- Very cool game! Only the little shake the screen does sometimes could be an issue for some people but other than that: the idea is pretty cool, the mechanics, art style (wow for having managed that art in two weeks only!) and whole game is really neat! You made a fun game, I enjoyed playing it a lot and YOU CAN PET THE DUCK!!!! Thank you for making this game, please keep at it. Well done!

I love the characters so muchh, great work from the artist, especially the vampire drip. The game is short and cute, works like a charm ^-^
Vampire drip indeed. Glad you enjoy the game :D
I like the duck. I also enjoyed that you guys had the player input a name for the characters. Gives a little bit of room for immersion.
The parallax effect was a very good addition. Coupled with the camera effects, it elevates the visuals of the game. The visual effects of the mirror and the dust coming up as the character walks or stops and goes the other way are awesome touches too!
The stones and the last puzzle were my favorites, but the puzzles in general were well made and easy to understand. The cutscenes, character expressions and designs are also really good! Very nice touch on the vampire's eyes!
A veeeeery tiny suggestion is to maybe allow the hotbar to be scrolled through by the mouse wheel. Other than that, it's a very well put together game. I was really impressed and pleased with the dialogue boxes and their little details, and the dialogue itself reveals the start of an intriguing story. And the game itself looks really pretty.
This is a cool game. Good work!
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. I'm glad you feel immersed in the story and enjoy the puzzles. I definitely want to improve the hot bar. Thank you for the suggestion :D
The art is really lovely, not sure how you had time for full anime art plus animating a story intro, plus cramming a whole story into 2 weeks, but you did a great job. I did not forget to pet the duck! 🦆
thanks our artist work extra hard in the last minute for that anime art lol. I'm curious what did you name the characters? 🦆
already posted my comment on the game, but: incredible characters, beautiful art, fun puzzles, good story +rep i pet the duck
Thanks. Glad you like it :D
