I got the good ending. I loved your art and music and especially the ending. I think the psychic powers weren't needed and this could have been a stealth game as most psychic powers felt pretty weak. The story and your take on the there were very interesting. Thanks!! It was a great game!

Please take some time to play and rate my game as well. I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!! Cheers!!

Interesting take on the theme for the jam! The game really came together well with the theme, art style and music, and I'm not sure if it was meant to be 'deep' but I felt it was quite a fitting game relating to things such as mental health considering what has been happening this past year! 

I did notice that you're able to shoot through walls, so it made some of the content a little bit trivial as I never really felt in danger of my sanity dropping too low at any point, but I expect difficulty could scale over a larger game. For the time constraints of a game jam this is a really well made submission. Nice work from the team involved, I certainly enjoyed the experience :)

Fantastic game!

Theme:

The use of less sanity being more power was a great take on the theme. I would really have loved to see some sanity effects in the game when you had less, like eternal darkness, that way there was a risk/reward for having less sanity. Plus most monsters could be cheesed by just staying far away and shooting. Rendering the losing sanity for more power, useless. Still a great use of the theme though!

Visuals:

The visuals were fantastic! This actually reminded me of the very first game jam I did with my teams game "out of Sight". Honestly such a cohesive style throughout the entire game (except for the purple bullets) lol

Sounds/Music:

You had great creepy and atmospheric music with decent sound fx in place. So it went very well with the overall design of the game!

Overall:

The game was a great 5-10 minute experience with appealing visuals and an intriguing atmosphere. I honestly wanted more from the game, such as a fuller story and more interesting level design. Also the utilization of the sanity meter could really help make the game pop even more! I enjoyed my play through of it!

I streamed it here, starts at minute 14:

I loved the character design :D I think you did a pretty good game. I espacily loved the lowpass effect when getting insane. Like other comments said walking animation is not properly alligned. And shooting mechanic felt a bit odd for me. Other than these small complaints i enjoyed the game well done :D

I think you really nailed the ambience of the game, art is coherent (the only thing that got me intrigued is the walking sprite animation is moving left to right, I'm not sure it's supposed to do that?) and the music / sounds fit the ambience :)

The shooting mechanic was a bit lacking, there was no feedback to let you know you hurt the enemy (projecting it backwards or making it flash could be enough). So for a while I didn't know you could destroy the statues, and sometimes it took me 2~3 shots to destroy them, while some other times it took me 10+. Not sure what's up with that.

So overall, a cool game idea that's a bit held back by a lack of player feedback, I don't know if you had the occasion to get it playtested by people outside of the team, it can really help pinpoint the stuff that doesn't feel obvious to someone who didn't make the game. Regardless, I still had a nice time playing it, kudos to the team :)

Very uniqe idea and characters! The music and visuals are really nice, however I think the animation could use some work. Also an indicator on what I can destroy with my current sanity level would be helpful. Overall I liked the game and I think you and your team did a great job!

Really interesting concept! The vibe was great with the combination of music and art. I can imagine this being fleshed out into something bigger giving him a backstory and more impact when he gets stressed (distort the music maybe) Great work!!

It was interesting to play. Great idea and good mechanics! Good job!

Please check my game as well ;)

All of the individual elements of this game were great. I loved the art, music and sound effects but I wasn't quite sure how it all fit the theme. It seemed like the main idea was the more enemies you're near, the more stressed you feel and the faster you lose your sanity which seemed like more is more. Aside from the theme application though I think the concept is good and I only wish that there were a few more things you could interact with. I would have also made the enemies have much less health because I got pretty tired of spamming space. Overall it was a really moody and cool game and I especially enjoyed the art style and how the music changed when you got stressed.
