Absolutely fantastic game! It is so well polished. I really like the visuals and voice acting.

I did get a little confused as to what to do in the first VHS section, so I ended up checking out one of the YouTube playthroughs to see that I had missed the page of the crucified nun. 

While it was neat to play the guitar in the apartment for a bit, I am disappointed that you did not flesh out an entire guitar playing minigame. (/joke)

Great entry!

That was crazy work for just a short jam. Well done. I really loved the amount of story you were able to jam into the game. I also really liked the sound design. Great job!

If I could rate it, it would be 5. 

The aesthetic is imacculate, truly. It wasn't really scary per se, but it was an experience to say the least.

Great job mate.

Oh my lord. I had to close the game because a giant thunderstorm was coming in and I was worried about my power going out. That little 'easter egg' scared my sh**less. Terrific experience xD Was this made by a solo dev? Great stuff!

Thank you for playing! 

Technically solo dev, if you don’t count the voices in my head. They mostly handled the sound design.

Found the part that should make me feel guilty strangely satisfying lol. Wasn't frightened, but amazed by the quality.It reminds me in some of the games that were published by critical reflex (Threshold, Mouthwashing, Arctic Eggs).

Anyways, great work and thanks for making a linux version!

Developer

A HELLISH HORROR GAME - BEST OF 2025!!!!!

What did I just play? This game was on levels beyond and even further. The atmosphere, disturbing imagery, heavy religious themes, a unique puzzle and a final twist that I did not expect - a whole package of unsettling horror and bonkers crazy gameplay. Can't say enough!

Best of luck with the game jam, I hope you win all the prizes and give my warmest hello to the discord server (that's a joke they will understand, hopefully). Cheers mate! You made a superb horror game.
