  • A nice little puzzle game. I can see some connection with the theme of the jam and why the game was inspired by it, but the end product is a little loose on the theme (which is totally fine). I liked the mechanic of a friend who can travel through things, but only if you can see where to send them. Pretty smart. I would have liked if I could also do things, and therefore the two of us work together to make something happen, maybe. The game was smooth when it ran, but it had a few crashes. Two I can remember is the ghost going to the third room's lever when I wasn't on the platform crashed it, and then the 5th room I think, where I sent the ghost back and forth a few times because I hadn't figured it out, and the game crashed. Which means I couldn't finish the game ultimately, but I got the gist of it. The art is simple, and emphasizes the trapped feeling you have, so it worked well with the game. I liked the music a lot, it had a nice spooky ambience without it being uncomfortable. Over all, I like this mechanic and I can see a lot of potential for it. I hope the team learned a lot while making the game and maybe someday you'll expand on this mechanic into something bigger. I like puzzle games like this, and I'd be excited to see what you have in store for the future.

I like the concept of this game, the ghost is very much fren. Although I had some performance issues and some issues with levels loading.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad you liked it though! This was my first game personally and first time using Unreal Engine, so I am unsure of why you may have had issues with it.

I think the issues are completely on my end. The game was nice!
