I enjoyed wandering around searching the town even if I did only manage to find one of the items (I suck at stuff like that x3) The fog everywhere + the radio mechanic makes for a pretty eerie atmosphere. I sorta panicked a little when I got super lost in the thicker fog, haha, luckily, I found a wall that lead me back :3 

Was pretty freaked out the first time the radio started picking up that creepy sorta ghostly whispering! + The creatures look cool :D

Thanks for your comment. We're glad you liked the game and the atmosphere. Honestly, we really like that people are finding the atmosphere creepy but still enjoyable so thank you for letting us know your thoughts

Drenched in atmosphere! The first time I saw one of the spooky things it really got me! The area is so big, I wandered around mashing the radio button and only ever found two relics (and honestly both were by luck -- the radio didn't help much). You've got a really simple and effective formula here -- if you just make it a bit easier to track down the general direction of the relics, and make the scary guys more aggressive, this could be a great scary pacman.

Thank you for saying that about the atmosphere. We spent a while working on that! If we continue on with this project, we'll definitely have to tweak how the radio works. Funny you mention about the monsters - the AI broke with a couple hours left on the jam

Very spooky game! Loved the atmosphere of it - I had a bit of lag while running, but it was probably because of my potato PC. Excited to see where you take the game!

We're glad you enjoyed the game. So far we haven't had anyone else mention lag but its entirely possible, so thank you for letting us know. Currently we aren't sure how far we'll continue this project but it certainly was fun to work on

This game has potential and would love to this it worked on. Would like to see some more heavier fog areas to get more use of the radio.
