How does your game fit the theme?
My game is about a horror train , and the ghost starts the journey again and again when player reaches his/her destination. So the end becomes the starting of the new beginning . Until player removes the ghost's possesion and won the game.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes ofcourse.

Nicely done. Running from ghosts seems very simple. I enjoyed the "hidden items" part of the game more.

The intro scene when train starts, takes to long. Rest looks ok , good job.

Interesting idea with some fun mechanics! I hit some bugs, like the train departing early and the "depart" button not showing up. Also the screen just went entirely black at one station. I wish I was able to properly search each station, I was looking forward to finding things. The only negative thing is that I really didn't like the screaming when you lost.

Thanks for feedback. I will try to improve.

The concept was really nice, i liked the searching for the "horror stuff" but i didn't like the ghost system.

Neat idea! The idea of looking for threats in a moving safehouse (the train) is new to me. The difference between the real and inside your mind part is big but I think there is still room for improvements.

Some negative thoughts could move differently than others to make more difficult collecting pluses like going near the wall. I think tweaking with how you spot ghost in the real world could be better like giving tunel vision. Especially with sfx this could work wonders!

And I have found a bug. When I was looking through the window on the last stage screen suddenly became black and woman screamed and when the blackness disappeared I was on the first station again but with moved sprites.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, it will help alot.

I will fix that bug also.

Pretty cool, would love to have some music in background.

Well... Not sure what was going on there but enjoyed the creepy music on the train. Nice train graphics and moving scenery, slightly liminal space in a 2D way. Then, the brain and positivity... weird, but good. :-)

Developer

thanks.

Great game! The combination of finding eerie images and bullet-hell-like gameplay is a brilliant mix. However, I think your game could greatly benefit from stronger visuals. Despite that, the audio creates a great atmosphere.

I am learning to draw.

Ah, I see, my main concern about the visuals was just that they did not match a horror game well. Regardless, best of luck with your artistic endeavors!

Looks pretty good. Great job.

Cool art, Im not sure but the controls weren't working for me in the black circle minigame. I tried using WASD, arrows, mouse, everything.

Developer

wasd is the control, i don't why it is not working for you.
