Incredibly polished game! I really loved the use of bloom, the 3D audio, the chanting sound effect (all the sound effects actually), all these really gave the game a spiritual and spooky mood!

I think my only nitpick is that the night lasts a bit too long. There's a bit of downtime before the game gets to the spooky part, and it feels a bit too punishing (i.e. one touch of death) given the amount of time it takes to get there.

But overall, fantastic work! I really enjoyed it!

Developer

I appreciate it!  :D

Submitted

Really beautiful game with a solid atmosphere to it.  I forgot to read the tutorial but just about managed to work it out. Nice sound effects too :)

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Very polished look and I really like the concept!

Developer

Thank you!!! :D

Submitted

I like how atmospheric it comes off despite the original art assets.

Developer

Thank you! :D

Submitted

Now I have to go to bed with the lights on again. Thanks.

Thanks for playing!  :D

Submitted

Man, that chant if mesmerizing, cool game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!  :D

Submitted

I really liked the core concept of this game and how you used the assets blew my mind.

The only thing that bothered me was the exaggerated bloom and vignette.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!  Yeah, not everybody likes this aesthetic, but I kinda dug the idea of a bright and colorful "horror" game.  :)

Submitted

Nice visuals, and even better singing :D

Developer

Thank you so much!  

Submitted

visually stunning and great sound design. Wish there was more to do in terms of gameplay though

Developer(+1)

Thanks!  It was my first time trying to design a game like this, also my first time making an FPS.  I have lots of room for improvement XD.   I appreciate you playing and commenting!

Submitted

Reminded me of Five Nights at Freddy's, but with moving around and a soothing spell. Loved the cars used as faces XD! Great game!

Developer(+1)

Haha, once you see they are cars, you can't unsee it.   I didn't even realize they were cars when i was making those, I just grabbed the first thing I saw that looked kinda like a mask.  Then during a play test my friend mentioned it.   XD

Submitted

Feels like i am in Japan !!! Though the "How to play" guide should be a bit more clear ... but it is good

Developer(+1)

Thank you!  I did leave some things out because I wanted them to be a surprise, but it could have been better.  I had an idea of multiple nights, each ramping up, but the first night would be very boring with just the wells and I doubt many would have played it any longer than a few mins.  

Submitted

Loved the sounds, loved the atmosphere, loved the idea. The game was a bit repetitive at the beginning but picked up quickly, overall really great!

Developer

Thank you!  Yeah, it kind of lulls you into a false sense of security, doesn't it?  ;)

Submitted(+1)

Literally the only criticism I have is that the game could get up to its spooky shenanigans slightly faster. I must have done like three circuits between all three wells before I got my first yokai. I would have dropped out then if I hadn't seen all the buzz about the title already.

And if my only problem with the game is that I didn't get to see it sooner, that's a pretty good problem to have.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I feel like the beginning can *sometimes* be a little slow....but at the same time I didn't want to overwhelm players with things.  I say sometimes because the RNG that dictates things can sometimes be peaceful or absolutely evil lol.

That pink and green fecker stole me charm at 5am and then the dudes with mask took over me wells ): I am sad.

HYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuu   

Submitted(+1)

I really like this game. I made it to 3AM before the yokai took me. Also, **** that one that steals your charm haha. Great job! :)

Developer

Try to make it to 6AM!  :D    Don't forget about the gong, it's your OMGWTFBBQ reset button.  

Submitted

Ok I will! Yeah I may have overused the gong, haha. I need to time it better. 

Developer

Yeah, you have to resist the urge to rely on it too much, it has a long cool down!  I've seen some people kite the Oni in the early hours for a bit before hitting the gong.  This is kinda of epic to watch because there is no cap to how many can show up....so 20 + of them floating around is pretty intimidating. XD

Really cool Game. I love how the assets have been used and voice acting really helps the atmosphere. Overall 11/10 Chanting Game Devs, definitely would play again.

Developer

Thank you! :)

Submitted(+1)

The Chanting is 10/10

Developer(+1)

Thanks!   I found it on freesound.org (CC0) and did some modification with audacity.  The Oni sounds are me though.XD

Submitted

The sound really adds an another dimension to the game :) . Good job !

Developer

Game now has browser support!  I recommend playing it fullscreen!

Submitted

Damn I loved the ghosts designs, and the girl ghost made me jump twice.  Loved the eeriness yet colorful atmosphere!

Developer

Thank you!  Im glad you liked it :D

Submitted

really well polished game and creative use of assets! the atmosphere of the game was great and the sound design was great. I didn't see an end condition so I ended up just letting the spirits take me. The art and colors was great though, well done

Developer

You have to survive til 6am :)    

Submitted

ohhhh lemme give it another shot then

Submitted

made it to 4am shoot, definitely glad i gave it another shot, those teleporter ghosts are spooky

Developer

haha, thanks!  I had fun making her.  :D
