It's very well done! I can't even begin to imagine how you managed to get so much work, detail and charme done with such a small team, budget and timeframe. That's really impressive! 

However, I think it's somewhat unfortunate that you copied so many essential beats from Little Nightmares. LN is already a popular, unique and great game. So if you take this much inspiration from it, you had best made sure that you EXCEED the original or put a unique twist to it. Of course, that's gonna be difficult, since LN had a much bigger team and budget, but if you don't surpass LN, it will always breath down this project's neck and even though Obusite is a great game, the presence of LN makes it a "great game, but LN did it somewhat better." And I think your hard work deserves more recognition than that! So I'm excited to see more project in the future from you guys!

Hi Reineke ! Thanks for your comment ! We're happy you enjoyed the game !
This project is a tribute and to create it, we had to catch the essence of LN and make really hard choices : Art style, Ambiance, OST, ... And the line between tribute and parody is very thin so we are really proud to have reached our goal.

I firstly pitched Obusite to add an ambitious project to my belt and propose it in my portfolio. The idea was to show that I (and my team) could succesfully catch the genre and add my own twist to it : New visuals, new monster, new mecanics, new lore, etc...
The project was also a way to test the team and see if we were efficient together.. We are !
So if it looks like a LN AND its a good game, then we won twice !


The game don't have any commercial purpose and was a project within an educational structure made in a month and half by 7 people.

IF the game has a future we already have plans to get its own identity while preserving this cute/horror vibe  we all love !
Thanks for the support it means a lot ! :D

For now the game should be seen as a tribute and enjoyed as so !

Thanks for taking the time to reply; when I sent that comment, I started getting worried that you might take it the wrong way. But I'm glad you didn't! And I see your motivations now, it all sounds very good and like you know what you're doing. That's great, so I wish you best of luck for the future!!
