I liked the eyes following you as you explored!

Developer

Thx!

Submitted

Good narrative and an interesting take on the theme! I wish there was a little bit more to explore, but it's really good for a first game, especially for one made in such little time, keep the good work

Developer

thanks!!

Submitted

Great narrative, really compelling. I want to know how to shut that damn noise off, it's gonna haunt me in my dreams. GOOD JOB FIRST GAME

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing!! <3

Submitted

Loved the ending cutscene the noise wasn't annoying either which is great for the loop you had going.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

i love the eyes following the mouse lol

Developer

Lol thank you! It was a recommendation from one of my friends haha

Submitted

Wandered around for awhile not finding anything and was gonna give up but then saw your comment about the footprints and instantly found the way after that lol. Its extremely well hidden but should have guessed due to the eyes it would be over there. Definitely could feel the descent into craziness as I tried to figure out where tf the noise is.

Post jam I think it would make the game play a lot nicer if you didnt have to use mouse for things. e.g. for interacting with objects using space instead

The art doesnt really mesh together atm due to differing pixel sizes which makes it look more unpolished than it could be otherwise. Its also relatively simple art but it honestly works, the eye effect is great

Also for a thumbnail tip idk how your CTR is atm but I would click on your first screenshot as the thumbnail way more than the actual thumbnail atm. It overall seems a lot more polished

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I will work on my skills a lot, thank you! <3

Visually the game was great! Really managed to sell off that off putting ambience super well, all the subtle effects like the eyes and fireflies were also great. I'd say the only thing that mightve lacked was a sense of direction in the start of the game since there isnt much info so you kinda aimlessly wander around hoping to find something. But thats my only kinda nitpick though, other small nitpicks are just that the bushes have an oddly large square collider compared to their model and that the player animation makes it look like theyre floating when walking :>

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, the beginning cutscene I didn't have much time to polish as much as I would have liked lol

Submitted

I really enjoyed this! I think it hit me exactly as you intended it to. I got it as a random suggestion, and played it without checking any description. Got lost for ~10 minutes, then found the source. I was confused about the discs and hats and didn't get the point during the play, and then, once I got the end and went back to the house again, it all hit me, and I got goosebumps... It was a really pleasant experience for me, great narrative!

Developer

Thank you so much! ^^

Submitted

i couldnt find the noise but i almost threw up when i saw those eyes looking at me that was creepy

Developer

haha lol sorry! Anyways, the noise - follow the footsteps. It's a hidden passage.

btw i played your game  lol:D really liked the visuals and the sound design. i just wasn’t totally sure what I was supposed to do at times. maybe a few more hints could help

Developer

thx!

Submitted

This game seems pretty cool, and the audio just adds SO much to the vibe of the game, but honestly I was just wandering around clueless which didn't feel the best, so maybe could've added more hints? And outside of like the title screen, the art just feels very amateur, and I feel like takes away from the vibe of the game a ton as a horror game

3/7

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! This is my first game haha sorry! As for the hints, I tried to make the footprints kinda like that but I guess I needed to make it more obvious... Tips for next time! <3

Submitted

Great game! I think it could go well with some extra hints at what to do. Other than that it was pretty sick! Great art and sound.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!

Submitted

The game looks really cool, I'm stuck exploring but I LOVEE the art!

Developer

Oh haha sorry! A hint is to follow the footprints :)

Submitted

Pretty cool game, really enjoyed the scariness of it all, the fine tuning, the green vibe and text. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

I love the story here. A lot of Jam games don't really do "narrative". There's not enough time to add that onto an already very difficult task. Clearly you've cut a few corners with the polish/controls to focus on making a compelling story, and it has worked! I enjoyed my time with this more than most of the game I've played so far.

Congratulations on your fine entry.

Developer(+1)

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! <3

The audio really sets a tone! I wish the eyes would have directed me towards the items I couldn't find because I got a bit stuck!

Developer

Haha sorry about that! Thank you so much for playing though!

Submitted

This is such a cool spooky vibe. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Spooky!

Developer

:) Thank you!
