The atmosphere in this game was really well done, but for me, I really wish there was something to actually do aside from wander around the house. Maybe piecing together some sort of mystery, like you see in Outer Wilds, or something just to put the atmosphere to good use would've made this much more enjoyable.
I still thought that for what it was, it was well done. I just wish there was some sort of actual gameplay rather than walking aimlessly around a house.
Thank you for playing and your comment! You're right, I planned to make this a puzzle game with horror elements, unfortunately this is all that time permits:(
The camera movement is cool and soo is the music! Well done :)
Nice game!
Thank you!
The game is nice. The controls have a nice feel to them. The camera system is also cool it felt a bit slow in transitions so maybe speed that up. Also when you look at the pictures you can keep moving and leave while the pictures are still displaying. You can fix that by distance check for auto closing or by disabling the movement for that interactable only. I recommend disabling movement, i believe it is more common and easier to implement.
Also when i sit i can still rotate the character so disabling movement would work on there as well.
I havent seen any other bugs than these. Overall a nice game with a good feel to it. Nice music selection.
Thank you for playing the game and pointing out the bugs:)
Nice game! Kind of creepy at first, but wholesome when I got further. Good job!
Thank you!
Opera browser.
In order to interact, you need to be nearby, in 100% of games pop-up windows close when moving away, and since moving away it does not disappear and closes the view - how long does it take to search for the interaction zone again?
I'm going straight, the camera centering and its movement worked - the character goes to the side,
the button is still pressed and there is only one, barely noticeable due to the tiny size of the room.
SHIFT is indicated in the upper corner (considered a debug button).
And finally, if I wanted to leave an "evil" comment, I would not describe the reasons, but say that "the game is shit"! I recommend being less aggressive to criticism and not throwing defiant words.
Great music, and the gameplay is so smooth! Very good job!
Thank you for playing:)
Well done narrative! And subs! Awesome credits) Noticed bug (or feature): when i looked at photos I went out of them (i didnt press buttons) and after i couldnt close them
Ah! Thank you for pointing that out! Yes, I realized it is indeed an issue, because the way it is coded only when the collider detects the player allows action on an object.
The camera lives its inadequate life, the scene itself is very dark and the SHITF button does not work, it is impossible to close the pictures
Which browser did you use? You close out picture by pressing E again like every other things. Could you expand on which part of camera that does not work/ did not meet your expectation? And also, what do you mean by shift button (as no part of the game ever mentioned about shift button). Otherwise, this seems like an unnecessary and unproductive mean comment with lack of friendliness.
when the snow globe disappeared it really built tension like someone or something else was in the room. but eventhough nothing else happened I can see this game expand into a good horror/ mystery kinda game keep up the great work.
Thank you for playing! And noticing the missing snow globe haha! Exactly like you said, we did planned to add some horror components to it, although the snow globe is all the time allows. Thank you for your comment!
Amazing graphics!
Amazing graphics!
Great art style and atmosphere, very enjoyable for a small and simple game! The diorama for the map was a nice touch, though the camera rotates too quickly and gets a bit disorienting at times.
Nice little game! Very cosy and atmospheric. I did have a couple of bugs where the camera sometimes got stuck, or the bathroom unloaded.
Thank you for playing! What brower did you use to play? Bathroom is unloaded intentionally to keep the view less busy.
I played in Firefox, and it happened after I tried to sleep on the bed.
thanks for letting me know:)
Agree with the previous comment on this game, i enjoyed the artwork used in this game. Great voice work as well. The use of a diorama for the environment was a great choice and the ability to interact with the different objects in the room. Noticed i could spin the character around when i was sitting on the sofa.
Thank you for playing!! and pointing out the sofa problem. I noticed that too
Great art style and direction! For some reason I was expecting a jump scare or something, felt a bit creepy.
Thank you for playing! Was planned to incoporate more horror elements but a cozy game is what time permits, that's why it is a little creepy haha.
