I made a video of your game. It's at the 4:29 mark of this video.

The cards are the hook that stuck with me for this survival horror game. I think playing around with effects that change all the attributes of the game and prompt additional scares is a fun idea. There's even a potential for a roguelike function to this sort of thing that I don't think has been done before. Survival card collector?

Thanks for submitting PENUMBRA to the jam!

Super fun! I didn't think it would be so scary but gave me goosebumps trying to run for my life haha

The bad guy is just an evil grey stickman. He's not that scary, right? 

(Hears a bunch of static-y sounds when he gets close) I take back what I just said. o_O 

Anyways, the game was creepy but fun! I love how each of the power-ups have different effects. I had to be careful when picking one up, because some of them might backfire on me, such as the ones that slow me down and reduce my field of vision. Also, that ending was freaky!

Really novel submission - great atmosphere and polish in the scares! Well done!

The cards almost make it like a roguelike horror game haha. Visuals are really nice. The creature is actually quite scary and made me play safe the whole game, like baiting it with crows first before moving somewhere.

One thing I had an issue with is that the creature sounds like its way outside of the screen even when its already in screen and near you. Tricked me into thinking I was safe while it was actually closing in on me. Would've liked if the sound actually changed into sounding like it came from the center when its near you.

Regardless its just a minor issue compared to how fun the rest of the game is. I had a great time playing it!

Thanks for your feedback!
You're right, we had problems with adjusting the 3D sound and did not have time to fix.
Glad you enjoyed!

Cool, I love gambling. Getting effects from cards is fun, gambling is fun, so this game is pretty fun. Clever game over screen.

Really fun game, great job! Super well made!

Nice game. Good use of the lights and the sounds to make it creepy but also fun to play.

Oh wow, out of all the games I've played so far this one has actually given me the most scares - you balanced the speed of the monster and the distance of the light perfectly, and the unsettling nature of the creature along with the sound it makes really creeped me out! Well done!

complete it on the third try! the sound is pretty good. and the cards mechanic really make something to this game. The only complain though, the monster sound can came in different directions, I died 2 times because of  this. I heard his sound coming from the right, but when I go up, he suddenly is in front of me. Idk he's teleporting or what. but overall, I like this game

Very enjoyable little game, my favorite part was the intro and ending animations. The aesthetics and sound were also great, especially the monster's.

This was really well executed and it had a good twist at the end lol. I'm really impressed how smooth it played and how it good the 3D sound worked for the monster. Good work, I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Enjoyed this, has good graphics, sound and gameplay. Card mechanic is great, the limited vision works really well and adds to the atmosphere. Found all five orbs but sadly got killed shortly after... boo hoo!

One of the better games I’ve played so far. I liked the risk vs reward of the cards and it can be fully completed! Good job!
