Pretty engaging story here! For the length of the jam, the amount of dialog options seemed appropriate, but definitely seemed really linear. It would be sweet to see an iteration in the future with more open-ended options for the player. Artwork, music, and sounds were all really great though. Nice work!
Yep--the dialog is linear. I did consider branching paths, but I struggled with the decision, and in the end, the clock made the decision for me.
Thanks so much for playing and rating! :)
I loved it! The art and mechanics seem very polished. Others have commented on having alternate endings, and I would like that too, but the linear narrative in this game is still great for the time given to make it.
The flashlight wasn't too bad on my monitor, but I can see why others may think it's too dark. Great game with that aside!
Thanks for trying it out! Glad you liked it. :)
The art is great, the ominous music and the “voiced SFX” are very well executed.
But i was not a fan of the flashlight… I understand the theme is darkness, but i wish i could see a little better.
I understand... it was essentially an experiment. I think in the end, the result came out mixed: it lent atmosphere, but yes, at the expense of clarity.
Thank you for trying it out! :)
I loved the dialogue and the art! Also, to me, the ability to inspect non-essential items in games like this is crucial and I'm glad you've included that too. It would've been even better if the dialogue options had different effects, but branching story paths are a huge pain to write and implement, especially for a 3-day jam.
I mostly expected the ending, but I was low-key hoping I would be able to prevent it by choosing the right options. Then again, the dialogue hinted at me that Peter's action was maybe not justified but at least understandable.
Thanks so much for checking it out! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I struggled with the question of whether or not to allow Peter to escape his terrible fate. In the end, the time pressure made the decision for me... the last few hours were a mad scramble, complete with build failures, unwelcome surprises with the canvas resolution, etc.
Great quality game for this short time. Would love to see a longer story.
Thanks so much! Glad you had fun. :)
real nice! nice dark story with a wonderful twist.
Thank you for your kind words.
Brilliantly stylized and realized, with gripping dialogue and story. Love the animated sprites. The quips and dialogue are spot on for early point and click nostalgia and for the setting! That door sound is perfect and hilarious. I love it!
Thank you for playing, and glad you had fun!
Btw... I made that door sound with my voice, haha.
Love the narrative in this game! It's good to see that peter will be punished for his crimes. I had a blast playing this game, great job!
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! :)
I was concerned at some point that I was going a bit too dark... but... the theme was Darkness.
Story is very engaging, and the theme and limitation fits really well with the game's setting.
Replayed it twice to check if I can find other endings but unfortunately, the outcomes on my both playthroughs are the same.
Overall it is a very well-designed game! Kudos to you!
Thanks so much for playing and sharing your feedback! Glad you enjoyed.
I did think about adding multiple endings, but I cut it really really close on time. :) Perhaps a future version.
Very nice environment, I love it.
Thank you so much for playing and sharing feedback!
