Dude, you did the Alan Wake flash light combat mechanic, that's fantastic!! I used the same asset pack as you but your game looks superb. You add dust effects, character movement animation etc. The game is pretty hard though. Is the key always in the same chest, or you find in a different chest everytime you start the game?

Developer(+1)

Thank you <3

Very happy you enjoyed the game :D

Yes ! The flashlight is inspired from Alan Wake ! <3

The key is always in 1 place and 1 chest for everyone, no matter how many times you die, you just need to find it :3

After the game jam finish I will tweak few settings and add a lil indicator to tell you if there is a ghost near you, to make the game a lil easier :D

Awesome gameplay! Really well polished with small animations, particles and screen shakes. Well Done!!

Developer

Thank you <3

The feedback for different actions makes this very satisfying to play. The ghosts are scary but its so satisfying to shine the flashlight on them. The death sequence is also very good.

Developer

Thank you <3

Glad you like the game :D

Really like this one, there's a ton of polish in the animation and effects, like the squash & stretch when moving or the screen shake when shining the light on ghosts. The ghosts themselves were pretty tricky since they can go through walls, but I got lucky in my second attempt and found the key quick; super fun game!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much <3

Very happy you enjoyed the game :D

After the game jam finish, I will add an indicator to help you see if there is any ghost near you :o

Great job on finding the key ! B)

Those ghosts really come out of nowhere!  I really enjoyed the shining the flashlight on them mechanic and the screen-shake and sound effects associated.  I do wonder who left all of these chest laying around.  There's quite a lot of them... and some filled with ghosts apparently!  I think the worst part is when they come through the walls to get you since you have almost no warning.  Overall, great atmosphere, and I'll admit I was not able to stay alive and find the key :(

Developer

Thank you :D

Very glad you enjoyed the game <3

after the game jam finish, I will make sure to add some kind of indicator of the ghost near you :3

It's ok if you couldn't find the key :3 the dungeon is big :D

and thanks for the amazing feedback :D

Really good game ! (^w^) I found the door, I found the mimic... but no key for me ("owo)

I really like the ambiance, the light effect, the movement effect and sounds... Well done ! (o_o) It's a bit too hard for me and sometimes I felt like the ghost were spawning where I just check before... leading me to die a lot ("^w^). Most things I could say were already said by other comments (skipping talking to Bob for example)... so I'll just ask one thing :  Is the key emplacement random ? or can I die a lot and finally find it ?

Anyways; Thank you for making this game ! I really liked it ! (^w^)

Developer(+1)

Thank you :D

Glad you enjoyed the game <3

The key place is not random :o it's in 1 place in 1 chest for everyone ^^

so if you died in the game nothing will change, the key is still in the same place and same chest :3

Thanks for the amazing feedback <3

This game feels really polished, great animations and visuals and ambience! very spooky, I think the game would benefit from having a dash, both for exploring around faster and for avoiding ghosts, sometimes the ghosts spawn too close to a wall which can make them hard to avoid.

Some form of minimap to help you identify where you have been previously would be great too as it can be hard to remember.

pretty fun concept and well made for a 48hour game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you <3

Very happy you enjoyed the game :D

Amazing feedback !

I will make sure to add what you suggested after the game jam finish <3

Submitted(+1)

This is a great concept, I enjoyed the idea a lot and it was quite fun. I think if the torch started a bit closer in to the player it would be a bit more reliable to spot them, as sometimes even though I was sweeping it felt like I was missing ghosts who then snuck up on me. Finding other items if you keep hunting (like health pickups or collectibles) could be interesting too! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you <3

Very happy you like the game :D

Amazing suggestions ! :o

ill add some kind of warning when a ghost is near the player and will get the Flashlight closer, and yes adding pickups will be fun :D

Thank you for the amazing feedback <3 , i will add them after the game jam <3

Very well done. the lighting made the game tense and fun to play, wanted to keep playing to see what else i’d find. nice work!

Developer

It's really well polished, loved the experience. It also fits the exploration theme so well. Got some Alan Wake vibes from this game, liked it a lot! Only feedback we could give you is to make some quality of life improvements such as being able of skipping the tutorial part after the first time.

Developer

Very happy you enjoyed the game <3

Yes I love Alan Wake :D the flashlight is inspired from it ^^

Thank you for the suggestion ! 

i will make the game skip the tutorial part after the first time ! :D

Submitted(+1)

The game was very nice! I admit I wasn't able to finish it, I don't deal well with horror/jumpscare, but I still had a ton of fun! Maybe having some way to restore health would be nice! Still, keep up the great work!

Developer

Thank you <3

Glad you like the game :D

Thanks for the suggestion, ill try to add some health items on the ground after the jam :3

Submitted(+1)

Really cool visuals, the dynamic lighting and the player / ghost hit animation.
I like the cursor mecanics for hitting ghosts
Would be cool to be able to skip the tutorial after dying + to improve the lisibility of the textbox while moving the flashlight
Was fun, nice job :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you <3

Thank you for the feedback ! I will take them into account and improve the game when the game jam finish <3
