Themes
We used unconventional weapon and you are the environment and they were absolutely awesome themes. It definitely encouraged some out of the box thinking and made for some interesting brainstorming sessions.
Tools
I used Godot which was admittedly frustrating with how often it broke seemingly by itself but it was nonetheless a learning opportunity.
Lessons
I learned a lot about the limitations of controlling things through animation players (its a bad idea) and that simplifying an idea is not always making it any less fun.

This is such a cool start to a game, and I hope you carry on with it after the jam!
Nice mechanic and use of the "you are the environment" theme for hiding, and I liked the charming spooky art. Would be cool to see this developed further for sure!!
Just played Ghost Game! I love the main mechanic of being able to hide in objects (The shadow thing is super cute)! Something I wish that could have been approved is the spotters, a lot of the time they felt a little oblivious and didn't really feel like they were interacting with the player. Awesome Job!
Thank you! And with the spotters I couldn't agree more, if we do continue development on this after the jam we will have that ironed out. Thanks again!
