Ohh this is good. The game manages to be uniquely stylish, while feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

Absolutely love what you did here, just excellent work!

That was good for a first game jam! The sounds were spooky and the theme really clicks into me. Would be great to see more of it!

Neat prototype. The fullscreen text and byte-eating sfx punch at the end there, that's pretty effective

Short and sweet! Love the sprites and the story. Good job!

Interesting game! The art style is so unique. I love the design of loooong corridor and how the words showen while mother's speaking. The only weakeness is it's toooo short. Really wish to explore more.

I found this quite charming, I liked the audio in general, the footstep sound was funny. It could do with some slight variation in velocity so it doesn't tire the ears. Also, are you ok?

I really love the concept and the art/graphics. The sound also makes it seem like we are inside her head, and everything we hear is distorted, which is kind of claustrophobic but really works! Like others, I wished it was longer, from here the game has so much potential, I really enjoyed it!

Fun little taster- I would like to play again after the jam is over and you've had a chance to expand it more :D

Really liked the graphics. Wish there was a bit more to explore. I was starting to be really hooked just when the game finished.

Thank you so much for playing! I took most of the jam time figuring out my engine, so Iโ€™m definitely planning on expanding it into a much more full game.

Ooooh did you make your own engine?

Developer(+1)

nah i meant โ€˜myโ€™ as in the one i was using, which is pico-8 :]

A solid little project! Would love to see it extended a bit more than the 60 second experience. I liked the (SPOILER) eyes in the walls, very spooky. I do wish the footsteps were a bit quieter, or removed altogether.

It is quite short but definitely interesting! I like the surrealness and the subject behind it. Great job!

This was actually surprisingly interesting! I will agree with Quit975 in saying I wish to see this explored a bit more than the serious note it was intended to convey. I feel the design and mechanics were absolutely wonderful and atmospheric, however the story itself simply failed to deliver the same quality the rest of the game had.

Overall, seriously good concept that I feel would be worth revisiting! Aesthetics were the true power-player here, keep it up!

Developer

This is my first game and I was learning the engine during the jam, didnโ€™t really prepare well lol. I agree! I will look into expanding it in the future :]

I'm not sure if there are alternative endings (played twice to try to find them) but kinda cuts short. The game is meant to touch upon a serious subject, it would be nice to see it explored a bit more. The retro esthetics are nice though (but the footsteps sounds are too much =D). Nice job!

Very nice, could easily imagine this being scaled up to a larger game! Was expecting something to dash towards me in the hallway, that would have been an easy and cheap scare haha =)

Short but fun and interesting! I really liked the visuals! Nice game!
