Very fair points and a really interesting read.  It seems nobody liked the Greta ending hahaha. Although that gives me an idea if I make a sequel (reviving Greta and allowing her and Alesa to be happy). There's definitely a lot of room for improvement if I want to make a B-horror type game again.

"Another idea for you to consider... maybe you could do a game with a male protagonist next time? Could be a nice change of pace after this game and your previous few ones."

Funny that you mention it! I've been working on a new horror game where the protagonist is a 62 year old male

Hello, just wanted to say, don't take those comments from horribly judgmental people who make weird assumptions about the game seriously. Just take what piece of criticism you find useful from the comments and ignore the rest.

As I said, the indie horror genre is full of games that are inspired by the 80s Horror B-Movies. I named the Night Ripper and other games by Puppet Combo as one example, but there's honestly so many of them that it's a whole sub-genre at this point. Your game fits very well in that genre. There are things that could've been executed better, but it's a game jam game, so that's to be expected.

Keep making games, you have great talent and are noticeably getting better at it. Your last game honestly came close to the RPG Maker horror classics like Witch's House. It was a very good game, even if flawed. Looking forward to playing your next game when it comes out! I'm sure it will be even better!

Thank you so much Beregon! : D
I'm already working on a new horror game and I'm implementing everything I've learned in jams. Since this isn't for a jam, I'll have time to polish everything and add more mechanics. I'll still participate in the next Rpg Make Horror Jam though, I never miss them! The Cursed Jewel theme sounds interesting!

Don't mention it! I find it inspiring how fast you create these games. What's that non-game jam game gonna be about, if you want to talk about it?

And I'm glad you like the Theme for the next game jam, looking forward to what you come up with for that one when it comes around! I liked how you implemented all of the bonus challenges from this jam into this game, do you think you'll try to do that with the 19th one too?

The non-jam game is about a 62 year old psychiatrist who begins working at an asylum for the criminally insane. I still have to flesh out the plot, and I don't have a villain yet, but the project is coming out nicely so far. I'll probably take my time with this one and try to polish it as much as possible, so it might take a few months to complete it (although when I'm really inspired I work really fast, so it might take less)

I'll definitely try to implement all the bonus challenges in the 19th jam, as I found out trying to implement all of them makes things more fun and interesting, as well as challenging. The midas touch one might turn out to be more challenging to implement though, but  I definitely want to try it
