thanks so much!

that means a lot coming from you! i built the space before i wrote the dialogue because i feel like spaces are part of what create a story. so instead of writing everything out and deciding where it should be set, i modeled the setting and then used that as a place to write from, if that makes sense. i've been drawing and painting for a very long time and learned from that that i'm not a planner, i'm very much a discoverer. that's problematic in making something as complicated as a game but i've managed to figure out how to make it work everywhere else in my life so i'm sure i can here too lol. anyway thank you so much for playing!

i will for sure, thank you so much for playing and i'm really glad you liked it!

thank you!

it's surreal watching someone else play something i made lol, it's the first time i've ever seen that! i never even considered that putting two doors around the gate switch would be confusing but that makes a lot of sense. the game at the end does a hard quit, that's intentional and meant to be a bit disorienting. there's also more lines of dialogue after you open the gate and the fence but i was certain most people wouldn't see that lol, it was more to reward players that really connected with the vibe. smoker is placed in such a way that he's immediately in front of the player on the way out and hopefully a few people will talk to him and realize that the other dialogues changed, but i was totally aware that extra dialogue would probably not be seen by a majority of players. shy also has a line before you open the gate and i think that will end up being the least seen piece of dialogue in the whole game since she's meant to be near invisible on the way in. anyway thank you so much for checking it out and giving me feedback, i'm still very new so it's really appreciated!

thanks you! i put in the ghosts near the very end so i'm glad they added something heh

thank you!

i was working on figuring out how to get some sound into the dialogue right at the end, but decided that i didn't want to introduce any bugs so close to uploading it. i was going to try animal crossing style noises or character barks that went off when you interacted with someone. i do think either would've added something. yeah yuh know, for the horror, i prefer really subtle horror stuff, but i'm honestly super inexperienced with horror in general so i'm not really sure yet how to make that work. i wanted to build tension but i feel like i lack the tools right now, but that was the whole point in entering the jam, starting to try to figure stuff like that out. i'm really glad it was stable for you, i'm more new to programming than basically any other component but i tested over and over during the jam and focused on squashing bugs and watching for edge cases. anyway thank you so much for playing it and i'm really glad you liked it!

thank you, i'm still figuring out audio but i'm really glad you liked it!

luckily you can't even go shopping in the place, what a terrible mall. thank you so much for playing, i'm glad you liked it!

thank you so much! (godot is best engine high five)

oh i just commented on your game lol! i'm really glad you liked it, thanks so much for playing! art is the thing i know, still very new to making a game lol

i'm glad you liked it! i actually considered making the mall music a 3d thing but while i was working i decided i liked the music attached to the player a bit more. i'm really not sure which is better now to be honest, they both have their up sides. i totally agree on the footsteps, i put them in at the beginning and said i would change them, but then ended up getting used to them lol. if i was making it again that would be the first thing i changed. thank you for checking it out, i really appreciate the feedback!
