I spent a night playing a bunch of the early submissions for Scream Jam 2021 on my stream and I originally threw this one in as kind of a cute palate cleanser. I could not have been more wrong about what I would go on to experience. I'm a massive horror fan and pretty desensitized to the usual jump scare heavy games that have seemed to become the norm in indie horror.
That being said, this was easily the most unsettling of the games that I have played from this Jam and had so many moments that were genuinely uncomfortable. What this morphs into after midnight is great psychological horror that I cannot recommend enough. I cannot wait for more games from Fear and Luckfishlai.
So, is anyone going to send an email? I played all the parts but didn't bother jotting it down. I'd like to know what happens, though. Probably a British girl saying "Now how'd you get my email address?"
Neat idea, well presented. I have nothing to say negative about the "special" part of the game. In regards to the "regular" part of the game... the character moves way too fast and the double jump system requires you to hit the button so fast I could barely do it. It made me die so many times I just gave up on it.
Thanks for playing. Yeah the platformer does feel a bit unresponsive after playing it back post jam, Unfortunately I only had a couple of days at the start of the Jam to work on it so the programming ended up been a touch rushed and I didnt get enough time to tweak it.
SPOILER
If you play this game between midnight or 4AM there is an alternative game to play (The real horror experience). you can change your system clock to see this at any time as long as your system clock is set between midnight and 4am!
I really liked the art is this one! It did make me a bit sick with how fast it was going though. I was expecting a jumpscare because of that bloody lookin screenshot you had posted. It wasn't too spooky but it had charm. I felt like I was the purple bear. Good job!
Thanks for playing.
If you want the real horror part of the game you need to play it between midnight and 4am (Or you can change your system time temporarily)
god dam! that was scary! You got me good :peepoHonk:
