Ah man, I thought if I beat the game with zero kidnappings I would get a good ending but I guess I wasted my time with a 2nd playthrough.

I'm not gonna lie, I thought it was going to get repetitive and boring really fast, but it didn't turn out that way. It was actually pretty fun. I'm pleasantly surprised how you were able to keep the game engaging by just using simple level design.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I planned a second ending but I didn't had the time to make it, so I'm sorry for wasting your time. Thank you again for playing and for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

I haven't played The Horror of Salazar House myself but from what I've seen of that, I never really questioned the retro vibe and aesthetic going in on this one. You absolutely nailed it.

I liked how every information is clear--when new cultists spawn in, the different levels of door integrity, the way the lights go out when a girl is taken from that house, and made clearer with the addition of distinct sfx. These are things often overlooked but really helps making the game feel fair, fun, and polished. A nice retro, arcade minigame with a spooky undertone.

Really liked the art style,  UI was really cool, very clear explanations of the game mechanics, fantastic progression throughout the levels too with the different layouts, had some issues with cultists being stuck, but overall fantastic job, well done.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm sorry that you had the cultist being stuck, I'll try to see what can I do to fix it. Thank you for playing! :)

Ah it was a very minor issue honestly.

What a game!
The idea and visualization is so unique and yet so simple, with spooky sound design and definitely that pixelated vibe to it makes the game even more meaningful. I loved it, all the nights and all the story it had. Mechanics for sure, really cool.
