I liked the gameplay but I think I got lost trying to find a key maybe and just ended up clearing the same rooms over and over. The graphics were cool and I really liked the music. Kudos for including a story in such a small game. Nice pixelart.
What a challenging game, but in a good way. The art and music are really well done. Overall the gameplay feels rewarding and the dash mechanic is cool. Great job!
I was quite impressed with this one. The mechanics are satisfying, the challenge is perfectly balanced, the story and atmosphere perfectly combine with the mechanics and world design - I loved this. I also appreciate the appropriately written (or chosen) music. All around, very well made RPG.
Great atmosphere (music, graphics) and the text drew me in.
Playtesting feedback:
- Maybe have a text indication of what the things picked from the ground and the ongoing damage are.
- I could not use the ranged attacks (do I need to find ammunition?).
- It was not clear to me what was a door and what only a decoration (e.g., I tried to climb a couple of stairs.
This is really neat! the whole aesthetic is really detailed, the scenes in the town, the playground and the stores, everything was really cool! the music is excellent and it controls very nicely. I wasn't able to use the right mouse long range attack for some reason, but I was happy to to use my sword. The exploding monsters that send flies after you killed me many times, was a neat little touch. I love the range of the dodge, that was really fun. Excellent work!
Really love the tileset, atmosphere, and intro. The character animations are fun, too.
Great atmospheric graphics
Thank you!
Great atmosphere! Im impressed with the amount of art in this game!
Thanks! I'm really happy with the art, my partners did a great job =)
I like the atmosphere in this game. The music also fits very well. The monsters are definitely scary. Especially the swarm monster.
But I didn’t really understand what I needed to do in this game. There was a lot going on in the church but I didn’t find a way to enter the locked room.
Also what is the blue recourse for?
Thanks very much! Yeah, it was hard to give direction because we weren't really sure how to incorporate the text for a while. In the church, you have to find three larger enemies that drop an organ. After you grab the three organs you can go through the locked door. The blue thing is essentially ammo, you can used a ranged attack by holding the right mouse button and clicking attack.
fun game atmosphere was sold well
Thanks very much!
On board with the great atmosphere train too :p good job
Thank you, I'm glad that made it through haha
Great atmosphere and mechanics. I like the creativity. Awesome work!
Thank you so much!
Nice atmosphere and visuals, the enemy that turns into a swarm of insects was definitely unexpected haha
Thanks very much!
Nice
Great, creepy story, snappy gameplay and great audio. The town seems like it was ready to expand on the story further if continued on.
Good Job!
Thanks very much! We had the full story planned out and only got to incorporate a fraction of it.
This is a creepy game. Writing really sets the tone here. I like the town design. I think ranged is but unnecessary since we don't have much vision.
I think you're right, I added the ranged before I really had a good idea of how everything felt. When we rebuild this it'll make more sense.
I like the writing and the graphics.
The enemies were fun to play against.
Thanks very much! We definitely didn't have time to bring the entire story in so we're thinking of starting over and fleshing everything out properly.
Really nice game. I encountered a bug, where pressing right mouse button wouldn't let me move.
Thanks for giving it a shot! That's not a big actually, when you're in shooting mode you can't move. Holding right mouse will lock you in place and then you can shoot with left mouse button. If I were to do it again I would definitely just make it so you are locked in your facing and not in place.
