Very interesting art style and concept, well done!

Well done on your game, and congratulations on making a complete on in the timeframe. It was short but sweet and although I didnt immediately get the hang of it it turned out to be a neat concept, some comments:

-I would not rotate the trees! The art looks great but by rotating them in the 'correct' direction it creates a bit of a wonky look, you can look at examples the like of pokemon, they all keep their trees upright.
-The game could use some more depth, perhaps the zombies and priets come in alternating waves, I am not sure, but currently the game just lacks that bit of extra diversity in gameplay (something of which I am aware I am also guilty of myself!)
-The audio mix is a bit off, the footsteps are too loud, which is a bit annoying
-The concept feels a bit forced, why are zombies suddenly running away? Perhaps a concept like 'you try to convert the survivor in a zombie survival game' would've worked better. (Although  I do see that that is perhaps less creative.

Overall you made an interesting game though, with a concept that is definitely not often explored, well done!

Cool idea. I'd like to think that the priest is only trying to help you get better, but you keep running away from him. Ha ha! The ending is sweet (the wedding bells was a nice touch). Noticed a spelling mistake on the main menu, the volume slider doesn't appear to work and it's a little annoying not being able to pause the game and exit. Still had fun though.

I really enjoyed it. I had a similar thought to this when I was brain storming ideas so I'm glade someone made it.

It was not at all obvious what you were supposed to do. I was able to figure it out when I looked at the game's Itch page, but it would've been nice to have that information in-game. I thought that the yellow glow around the priest meant 'interactable' and I didn't know what the bar on the left represented.

Overall, it's a decent little game. For the most part the strategy is just to walk in circles, but the priest is fast enough that there's not no tension.

It seems to be pretty bug-free (aside from the odd janky hitbox)

Like the idea and the backstory, but the game itself is a little bit short.

Also, escaping the priest from healing you is not really a huge deal to the player, as their speed is slow, and you just need to run around and get bitten by zombies enough until you turn into a zombie.

Also also, what’s that music when you win the game? It’s quite creepy.

Nonetheless, a pretty decent, although short, experience.

Nice work :D I really love this unique take on the theme, and thought it was funny having the priest following behind you. The ending scene was a fun realization as to why it was called Midnight bride haha
