As others have said, goes a bit beyond atmospheric with how dark it is into outright difficult to see - which is a shame considering how interesting the graphics looked. Would love to explore this one more.
The screen goes darker when they are ghosts nearby, so go to your ghost hunting mode (holding right click) to see and kill them, but the screen is pretty dark at default still.
the screen is too dark that i m not knowing what i suppose to do next
The screen goes darker when they are ghosts nearby, so you need to go to your ghost hunting mode (hold right click) and then you can see them and shoot them.
ok... may b i dint understand the mechanic well
I like the mechanics and the visual style Is definitely original. I am yet to play a game that has something like this. Overal this game Is cool and I like it. 7/10
Hey check out our stream and make fun of us https://twitch.tv/devdiaries
Loved the art, lighting and effects. Plus, the gameplay was simple and fun
pretty fun, I really love the art
The game was a little bit too dark and I kept getting a crash as I was playing, but overall it was alright! It's a bit hard to read all the writing in the first room because of how dark it is.
I learned about the crashing only after the jam so I couldn't fix it and the screen should go darker when there is a ghost nearby so that might be the reason if it was really dark, but at default it still there's still pretty dark.
Very interesting graphics, and it reminds me of Blackthornprod. The game's also really fun to play, but sometimes on some level, it's feels like it's impossible to pass through. I think you use procedural map generation right? (Correct me if I'm wrong though) But the game feels great, especially when you can destroy props in game, and the effect is really cool! Good works
It is procedurally generated, but in some places you need to use the ghost hunting mode for more recoil to fly to places.
Very Nice visuals, I found an error where if you restart on the first level, your game can crash, the visuals are great with subtle details (like the paintings changing to disturbing imagery), You obviously worked hard on this, good job!
I know about that crashing, I only discovered it after the submitting so I could't fix it, but you should be able to play at least about 5 times until it crashes.
Loved the horror vibe, also the shooting is really satisfying! Lovely game
one question, what do you use to draw nice graphics like this ? a special painting app ?
No, I literally use paint.net
thank for sharing, i tried corel painter essentials and it works very well to do your kind of graphics.
interesting art style and look. found it hard to use the shut gun to get air some times but doing a similar thing in my game I know it can be a pain in the arse. Sadly after getting killed by a ghost one time the game crashed and then it crashed again when I failed to jump high enough to dodge some spikes.
I found out that it can crash some times after dying only today so I could't fix it any more, but it should happen only like every 5 deaths.
yeah the joys of stuff you can't find till people start to play your game on mass.
very nice graphics i didn't know about the beepbox, nice sharing.
Loved the art style. Took me a while to figure out what to do
Interesting game! But sometimes it's not clear why I'm dying)
There are invisible ghosts and to reveal them, you need to hold right click to go to ghost hunting mode and then you can kill them. The screen will also go darker when you are closer to ghosts.
WOOOW
