This game looks great, the flashlight diffuses in a really nice way. Visuals are overall fantastic, it's a pretty spooky game ngl, the title for the most jump scares from me goes to you. I freaked out so many times. The story is pretty small but feels dense, meaningful, and to the point. Your gameplay feels straight solid, and the whole puzzle mechanics feel good. Your sound design is phenomenal, but there is one catch... some of the sounds are too loud. Especially on death or when a ghost burns. I realize the intention could be to make them jarring, but these were overly so, hence the 4/5. But like I'm nitpicking cause ur submission was soo good. Overall absolutely awesome work!

(P.s. I'm sure you could take this to market)

I didn't notice the sound effects were too loud because I have a different sound settings configured on my Audio drivers (ex. Equalizers and such) lol, I'm happy you enjoyed the game! I am considering to expand this game in the future. Great job to us both on this Game Jam :)

The sanity mechanic is fast and good. The visuals are very pleasing!

Developer

Thanks for playing! hope you enjoy it :)

This game was stressful! You really gotta move fast to keep your sanity up, it took me a few tries. But it was fun! I liked the varied code hints, and the background music was cool.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! and by the way I saw your stream, when you reach to the end of the level (those flaming ghosts), you'll need to head back to the asylum to see the final sequence :)

Fantastic lighting and atmosphere! This game was very difficult to progress in though - after discovering the dead body the lights would no longer refill my meter, which made things difficult. Unsure if this was intentional or not. Also worth noting that after using an elevator the jump could now be performed in the air - in a limitless fashion. Overall though an enjoyable experience and a nice attempt at some spooks!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! The lights that a ghost approaches in will have its effect turned off by the way, its a feature tho. I added some platformer elements on the game so the character can freely move and jump anywhere like Super Mario does lol, glad you enjoyed the experience :D
