this was really creative!

Gets you to think out of the box xD

There was a bug I felt out of the arena when grabbing a bottle otherwise, great game!

Really cool game!

I love the setting, and the atmosphere was great too. The dead eyes of the audience gave me the creeps for sure. Oo

The full-screen button wouldn’t work for me, and I fell through the floor next to the bottle on the table once. Maybe you could also consider closing the back-stage area to make the player feel more trapped. Otherwise, everything felt super polished!

The most horrifying things are those eyes of the audience.

Nice game, I really like the aesthetics in this one. The grin of the audience is pretty unnerving. The piano music was also adding to that whimsical, black and white messed up theatre experience!

Submitted(+1)

The storybook vibe of the art and sound are really nice! I played in the browser and the game took a long time to load, but I had no real issues once the game started

The visuals and audio pretty good

Very cool game, love the visuals and concept! There was one instance where i got hit by something thrown from the audience and it threw me of the map and i kept falling. Other than that, very good job!

Cool visuals!

Great art — quite unsettling, in a very good way. I really liked it!

Cool art and sound design. I had a small bug where no items loaded after the knife which made it very confusing, but it was enjoyable enough to play a second time :) I got both Compliance + Replacement.

you guys did a pretty cool game, well done!

This game is awesome! Maybe I'm weird, but I think your game has a cute art style, and its soundtrack is great!

Was it possible to live at the last stage?

Developer

There are two ways to clear it. You can either get the lighter from the top of the left stairs and set fire to the areas indicated by the spot lights.  Or you can get the lighter then go to the right of the stage get the bottle and then go to the left to get some cloth and interact with the host when he is chasing you.

The art and sound design in this was great! I wasn’t entirely clear on my goals, but then, if in real life a strange marionette-like creature put me up on stage and told me to entertain the crowd I’d be utterly lost and terrified too. Really spooky atmosphere!

I really like the atmosphere of this! And the story was intriguing, great work ^^

Sound and music was really good, ate that

Developer

Yeah composer did a phenomenal job. I'm glad you liked it! :D

Developer

Thank you so much Aria!!! I couldn't have asked for a better team. <3

I really enjoyed the game! The trap level felt a bit long (in one run, I didn’t even wait for it to finish >.<), but overall it’s really fun!

Developer

The trap level is an environment exploration based level. I wasn't able to convey that clearly. I'm glad you enjoyed it tho :D

I loved the art, sound, and overall vibe! I just wasn’t totally sure what I was supposed to do.

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked the vibe! Yeah think I left it a bit too vague on the gameplay side but you can either go along with what the host says and let stuff happen to you, not do what he says and cause disruption or find stuff in the environment to hurt the host.

I really loved the art & story, sound design was nice. End up with compliance.^^

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
