This game oozes with charm and style, everything comes together in a very consistent way that is very pleasant to experience. The music is awesome, the environment is well detailed, the character portraits are great. The main gameplay mechanic made me wish there was a bit more game to play, the part with the shack and the key really showed a lot of potential. Overall a really nice game and an amazing display of the talents of everyone involved, great work!
An absolute vibe. The visuals, atmosphere, story, all complimented with an incredible soundtrack that just brings it all together. I like the use of the ghost grab mechanics and the level design was pretty cool, the town is so detailed and moody it felt like the fog was going to come out of my screen!
Really loved the interpretations of these characters, DSD true form was legit scary, and both of Solveig's forms are so cute. The good ending was super cute and made me tear up, I wanted to stay in that world ~
Of all the games, this had my favourite world that I would love to live in and explore further. Just the right level of emptiness. Really cool stuff.
In agreement with everyone who said the atmosphere was top notch, especially graphics and music. Some very sweet (and creepy) versions of these characters.
Really pretty game! Great music, loved the graphics style, super impressive 2D art! This game really nails a VIBE
I love the character portraits and aesthetic of this game SO MUCH. Such a fun creepy vibe like old Cartoon Network shows that freaked me out as a kid. And wonderfully appropriate music that sealed the deal!
I absolutely adore the visuals and the atmosphere!
Love this game's mood. Great presentation incl art direction, character design, models and music.

Loved the unique take on the characters. This version of DSD was definitely very creepy! Nice easter eggs in his shop from previous jams. I really liked the design of the forest level, crawling through that floor hatch. Nice work!
This game is just one impeccable vibe the whole time. The overall visual style, the character art for the models and portraits, the music, and the level design all create for a tight game with a fun, spooky, staturday morning cartoon vibe
Loved the whole style of the game. I really liked the main telekinesis gimmick, it's easy to see how that could lead to a lot of interesting puzzle-solving in a longer game. Played twice to get both endings, I caught the music reference in the bad ending credits to your game last year! Good stuff
Thanks, we wanted to add more variety to puzzles but thats how these jams sometimes go, glad you enjoyed it!
The visual style, music, environments and original character interpretations all come together amazingly. Such a great spooky vibe and general ambience. I could totally see this as a series with the gang investigating different local mysteries!
Thank you, that was the general idea, to make it feel like an episode of a bigger series.
When the vocals kicked in during the credits I was floored. And of course the visuals were killer.
Thank you <3 thats the track i am most proud of I think ^^
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome job by everyone involved! Love the music, the characters, their art and just the overall aesthetic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really cool entry. Love the aesthetic/atmosphere. Great, unique takes on the character designs, and sick music. Just top-tier vibes throughout.
Thank you! glad you liked it.
We really did our best to create a cohesive vibe for this entry - glad it seemed to have paid off <3
