Very interesting concept, I love the details that we’re put in to make it feel out-of-time like the files for the games being from 1985. It’s really cool to see a text based adventure since they don’t feel so common anymore, made for a really great experience :D
The baby doll staring at me dead into my soul, is primordially terrifying, I really enjoyed playing through the game and it was really impressive for a 7 day game jam. The game also left me wanting more which I think is perfect for a game jam.
Great jam game! I liked a number of little details about the game; The inclusion of Beksiński paintings, which is very fitting for a horror environment. The ghost slowly follows you around, which was one of my favourite parts of the game, it did get a little stale after struggling to find the last trash bag but it added a lot to the experience.
I did find myself repeatedly having to turn down the volume as some things were especially loud, like the phone ringing. I’m also much more a bigger fan of suspenseful horror, I was glad the jump-scares stopped happening so frequently, at the beginning I thought it was a bit much, but I did also find some of them pretty funny.
I also think it would have been nice to add a content warning, just in case some people may have sensitivities to certain imagery, it’s not entirely necessary giving the nature of the jam environment and the genre of the game, but it can go a long way for people’s experiences.
Overall I think it’s a great game, and I had great time playing it ^.^
Glad to see you liked it what you saw, I think maybe a putting a tl;dr or a bolder statement about the current state of the game might have saved some fellow jammers confusion, we’re gonna see this one out and try get a demo out when we’ve got it up and running. Thanks for checking out the game ^.^
