Liked this enough to try over 4 times until I finally beat it and satisfied especially with how short this jam was, good job!
- Very good ambiance, solid choice of music and liked that the sound effects didn't overshadow the gloomy tone of it
- Good writing that hooked me quickly, careful on typos, (they're a pet peeve of mine but don't stain the experience)
- Reminds me in a good way of World of Horror you might also like if you haven't heard of. Though that one I found too scary to play myself lol. And I think yours works better because horror imho relies more on story than replay value.
- [ SPOILER ] Really like how one person attacking you may have been innocent
- Really like the ending leaves me wanting for more and seeing how else it could end were it a longer jam
Wishlist/Random improvement ideas as tribute:
- I wish combat had more player feedback. It's very hard to tell if [the item you can find right at the start] does more damage than punching for example. Would love either a number display or a healthbar or have their portraits deteriorate at health thresholds (though that's probably not worth the effort) or similar
- I managed to find [a key item needed before accessing the last area] but didn't see any text informing me it had been acquired, maybe a bug or missing dialog
