Love the reference to local58tv! Very atmospheric, the sound design was spot on.
Love the atmosphere! I'll admit, like almost everyone else here, that the first thing I did was look right at the moon- and wow is that beautiful. Played through it again and got the real ending too of course. The visuals and the sound design were perfect. Really good job with the game!
Thanks!
This is some neat cosmic horror! The ending definitely caught me off guard!
Glad it did, thank you! I have to thank a friend that had the idea for the ending when I told him about the game I had imagined.
This was really dope! As someone that's watched through the LOCAL58 catalog this is a cool companion piece. Absolutely loved the SFX and aesthetics, I'm a sucker for that retro look. Took me just a sec to acknowledge the compass function but after that things really clicked.
Thank you! I thought the compass was obvious but you're not the first to mention that it wasn't, I'll keep that in my mind for the future.
It was cool! The atmosphere was great! The hallway that you go down to get the final door was cool! Though I kept getting stuck for some reason.
Thanks! Yeah there's something wrong with moving while touching walls and such sorry about that, definitely gotta fix it in my next games.
Amazing game!! Would rate 5/5 stars - I love this sort of ambience.
Thank you! <3
Honesly, I love the way this game looks. Unfortunately I also love how the moon looks, that was my downfall.
Cool game!
Thanks! Well at least you looked at the bright side. Get it? Eh?
Great game, loved looking at the moon. Was a bit unsure about what the gameplay was beyond that though, just kept going around in circles. Really nice ambiance and visuals.
Oh, you're supposed to follow the compass. Thanks for playing!
Oh the compass was going haywire, maybe that's a bug. Lol I thought that was supposed to be like that.
Nope, it goes haywire for a while when it changes target, then it's stable until you get there.
oh that's on me I guess, thanks for the clarification!
Instructions unclear- I looked at the moon.
Joking of course. The audio was well done, it really built up the atmosphere you created. Nice job :)
Ha, it was all reverse psychology. Thank you! :)
Very well made. Can you please play my game too.
Thanks, will do as soon as I can!
I looked at the moon. Got'em
No, it got you!
Very nice horror atmosphere. I really like the pixelated (PS1) look :) Needed to play this because of the name similarity to my game ;)
Haha thanks! We need more do not look games! ;)
I really enjoyed the music and atmosphere you managed to create with this.
I walked back down the first hallway and I somehow ended up under the map. Just an FYI if you were looking at bug fixing.
Great job!
Huh that's weird, thanks for reporting and playing!
Super cool and creepy atmosphere.
This was really cool! All the sounds were creepy, even the doors opening, and the piano music was an amazing choice. I didn't want to look at the moon but it was everywhere I went haha Really well done I enjoyed it!
Thank you!
The Atmosphere have got me! I like the changing environments and mechanic you have implemented.
Wish it could be a little bit longer :)
Great Job!
Yeah I wish I had time to make more, thanks! :)
Indeed a good looking story, decent graphics and somewhat tense atmosphere. I enjoyed the game for what it was, even thou I don't quite like "creepypasta" based games, this one surprised me. Good Job.
Thanks for playing!
Very dream-like, atmospheric and creepy. The sound was all perfect. Feels very 'complete' compared to most jam games. Love it!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
