Spoopy game! I liked the vibe this game game off while playing. It would be cool if you could move the shotgun around faster (like flicking the mouse fast and it whips around) and if there was maybe a visual indicator of when the ghost was approaching on the screen (maybe the edges start to darken?). Overall a good game!

Very enjoyable gameplay! I am a fan of these jump scare horror games, and you did a great job capturing that feeling. Well done!

Developer

Really great game! I liked the lighting and sound design a ton. Fun and quick to play. Excellent job!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing the game, and really glad that you like it! I also really love your game, and the atmosphere that your game creates is what I really want to aim for! Again, thanks for all your kind words, that means a lot to me!

nice the game really kept my on my toes. My first play I shot the ghost as it hit me i guess so it died and so did I. but my 2nd time I was more on the look out and was able to get my 10 souls and leave.

Developer

Wow you guys are really amazing; I couldn't win just in 2nd time (even though I'm the developer of the game). But really glad that you can enjoy the game well! Thank you very much for playing the game!

Very atmospheric, probably the first game I played on this stream that's actually a bit scary. But once I figured out how to listen for the ghosts they became a bit trivial, but by that point I was almost done with the game so it didn't matter too much.

Nice work.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing the game! At the time you were streaming, it was about 2A.M in my place, so I couldn't watch you live stream :( But I did rewatch your stream last night so woohoo! It was really awesome! Yeah, there are a lot that I can improve in the game, and really glad that you can enjoy it well. Really hope that I can bring more content on the table for the next time!

Cool and enjoyable game! I won on my second try. I have to say, though the concept and style of the game is simple, I felt a good amount of tension in the game, needing to watch my back and having to try and find the ghost myself before it finds me every time it returns. I really like that the game features that kind of play, where you can either run and get the souls fast, and risk getting caught more easily, or play it safe, and let the ghost come to you (or just locating it yourself) and then getting the souls, but you take longer time trying to survive. Really nice! I also like how the flashlight can almost make the ghost's form "disappear", making it harder to locate it for when you're trying to light up your view of the area. Good work!

Thank you so much for playing it, and really glad that you like it as well! And wow 😳, I didn't expect someone to win the game that fast actually (not even myself), you're truly amazing.

Lol, thank you! And, thanks for the spooky experience!

I don't know why but I made the god forsaken decision to play without sound, but the experience it offered was great! I found myself genuinely scared/frustrated while playing cause I died when I wasn't expecting it and I knew I could've avoided it beforehand. It's a great thing to have your game be enjoyable in multiple ways like that, so good job!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing the game, and really glad that you enjoy it! But yea, to know if the ghost around, you need to hear the sound to know it 🤣

Nice game! I really like the music and atmosphere created, that works really well! I was always looking over my shoulder to find when the ghost would be on my tail again, which created a spooky atmosphere, and the noise of the ghost as it approached me, combined with the creepy white eyes, really worked well!

Critical feedback I'd give is to maybe make the souls a little more clear, I couldn't initally tell that they were souls.

Also, if you had more time, some cosmetic differences or decorative props scattered lightly across a few rooms would make it a bit harder to get lost (although now i type this, that is probably the intention)

Solid game and nice work :)

Thank you so much for playing the game and really appreciate for the feedback.

For the soul part, you absolutely right about it. At first, I created it with animation, and with particles effect, but it started to glitching and lagging, so I redo that again and just put a ball that shine haha 🤣🤣🤣. Though yes, I will definitely fix it in the future, maybe after the jam I guess.

And yes, about the room, I just duplicate the wall likes alot, and that's also why it looks like that 🤣

Again, your feedback means a lot to me, so thank you so much for that.
