Really enjoyed this one! The design was great throughout and story super intriguing. There were a few moments when i felt a bit lost and confused but rather than detract it actually made me feel more in tune with our main character Chris.
The characters were great and combined with good music and an ominous atmosphere, the game was genuinely unsettling.
I absolutely loved the lore of the baron and his realm and the artwork of him were excellent. The ending also did not disappoint!!!
Great game, well done😁❤️
This was such a fun game! The art was gorgeous. The character designs, especially of the creepy creatures, were amazing, and the scares and sound design were really effective. I especially enjoyed the Collector's design and the musical chairs game, which had me at the edge of my seat. Pun completely intended.
I got all the endings. The hardest one for me to reach was Bad Ending D. I had sort of given up on finding the last ending by that time so when it happened, I was taken aback in the best way possible.
Overall, I enjoyed this snapshot into the Baron and his minions. I was definitely left wanting more at the end. Congrats on making such a solid horror VN!
Like another mentioned, it was a bit slow at the beginning talking to Ajay, but when I was thrust into the other world I was HOOKED! Especially with the interactive segments. At the beginning of the hallway area I thought how neat it'd be if we could choose to move around, and sure enough an arrow appeared to choose to move forward! More could definitely be done with that (move left/right/etc) but for a game done in a month, damn. Kudos to you.
I'll be Kenney's friend ;_;
This game has wowed me and actually had me sacred at points. That means a lot since I'm not a person that get easily scared. The story and characters are very engaging and it made me want to see more. And the designs that I did see were charming on the humans and frightening with the creatures.
The only few things I can point out is that there was a background that wasn't working at two points and it would be helpful to have an option in the menu screen if you can see what endings you got so I could see if I missed any endings. And something that I would like to see is a place where I can see the CG's since they looked amazing as well.
Overall I has a fantastic time with the game. I would love to see more that you make
Wahoooooooooo,,,, I'm suuuper happy to hear that the scares were somewhat effective!ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ I have absolutely no idea what generally counts as scary or not, so I had to experiment a lot. I'm also glad to hear that you enjoyed the characters and experience! ♡
Additionally, I have released version 1.1 that solves the issue of the background that wasn't working! Though, adding a gallery for CG completely slipped my mind (╥ω╥)
Thanks again for the feedback! (´꒳`)♡
Cool game! Maybe the beginning is a bit slow but when things start to get spooky it was really fun!
