One of the best of the jam

This is one of my favorite entries, the graphics are on point, it gave me a luigi's manssion feeling, while the sounds were very serviceable, the story was also interesting without it being too intrusive, and the puzzles were really well design with the colors. 

Suggestions: 

-Having a many system right away so we are able to quit game or adjust sound and such would help a lot. 

-Sometimes the areas felt a bit too big without them having any sort of meaning, instead tigther spaces with more details could be more interesting, and giving the monster a bit more personality as well. 

-Story could be improved in the way its portrayed, maybe with some images, text and music, it would bring more impact to the moments. 

-Some more polish. 

Overall, is a great experience and very fun game. 

Phew, it's obvious there's a lot of care and polish on this one, but it looks like it's on everything but the core gameplay, which isn't quite strong enough to carry it.  The creature design is excellent, and I love the use of lighting effects to convey tension. The bloom-y menu around the soul fragment upgrade screen is kind of a neat effect too. The whole leveling up concept is pretty fun and maybe the game would be better served by a lot of small levels rather than four absolutely huge ones. (though to be fair, to combat the big dungeon size, I just dumped all my points into speed). Anchoring is much more interesting than dragging and I could also see the enemy population going way up as long as the distances went down. It seems most enemies are neutralized by hiding behind the pyramids though -- not sure if it's a los or pathing thing, but they tend to ignore the player on the other side of one.

(definitely been there with the time crunch)

Really cool game. The machanics are really cool and well made. the game also looked really cool. My one and only complaint would be that the transition from the main menu to the game takes a long time. But besides that,

Great game. Keep it up♥

Such a sweet game. I had great time playing it from the start to finish, and surprisingly learned fast and naturally (so to say) how to utilize my abilities the best. Don't get me wrong, the tutorial was nice introduction, but it left me little confused on how the anchor ability worked and how I could use it against the enemies, but soon as I got to encounter couple of enemies I got a better understanding of it. Still though, you can see that some actual thought has gone to the mechanics here, everything is working out well together and feels like a solid package. I loved how you could upgrade your abilities too, rare to see, but it really gives that worth to exploring. Although I only invested twice in range and rest to speed, it felt that I had some control over the way I wanted to play. And the change in lighting/etc when monster is near is great! I loved the look of the game overall too. I think minus parts for me in the actual mechanics and gameplay loop is that dragging the pyramids takes a quite while, and going into a wrong direction can be easy, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily 100% bad thing either. Dragging, especially if I noticed I had gone wrong route and there wasn't any enemies patrolling, was quite a chore lol. It was just me, the shuffling of the pyramid and silence of the level. Which brings us to the one thing I would love to see, or hear: Some ambience sounds and more sound effects in general. Honestly speaking, if the game had minor sound effects here and there, menus, ghost making fun small noises, enemies making scary noises, etc, I'd say your game was pretty much done deal and golden! I think you all have done excellent job so far, it was a tense, spooky, fun and surprisingly wholesome experience for me. Bonus points for the small notes you get during the game, it was fun reading them when I was chilling in a safe place! 

And on a complete other note: I did kinda "cheat" the level design, I think the levels were pretty nicely designed, but some barriers/blockades in hallways were easy to just walk through. I assume it was not the point, since the character was stuttering like a mad, but admittedly it is a fitting ability to have for a ghost. So I think it was the 2 or 3 level where I just dodged the enemies constantly by going through the barrels and at point forced one pyramid to come with me over the barrels. This is not a minus or anything, it made things easier for me in the end, but I'd like to note it in case you want to patch certain places to be more solid or something ^^  Or maybe it's a feature, like said, it's a fitting ability for a soul. 

I feel like this game calls for pattern enemies - instead of random roaming. Plus you can easily save state run into q dead end save state out and lose the enemy. I'm sure the mechanic was based on taking more risks, but I found myself not even a little bit worried cause I could outplay it. Besides pattern based enemies are a puzzle in themselves and you can use the save state mechanic to change enemy state patterns and open up different choices on the map. Its also creepier because it becomes a logic thing that can even trap you into scary situation if you port into a dangerous place that change since you last saved the spot. The way it is now is simple, but I'm torn between wanting to explore or solve a puzzle. the other way the exploration can be scouting and the puzzle probably shouldn't be so large or should be segmented either way. Level being too big makes me lose interest because its too much work too fast.

You build a nice atmosphere and I like the monster design.
Also avoiding it has some nice strategy to it, with luring it out of the way by using the soul anchor.

Unfortunately I think the levels are a little too big and the main gameplay loop too simple. The levels got very vast and just took very long to complete, so I didn't have much motivation to keep doing it after the second level.
I like the upgrade system though, even if speed seems like the best option to me, I might be wrong tho.

Cool! I enjoyed this. Game game builds suspense in a nice way by not revealing enemies to quickly. The mechanic is interesting also. My only complaint is would be that the movement feels a little slow when dragging the thingies. Well done!!

I really loved the feel of the map! the art as a whole was really nice it all added to the feel of the game really nicely. I think the music could have been a bit louder as I forgot it was there entirely if i didnt focus on it.

I feel you had to drag the relics for a very long time it woulda been cool to see a more interactive puzzle or something but i understand we didnt have very much time but for the time allotted i think you did an amazing job!

I really loved the filter when you got near the monster too it was a really nice touch.

Overall I thought this was a really cool breath of fresh air especially the reflect mechanic!

Nice work with lighting and normal maps!

That monster gave me real chills :)

It did get tedious dragging the relicts around though, so I didn't finish level 2. Also, considering the amount of time dragging them around, they could have had a smoother audio loop.

Impressive to squeeze in upgrades and stuff in this short period of time. 

Impressive entry, well done!

I like the ideas you used for this with the ghost mechanic. Would like to see a future release of this

Quite pleasant atmosphere. I felt like the pushing segments were a bit lengthy, but overall game was a nice experience.

Beautiful game!  Love the mechanics of having that "safe" point to return if you don't go too far.  I want to try more games, but I will return to this one, once the voting period is over.  Excellent job!
