  • I like the idea of the trick or treaters playing tricks on the person! The concept of each of them spooking the person as they’re trying to go about their day was really amusing and made for good jump scares.

I like the oldschool low-rez 3d look. Very cool.

Hey Chriv!

This was a cute little spooky game! Definitely got me to jump a couple times -- haha.

A couple notes after playing:

  • I really don't have any notes, but I would love to have a longer experience made out of this! 
  • Definitely would have been nice if there was some sort of spooky, jumpscarey noise when a couple of the kids spawn in and you look at them. Totally not necessary though because it was still really startling.

What I liked:

  • The first and third scare really got me because I was genuinely not expecting them to be there hahahaha
  • The sound when you interact with the kids is hilarious. I kept repeating the sound when it would happen :P
  • I liked the way that the text boxes appeared on screen. They were fluid and the background definitely made it so they were always readable -- good design choice!
  • The whole experience was succinct, charming, and equally a little terrifying. Great job!

That was so silly, it gave me a real chuckle when the "father" appeared :') Thanks for the spookiness!!

While the game wasn't scary, I still enjoyed playing. I like the "um, hello" sound whenever the kids snuck into the player's house and spooked them.

My audio was bugged out at first and the game was completely silent, but I managed to get it working in the end.

I like it. It's short and simple, exactly the kind of thing you want from a game jam.

Oops just realised I should have left my comment here:

I really love the visual style of this game! I'm not sure if it was just my laptop, but I was unable to move the camera whenever I was walking. I really like the dialogue sounds and the pixelated effect.

you know... all I want is to eat my pumpkin soup, take a bath and go to bed. this is exactly why I keep Candy by the door on Halloween, haven't had a kid here in ten years, this is exactly why I have it.

Nice visuals and a short story with a lot of 3D mechanics effort in it, GG! Well done mini game. The sounds were so uncomfortable (pro and con too).

Nice horror elements and feel to it! Love the oldschool vibe too
