Funny game!

Gura's model and animation is great!

I had fun exploring and discovering the corrupted entities in the room.

Couldn't clear the boss fight though. It feels like you have to do a perfect run before the boss to survive long enough, which I couldn't do.

Improvement suggestions:

- The hitbox detection feels a bit wonky. I'm hit by attacks that happen in a different lane than the one I'm standing on, which makes it impossible to dodge them.

- The camera sometimes doesn't follow Gura.

Good game! XD

This game have tons of potential! Love the 3D models you've made, and the gameplay is pretty fun as well despite some problems, which I believe most comments below has already described the issues I had.
Though one thing I'd really like to point out, I personally think it'd be better with more focus on a smaller handful of genres and ideas instead of spreading out so much. This game seems a little confused on what it is trying to be.
I'd really love to see more though, maybe as separate projects where one is on horror/investigation and the other as a RPG MMBN game. Thanks for making this!

Dancing till the break of dawn! Gura giving tranquility! A funny game with references but I think the timing for the enemy attacks are too fast for players to react and the draining of tranquility is a tad bit too fast too. I think if this game could slow down a tad bit, it would make for better experience.

Why does shuba ducks hurtbox come out NINETY YEARS before the actual attack it does!?? Would've appreciated a heal after fighting the hell duck for the final boss. The tranquility system is far too punishing. Draining so fast, dropping by like a 3rd when your hit, and draining during dialogue too. It should at least pause for your conversation with Buffson if nothing else.
I feel no tranquility, I feel ANGER!!! 

That said, the vibe is kinda nice. The fixed camera angles take some getting used too, but it does make everything feel more mysterious somehow. Sniffing out the corruption in a race against the clock is a fun idea, I just wish I had more time. 

I absolutely loved the aesthetic of the game. The camera angles gave me Resident Evil vibes, and the models looked amazing. The combat was a little difficult for me, but I loved the grid based concept. I would love to see more like this in the future, keep it up!

Quite fun! A bit too hard though imo. I managed to beat it after much effort.

I think its funny that this game is based on this animation by DuDul, which is itself based on this from A Hat in Time, which is a reference to this meme about an Animal Crossing error message, which uses this animation of Bob from Animal Crossing. Its a long chain of inspiration!

I really like the Gura model you made. I did like the idea that as you had more corruption, you delt more damage and became closer to reflect Gura, but also were closer to losing. I think one thing you could do for the Shubas is to give a different tell if they are going to move. The amount of times I've moved to dodge their attack only to get hit because they move at the same time as attacking was higher than I'd like to admit.

Great modeling work, made even more impressive within the context of building a game around them on such a tight schedule.

It’s solid design how the married genres of anomaly detection and grid combat are linked by the shared resource of tranquility so the player can build tension or compensate for their poor performance on one with a clutch/manic performance on the other. (Even though for this version the anomaly positions were static so it only works once, I mean more at a concept level).

If you were to expand on this project, as feedback I’d suggest pausing tranquility dropping during important dialogue. The first few times I made it to Buffson I had to skip the conversation because I was at single-digit tranquility. That may be an intentional design choice, but in that case you would not be able to rely on it to deliver any crucial information to the player.

I like the concept of "spot the difference" into RPG battles, and the atmosphere is solid. The transition on reset is a bit abrupt, though, and sometimes makes it unclear what exactly caused you to drop below 0 Tranquility.

Bug Note: There's some collision distortion/duplication if you make multiple attacks in quick succession.

Idk if it was intentional but this game has no right being this eerie, you nailed it.

Really enjoyed the combat, it's really creative! Though it would be nice if the enemies had more time to telegraph their attacks.

I enjoyed this a lot! Love the combat system. There's a lot you can do with that. The actual game is really good. I like the animations, the sound, and the little tint Gura gets when you lose tranquility. I kind of wish the game was longer just so I could fight more types of enemies in this system.

Also you should probably change the itch page from saying its a web game to a downloadable. I thought this game didn't exist for a while because the page said "The developer hasn't uploaded a game yet" and since it was a web game I didn't think to scroll down to downloads.

Love the concept and vibes! You have something going here! I'd like to see a conclusion!
