What a ride! I really enjoyed the humor. I got stuck more than I should have (trying every item on everything), but I think I managed to finish it (POV of God and the flying face). Really creepy, really fun! You might want to add a warning, though… the level of self-harm went through the roof! :)
I did put the tag "mature" on the game, but yeah - an in-game warning would have been good. I ran out of time. After the rating is over I'll clean up a few things including that. Good to know the humor came through! I think with such dark themes the humor is important.
Pleasently horrifying experience :) Good match with the music to build the atmosphere and loved the humor bits. Enjoyed the ride and a deserved plus for the picture of Trent!
I don't know where I got the spoon. I thought I was stuck there for a while until I saw my inventory. Got stuck at the flying face before giving up.
If horror was the intent, it worked on me. 😱
spoon was in the drawer
the "flying face" is technically the end. I think the text then reads "and now I am god" or something. I forgot to put "hit ESC to quit", but that is the end of the game. Was working on it til the last minute so definitely missed a few things. But yes - horro was the intent, so I'm glad to hear it worked on you!
Oh hey, before I partnered up I was thinking of making a game a lot like this one for this song! A point and click horror game set in a dingy basement room, and was kicking around ideas about self-mutilation. Was even gonna have a hydroponic with some dying plants in it. Didn't really know where I was going with it and scrapped it, so I'm really glad to see someone finished a similar idea. I really like where you took it!
I like how you used the face as the player character, a little silly in a good way. Loved all the tongue-in-cheek humor in the flavor text, and how it hinted a little at the puzzle solutions. Vibes were perfect and the aesthetic was on point. Well made!
yeah, the song definitely needed a horror-themed game attached to it. Funny how close our ideas were, though!
tongue-in-cheek humor is key in a lot of point-and-click games I've played, so I knew it needed to make an appearance in this one. And it was my intention for them to be hints at how to progress.
thanks for the kind words!
