I really wanted to try this but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work properly. It might be just my laptop throwing a hissy fit but the screen kept coming up blank even though the sounds were playing.
I have no idea what would be causing that. Sorry about that :(
Does that happen immediately after starting a new game?
Yeah pretty much.
Like I said it'll be my laptop, I remember having problems with other games that were made in the same engine.
Don't worry about it, it's not your fault.
I really enjoyed this one! The aesthetics are beautiful, the storyline is good... in a way, I felt like I was the ghost, listening in to good writing, wanting to say, "You should write more." Great RPG Maker storytelling <3
Aw. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Looks great. Probably the most stylized game I've come across. The lighting and tile set do a great job at making it feel like a cozy little apartment. They both look really good. Towards the end I became somewhat invested into the story and what happened in the apartment but a lot of it is cut short. The pay off you get from a lot of the events is almost immediate and the relationship between the 2 isn't given time to develop. But given the time you had and the lack of playtesting this is quite impressive. I did run into a bug where you're supposed to call the Ghost's living father, so assuming my phone was in the bedroom I went there, and came back out only to have the flickering light event repeat itself. But that was the only bug I had run into. I had a bit of trouble on the last word prompt, as obvious as the word was. I'm kind of dumb. I assumed it might be a room in the house since we were interacting with the door. After that everything just falls into place and ends almost immediately. It feels like it had a lot more planned and was cut short by time constraints.
But I loved the game for what it was, and other than the text prompt it never felt like it overstayed its welcome. I was so intrigued by the game I didn't realize it had already been 30 minutes. I loved the 2.5d graphics and the lighting affects, they both look rad. I like the idea of the relationship between the two and I liked that something new is happening each day that make you do something every day. It made it feel fresh. All in all I liked this one a lot. I feel like it could've been better with more story to makes moments have more impact but again with the time give this is impressive and I am looking forward to seeing more from you.
Gosh, thank you so much for the lovely feedback! The story definitely has its shortcomings, but I’m glad it was a positive experience overall!
Great art and pretty entertaining game over all. It didn't feel like a drag like most of the games I've tried so far. I was a bit confused at first though, as I was trying to return the scattered objects to their respective places and didn't know I was supposed to do that the next day. The last input prompt also gave me a hard time, so I ended up just cheating my way by digging through the json files to get the answer. The pseudo 3d effect of the map was a nice artistic touch.
Thank you so much for the kind words and constructive feedback!
This looks so good! I wish i could play it, but I have a Mac computer :(
I'd upload a version for mac, but I don't own one and would have no idea if the game would even work. >< Thank you for the nice words though!
