I made a video of your game. It's at the start of this video.
Amazing thanks for doing this
As others have said, the interpretation of classic Spectrum computing is spot-on and really evokes the sense of the 'lost game' metanarrative outlined in the game page. The game and its dialogue follow the beats of the adventure game style of that time, right down to using the context text at the bottom of the screen that you see in a lot of the games of that era to instill dread into the player. Lovely attention to detail and plenty to explore, and multiple endings make this much more replayable. That this was made in GameMaker is an enormous achievement in itself. Complementing MAERE, this is another varied and well-executed take on a horror subgenre to be proud of.
Thanks for submitting Stay Indoors to the jam!
It's a very solid game! You nailed the retro aesthetic. I'm definitely going to have to come back and try to get all the different endings
i find peanut!
love this c6 game, aesthetic sound design and idea.
Is a simple but enjoyable game
This is a standout of the jam for me. Great retro feel and sound design, and actually intense!
Amazing game!
Really liked this, mega retro with lots of thought and personality put into the world design. Absoloutely loved the creepy faces in the background in between scene loads, great touch. Couldn’t find peanut myself because I’m a disgrace of a dog owner but great game here.
Loved the extremely retro feel. The town is HUGE and I love how I kept finding new things/ landmarks/ people to speak to. Thanks so much for sharing~
This game is perfect. I love the MS-DOS theme in this game, it's very well executed. Plus, I got hooked on the exploration, which led me to discover all 5 endings.
This game put a big smile on my face (except the bit where I landed in Hell). Love the Spectrum-esque graphics, reminds me a bit of an old favourite Jack the Nipper (Gremlin Graphics, 1986). The modern audio samples offset the retro graphics very well. Great job!
PS You've out-retroed me with that tape loading sequence!
The nostalgia! Loved this
this was so much fun! still haven't managed to get all endings but I managed to save peanut on the first try, so I'm happy!
Got all the endings! The fifth one was really cool
Love the art style and sound design! And peanut was very cute.
My heart was beating not stop with adrenaline, that is what I love.
