This is a pretty nostalgic game for me. Reminds me of days past messing around on my Nintendo DS in the PictoChat app. So I like the idea of using that app and giving it a horror vibe.
The drawing mechanic is really cool with the various different brushes you can use. It was pretty neat that what you drew affected the endings you get. The game was interesting enough for me to get all the endings. :)
I feel the story is still pretty unclear to me but I enjoyed it anyway.
The pixel art was amazing, like the tunes, great game!!! :D
Hey, thanks so much for playing! This is definitely inspired by NintendoDS Pictochat nostalgia for me (first console I ever got), a lot of games "nostalgia" refers to gaming consoles that were released before I was even born, so I thought I'd give the DS a bit of love :)
The drawings affect the endings only in terms of how "rushed/unfinished" they are. You don't need to have amazing drawing skills to finish the game!
Thank you so much for playing ^^
PICO-8 means a lot of graphic limitations (16 colours) but that inspires people to get a bit creative as to how they use them! Changing the colour palette was something that I felt should be possible given that on older consoles they allow users to change the colour of the user interface/UI.
Good enough to want to go for all 5 endings, I really wanted to find out and i'm glad I did! I wish it did a playback of what you drew to recap the story to you before the ending. I thought it was clever that you can't just blitz through the drawings, that foiled many of my runs lol
Great work, sincerely!
Thank you so much for playing!!
I purposely made different endings depending on the "effort" of your drawings combined with the dialogue options you choose when speaking to Cheshire.
The following is a rough outline on how to get the endings:
- Play along + put effort in drawing = Ending 1
- Be cynical/suspicious + put effort in drawing = Ending 2 (a/b depending on your choice)
- Play along + rush through drawing = Ending 3
- Be cynical/suspicious + rush through drawing = Ending 4
I enjoyed the simple doodling mechanics, and then I got SPOOKED.
I really like this :D
3DS Simulator 2020. Amazing art and I retro horror vibe works really well. Nice stuff
This game was very fun and I like the drawing aspect, especially the multiple brushes. I actually got scared when the face popped up on my screen. Great game with great graphics!
Very detailed and interesting!!! A very odd but cool vibe!! great job!
