The atmosphere is very cool, I like that you limited the range of visibility, amazing work, I already have an idea how to make a game, there is a torch, and it is a certain amount of time is burning, and it shows the same area of visibility as in your game, if it goes out, the main character stops seeing something, and as in amnesia begins to see all sorts of things:D

I liked the flashing Jesus haha this was a fun puzzle game!

Developer

Thanks! Though I never really thought of it as a puzzle game, to be honest.

You’re right, I guess I’m thinking of the bouncing of the objects on the diagonal colliders. My mind instantly goes to puzzle, but I guess it’s not now that I think of it

The start is very slow, but the game was cool. I liked the torch throwing mechanic. Great submission!

Nice game with creative mechanics. I like the idea of settings up bouncers to hit the anvil.

You should try to get more people to play this because it is awesome. People really need to try this, especially if they are into horror games.

Developer

Thanks so much dude yeah I want to get more people to play it! I'm working on a WebGL build right now as well as gif screenshots which should help. This video actually helps a bunch I think:

Perfection. One of the best Christmas horror games I have played. I was genuinely scared. I did run into an issue where the anvil did not want to move. Overall, this game is amazing.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't seem to get very far into the game? There's a big semi-transparent boundary blocking the entire path, with no means of getting past it. Is this wall supposed to be present (as it seems to me that this is in fact a non-disappearing tutorial wall)?

Developer (1 edit)

The transparent boundary should disappear after you have found the G key, and have finish skipping through the dialogue at the top left using [E]. That said, this could be a bug I’ve just never seen.

I Dont see bugs, cool and beatiful game! Unique game on this jame!

Can you rate my game, and comment... it my first jam

Developer

For sure I’ll play it tonight

Developer

Thanks to anyone that plays my game! Please let me know if you see any bugs. In case you're wondering, the hexagon is meant to be an imprisoned elf but I didn't get time. If you want an extra challenge, try to free the hexagon!
