What a creative concept for a very specific theme. The story is fun but eerie. The art is, as always, on point! I love the look of this game. Your audio doesn't disappoint either.

I will say: you kept with your tradition of difficulty levels ;)  But seriously, another incredible creation from you!!

Nothin' like making a deal with the devil...

This is really cool! it is very difficult, and can be buggy at times. That being said, it is super fune, and has a great spooky atmosphere, well done!!

thanks Bbomb, yeah there are a couple of bugs I didn't have time to fix but hopefully nothing game breaking. Thanks for playing 👍👊

Awesome game!  The final boss was pretty epic, though the hand getting wider when it comes down killed me  when I wasn't expecting that. I especially love that the arrow keys let you fling your dying body around lol but seriously the atmosphere, the gameplay, everything was solid here. Great work!

Thanks my man. Yeah I cant believe I left default controls on the dead body haha oh well...

yeah it sounds like there are default controls for lots of stuff in construct lol, marlin did the same thing on his xanderjam game

yep there is. You need to disable it to write your own controls 🤦‍♂️

And it's always the first thing I disable... except in that game lol!
