Really interesting game! I really loved the cursed cover of Greensleeves in the home screen:  it really set the mood!

The gameplay felt smooth, and while there could be  some move audiovisual feedback (such as when you pick up a key) the game generally looked and sounded great!

Thanks for taking part in the  jam!

Thank you so much for playing my game. I tried to add a key pick up sound but somehow when the player picks up three keys the sound plays correctly but when you pick up the fourth key the sound does not play and it gives an error. I struggled for hours trying to resolve this issue but sadly I didn't find any solution. So i had to remove the key pick up sound. I will try to fix it after the jam ends. Again thanks for playing my game I really appreciate your feedback.

I'm sorry but this game just really didn't feel "So Bad It's Good" to me. It felt like a simple flash horror game.

Also the description mentions the music gets louder as the ghost approaches, but that doesn't seem to be actually happening to me. I just walk around and then suddenly the ghost pops out and kills me.

Congrats on submitting!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing my game I really appreciate your honest feedback. The sound only gets loud after collecting the five keys and then a singing red ghost appears on the scene. As you get near the red ghost the sound of the song increases, you use that sound to find the red ghost as mentioned in the description. The white colour ghosts do not sing the song.  Also, it's my first time participating in "So Bad It's Good" game jam so I had less idea about this game jam.

Fun game! A bit challenging, so I did not manage to actually get to the red ghost unfortunately. 

One problem I kept running into was that since the character runs so fast and the enemies can pop up so suddenly, I would often end up running into the enemies before I could react to them.

Thank you so much for playing my game. The character sure runs fast I did that intentionally to make the game bad. But there is a small window to get away from the ghost, you just need to be quick to turn around and get away from the ghost.

This was a really fun game! Managed to beat it in 3-4 tries. Scared me real good a few times and there are some really tense encounters. Really great game!

Finally a horror game; thought there will be many more of these. I think the sound could be more excessive for the modifier but atmosphere is general really great. I also quite liked the design of the ghost. Another suggestion would be to maybe "save" keys on death as it takes quite a while to get them when you restart. Gratz on the submission!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate your suggestion. I didn't make the "save" keys feature as the area is small and keys are always on the same location. So after playing the game 2-3 times you will know the location of the keys. But I do think the sound should be a little more loud for this theme. Thank you so much for playing my game.

Really creepy! I didn't manage to beat it, but there were some good scares

I absolutely hated this game. In a good way. Had me screaming from fear and frustration when 3 ghosts ganged up on me. I could only manage to find one key, but then I died immediately. Overall it was really fun!!
