You really got me with the jumpscare ahah the atmosphere is just ungodly I kept expecting danger but it never came and that’s what made it even more terrifying. Though as for the theme I don’t think it fits the theme at all.

Submitted

Very cool!  I think it would have been nice to see a collage of the pictures you've taken when you press tab.

Submitted

Took me a while to finally photograph the right things. Other than that I loved the atmosphere and low poly style.

This game is great, no question. Gonna be honest, though, I don't really think it's on theme? Even with [redacted spoilers], I'm not really feeling the "scale" or the "built". Besides that, an insanely good thing to make in just 96 hours!

Submitted

This is quite good for 96 hours! Cool style a well

Submitted

Great atmosphere.

For some reason, my camera kept turning right as if I had stick drift but i didn't have a controller plugged in

Submitted

Every time the flash went off and I saw a silhouette it somehow made me happy, cause it was so good seeing this quality at a jam, it also freaked me out... Good work!

Submitted

The walking speed could be a little faster, or maybe I missed the sprint button in the controls. I'm a huge sucker for PS1-styled horror games, you killed it! Great work!!

Submitted

Can't get the camera to work unfortunately.  Holding RMB does kinda move the camera, but then LMB doesn't do anything.  

Submitted

Very well done! Great style and atmosphere!

Submitted

Photo jumpscare got me good! 

Submitted

way to get us ready for spooky season! haha

Submitted

Incredible atmosphere, really contributes to the horror feel overall!! So intense

I really does eat people

The polish and the atmosphere of this game is absurd. Amazing game.

Submitted

Very impressive and super polished.

The polaroid mechanic is very effective and adds a lot to the overall atmosphere.

Submitted

The photo mechanic was neat! I'd feel proud to have gotten that working! The atmosphere and design seemed fun, but on the whole I don't see how this pertains to the theme. Clever game otherwise!

Submitted

haha I love having to shake the polaroid! very cool concept!

I know what's growing. My anxiety while playing. Nice atmosphere.

Sadly, I jumped down into the basement without the key and seemed to be stuck.

The athmosphere of the game is just amazing, and the PSX style fits this kind of horror very well. Great entry, I wish the camera would have more uses.
