Nice enjoyed the puzzle of finding the key only issue I had was no audio during my playthough

Happy to see a horror point-and-click here, brings back a lot of nostalgia for me. Obscuring most of the vision through the flashlight was a spooky twist. I was a little disappointed it ended just as things were getting interesting, but I'm happy to see your comments about continuing the project. Nice job!

Thank you for checking it out naver! I look forward to entertaining you again with a finished version!

PS. The rich house with kitchen sink was a slight jab at the phrase "everything and the kitchen sink". Just a stupid joke.

Makes me miss the good days of armorgames and newgrounds

Love point-and-click mysteries! The core mechanic of searching an abandoned house and using a torch overlay to convey this is a neat idea. It'd be cool to see a continuation of the narrative and find more situational storytelling which helps build the lore of what's going on in this house. As far as feedback, point-and-clicks can be a bit "find X to open Y to find Z" so having more responsive things that happen that isn't just keyfinding can be a good way to enhance the experience. Good job though!

Thanks for submitting this game to the SCREAM JAM!
