This is pretty good, very clever use of the theme. And thank god there were no jumpscares I was very scared

I was so freaked out by the creepy atmosphere that I just spammed Q on all the dolls. On replay I was able to see the dolls swaying, and the shadow effects helped. Very creepy game!
You have an amazing cover, atmospheric dolls, maybe with a simpler genre of the game you did a lot better with such visuals.
It's a cool conecpt, but it was very confusing. I could not see the dolls move so I just pressed Q randomly until I won. I think you should make the movement a bit more obvious and maybe make it so you lose a life or something if you eradicate unpossessed dolls. I also thought the flashlight field of view was a bit low. Good job tho, I liked it.
Cool game! It’s a bit confusing at the start, but once you get how it works (and where you are) it’s interesting!
To be honest I could not see the dolls moving so I just tried to eradicate them randomly, and I eventually got to find the 5 possessed dolls ^^’ Maybe you could make their movement more obvious, since we can’t see much with the reduced field of view of the flashlight.
(And yeah the base mouse sensitivity is crazy, thanks for allowing us to change it!)
Very creative interpretation of the limitation! This is the only game I've played so far where moving is lethal for the enemies instead of the player. I also didnt expect to see a fps horror game in this jam lol!
My only problems with the game are the lack of an end screen and that the mouse sensitivity was a little high for my taste, but overall great work!
