This was nice! I liked the pixel art a lot, and the comments about the beds and the moved dead body were properly unsettling. Great work!

Very cool short game. It had a strong mood with the theme, visuals, and gameplay dialog coming together, but as some others have said, some more sound design would go a long way. It felt like playing an old adventure game. Nice work!

Cool take on the theme. Gave it a five star rating would be great if you did the same :)

Really digging the look for this one, I think adding some sounds would help greatly boost the creepyness! Loved the final screen with the bloody tv

Developer

Was that a…Pierce the Veil pun?

Very enjoyable game. It was interesting to see how the puzzles progressed and the top down angle reminded me of Hotline Miami. The art style is excellent. It left me wanting more! Perhaps you can add to the puzzle and game progression in the future. Keep it up!

Developer

you got it ahah!


I also wanted to make more before the deadline! I’m happy you enjoyed the experience :)

Trying your game soon!

I liked it a lot, although I think adding sound effects would have been better.

I couldn't agree more I wished I got a lil bit more dev time to work on a sound design :)

The low detail really works in it's favour with the constant droning that makes you uneasy. I'm afraid to admit it took me far too long to realise that spacebar was to interact with things so I think a main menu with controls would have been welcomed.

Hey ! Thanks for the review ! We were inspired by Faith by Airdorf Games and how this game can handle horrowr with very little assets and details.

You are right about the main menu thing. I indicated the control on the main page of the game, sadly if you download it on the submission page you miss it and I think several other people will have the same problem you had :/

I'll try out your game this week end !

I really liked it a lot, it has a very unique conceptualization. Every element on the map has its description, which I appreciated a lot. And as for the pixel art, there are some sprites like the broken screen with blood that go beyond just approval. Great job! 🥰

Developer

Hey ! this time around I got someone much more talented than me to draw the assets, I'm pretty happy with the result :)

Thank you for your kind comment I'll try out your game in the week end
