The intro really made me want to win (but I am a weak nerd and did not). Sometimes it felt like the thrown knives did nothing but I did see enemies die and the damage zone of the swung knife was really unclear. I also seemed to get stuck on enemies, swinging wildly unsure if I was making progress (and frequently holding shift to sprint out of habit). Very cool premise.
Oh wow, shout-out to all the voice actors! The voice acting in this game is SO GOOD. It's definitely adding to the world. I liked the story that can naturally explain why Mary has to escape from the place.
Overall I enjoyed the experience. I wished Mary walked a bit faster. lol
Great Voice acting.
Interesting game; it was compelling enough that I didn't click away in the first few minutes at least, which is great for a jam game.
Love that there's actual VA in this one, even if it is slightly stilted at times. It moves the narration forward well, and made me feel more connected to the main character than I would have otherwise been. The music, footsteps, audio in general all support a really creepy vibe.
Biggest problem here lies in the gameplay itself: it's sorta slow, unengaging, and feels a bit...weightless. I couldn't tell when my hits were connecting with the monsters, or when I was getting hit by them. I didn't find myself looking forward to combat, but just trying to get through it.
I never got to the ending, as I simply could not find the light. If time allows I actually plan to revisit this, I want to see the ending. Overall a pretty solid submission for a game jam game, thanks for giving us a game to play!
Thanks for playing .. the light is quite hard to find.. here is a huge tip…
I had a ton of fun playing this, unfortunately the web version made it hard to control the character but that's prolly an issue on my end. I didnt get to finish the boss battle due to getting stuck to the left of the big boxes, which protected me from the enemys but also made it so I couldn't kill them..
Thanks for playing.. Godot on Web is not so responsive as an .exe I also removed all the 2D light because was impossible to play on web.
Good acting! It's hard to find the items...
Wow, was surprised by all of the voice acting in this. Really great job and the VA definitely elevated the game to a much higher level than I was expecting from a jam.
I had some difficulty initially finding the knife. It seemed like it was very sensitive to which side of the box I activated it from. Only the bottom of the box, but not the sides or top I believe? Possibly user error on my part tho.
Thanks for playing.. a little tip for the knife.. you have to be under the box and press E.
It looks and sounds great, but the main character feels like she is moving way too slowly. Also spent WAY too long pressing E on everything at least put the knife PNG into the game somewhere to pick up.
Thanks for playing. I will improve a little bit about the items in the polished version of the game.. I was short of time …
Ain't no way they called Jean a nerd when they look like Barbie wannabes. Jokes aside, the voice acting is fire, real nice touch. I wish there was an option to skip dialogue, and also I found a bug with the first stage fight where the fight would end at around 13 enemies left. I managed to get to the boss fight against Mary, but died with about 50 enemies left. Overall solid entry, lacking a little flavour though.
Thanks for the comments, I was a little short of time to finish all and polish better .. It is first game made in Godot 4 with GDscript.
Really enjoyed the voice acting and art!
I couldn't find the light though and thought I searched everywhere. The vial and knife were also very finicky to actually get, I thought I checked the box on the left for the knife but it turned out that I need to be standing below it and standing to the side didn't work.
You have to go down .. in the middle candle in the right..
