fits the theme, may be a mistake from a design standpoint.
Man, smth is wrong at your side. You can move with A and D but not in the sleep state.
What seems more likely?
1. There is something wrong with the keyboard I'm using (Test: A, Test: D)
2. There is something wrong with the code you wrote in 48 hours
All that said, I think if the documentation were clearer and it worked as intended, it is a great idea. Even as it was I could survive for quite a long time without moving.
Text me which system you're playing on, which browser and I'll test what might have gone wrong.
Windows 7, Google Chrome, 3.6GHz AMD CPU, Asus Motherboard, 16GB RAM, 750 GB SSD
thank you.
Nice to see a horror game submitted! So spoopy 2 scrd to play! :) Nice job!
