I see this game as a light horror adventure game, a bit of a walking simulator. I have mixed feelings about it.
The good:
The bad:
So it's a decent game. It's not overly difficult, but has some room for improvement.
Thank you for you feedback.
This was interesting. I love the art style and the overall cohesiveness of the game. I was a little confused as to what to do and why, but was able to figure it out before long. Thank you for joining the jam! :D
Thank you.
Cute, but I do hold off a bit. Has a... unique sense of humour I did enjoy, but I think there's a lack of cause-and-effect situations, like the cat ears doing something to the ghost ("the spirit gets stuck in the cat") and protag guessing the contents of rooms she didn't visit. Stuff just happens sometimes, as if a step was skipped.
Graphics and Music are appealing, mapping is fine, puzzles are a bit linear, and the plot is quite nice; I thought this was a scary game :0 but it's somewhat wholesome.
Oh, and Rose, sending a player to a Game Over screen with no warning is just evil. Particularly when saving is not even acknowledged. In scenarios like these, you can send them to a "failure screen" map (evented) and return them to the room after a dialogue box, as if that choice was made only in their head.
Thank you. Sorry about the game over . I am happy you found wholesome. :D
Thank you! I will take the feedback and improve upon it for other jams and games. :D
Nice solid game. Not too daunting or too easy. Good balance
Congratulations on another game entry. It's cool you are dipping your hands on a puzzle game. Keep making games. I downloaded and beat your game.
