  • Eerie and atmospheric game about the little bumps in the night that keep us awake and wondering if there's something more. The subtle whispers in the sound design are effective and deeply creepy. The visual design and layout of the apartment are gorgeous in monochrome, especially the approach taken to the lighting.

Nice visuals and sounds - reall liked that. It was a bit short for me - and the tasks were always the same - but nice demo for a longer game. GG!

Amazing art and sound design, Are there multiple endings in the game? I would love to play a longer version, was super fun.

Developer

Thanks a lot ! There's only one ending (if you can call it that lol) but I'm glad you liked it that much !

Wow a great one! I love that sound design! That is the thing which made that game really creepy for me especially. The gameplay idea is really simple, but cool and clear. Graphics are very nice too.

So simple and so scary. Nice one.

I love the experience ! Disturbing and captivating ! Congratulations !

I really enjoyed the experience, and was left wanting more! The artwork is a definite highlight of the game, and the simple point-and-click controls really hammer home the fact that you're here to experience the horrors the character is going though. A small change I think might be worth implementing is toning down the brightness of the rooms -- I think it was meant to represent moonlight, but it came across as morning/daytime. I also loved that the clock goes back in time the first time a shadow appears, nice little touch! Overall, one of the best entries yet, keep it up!

Thank you very much I'm humbled ! 

Also you're the first one to mention the clock going back in time I'm glad !

The artwork is fantastic. A pity there's not much content though. I would love to see you make old black&white macintosh text adventure game with those graphics

Developer(+2)

Thank you ! The art was all the work by my talented partner !

Love it!  The art is gorgeous!  I just wanted it to be longer and was bummed when it was over!  Could use a little more audio too.  Oh and I loved being able to check the peep-hole.  What a perfectly Lynch-ian addition!  Hope y'all keep working on this after the jam!!!

Developer

Thank you very much ! We would have loved to fine-tune and enrich the audio of the game and make it longer, we still had a lot of ideas !

Submitted(+2)

Awesome idea! The only problem is  that it was too short. I would love to see a full game version. Great Job!

Developer

Thank you I'm glad you want more of it :D

Really great ambiance and art! played it twice because I thought I did something wrong. Would love to play it again once you guys get the ending in place!

Developer

Thank you very much ! That's so encouraging !

Submitted(+2)

Hey, I enjoyed this a lot! As other comments say, I do agree that it's missing a bit of audio to lift the energy to another level, but overall, I really enjoyed it! Keep it up! <3

Developer

Thank you so much !

Pretty cool! I can easily see it spun into a bigger project! With some proper story giving context for the scares, some sound ambience (like maybe really quiet  street noise?). The main problem though is that it was over so soon :)

There is one more thing, that I just noticed looking at the screenshots- the light in the room has more of "morning" vibe than "middle of the night". Didn't notice it during playing though, so it's not a big deal.

I'd like to see more of it, keep up the good work! 

Developer

Thank you ! That's so kind !

Nice short and simple experience, had a real weird and spooky sense of ambience and the art style was effective at complimenting that

Developer

Thank you ! All the art was made by my partner, she's glad you liked it :D

Submitted(+2)

I really liked this one. It has simple visuals, which left room for the "scares" to shine. Maybe music will help with the ambiance even more, I don’t know. Bedtime when you live alone can be scary sometimes, good job!

Thank you ! We had other ideas for the game but ran out of time :'

Seems to convey the experience of mental illness or perhaps a drug-induced delirium. Fun and creepy! Nice work.

We're glad you liked it ! Your interpretation is really interesting !
