Cool idea and neat execution.. Having a human pursue a ghost instead of the other way around was a clever twist on the wildcard to me. Audio was also very nice. great!
A charming game with fun mechanics! I enjoyed tracking the hunter through the directional audio. And I also enjoy that one NPC that just shooting a TV
Thanks for this.
I like to put absurd things like that. I'm just a little disappointed I couldn't add more (even if the NPC who dirties the floor on purpose is not trivial either).
Nice game! The idea was similar to our and I would have loved to add a way to possess things in our game but there was no time for it.
Still, I had fun trying it in your game.
Thank you!
I'll try that when I have a moment :)
Cute and Fun game. Good use of the possession mechanic but do agree with others that it could use a button to leave early. Kind of wish the hunter was more of a threat, kind of just floated right past him at every moment.
Thank you.
Yes, the difficulty needs to be improved. The ghost is almost unbeatable. In the beginning, the hunter followed the ghost even through walls. I think I should have kept that.
Fun little game. Would have loved to be able to de-posses a body with a button. Also expected that a person would only be able to clean the things that were the same color as their shirt, but could do everything with every human. A bug I found was that when the possession timer ran out while I was cleaning I could keep cleaning that thing even when not possessing a body.
Thank you ^^
"Also expected that a person would only be able to clean the things that were the same color as their shirt, but could do everything with every human."
Ah, nice idea! That would have been great!
I also think the game needs some adjustments for the difficulty. The ghost is pretty strong compared to the others.
For the bug you mention, I've tried at some moment to make the interactions only possible when the ghost is possessing, but I didn't managed to make it work. Very frustrating...
Good game. Fun playing.
Thank you!
Fun game! Simple, enjoyable and chill
Thank you!
I liked how we got to haunt this time instead of being subjected to it. Possessing NPCs is one of my favorite game mechanics, so you got me there.
What would be useful to have is the options to leave / de-possess your host before the time runs out.
Thank you very much.
Yes, my girlfriend told me that would be nice to have a key for releasing the body, but I forgot to implement it. On the other hand, I find it more of a challenge for the player to feel trapped in a body when being chased by the hunter. ^^
