Beautiful game and death animation ! But I could not find what to do except being screamed to death ^^
Thanks ;-).
I liked the art style and death animation!
Thanks ;-).
Got screamed to death, lmao.
The sprite work was great! Glad you got to do your first game jam!
Thanks :-) .
This is quite a nice entry! It reminds me of house quite a bit and has a nice art style and good sounds! I really liked the chicken guy design! I think my only little problem with the game is that it's too easy to die without having had any chance of surviving, like in the maze if you are unlucky and meet a dead end you can't do anything to save yourself. Other than that I think it's a really nice game!
Thank you ;-).
Amazing art and well made animations, specially the death animation.
Thanks :-).
This game got me good! I will keep playing until I can finish. Amazing.
Thank you so much ;-).
Great sprite work!!! Animations were great too.
Thanks. :-)
Don't know where the key was to leave, maybe im stupid. for the rest it seems like a nice game! Good job
Thanks :-).
This game inspired by "The house", isn't it? Maybe I've miswritten name, I don't remember for sure tbh. At first I didn't understand this game but later when spooks start to happen I was scared as hell! Nice work. I would add some interactions or a little upgraded movement but I understand that this game was made in a week or so
Yes; I was inspired by the game "House" to make this game and thank you for the feedback. :-)
While I didn't beat the game, I had a good time playing it. Here's how it went:
-That ghost lady can't see if I'm in the dark, right? (It follows me anyway) Oh god! (I get screamed to death)
-Ha! I beat the ghost lady! Hmm, what's this? (Plays jukebox) Um, okay. (Everything turns dark. Turns flashlight on) Oh no! Giant muscle birdman is gonna get me! Gotta go through the maze! (Runs into a dead end) Welp. I'm dead.
-Huh, the maze wasn't as bad as I thought. Now I'm in a mansion filled with ordinary people. Um, hello? Why can't I talk to you guys? Hey, butler. Give me that...whatever that thing is. (Zaps thing blocking key) Got the key and-what the! What happened to these people? They all have these creepy masks on and are now looking at me!
-Now I'm in a maze again. But this time, there's fake passages blocking my way. (Encounters a man with a mask and an axe) Run away! (Runs into a fake passage) Welp, I'm dead.
Thanks, you've almost finished the game. :-)
The horror animations are wild! Also the game is pretty long (in a good way) I do wish there were save points tho. The pixel art was also nice! All around pretty great game! I'ma try and go finish it (I got to the part with the mirror guy). Also exited to see what ya work on down the road!
Thank you so much; I can say that we are very far from the game I wanted to make at the beginning because I didn't have enough time. ;-)
Love the art style of the game and level design as well, it took some time for me to figure out what to do with sadako
Thanks :-).
Really nice looking game just a bit confusing at times but a really solid game jam entry!

Enjoyed ur game. A bit confusing what the axe does, but other than that very cool. I liked ur 2d lighting also.
Hi! Thank you you just need to break a ghost painting with the axe.
Ahhh i see
Thank you if you are any problem with the game let me know :-).
I advise you to continue afterwards, the serious things begin ;-).
haha will do
Cool; I hope you will see the Bird :-D.
So I tried hitting all paintings in the game with the axe to no avail :(. I know u probably dont want to fill this thread with spoliers. I just wanted to let u know in case its a bug
No problem; Wait for the ghost to appear then go hide and break the big painting of a woman :-).
