I really love this. I think I’m already excited to find another game based on south east asian’s folklore and the kind of phenomenon or spooky stuff we SEA gang (RISE UP!!) are more familiar with.

details/spoilers(?) regarding the game ngl when I saw the nurse I immediately suspected her to be dead at first, but thought it might be red herring (which was right). and THEN I saw someone's comment about Lia and the nurse hovering around like a ghost which is indicative of where they are, but my dumb ass the whole time thought 'huh, weird they're hovering. they dead? can't be, granny's hovering too. maybe it's for animation sake to show them feeling uneasy f;asd;d the leaps of my logic man.

I’m actually unsure if I even manage to get all of the endings, I have a feeling there’s supposed to be a true ending that I’ve missed ‘cause I didn’t play my cards on going to which ward first right :’D

I think it’d be nice if there’s a clear indication in (maybe in the extra or something) what ending or route I have unlocked or yet to unlock.

Anyway, I really love how well the soundtrack, sound effect, character/CG art, and ghost designs has set the tone. You guys did really well with even the scares that isn’t plainly a loud sound effect to force a startle out of you, it’s just a simple animation of the character sprite as they come onto you as the player really close with just the soundtrack and a little bit of the sound effect (nothing screamy and loud) to give you a subtle startle (if that makes sense haha). Since the tone of the game (and in the hospital haha) already gives that uneasy feeling, it definitely delivered in having even simple moments startle you.

I look forward to the longer version of this game, great job! :D

Oh this game was such a treat to play, the replayability on this is a great factor too! The art, characters, story and music were absolutely wonderful. We love spooky hospitals and night shifts, and I love and hate how the music gets more messed up :'))) 

Honestly I don't know if it's intentional but when I saw Satria my first thought was "Why isn't he animated and breathing-", subtle foreshadowing done so well if it was! Another example was the fact that Mrs. Mulyono wasn't particularly colourful- which made me kinda go "HMMMM is she dead-" when I first saw her. 

Also as fellow SEA, I'm SO PROUD of y'all representing SEA! I wanna shake y'all hands in our slightly similar culture (MY) cause Hantus and vengeful spirits here are scary as shit lol-

Developer(+1)

SEA devs LETS GOO! I wanna make a glossary for all the hantus, so expect that for the longer version!!!

The game is really cool! I had a lot of fun playing it! The visuals are really great, and the music and sound are well-combined too. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much!!!

Had a chance to play this with our game jam team and man did we mess up quick. We really liked the dynamic movements for the characters and scenes along with some of the subtle foreshadowing that became more apparent after our first run. The tension and build up was done really well with the atmosphere, music, and sfx. We all had fun playing through your game! Well done!

Developer(+1)

Ahhh thanks so much! Playing thru your game was a blast and I squeed when you played ours!!!

Really enjoyed the game! I don't know how the endings work be cause I got the 'normal ending' twice while saving different people. Is there a 'good ending' where I somehow help everyone??
Loved the characters and that Mr. X character reveal was..damn.
Also felt really bad for our coworker :<

Developer(+1)

There is a good ending if you save Angela and Mr.X, then Mr. Joko last! You cannot save Selvi since 

(Spoiler)




Going to her room only cause her death

Amazing work, you guys did a great job building atmosphere and a cast of characters in such a short amount of time. Balancing which patients to visit while providing a different but complete story for each one was very well done. Can't wait to see how far you all take this game

Developer

Ahh, thank you so much for the kind words!!!

Great job!  I didn't play it, watched someone else did because some of the scenes hit a liiiiitle too close to home for me and the whole thing was really well put together.

Developer

Thank you so much for giving the game a chance! And I saw on the stream! I'm gonna go play your game next!

This was fantastic! First of all congrats on absolutely nailing the feeling of unsettling and exhaustion that is nightshift on a ward! Everyone who's ever been there has heard/experienced stories like this and you brought them to life wonderfully! The art, the music, the writing were all on point and the choose a room gameplay was awesome. Amazing job all round!

I've been keeping my eye on this one when I saw it on my twitter timeline and this game is not only spooky, but surprisingly heartwarming?? The scares are really effective and I also LOVE the subtle details this VN had. 

(Spoilers from this point onwards)

I noticed that Satria didn't have a breathing animation like the other characters and wondered why, and when Mrs. Mulyono told Lia that someone is pretending to be alive, it IMMEDIATELY clicked on me and I was side eyeing Satria like crazy. He ended up being so nice though and I feel bad about what happened to him and how his family must've felt...

I also really adore each character's endings, as I've said, they're surprisingly very heartwarming! I even got a tad bit  emotional during it, especially for Mrs. Selvi's ending and Mr. Mulyono's 😭

Overall, an amazing game with amazing writing and art!! I really enjoyed my time with it! Thank you to the team for such a great game!!

I give kudos to everyone who noticed it because my beta testers didn't!! Thank you for playing our game!

First playthrough, no one died (I guess I didn't visit one person enough.... the choices! lol Love it!) but the twist ending.... oof.... I won't say any spoilers but I didn't see it coming and I am sad. LOL But in the good story kind of way! Great job!

A surprisingly heartfelt story and cast of characters, considering how creepy it comes across at first!  Really well done!
