This is really cute! The colors are amazing (makes me super excited for Fall and really sets the tone well) and the character design is great. One super minor criticism I'd have for the art is that it is sometimes difficult to tell the foreground from the background (for example, in the straight-on view of the main building, which otherwise looks amazing, it took me a second to realize that the things above the cabin were supposed to be trees in the background.) But considering this was all done by yourself in a month, I'm super impressed by how much quality art you got done. The fact that the characters have regular clothes PLUS costumes is so cute.
I really liked the story. I only found two of the three endings, but enjoyed the ones that I saw. (SPOILERS) For such a short experience, you did a really good job making the characters likeable (which made some of their gruesome ends all the worst in a good way!). The humor was also fun, I really liked "Mark is really dead though" in one of the bad endings, it caught me off guard.
I'm unfamiliar with Renpy, so IDK how important this is, but just FYI I kept getting some pop-up errors at the top of the screen saying "Warning: Write error: FS error" whenever choices come up (like whether or not you want to hear about the camp's history or where you want to go).
Overall, really happy to have played this! Happy Halloween!
Thank you for playing and leaving such nice comments! I think I can chalk everything up to time management, since I hadn't used Renpy or made a VN before, certain tasks I didn't think would take long took a long time, and others... also took a long time :) I think I'll be able to avoid the error message next time (at least it wasn't fatal!) and I really need to leave some more time to re-evaluate some of the color choices. I really learned a lot! In hindsight, I'd probably like to have fewer backgrounds in favor of more branching dialogue options (kind of like yours! hehe)
This is really good! I love the cozy artstyle, it makes the turning point hit so much harder, the story and characters are really fun and fleshed out too. Love this!
Awesome, that's great to hear! I thought that would be a fun way to do it to have these cozy/carefree/cartoony people (too many C's) suddenly thrust into a bad situation :) Thanks for playing it!
Congratulations on your submission. It's impressive how you worked on the story on top of art and programming! I love the art style. It's playful, fun, and then the spooky part hits you. Very beautifully done c:
Thank you so much! I'm glad there was a whole month to work on this! I'm glad you liked the story, I was trying to go for your classic horror movie story where everything starts off nice until every suddenly turns terrible XD
Congrats on the solo dev! Surpringly gory, which is a neat contrast with the Hilda / SU-esque designs. Fun, campy premise as well, which makes it feel like a classic slasher situation. I got a few error messages here and there, but no crashes. Nicely done!
Thanks for playing! The Hilda colors were a major inspiration for me, they are really interesting, like everything "green" is some kind of orange... Sorry about the errors, do you know what they were? As long as it doesn't crash it's all good! :)
The colors work really well!!
It was a "warning: write error: FS error" - I think first popped up when investigating the dilapidated cabins? But yeah, no crashes!
thanks! So I think that might have to do with the web version not finding a good location to write some data, luckily it doesn’t break anything! Maybe the way I’m handling some python variables in the renpy script…? Let’s both forget about it for now XD
I got the same error message but it didn't break the game for me. I ignored it and continued with the story :)
Congrats on first VN! And solo, on top of that!
Amusing story and the visuals are cute and neat. Love those background images!
Thank you so much for playing! I think I pretty much accomplished my vision for the jam, definitely spent a while on the backgrounds, but I'm happy with how they turned out too. I appreciate it! :D
What a cute, campy artstyle. It's colorful and eye-catching but still easy to separate the background from the characters which surprises me, really great job! Such an amusing little story, bro.
Thanks for playing! That's great to hear, I'm pretty happy with how the backgrounds turned out, always so much to learn! Glad you enjoyed it XD
