I loved the concept, excecuted well. Music and over all feel was trully creepy. I woudl def add some quality of life stuff like pick your character or costume to go trick or treating. Perhaps maybe a slight chance to survive an evil tenant with some sort of input, so its not so much a gamble. Over all great game! Would like to see more of it.
There was the initial idea of selecting a character. I was working on getting the masks working but they kind of messed with the animations. Would've been a bit more time to get that worked out, so ultimately a single character was implemented.
Your chance of "survival" is tied to how well you can remember the tenants names and what differences may have caused a death scene. There are tells to when a door is safe to knock on, combined with who the tenant is.
Another concept idea was to have doors that looked like iconic doors in media. Ultimately that was changed to random color to keep with the Synty assets.
Fantastic music. I do like the throwback to the horror villain names. The game loop and how the story telling elements are a nice touch. The only improvement I'd make is to the jump scares - they need audio to sell them (sting and attack sound). Otherwise, fantastic job. Well Done!
All should have had audio. the scenes behind the doors aren't meant to be jump scares. If you have an instance that didn't have audio I would like to know. I watched a friend play through and heard all the expected sounds on their stream.
Thanks. It's intended to be a learn by the burn type of game. If you know your horror movies, video game villains, and serial killers, you can figure out a lot of the negative names. The rest is learning to read what happened and what is different about the door. Once you know what to look for, it gets easier.

Good concept overall, i can see it extended for a quick mobile fun game.

Interesting game, I liked the idea and the background music. My record was 3 candies lol. Well done!

A friend of mine also capped out at 3.
