Great creepy setting and story hook. Voice acting was a real nice touch too. Had some nice jump scare moments in there, and the health bar, while not that important, at least made it feel like there were real repercussions to being bad at dodging knives. The creature was sufficiently creepy, though sometimes it would linger in sight, which took away a tiny bit of the terror factor. I completed the game, but in a panic I ran to the final room and missed important dialog. Might be nice to keep terrified players from missing that stuff by default.
Overall I had a great time with this game, and I did scream a couple times.
Hey Human! Glad you checked out our game and enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback, too.
A HUMAN APPEARS
This game does not run on my computer so I've had to watch Hawk play this. Since it's a 3D game and its core gameplay is essentially a long chase scene, it is definitely the scariest game of this jam.
Sorry you couldn't play the game yourself, but thank goodness Hawk streamed them all! I'm glad you liked what you saw.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to play this since my computer is a potato, but from what I saw in Hawk's stream, this game is amazing and it's very imppresive that you managed to make something like this for a jam!
Thank you, we worked hard and there were several points the idea of dropping out was put forth because of the technical issues. We persevered and we're just as impressed that we made it this far I think.
Unfortunately, I have to review based on what I saw last night; I've run the game three times and it's crashed all three times, saying that there's a fatal error causing the game not to run. But from what I've seen, you guys have done a fantastic job. I agree with Phoenix that this game fits the horror aspect the best of all of the entries. I actually was very freaked out when the poltergeist came after the player, and not many of the games have been able to actively scare me yet. The atmosphere was also perfect. Just enough light to be able to see, but just dark enough that I can't see what's coming next, and the sound effects were brilliant.
Again, I'm very sorry that I can't actually play the game. I'll keep trying to run it but I don't have high hopes. My laptop's not too old (it's about two years, maybe three?) but it's definitely not a gaming laptop.
I wonder why? It ran fine for me o.o
I’m glad you like what you saw. If it crashes again, I would love a screenshot or text copy of what the error says so I/we can figure out if it’s game side or something to do with hardware of your machine.
Hopefully you can actually get to see it for yourself, thank you for the feedback!
I wish there was a health bar, part of me didn't know I could actually die
I'm ngl, I think this game fit the theme the most. It felt like the most 'horror' considering instead of just spooky! I respect that a lot. I was curious about the story, but it got me straight to the point and into it
I couldn't hear anything the demon was saying, the voice was too squeaky or distorted LOL
But other than tthat, I enjoyed it a lot!
But I didn't finish it, I kind of want to see the ending, if anyone records it! But yeah everything hit me. I didn't know if you could dodge or if things just hit you.
This was the last game I played for the jam..I loved a handful, but I think this is one of my favorites, and it definitely fit horror the most.
Also the use of sound fx was great.
I’m so glad you liked our game so much! We really went all-out for it. We did try to make the health display constantly, but that part of the framework really did not want to cooperate with us. As for the damage events, you can dodge them, you just have to either have good positioning or move out of the way in time.
As for someone recording it, well, guess who streamed the game last night? 😛 I’m sure the VOD is right around the corner.
Thanks again for playing the game and leaving feedback!
You worked on TWO???? ARE YOU INSANE?????? hahaha why are you so crazy
wait. Did I just miss it??? I was watching hawks stream, was it when I went to go make food or did I show up late?
Not two; three! 😛 My other-other entry is Exorcism HZ! The first two games of the stream were Bloodline & Exorcism HZ, so if you didn’t see them then you must have arrived late.
Nice an quick little game. Im not a fan of horror games cause Im a scaredy cat but this one has more tension than jump scares, which was appreciated. and thats why I enjoyed it. Great voice lines and sound effects.
Are the knives dodgeable or I just suck? I got hit by all of them XD. Also, It ran at an average of 24 FPS, is that normal?
I found a glitch where I died twice as soon I entered last room. There is also another one where prior to last room the item holder still shines blue but there is no item there.
Good solid Entry, good luck you!!
The knives were designed by KV to hit you if you didn’t immediately get out of their way, but can be dodged. There’s only one I think that is virtually instant speed.
Yeah, the game for whatever reasons, just didn’t take to optimizing very well and I would like to explore the issue as part of post launch care. So especially on the average to lower machine mine included, it will run a bit slower than liked.
Thanks for letting me know about the glitches, it sounds like an issue with either the entity or something related to the finale. We’ve already got some fixes in the pipeline for after the jam.
If you do I'd love to play it again and see the ending!
