Wow, what a great job on effects! Nice use of art kit, lighting, and especially sound design make the game really tense and atmospheric.

really nice experience. I was super engaged, really nice touch at the end. Amazing use of the art kit, love the light mechanic.

The King PathFantastic atmosphere, very eerie, and I had my headphones too loud so jumped out of my skin a few times.
My only complain was that it took me a little while to realise that the dark ghosts were coming at the end because I couldn't see them. Once I saw them I realised pretty quick I could use the light to scare them away.
Really really good game, well done.

Escape From Castle DoomThere isn't much left to say that the other people haven't already said. I agree with them. This is an amazing game. I never would have thought it possible that someone can build such a moody game of this type with the art asset we got. You really hit a home run with this one. Great job, rating this very highly!

Battle of the Bald MountainFantastic game! The sfx are top notch, very good work! It is very well made for a jam, specially being a horror game. We tried to make one once and didn't work out very well :P

Serfs GaloreAmazing and very effective horror game with great atmosphere. I was on edge the whole time. No idea how to solve the attic puzzle. I couldn't find a clue so I spammed the flashlight until I heard the switch unlock. If you'd put in an actual jumpscare I would have surely died. Fantastic work!

Monster CasinoFine atmosphere. You've used the artpack to great effect to build a well-realized spooky house. As others have said, kudos to the stellar sound design. I almost wrote the game off at that because I missed the attic puzzle, but after learning of its existence I went back and managed to figure it out. I also stumbled into the final puzzle solution mostly by accident. A very solid ending. Great work!

Castle of ImmortalsMy second 5/5/5 this gamejam

Dog GaloreLoved the atmosphere. Perfectly crafted and great sound design. A need to come back to this when I'm not to tired to figure out the attic. Normaly not my kind of game but I greatly enjoyed this.
Only thing I missed was the possibility to speed up text I have already seen (or did I just try the wrong keys?). Triggered some things more than once by accident or because I wasn't
sure I had seen it and waiting for it was a little annoying.

GravShooterThank you! Cool to hear it was enjoyable even if you normally don't enjoy this type of game. Hope you'll like the bit after the attic too!
Any button press should have sped up the text significantly, but in the build it didn't seem to speed it up as much as in the editor. Probably a framerate thingy! Now we know for next time :P
The atmosphere was great with this one, especially with the sound design! Actually got scared in that lounge area haha. I didn't finish, wasn't really sure what to do but after reading comments it appears I missed the attic puzzle. Could just be me being ditzy but I do love survivor-horror games with puzzle elements. Anyway, great game with awesome atmosphere!

The Old GuardThis game really shows how critical sound design is to horror. Despite the lo-fi graphics, I was still pretty spooked. Controls could be improved, specifically on sloped terrain but this game was based on atmosphere and it really nailed it.

Lair of the Mad MageLoved this game! I don't usually play horror because I'm a wimp but I decided to give it a try since I've just been playing everything that comes up on the "take me to a random game" thing. Atmosphere is great (so spooky!). My only qualm is the light seemed weird since sometimes the light shone behind me instead of in front of me but it didn't deter from the experience that much. I couldn't figure out the attic puzzle though so I'm sad about that because I really wanted to finish the game, but that's probably a me issue haha

Social AnxietyVery nice game, you really created a strong atmosphere! Unfortunately I couldn't quite grasp what I was supposed to do to progress but it seems like you added a lot of content and that tentacle thing that dropped from the ceiling was terrifying :)

Animal CrashGave me a couple of genuine frights! don't know if it's me but i seemed to hit a dead end after exploring all the rooms. Very nice atmosphere though with great storytelling
Submitted
Captain TanksThis was really fun! I think a point and click system would have fit the game better than using E to interact but I loved the atmosphere. Nice job!
Submitted
Depths of the DamnedNice game guys, really liked the atmosphere and the audio. It would be cool to be able to click to interact with items as an altearnative to "E" key.
I got stuck on the entrance when transitioning between the Attic and the Library. Overall, I liked what I played so far.
