I really enjoyed the concept to this game, positional audio is such a cool thing, it's a lot of fun to play a game based around it!
The game looks and sounds great! The main menu with the camera panning through the different rooms was also one of the most impressive menus I have seen in this jam. The art, sound, and particle effects are on point. You guys did a really good job designing the house interior. There were a couple minor issues like having the room dark as you enter a new room. I think it would have been better if the match were to auto light since the transition from lit room to complete darkness is a little jarring. I also found that I could walk through the pool table in the game room. The pool table is also very tall so it made me feel like my character was more like a child. Aside from those minor issues the game plays well and feels great. Excellent Job!
Btw I only saw POGStudios-Steg under the author section for the game. Are Zach, William, and Will working under that account or do they have separate itch.io accounts?
P.S. I would also advise the next time you submit a game, add a thumbnail, add screenshots, and customize your itch.io page with art and banners. You guys have put so much quality into this game and its deserves a good looking webpage as well!
Nice sanity meter mechanic! I like the implementation and the risk reward of the matches. Very well done!
Rated!, great concept, quite confusing at first, the atmosphere is good, and quite short on levels but overall good job! XD
will you help mine rate too?, I really appreciate every single one! Thanks! XD

I really liked the atmosphere, and the environments were really well designed. It looked great too! Good work!
I like the game. There are a few issues like the pool table not having a collider, but they are very minor. I like the lighting, the sound effects, the music and especially the graphics. Great work :)
realy interesting game! But i shouldn´t play it during the day.
In my opinion its a perfect Game for this Game Jam. The Theme fits perfectly, its bugless and i realy like the atmopshere! Its just a little bit to easy or i would like to play more levels.
Keep it going!
Realy fun game!
That was a pretty unique idea with how you find the ghosts. It took me a few tries to figure out that we're trying to find an item and shoot it though. Also the game room wasted a lot of matches for me, it took me a while to find a candlestick above the fireplace. Really cool game, great work!
Thank you for playing! We tried to throw the player for a loop with the fireplace candlestick, haha glad you figured it out!
I really liked this game! The sounds are great!
For those wondering how to shoot: HOLD left click so the match lights the blunderbass. Overall this game has a great mechanic and could definitely become a fully fledged game with additional levels and more ways to detect ghosts / identify fakes.
Thank you for playing! in hind sight we should have absolutely told the players to hold the mouse button. hope you enjoyed!
