This was intriguing and engrossing. The back story sounded sad and enigmatic. I like the simplicity of the design combined with the rich environment.
The thing about pixel-hunting though, is that it can be frustrating and pull you out of the immersion. You sit there clicking nonstop on everything until you find the one thing that will react. This is particularly difficult with graphics that have neither color nor high contrast; as a result it can be difficult to distinguish certain objects, and I believe the hunt turned out harder than intended.
The jumpscare killed me.
I love the artstyle and the soundtrack creates a great atmosphere in the game. The use of the limitation is pretty deap and smart, i love it.
I absolutely loved this game, though it was short. I liked the concept and I really wish it was longer. I was very immersed and interested in learning more. You guys did amazing. One thing I did have trouble with though was figuring out what I needed to click in order to be able to interact with certain items, even so it didn't make it impossible to find the end. Again, this game was really enjoyable and immersive, congrats.
Awesome game! The hand drawn art gives depth to the gameplay, it was really an immersive (suspenseful ) experience, I am a fan of point and click games, and part of it is clicking to find the objects for use, a tooltip or description on the inventory items would be nice . Overall I enjoyed playing this one! congratulations! keep it up!
I'm really a fan of point and click games (i love submachine and Rusty Lake games) so when I saw this game I was very excited to try it out!
The game's atmosphere is terrifying which is very nice, the setting and story of the game is also well-made. My only problem is some items can't be really seen on the toolbar above (the screwdiver). It took me a while before finding out that I already have got the said item. Would be cool to make the already acquired items to be more visible on the toolbar and also to have an option to inspect it (as some items' visuals are hard really guess what item it is)
Overall, the game is great!
Great point and clik ! I like the atmosphere a little bit scary, and I find it charming that the graphics were made on paper :)
bravo
Hey thanks for the feedback :) I'm glad the spook factor didn't go unnoticed
Incredibly cool! I love the art style, it's so unique and reminds me of my favorite spooky escape rooms. The music is awesome and really elevates the experience!
That's so nice ;-; thank you. We all worked very hard on the project
