I thoroughly enjoyed this. You created a great sense of atmosphere and mystery.
Great choice of backgrounds and other graphics.
The story unfolds gradually and I liked being able to choose my degree subject etc, although the choice for the player otherwise were limited. The game ended unexpectedly when I chose one of the 3 pictures in the hidden room - I guess that is as far as you got.
I would come back to try again when its finished to see where the story goes.
Always love seeing other visual novels in Jams, and another one made in Ren'Py, too! :) I enjoyed the atmosphere, graphics and creepy music. Was almost expecting a jump scare. Unfortunately, the demo ended right when it got exciting (after finding the photos). Hope you'll continue working on it. :) Well done!
This was really good! The sfx and music changes were integrated well, nice job!
Got to the hidden room and then the demo ended… :( Too bad because I would love to read more. Great premise and I hope you continue working on it.
Graphics are really great, music too ! Unfortunately, I didn't managed to play a lot.
With the first choice (pick the lock, open windows...), every choices seems not to work, it brings me to a page with errors...
NOOOO I thought I fixed that
