This game was charming. I really enjoyed the way you did the tutorial of telling the player what not to do and the devil's dialogue was great.

I think if I was to pick something to improve it would probably be to add more for the player to utilise to be able to find the door. Currently it feels like you just have to keep exploring to find it which is a bit random and less skill based. It might be fun to explore giving the player more options to see like shooting out a ball of light or a brighter flashlight usage ability. Then you could explore having negatives to these effects. Such as attracting enemies when you use more light so you have to think about when to use it safely etc.

Nice job!

Okay, so, great job making me pack my dacks after getting caught the first time.

I am really interested to see where the storyline could have gone considering how the room changes and the furniture gets more interesting later on (who's house IS this?!)

Good to see the devil is an ape.

Really fun little game. The music and sound effects were jarring and suited the ambiance perfectly. Nice use of the theme as inspiration. I was kinda on the devils side though, Billy should go to hell for being a mass murderer! But the Devil can go to the moon, GME diamond hands forever. Good job.

The game is really good! I love the light effect you managed to create, the sprites are really nice and numerous and the dialogues interesting!

The only thing that would have been nice would have been to be able to control the dialogues with the keyboard and maybe a little more difficulty.

Just finished the game, Pretty fun, there are a few things I might do a little different but over all I had a good time, Thank you for posting this submission.

I really liked the devil's dialogue, i'm sure many people will say the same thing, It's just enough charm and wit to be funny without being cringe or annoying. Well done for sure on the dialogue! 

The controls were good. The walk speed felt just perfect, and having to swing around my light to find the door while avoiding the minions was in all honesty, pretty tense, which i assume is what you were going for. Well done with that, I think if you trippled down on that tension building you might have a good little horror experience if you wanted that.

Perfect length for the game jam too. I wouldn't want any more or less here. Again, well done!

There's probably three things i might do a little different....

     One: It's sort of unclear if the minions were spotting you, or you had to collide, i did both durring the game, maybe a sort of "Metal gear solid !" could clear it up before they send you right back to the start? Just a liiiiiiiiiiitle confused on that mechanic

     Two:  The long room at the end, Was there a checkpoint at all in there? I got caught twice and almost gave up because of getting sent all the way to the start again. I would definitely have appreciated a half way point.

   Three: Since the game has wit, humour, and charm, it woulda been fun to have alternate endings or maybe that's too meta, but when the devil is telling you what not to do, I tried to listen to him, it would have been a cool easter egg, maybe this is too much for a 3 day jam haha, but it woulda been fun to see some alternate ending if you followed his orders at the start.

All in all, wonderful submission! Please if you can take some time to play my game, i would appreciate it.

thank you.

Pretty simple and cool game with funny dialogues, maybe a bit more ennemies could've been cool.

Really enjoyed the game. The dialogue between Billy and the Devil was pretty hilarious and the first time I was found by one of the demons I almost jumped out of my chair XD. Congrats.
