I'm absolutely in love with the look of this game. All of the assets were amazing! Loved the spooky vibe the whole house gave off. 

Developer

Wow, thank you very much. Yes, these assets are of great quality, and the best part is that they are free haha

I liked the slow build up of tension, doing menial tasks while an evil presence lurks by. I thought there was going to be some sort of escape scene at the end, just ending the game in a jump scare felt abrupt. It took me ages to find the washing machine, had to look at a youtube video posted in your comments to see where it was.

Developer

I had thought of two endings but time was short and I had to make the simplest ending. Do you have any ideas what I could do to make it easier for people to find things? One says he couldn't find the dog, another says he couldn't find the dog's food and you say you couldn't find the washing machine. Thank you very much for playing and rating the game.

For me, I just didn't see that there was an extra room in that short corridor. If the washing machine was in any other room, I would've found it.

For the steak, it's in an odd place. It would make more sense for it to be in the fridge or on the kitchen counter.

For the dog, there could be a light close to him so you can actually see him. And, if I remember correctly, the door leading outside was in a dark corner, there should be some light there. And reduce the lighting in unimportant areas and objects. Players tend to gravitate towards shiny objects since that's what games have been teaching us to do for decades.

Nice game!

The game impresses with its cohesive low-poly style and interactive apartment environment, which adds to the immersion. However, the ending fell flat, as I expected more from the maniac setup than just a jump scare. While there are some odd design choices, like the misplaced trash bag, the game overall was enjoyable. Thank you for making it!

Developer

Thanks for rating. Yes, there are some things in this game that weren't so well thought out haha

Really fun game! Felt so sad to see that doggy outside alone in the cold! 

Developer

Don't worry, this dog is very resilient haha

Fun little game. I'm curious - were you inspired by Murder Mystery 2 in Roblox ? I noticed some similarities in the layout of the house and the objectives. 

Overall, great job!

Developer(+1)

The only inspiration I had was from the game Clap Clap, and the house layout must be similar because it is a free Asset, many indie games must have used this same house model. Thanks for playing

Fun little Halloween story with some nice retro aesthetics.

The lighting definitely makes it difficult to find some things, especially in the pitch black back yard finding the dog is difficult. NOTE for any others playing, you can find the dog by going into the backyard (through either sliding glass door in the kitchen or the door in the garage), then go right until you find the fence, then follow the fence left around the yard until you find the dog house, with the dog sitting in front.

Side note: The settings menu is broken, neither pressing esc or the on-screen back button seem to do anything. Also the video tab doesn't work at all.

I really liked the story setup and the atmosphere and aesthetic was really good but I was unable to find where to feed the dog.

Please consider checking out my game: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2024/rate/3054228

I apologize for the bugs you encountered

To return to the previous menu, you need to press the "E" key. I forgot to update the return image, so it seems that it doesn't work. And I added the "VIDEO" button at the last minute, I'll remove it.

The dog is outside the house, in the back, take a look there.

I'll check out your game this weekend, thanks for playing and rating my game.

Fun game. Nice job with the feel. I know you were going for the PSX look but couldn’t read the note on the fridge which I think might have been important. Also someone should really check the wiring on the house, lights kept going off all the time. Good job!

Developer(+1)

The light system that turns on when you are present was really broken haha. Thanks for the review
