I liked the presentation, atmosphere, and storytelling. It was a nice touch using different violin sounds for item interactions. I personally would have liked this more without the jumpscares, as they seemed a little cheap and unrelated to the story, but that's just my personal preference. It would have been nice to hear two or three violin BGM tracks rather than hearing the one over and over.

The violin totally adds to the atmosphere!

And I love it! I didn't know which one was Kate though.

The haunting omnipresent violin was a nice touch. I missed a bit of more atmospheric sound, but overall the creepiness and unease was on point. Great work!

Nice environment and music! I like the emphasis on the story too :D
The jump scares were nicely done, but I wasn't feeling too anxious, as the music was quite soothing ^^
Great game nonetheless! Thank you for this nice experience :)

I enjoyed the fact there was a world built around a story... And I love violin!

One thing to improve: I was stuck at the top of the stairs so I thought it was intended but apparently it's some occasional collision issues.

It had some good jump scares. I think the part in the castle is better than the outside part. I do had some small issues with text overlapping and got stuck while going down the stair but jumping helped. Anyway combined with the music the game has a great vibe.

The music is beautiful, Amazing job on that, but I think the jump scares are a little too much and too many, enjoyed the gameplay tho, good job!

I really appreciated that this game was mainly focused on the story, as it's very hard to usually fit one during a game jam! However, I feel that in terms of scaring the player, the game does a good job of building tension up until the player walks into the castle, but the castle itself would need to be a bit less illuminated to let the player wonder what's lurking in different corners. The jump scares themselves were paced well, but lost some effect when they lingered and I realized that they posed no danger to the character. The last segment of walking in such a tight corridor was a very claustrophobic experience that heightened the tension, kudos on that! Overall a great entry, congrats on putting all of this together in such a short period of time!

Awesome job. I thought the story was great. Also the jumpscares definitely got me several times. I love the poetry at the end. Its really cool how much you managed to get done in the short timeframe

I'm not a fan of random jumpscares without the game warning you that they're about to come, especially the parts where the demons pop out of nowhere. However, I do like the somber backstory and the spooky environment.

Pretty cool story. I liked wandering through the castle. Great work!
