Use of the limitation
The dice is a good mechanic for a random variable, and there is nothing for scary that the unknow. So the dice is the principal mechanic, what if your world is created by the result of a dice roll, or crazier by many dices rolling and changing or even craziest, with cursed dices.

Cookies eaten
A lot, with so much coffee e.e

Cool! You used light and shadow in a good way. I could see where I was going while also being a bit lost, and the dice (our target) were easy to spot and not hidden by the effects.

What I don't get is the camera changes. I kinda wished it sticked to either top down or first person, but not both. I got inside the garage only to instantly walk out more than once.

Exhilarating. The atmosphere is amazing and definitely gave me the creeps.  The map is also really well designed and fun to explore! 

The concept is good as well. Though I was just randomly rolling whenever I had the chance as I didn't understand what I had to do all too well. The tutorial was also a bit lengthy.. I was able to get all the dice, but spent the last 160 seconds looking for the board and failing to figure out what I had to do to win before time ran out. 

But the art is stunning, and the music really puts you in the zone! The constant sounds in the background really added alot to the dread as well. Great use of the themes overall!

I love the atmosphere and the visuals! I wasn't 100% sure how everything worked but enjoyed myself all the same. The first person sections in particular were great, I ended up getting a really good jump scare as I was approaching one of the dice when a random encounter triggered as I was about to pick it up

thanks, that the idea that jumpscare depens of the dices and is hard to know when it pass XD

Glad that you like it x3

I wasn't able to find all the dices. I once found a red one but after that, I was lost. Great work on the 3D models. Few problems: outside is too dark to see anything(The first person in the house is good and I think it would work better if the whole game was like this). Also, the dices change stuff? I didn't find any change in any of my playthroughs. And maybe this is on me but I didn't understand what rolling your own dices do.

Developer

yes there are 2 dices in the normal site (heaven and sacred) and 2 dices in the devil site (bloody and dark).

Well the dark depends of the initial dices and the flashligth power too e.e

And your dices work to freeze the evil dices and avoid the constant change.


Really apreciate you play it x3 and thanks for the coments i take all of that in mind to reworked the game.
