I love the eerie atmosphere!The music and sound effects are awesome!!
Beat the game, though the music wasn't played. Listened to it afterwards though. Would've definitely added to an already (somehow thrilling given the math) experience! Loved it.
Thank you teuciont!
I'm in love! Who didn't want to be the Erlkönig since school?
And maths? Everyone loves that!
The need to confirm solutions slowed everything a bit down, though. Multiple Choice or auto-confirm if right would be options.
Thank you!! Your suggestion is golden, I just added it to the game and feels more fluid. Thank you so much.
I'm impressed with this style of play. I had a lot of fun playing it. The idea is amazing.
The execution is perfect with good music, FX, etc... The general atmosphere is catchy.
nice game but I'm not a fan of math ;-;
This game Is really unique. Gets your brain going ahaha
Child dead. Schubert is proud.
This one's certainly unique! The artstyle is interesting, it reminds me of Limbo. I wasn't expecting to have to solve math problems for any of these games, ha.
The real horror is Maths.
Not really the mechanic you'd expect for a game like this, so points for novelty and making the player do something a little different! It would have been nice to tie it in somehow thematically with what's going on.
