Fun, scary and looks amazing!

One of the scariest games I've played this jam. The scares being tied to urgent gameplay definitely helps with that. I didn't pay attention initially and kept playing my game and fuckin' launched out my seat when the knocking turned into something barging in.

Nice submission.

Hi, thanks a lot. I am so happy you enjoyed I :)

The game is cool; Great atmosphere, interesting mechanics... Well done!

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate it :)

The game setting is very interesting, similar to FNAF, but you need to establish the entire difficulty curve of the game and adjust the in-game values, such as the difficulty of the "mini-games" and the frequency of monster attacks. Overall, this is indeed a good game.

Very high quality graphics and overall presentation, nice audio too, especially the gaming machine sounds! I'm a Linux user who runs Windows games using WINE, and sadly my WINE installation isn't able to run your game, sorry! Thankfully you've included a substantial trailer showing gameplay so, whilst not ideal, I feel able to give you a rating based on that.

Thanks for your kind feedback. I will make sure to create a Linux version of the game.

Never felt so unlucky winning money 3 times in a row! xP It's a really cool concept, playing two minigames to keep the monster at bay. It's well made all around. I wish it relied a bit less on luck, so I could at least feel like I could've done something different to survive. One time the monster came out of the window/glass door, I was ready to flash it but it attacked me in a blink, much faster than when it came through the normal doors.

I love the whole game, from the menu to the mechanics with those card.

Developer

Thanks, I am glad that you enjoyed the game :)

This game was soo cool! I like the aesthetic and sound design and powerups remind me of dishonored for some reason xD. Over all I really enjoyed your game! Keep up the good work!

When this was loading up I could have sworn it wouldn't work for me since my computer generally can't handle 3D, but it the performance was flawless. That's an amazing achievement in itself! And then the atmosphere, aesthetic and just flow of the narrative and gameplay were super spooky and genuinely scary. Also big thank you for the jump scare warning because I remember the relaxing maze video from back in the day and was watching far away with squinted eyes while playing the car mini game lol. I don't think I got far enough to fully appreciate the cards (they were a bit hard to read) and my powers, but what I had of the game was super spooky, atmospheric and fun. Good job!

Finally Unreal Engine game I can play! I swear unreal games just do not work for me, so glad this did!
Oh, I've never felt so much anxiety while gambling with slot machine lol But that being said, I do feel some of the animations took way too long, but I suppose it's also my fault for not being fast enough with my gifts. But small things small things, in the end, this was very well made, tutorial was welcomed and fun, honestly letting you decline the call would be a super good way to skip the tutorial, but then again... I declined out of sheer malice and would have not known how to play at all, so better this way :) Actual gameloop was nice too, I could see like why everything was the way it was, it was really well tied together, plus for the production values too. But I'm rambling here about this and that, the general stance is: Neat game, great work!

Yoo this is great! The multiple mechanics, the spells and their effects - really well done!! 

Developer

Thanks, I am so happy you enjoyed it :)

Good game. I like gameplay and abilities. But in roulette sometimes monet's get 4 times in row, and game ruined. Because I don't have time to get the ability. It’s good that you had enough time to create a tutorial. I quickly figured out the game.

Developer

HI thanks for your feedback, I'll take note.

I am glad you enjoyed it:)

Submitted

Oh my goodness how did you guys manage to put a game inside a game, that was incredible!

The main mechanic is really solid, had fun playing it and was very surprised!

The one thing that got in the way was how fast I died haha ^^ But everything was simple to follow, I wish the player had more time to prepare themselves!

But omg, the graphics, the mechanics put all together, well done!

Developer

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it:)

Looks and feels super nice with lovely animations and sounds. The loading screens were a nice touch. Game felt pretty slow in the beginning but game was overall fun and creepy! Good job :]

Developer

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed it .

I like the concept, but I think the ressources are a bit too thin to hold off the demons for long. Maybe because the slot animation and opening time for the cards is  bit too long.

The office layout is nice and gives off the right atmosphere. The cards are a nice idea, but their writing was a bit hard to read for me, as their effects also sound a bit cryptic.

Developer

I am glad you liked it. I'll take note of what you said :)

Gave the game a few tries, but was unable to get enough coins along with enough uses of the lock to keep the bad things out. Loved the design on the arcade cabinet and the atmosphere of the office. Thanks for sharing!

Developer

Thanks I appreciated it:)
