I loved the concept is great and I enjoyed the mechanic of slowing enemies with a flashlight! I used a mechanic like that in my game as well! I found the flashlight being 90 degrees off from the mouse a bit frustrating at first, but I got used to it and it even added a little bit of a skill curve to aiming that I found interesting. Great game!

Nice concept and good atmosphere.

The flashlight aiming 90 degrees from the cursor was very weird and made the game hard to play (especially weird since the gun was aiming just fine); I also got stuck between the monster and a wall and died, which was a bit frustrating.

That said, bugs are expected in a one week game jam game, so overall a solid entry!

There is furniture in the forest. Its probably supposed to be in a house? anyways, nice visuals, pixel art and spooky mood. For me aiming with the gun was fine but not with the flashlight.

Thanks for playing. For me, all of the furniture appears to be inside of the house so I dont know what is causing this problem for you.

The aiming system didn't work too well in fullscreen and I cheesed the monster by using the corners of the mansion hehe.

Despite these minor issues, the character's movements worked smoothly and I really liked the way you guys combined the audio and art into setting this scary atmosphere! Nice entry!

Thanks for the feedback and for playing the game.

Good atmosphere! I felt the controls were a little clunky, but I liked the mechanic of either being able to see with the flashlight or defend yourself with the gun.

good idea and nice atmosphere.

I died by getting stuck in a desk or something like that, so I find it a little too dark without the flashlight.

Good work

Good job with creating the atmosphere. Diaries added a lot to the ambience and when i read the last one i knew its over. the monster sped up and caught me in the corner where i died :D Good entry

Really atmospheric and awesome art style. The sound design is excellent. For me, the torch was at a different angle than the gun but apart from that, it was glitch-free and enjoyable!

Thanks for playing the game, and yes the flashlight rotation is a problem I couldn’t fix.

Hey just letting you know this game refuses to open on MacOS :(

Submitted

Code RippleDeveloper3 years ago

Does it say that you don’t have permission?

ejenk0Submitted3 years ago

I just get "The application “Dissonant Psyche” can’t be opened."

I've had the same issue with a number of games in this jam, does the Mac version work for you?

Code RippleDeveloper3 years ago

Yeah. What version of macos are you using ?

ejenk0Submitted3 years ago

Good news! The issue was on my end. Turns out if the default Archive Utility on Mac unzips the file it doesn't work but if you use something else like The Unarchiver it works perfectly. (https://superuser.com/a/1474193)
