I like these kind of exploration game, not that much into horror stuff though.
An earie music would have been really great.
This is a cool game, it has such a great atmosphere and the photo developing mechanic was very fun. Great job!
I've been eaten by house indeed. Cool atmosphere. Mouse sensitivity is crazy high though (or at least In a web version). Cool game nonetheless. Good work.
I do not get how to progress in the game, but the creepy atmosphere is incredible.
Oh hey! You're the person who made a creepy game about the haunted lighthouse in last year's Scream Jam! It's nice to see you participate in this jam and create another scary and creepy game! That being said, I wonder if there was a way to get out of the house after I finish all of my tasks? Or was my character doomed from the beginning?
It’s unplayable my PC doesn’t run it, it only ran for 1 minute and crashed
Wow there is so much packed in such a small space. This game is crazy cool. I inspire to be this good one day.
Wish the walking and shaking the pictures was faster but the game looks very well made
This game was very well put together especially given the timeframe. I enjoyed it wholly.
Incredible portrait of the rabbit, I took several pictures. I was then [redacted]
Idk if that counts toward the theme tbh lol. But solid stuff. Good job adjusting the sound. One or a few of the footstep sounds for the wood have a weird crunch to them. Going from the outside into the house could use a fade in between the ambient backgrounds.
The atmosphere is really creepy, but that's all. Jumpscares happen only when you take a picture, which makes them very predictable. Also, the whole spooky vibe disappears when entering the attic, since it stops being realistic. Not to mention that the game has no original feature that would make it unique or to tie it to the theme.
Good luck with your Steam game though!
An atmospheric project! Unfortunately I got stuck in the basement unable to get out :(
Downloaded but got a "Unable to parse Build/gmtk2024.framework.js.gz!" error :( Was looking forward to trying it out
Movement felt a little slow. I wasn't sure what to do in the house, so I just walked around and took pictures.
Not sure if it fits the theme. But the game is done pretty well.
Gotta review this one slightly honestly. This looks like another one of the hundreds of PSX style horror games already on Itch.io. The relation to the theme is barely hinted at in any way, a casual player wouldn't even think of anything regarding scale in this.
Gameplay wise it's simply a walking simulator, lacks much of the building of fear and depth and ends super abruptly with no reward or scare factor whatsoever.
I believe a slight more relation to the theme, having the camera be a little more useful and working on overall more on it gameplay wise would have helped greatly. It feels as if this game was already thought of and made with free assets before the theme was even released
I feel that being overly critic over a game from a game jam is always kinda uncalled for. But I feel why you would feel this way since I do too fail to see the relation with the theme, which leads the cynic in me to think as you said, this was mostly premade.
Cheers
Stunningly polished for the short jam timespan. I'm blown away by this! Also, that's the same model of Polaroid camera I have in my desk drawer! Really fun to see it brought to life here. Excellently spooky, and the kind of thing I'd expect to see on the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc compilations! Awesome work!
Nice environment, you really feel the horror,
Well done!
Had some trouble running this on my macOs :(
Interesting game. I'm not really a big fan of horror games, but I found the idea pretty creative.
