Nice art and interesting concept with these kind of "pages" revealing. Didn't how how to play first, some intro would have been nice (edit: I now see you have it on your game's page). Also I was too bad to complete it, but good that you provided a gameplay video.

Oh and yes, the volume for the jump scares is way too loud compared to the other sounds, and potentially harmful.

thank u for playing we really appreciate it, lmao everyone is talking about volume, I did make it loud on purpose lol >:))

Yeah, I understand that it is done on purpose, but I think it's overdone a bit.

You can still have the jumpscares work, even if your ambient sounds were a louder, such that people don't dial up the volume before encountering jumpscares. Also, FYI set_volume() has a range from 0.0 to 1.0 and larger values will be clipped at 1.0. 

Just my two cents, because I think it doesn't live up to an otherwise excellent game with beautiful art style, with subtle horror and and an interesting mechanic.

Developer

okay, ill definitely save your tips for later, ty

Really nice! This is probably the scariest game in this jam, lol. I like the variety of monsters that you need to fight differently, I think that the game could be a little easier. I finished with a good ending (reunion with the father)💀 I really like playing it! Going to play it again later.

RIP headphone users... I died probably within the first 30 seconds and got a weird crash https://imgur.com/4vvFNKu, I wasn't able to reproduce it. During the "Dad hates mom" segment just be patient I guess? "How is my dad is so smart" Character wasn't able to move for some reason. Not sure if this is intentional?

Sound effects were amazing and I really liked your art style!

Thank you so much for your feedback!! We really appreciate you playing or game and giving a review on it, we will improve in the futue! About the volume.. Yeah lol it's quite loud. Ignore the crash, it's just some weird pyInstaller thing that happenes all the time but doesn't affect the gameplay at all. This game is pretty hard with a Lot of game mechanics and monsters, so I'll suggest you to read about this on the game page! It explains there about controls and how to avoid dying in the first 30 seconds! The game generation is completely random - monsters spawn randomly, main character talks randomly, doors into rooms spawn randomly, each closet and drawer has a random item inside of it. So I am not sure why you were not able to move! The game does require you to have arrow keys and wasd separately from each other

I hope you have a nice day:)

guys remember you are downloading a .zip file! the .exe file is inside of it already! You just have to unzip the .zip file to find it

Developer
