Notes from gameplay:
- Well-written intro text
- Simple but clean graphics
- Nice audio for footsteps, collection, but no music?
- YIKES MONSTER
- Nice art for the monster, evokes slenderman. Gross sounds when it eats you, nice job
- My flashlight has vanished on play again, but my arm is still extended. Edit: nevermind, it's just blending into the outdoor background. Maybe an outline around it would help?
- Clean, simple controls. Nice UI with the ! making it easy to see interactable elements
- Seems like the monster doesn't follow me out of the crypt
- Got all the treasures on my second try!
- Once I've figured out the maze, it is pretty easy to outwalk the monster.
Overall, this had clean and cohesive graphics, a fun little story to frame it and a nice jump scare. It didn't feel particularly challenging after the first playthrough, but I enjoyed playing it! It's well-made and presents a complete game you can play from start to finish. Well done!
Thanks for the feedback!
Simple and effective. Though, I think two additions would make the game a lot scarier:
A sprint button (+ increasing the monsters speed to match), it was a bit hard to get into the mood when the chase was occurring at a snails pace.
Some more tension in the early game so the player doesn't feel totally safe, the danger doesn't have to be actually real, just perceived as such.
Really enjoyed the art and exploration. The monster didn't really feel threatening, especially as you play longer and realize (spoiler) nothing can hurt you until you grab the idol.(/spoiler) However, with a bit of work it would really feel great! And right on the nose with the theme as well.
Thanks for the feedback! There were a lot of things that I wanted to fix/add so I'll 100% look into a health system, but with the way the game is set up, I think the false sense of security that gets set up is really effective. But I'll experiment!
As a horror lover, I'm a HUGE fan of the premise and the atmospheric gameplay, it's simple yet effectively spooky! The design of the mausoleum was great and I love the limited visibility too, it brings forth the right amount of tension. Great job, I can't wait for your future games!
A very nice game. Good Graphics and very scary. Sometimes, i dont know why, but i touch the monster and it dont kill me.
