This was really fun and made me laugh in a lot of parts! The presentation was great, I really loved the color palette and how everything fit together. The top down game within the story of Lucy was really cool, I loved how it communicated that the events taking place there were happening in the past. I got ending 1: Fear and ending 7: Legend-- I feel like all the "common sense" options like grabbing the weapons and such led you straight to the "true" ending 7, I think I would really have had to go against my instincts to get other endings haha. Overall a really polished game!! I liked it!
Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback Isabel, I really appreciate it! : D
We played the Spanish version, and although there are several untranslated phrases, we appreciate being able to play it in our language. The color palettes work very well with the atmosphere, though it might be good to desaturate the past segments to give them a vintage touch since they are flashbacks. We have unlocked several endings, and we did not expect ending 7 at all; it was a great twist. Good game! :)
Thank you so much for playing it and for your feedback! : D
Yes, the game was translated some hours before the official release hahaha, so many phrases were overlooked, but I always want to include at least one version in another language.
Thanks again for playing! : D
Like some others, I know you know my opinion of your game, but I'd like to leave a comment here anyway if that's ok!
Like others, I also got the 7th ending (eventually), and I was pleasantly surprised about the ending! I was happy to see the different endings and of course the different ways players could die, too!
I love your hammy usage of horror and slasher elements, and it's all very spot on for your games!
There was plenty to explore, and I was afraid there might be times I wouldn't be able to backtrack to look at stuff, but I'm thankful for being able to save at many locations :>
I will say, this did seem like an easier type of game than some of your other entries-not that it wasn't challenging! I think you did well it making it not super complex, but I think I ended up playing it and thinking "maybe I don't have much to worry about after all..?" because a lot of what happens or what is laid out for us as players is...very obvious- what I mean is! I think it would be difficult to NOT get to the "true" ending. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing!
I don't have a whole lot to critique in this entry, but I will say that I'm happy to see less AI generative assets.
I always look forward to new entries by you, and I'm always impressed by the different ways you're able to make endings/death scenarios! Thanks for another funny and spooky entry!
Thank you Egg!!
You all game so creep and great. I have play sakabashira, that great game. This game also good, i likes main character. XD
Ohhh thank you so much! That's such an old game hahhaa, but I've been told that's one of my best ones
Really very creepy! I got ending 7, very happy with that one haha. I was really rooting for Lucy the whole game she seemed very focused and clever. Loved the music, found myself like rocking back and forth to it the whole game haha. The jump scares were effective, I almost died a few times simply cuz my hands left the keyboard I flinched so bad haha. Your puzzles are always really well structured. Just the right balance of simple enough to not feel frustrating but layered enough that they're super rewarding to complete. The color palette of the trees and forest worked really well. I think you used those trees in Billy, right? Or similar? They're stunning, just really cool depth like a Bob Ross painting, with the light coming through them.
I loved the flashbacks, the contrast of the styles worked really well. There were some trees with awkward spacing of non walkable tiles, I'll post a screenshot on discord later. But it felt like I was far away from the tree and it was weird there was a big invisible impassable block. But the vibe of the flashbacks was awesome, the tiny pixel sprites worked really well for that "older" feel, like a bad photograph or something. Really clever.
I think I liked the chase sequences in Mausoleosis better? Maybe just cuz that was the first one of your games I played so I'm biased haha. But I liked that I had to switch directions in those, it made it really intense. This felt a bit like, okay just run. But the jumps and the sound design of Bigfoot are top notch. Love how weird and melty he looks. Super creepy. Great game dude!!
Thank you so much Chevie! I really appreciate and value your feedback and your words!
I wanted the game to feel like a cheap but somewhat enjoyable horror film from the 80's full of over the top situations and unnecessary fanservice, and I think I might have achieved it hahaha

That's where I thought the intro was gonna be headed to when I first saw it, kinda like in Toiletisia :D
Anyway, great game as always! I really liked how it was structured with the semi-branching paths and such.
Thanks Beregon!
I forgot to mention who published the game though!

I didn't really want to make it a joke game like Toiletisia, but I guess it does have some small bits of silly comedy (like wardrobe malfunction for Pauline)
