The effects and visual presentation was excellent! Loved how you used the music and the ui at the beginning to create expectation after that the game mechanics create a great foundation, from exploring to finding new rooms and some of those scenes were really cool! The one with the Pick really is something haha! Great stuff!

A very enjoyable game! The mechanics work perfectly and have a lot of potential, just like the narrative!

Great stuff! Loved the art and the interesting, self-contained narrative. Good sound design as well.  Was interesting encountering the other members of the team, it'd be cool if there were ways to save them or learn more about them, but that's all candy on the cake.

My mind is blown with this one, the story, art, sound and gameplay all come together for such a tense experience! Sometimes when I die in a game, I'll admit I'll wanna hang it right up, but even when I got caught I was just so hooked on it that I wanted to see what happened next! I loved the hiding mechanic a lot, collecting notes is a solid objective and I like that taking damage is pretty forgiving. Really good game and I loved the characters and their designs!!

really cool experience, althought i think an animation for the walk would add a lot. the dizzy room is really really cool and i really liked the small interactions in the way

I don't know if it was intentional but giving you the option to hide before there is anything to hide from is genius. Immediately sets the tone for what's to come. The ending with the light where the music gets tenser until the door opened was so beautiful. Enjoyed this a lot.

I had a ton of fun with this game, it was awesome. I loved exploring the temple. The sequence before a game over with the door was a visual delight.

Developer

This was so fun! I loved the ominous atmosphere and 2.5D style, as well as the balance between the story and gameplay. A wonderful experience all-around!

Developer

Hey, thanks! We had a lot of fun building it. Glad you enjoyed it!

I loved it, the sound design and music really sold it for me. The End felt a bit abrupt to me, I wish we would have to runaway with our friend out of the catacomb, while being pursued or something like that :D

Developer

Ooh I love the idea of an escape sequence! Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
