Good game! I wish I liked it more though, because it has a lot of atmosphere, cute monsters and I was ready to get a bit scared. But I didn’t really get what the monsters were doing to me, what my “health” was. If there was a way to “heal” and when I died it felt like “why did I die now” or “what could I have done in this situation to survive”, in other words that it didn’t feel fair. Which took away all the scariness. So some clearer feedback with how the systems worked and when something was hurting you from what direction would have been needed, I think. It looks really great though, so it’s a pity it didn’t really work for me.

It was neat running around exploring the map with the flashlight. I didn’t sneak / crouch anything since it required keeping that key pressed, which would have been much too taxing. If that was important and needed for prolonged periods it should probably be a toggle mode. Or at least have that as an option.

The controller was fine to me in the underworld. There were some odd cases of the camera ending up inside furniture and decorations, which could probably have been solved with adjusting the near clip plane. But not being able to strafe made the initial bit feel extremely awkward as it was layout a bit organically and moving towards the goal zigzaging with turns didn’t feel human. It probably would have been nice with strafe in the underworld too.

There were a lot of trees when I got the axe and I hadn’t seen the fallen one, so it was really weird for a while why I should cut down a random tree. And stranger when nothing happened.

Because how a lot of stuff didn’t align with the grid and there was no strafe it was also quite often unclear what could be investigated or interacted with. For example the tree you actually were meant to cut down could be reached from quite a few places and in several angles but it didn’t give any feedback that I was doing the right thing until it was gone. And so was I cutting all along or not. I wasn’t sure. Also after having cut down the tree, I sort of expected the game was teaching me I needed to cut things that stood out in the dungeon. But I didn’t find anything that seemed to react to my ax.

I might have been inclined to continue exploring if not the map was partially (randomly ?) reset after each death. The in-world logic for resurrecting where you were killed with all equipment you had but no map (memory?) of where you’ve been but a little from the previous life was hard to grasp.

I also felt like the flashlight before I died the first time illuminated the surroundings better than it did after the first death. So it became very dark and only walls shone up a bit.

Don’t take my complaints too much as such. I’m mostly a bit sad. The game had really good graphics, sounds and atmosphere in general.

I am a complete wuss and can't play scary games. I did push through and played a good while until I had to succumb to my fears. Gorgeous graphics and amazing atmosphere in the dungeon. The movement feels somewhat odd and the grid size is a little bit too small, most noticeable outside. Maybe the weapon should be hidden when mouselooking for items, since it gets a little in the way sometimes. All in all, great job!

Nice feeling of the game. Movement feels a bit weird but is snappy for movement but a bit slow for rotation.

Got outside the map in the indoors area which took me into "blackland" where I could move infinitely but still update the map.

The clicking on items to pick them up is a bit hard, sometimes the item is hard to even get into screen to click it so you have to stand in an angle to it. Maybe have items picked with E as you open close doors?

Some more work into this and you got something!

Okay, the atmosphere is creepy and the graphics are modeled very well. Even if it is a bit wonky, I liked collecting single shells etc., but while doing that the axe was constantly blocking my sight. Horror games are not my cup of tea and I usually avoid them, but you seem to have made a nice one for the jam. But please improve on the movement, the steps are to short, it could be much more fun moving around in your world.

Who said you could make a horror game? >:( I wasn't ready for this. But I noticed some really solid sound and I really liked the gunplay. However, the enemies are way too hard to notice. Nice game.

Cool dungeon crawler game with a horror twist. Not exactly my cup of tea but i respect what you tried to do here. There are some design choices that didn't make much sense to me like why do we have to hold LMB to keep the flashlight on or why can't we both carry a flashlight and the weapon? Another thing i don't like that the enemies attack you without any warning and you die suddenly. There's no feedback in combat. I tried to kill the enemy with axe once, but it didn't seem to damage the enemy at all and i died. 

Anyway, it's a different take to dungeon crawler genre. I appreciate that you wanted to make something that seperates you from the rest. 

Fun game! Spoooooky! I live streamed my experience and you can find it here:

I think it has a lot of potential! I can see the vision you had and I think it would be solid with some more polish and attention to detail! Good work!
