Hello,Here's my honest review,your game has a good story,the atmosphere is good,sound good,the mechanism is good,but after i got the 4 things and went to the statue or something.The chasing and blinking scene was too laggy.The first level was a bit scary because of the sound and the atmosphere but the next level wass tooo laggy. but overall the game can be better

Developer

Thanks for the rating and feedback! We’ll work on optimizing the game in the future, and maybe add an option to adjust the graphic quality.

Hello there, the game is not bad, i like the simplicity of the game and also the last part with the chasing monster. The monster part was great but i would make him maybe faster to make it more adrenalinic and scary, although it's a very good submission

Developer

I’m glad you enjoyed the game! I'll be adding difficulty levels in the future since some players found it challenging to finish the game. Thanks for the feedback!

I'd like to speak to the estate agent who sold me the property! (Great submission :D )

I’ll have to check if the estate agent is available for a chat! XD

Thanks for playing our game!

A good submission! 

Overall i thought the monster was a neat concept the visuals were nice and the menus were great artistically, it has alot of promise! But there were times where i found myself confused (The teleporting inside the house took me a while to fully figure out) Also, the exterior lighting made it very hard to see where i was going so i only ended up getting around 1-2 of the crosses after searching for around 10 minutes, also, this is a bit of a nitpick but an options menu wouldn't go amiss, the game started on the wrong monitor and i couldn't change it

Aside from those points its a very solid submission! You definitely nailed the theme with the art (Also, bonus points for having a controls menu, its something i ended up forgetting on my own submission lol)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate your insights about the teleporting and lighting issues, as well as the suggestion for an options menu. It's great to hear you enjoyed the submission overall.

You did a good job! The monster really got to me!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing the game!

You're welcome!

The game’s visuals and layout were aesthetically pleasing, and the central statue was both eerie and captivating. While the portals added a nice twist, the monster mechanics felt outdated. Improving the final scene and adding more visual or audio cues for the portals would enhance the experience. Thank you for sharing your game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you found the visuals and layout appealing, and I appreciate your thoughts on the statue and the portals. We’ll definitely consider new or more complex mechanics for the monster in the future and enhancing the final scene with more visual and audio cues. Thanks for playing!

Great work! I collected the crosses and gave them to the statue, I escaped the mansion and got outside, but I wasn't sure how to escape the ghost. I started trying to run out of the town area but there seems to be invisible walls blocking the doorways for the wall around the town area. I wasn't sure where I was supposed to escape to so I just kept running around for awhile, I was too afraid to turn around at any point and see if the ghost was still behind me lol. But I couldn't find anywhere to escape to so I gave up at that point.

Regarding that, when you look at the enemy, it stops moving. But if you look away, it starts chasing you! I’m glad we achieved our horror goal of making you hesitant to look back, haha!

This is a great game, though since i was blind, i keep forgetting where am i, or worse, what progression am i, or how to progress... its not the game's fault... im just too blind Ahahaha!
Anyhow nice game! definitely would recommend!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I totally understand how that can happen hahaha—getting lost can be tricky, especially when you're navigating through all the details. Thanks for the recommendation!

Submitted

i was a bit confused about progression in this game.
Overall great tense atmosphere!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing the game!

Great game! Love the sound design. i wish the FOV was a little more zoomed out though, otherwise pretty cool!

Developer(+1)

Glad you like it! I'll definitely consider adjusting the FOV to make it more zoomed out in the future. Appreciate the feedback!

Many interest things, the teleport i love that but the blackout effect outside was so long that i found it too difficult, besides that i loved the game and the mechanics

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the teleport feature! I really appreciate your feedback about the blackout effect—I'll look into shortening that to make it less challenging. I'm happy to hear you loved the game and the mechanics!

Good graphics and classic unsettling background audio! Admittedly I was pretty confused... I got 3 Celtic crosses and the objective disappeared, but that seemed to be it... I ended up waiting till I died. How do you get outside? (assuming from the screenshots)

Developer (2 edits)

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! To progress to the next objective, you need to collect all 4 Celtic crosses. 😊 Would you like to give it another shot? Let me know if you have any questions!
