I'm glad the story went the direction it did, it's definitely true to life. It's neat to see an entry that was humanizing when horror games often try to make things scarier by deliberately dehumanizing their subjects.
Glad you liked it! I actually did a survey in the week leading up to the jam and the majority say the most scared they've ever been in a video game was because they we're afraid of losing a character they cared about whether its the main character or an npc. A lot of the real life experiences of fear they brought out all had to do with emotional attachments as well. It might not get the same screams but it certainly gets a more personal and memorable reaction from the player, especially if they actually risk losing something.
I like have its done. The story has taken me, and the music on the background was ideal for the sad moments.
Short -> but a great game, with few endings!
Thanks for your submision!
Really touching story. Nicely done. We want to say more but can't without ruining it for everyone who hasn't played yet. Good job!
Very well done and emotionally engaging. In a months time if asked to remember highlights from this jam your game would be mentioned.
This game felt very real and immersive and gave me an emotional reaction. I really appreciate it!
Nice. I've had a few situations like that in my life, too, and I've dedicated my life to other people because of it as well. Thanks for posting this!
That's what such short games are supposed to be! The best game i played on this jam so far (even though it's not much of a horror :P)
Good stuff: Surprising and neatly packed story! Visuals are also awesome
Bad stuff: Every time I turned around there was a bug that caused the screen to be black. Looking at the screenshots I was supposed to see the "Stranger in the night" stalking me i guess
