I really love the aesthetic of this, fits really well with the theme you're going for. And the small scare at the beginning actually got me since I wasn't expecting it (didn't read the game description until after) and the sudden music change really sells the effect. Good job!

Really beautiful artwork in this game! Amazing that you did it all in the jam! I was only able to play the web version which was quite laggy but I enjoyed the heavy atmosphere and was impressed with the level of polish. Keep it up!

Submitted

Nice game! The movement felt top-notch which really added to the polish of the game. Thanks for making this for us! Check out my game if possible.

Submitted

I enjoyed this one a lot! It's a very polished game for a jam, and that's something to admire, congratulations! You can also play and rate my game if you want!

Nice game, the polish is really well made,

But the view-port on my end was smaller than expected, which meant I couldn't see some platforms, so I had to jump blindly and die so I can see where the platforms are and then go through the level, 

which meant a lot of segments got really repetitive, 

I have no idea if there is a way to deal with the spider enemy but every time it showed up I died.

So the game is a bit challenging, but the art looks really good, and the narrative makes it interesting.

Nice work!

Super nice graphics I really like your main character sprite game is spooky and challenging you did a wonderful job in such a short amount of time!

Submitted

so spooky and fun!! the art style is really beautiful, and the atmosphere and jump scares were really tastefully done.  great use of the theme and awesome work overall!

Submitted

The camera was kinda clunky and the jumping was a little hard to get used to

The artstyle was really great though. I also like how you animated the main character, breath of fresh air:D. Great work overall!

(and yes, contains slight jumpscares haha)

Submitted

Looks good, plays good! Maybe it is just for me, but the menu UI elements were half off the game screen, in the WebGL build :) But great artwork and atmosphere overall!

Thanks a lot, im currently working on a small patch to adress some of the glaring issues regarding gameplay, making level structure easier to read and hopefully reducing confusion
