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!

Good atmosphere, have to admit I was a bit confused while playing

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!)

We will make sure to fix that later, thanks for the feedback

mouse was incredibly sensitive even on the lowest setting. couldn’t play much :( art looks amazing!

Developer

Thanks for the input! The game has been updated to include mouse sens changing, which is done using scroll wheel. So if you would like feel free to try again, otherwise thanks again!

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!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

Got an error message on launch from the itch desktop app.

Thanks for the info! It should work if played on browser.
