Was the resolution a challenge?
Always a challenge! But low resolution is great fun to work with - every pixel counts!
What did you learn?
One perfectly polished level is better than three under-developed levels!

Awesome game. Nice atmosphere. I wish there was a little more mechanic on taking photos. Overall very good game.
I really liked the atmosphere and the visuals of the characters and items, I was initially a bit confused because the items aren't all shown in the store at the start but once that was figured out, it was very straightforward. Good effort all round.
Really enjoyed this, a lot of amazing polish for a game jam game, just a really cool experience! I quickly got used to the controls, I think the biggest thing that got me was right clicking for the camera. Also, it took me a while to realise I had to be close to objects to interact, maybe the interact cursor could be red when you're too far to interact with an item?
Really cool style. Very polished and complete, I had fun playing until the end. Might be good to add the abilty to move with the keyboard though.
the controls are a bit confusing: it's hard to explain, but for instance, because there's no visual indication to the contrary, I assumed that I could hold the mouse down to move (when it's only click). but I got over this quickly and played through to the end: beautiful art, awesome camera mechanic, and impressive scope for a jam!
Really well done! Point and click games are not my favourite, but this one kept me interested. I agree with the comments here, the controls are a bit weird at first, especially the fact that the arrow points down, but it’s all good once used to it.
Good job on the animations and the art, especially for this resolution!
This is easily one of the best looking games here! i was a little confused about directioning though. The character wanted to take pictures of ghosts, but i couldn't discern exactly why i wanted to do that and to what end. Overall a good entry and very spooky!
This is by far one of the cleanest looking games i've played for the game, the art is clean, the animations are well done.
I do have one gripe tho. Is this intented to be more of a story-based or a horror game? Im a little confused regarding the direction for the game.
but the game runs clean and thats important. Plus the characters were unique and interesting, aside from the shopkeeper. Good stuff!!
This game was visually very very pretty! But the controls were very clunky, and it made it confusing to navigate. I never found another picture spot after the cat, and the question mark in the house didn't do anything. But overall, the best looking game I've seen in the jam and gave me massive sierra vibes!
