Hi! Thank you for sending the link to your game!

Positives:

1. The visuals and style are very cool. I love the graphics reminiscent of old PS1-era retro games, and that vibe definitely comes through in this game.
2. I liked the animation and font style of the text. It’s not too large and leaves room for the player’s imagination.
3. I really liked how you implemented the camera mechanic. The slight movement of the photo in space when we tilt the camera is a fantastic detail.
4. The sounds are creepy and well-done. I enjoyed your SFX.
5. The game is genuinely scary, and a couple of moments with ghosts sent chills down my spine. This game made me nervous at times!
6. The situations and photos were truly unsettling. I was especially impressed by the scary face that clearly wasn’t a 3D model, yet it still managed to scare me.
7. The setup and story of the game are great. I like that there’s room for players to piece together what happened on their own. I also appreciate that you tell the story through the environment rather than text.
8. The final jump scare was very well-executed and directed. It felt like a planned scene. Even though I knew where it was going, I was still scared at the end.

Negatives:

1. None.

Conclusion: Out of all the games I’ve reviewed, this is the only one with no negatives, at least for me. Every aspect is well-crafted, and I have nothing to criticize. It might be nice to add some music to the game—for instance, a gramophone playing a melody that could also feature in the main menu. Overall, for a short timeframe, this is an exemplary game, and everyone should play it to see what’s possible within a short jam. Thank you for sharing your game.

I also hope that you will play our game! https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2024/rate/3038320
