I'm a sucker for this aesthetics, so I'm giving you 5 stars on the graphics, I also thing the ambiance is well done, but I don't know if it was intended or not but the audio sounds strange(?), like, when someone blows air into a mic(?) or like really old videogames, although as I said, it kinda added to the game's ambiance. I also got some glitches like the others mention, I never knew how the monster is supposed to behave, BUT it let me take a closer look at it, and I liked the design, specially the animation and the texture.
I do think it would be worth to polish the game further and maybe expand it a bit, for a week of work it's good and I believe you have something interesting here.
thanks, these past few days I've been polishing the game up and trying to actually have a finished game and Its nearly done. I'll check out ur game as soon as I have the time
Cool stuff, I really like the graphical aesthetic you went for + the monster is pretty creepy lol
Was a bit buggy on my machine with the intro but I assume it was because of my res - (2560x1440p)
Basically it seemed like only a corner of the screen was darkened when I reached the door.
Would love to see this polished up a bit - nonetheless it was a nice experience!
thanks I completely forgot about other screen resolutions and I unfortunately ran out of time to try polish the game and I'll make sure to check out ur game when I have the time
Hi I don't k now if it was just my setup but it seemed very glitchy. I didn't really have sound and the monster kept glitching in the wall.
That said when i walked directly into him it still jump scared me :)
I like the horror elements and atmosphere!
Its really glitchy when playing in browser so if u were i would recommend trying to download it. Thanks for playing ill play ur gsme later
Nice idea of horror game, story elements are present. Introduction is too long though, I wish that entrance would be much closer. Also monster sometimes stuck in environment.
I did try to fix the monster getting stuck but no matter what I did it would just keep happening unfortunately. I'll make sure to play ur game later
That was an experience, for sure.
Controls were a bit challenging: With the mouse visible, when I got to the edge of my window I couldn't turn anymore. So I had to right-click at the edge of the screen to re-acquire my cursor, then move it to the centre, then continue turning.
Other than that, there's a lot to like.
At first, I just saw a white screen with no indication that my controls were working, so I assumed FPS and marched forward. I started to question my sanity when I wasn't sure if I was walking toward something real or imaginary (Is that an in-game object or a bit of dirt on my monitor?). Eventually I got into the game-proper and enjoyed the experience.
when ur playing in browser the mouse does do that but if u just click the center of the screen it hides and doesn't git the edge. I'll make sure to check out ur game later
Nice game! The atmosphere kept me on edge and that jump scare really got me haha. I found endings 1 and 2, are there more to find?
I did want to add more endings but I ran out of time so there is only 2. I'll make sure to play ur game later
