you're so fine lmao I wanna update it with more bars when I have the time, it demands them

Such crazy design going on here. Innovative use of tank controls, a take on the multi-monitor trope that actually feels fresh, "jank" that actually has a very deliberate place in the game's identity. Seeing a jam game with such concrete identity is so wild, full release when?

Coraline's a great reference point, really trying to straddle that line between cozy and horror! Thanks so much!

The fridge softlock is haunting me I've had this reported like three times now :')

Thanks for playing, gratified to hear the cliffhanger works! Hoping to put out a full version sometime in the spring.

HECK yeah appreciate you queenfaith

functioning as intended~

Heck yeah! Glad you were able to finish it- definitely some quality of life stuff that needs to change in a more polished version.

I always find SFX to be a particular challenge on Gameboy where they can feel very overbearing- I do agree there definitely needs to be more though! (and you know, music)

Thank you for playing!

For a test environment especially, it already sets such an immediate mood and tone- it's very evocative, I would love to see this taken to completion with some more authored gameplay! 

Can confirm this is just a first rough test lord Scrumbo- hoping to release a full-fledged version around March/April~

Lovely shape work! Loving the dotted cloud outlines.

Thanks! I have a strong commitment to guys of a rotting/decaying/resurrected nature so I try to showcase them as much as possible.

so true

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

All the reception to this little project has really left me inspired to come back and take the concept to a fleshed out, full length piece- so I'm deeply grateful for any and all feedback~

Thanks for appreciating them! If you use them in anything I'd love to see~

should just be the Z key to progress the dialogue!

Definitely close to what I think I'll end up doing, thanks for the input!

Given the positive reception I'm strongly considering coming back to it and releasing a more full edition- I have some ideas, but I'd love to know what you'd like to see in a longer version?

Thanks for playing! Glad you feel that way, as much as I'd love to polish it up I'm definitely unsure how much more I could add without detracting from the experience.

Closest thing to a "canon" ending the game has fs

Yeeeesss thank you!! Jumpscares are well and good but I would always rather aim for more of an unsettling aura that just sticks with you.

prepare yourself for the inevitable remake that has like two additional dialogue options and one additional color added to the palette

another satisfied customer~

Thanks! The dialogue trees on this one ended up really broken, so it plays a lot faster than I wanted it to- but the world would be a fun one to build more on, I think

Saaammee (exactly why I had to make it)

Thank you! I'm a huge fan of what lo-res graphics and minimal sound can do for horror, it's a great combo.

oof I KNOW, I've gotten this feedback a lot since I first made it :')- unfortunately this was made like 9 months ago at this point, and I lost the actual file for the game, (it was a quick jam project that I never expected people to look at), so editing anything would require me to rebuild the game entirely. I do luckily still have all the art though, so once I finish my current project I might put up a more polished version of this!

thanks! "vaguely unsettling" is what I strive for in my day to day life at all times, also pretty fond of "ominous" and "lightly menacing".

What are the odds lmaoo I'll shoot you a follow on insta

So based, also nice to see Barnacle Bill Roddy as an inclusion to show support for Lake Michigan piracy!!

Thanks! I think I just chatted with you on an older account of mine, did you happen to use a gbstudio fence set in your project?

highest compliment anyone could give tbh~

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

thank u for spending some time with it!

thank uuuu~

yeah, I made it in a very short timeframe and didn't end up adding as much dynamic choice as I originally thought- that said I think I ultimately ended up preferring the more linear narrative and removing any real effective choice at that point.

PIXEL REPLY

Churned it out in a frenzy in like two evenings so I'm very glad it resonated with you in some way~

thank u for playing!! thrilled that you enjoyed it~

Absolutely beautiful mood-piece, I would play hours of this

Damn that IS scarier you're so right, I'm a fool

CC0 is totally fine, credit is always cool but not required~
