What was the origin story?
I've been messing around with various ways to attempt to make an actual scary 2D pixel horror for a while now, but finally comitted to finishing this idea

What a brilliant game. Everything about this game is just amazing. The gameplay, the art and especially the horror. 

Awesome work.🙌🚀

This game was spoopy to the max! I played a few times and have to admit I really suck at not dying haha Love how polished the experience feels!

Fun game! It reminds me a lot of Phasmophobia. The art looks amazing, the gameplay of slowly exploring the house looking for ghosts is fun too. 

If you wanted to improve I suggest adding a full screen button.

Overall really fun, nice work!

The atmosphere is top notch! The pixel art honestly looks like a finished game! The mechanics also are wonderful.


Only thought I had was if I got to a cabinet fast enough I felt like I shouldn't have to do the clicky mini game, you know I escaped detection or something! 


I did have one weird bug where I hid in a closet and sat there for a like a minute with no hands, but getting out of it, then back in, triggered the hands.

This is one of the scariest games in the game jam that I've played thus far (/ω\) really good job! 10/10 or in this case 5/5 lol

I LOVED the hands and having to keep the door closed yourself, I think it'd be good if it didn't happen everytime, just to keep us on our toes lol (remembered I didn't see what happened if caught or if didn't hold it closed, so I just went back and did that and it's quite the nice little spook! I think the face going slower towards you would be scarier, just to get a good look at it lol)

The level design, sound design, and sprites look awesome, I didn't realise collecting evidence was using the little tools at the bottom though, so I spent longer than I'm willing to admit clicking all over the house before noticing them (O∆O) lmao

This is a great game, I think with a few levels/different houses and maybe some different back stories to what ghost/ghoul is haunting each level/house it'd be even cooler. You nailed it for 2D pixel horror ●﹏●

Great stuff here! You should really flesh this out!

What is built out here is really well done and you nailed the atmosphere.

 I managed to escape but it's a little unclear what I was supposed to be doing, but I know it's just a quick demo so it's all good. Would love to see this expanded.

really well crafted game! The visuals are astonishing good, and the atmosphere was perfect. Maybe add some spooky music when the enemy comes for you?
Its kind of too difficult for me, tho. So sadly i wasn't able to finish it.

Nice work!

Pretty cool. Kinda reminds me of Clock Tower
