Cute noir style and fully voiced! Impressive for such a short time
Thank you so much! We defiantly put a lot of sleepless nights into this.
Cool! Fun visuals, all dialogs voiced over, little details like rats with cheese. I wasn't able to ghostify after the first time, and didn't notice any new clues (I already seen the book, the pamflet and cigarettes), so the only choice I had was to blame Evelyn and that concluded the game.
This for giving our game a shot!
Really enjoyed your game! amazing visuals, great voice acting, and the detective/noir vibe works perfectly! I got completely pulled into it.
If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun

Thank you! Sadly the submissions were over when I woke up but I doubt you need our rating your game did really well!
Looove the character design and overall vibe, love the voice acting. My laptop could only handle it for a little bit but really really solid submission!
Thank you and yea sorry about that we’ll try to see if we lower the resolution when the game jam is done so laptops can play without issue.
Very cool premise. Im really loving the art and music, not to mention the voice acting is on point 👌! I had a good time following along with the story after my first attempt ended in getting jump scared by a certain noise when you run out of time AHAHAHAH.
Amazing work guys!
Also love the little rats everywhere
not to mention the big oneYou found our king! Thank you for playing our game!
I liked the character designs and the voice acting in the game :D I would find a way to toggle sensitivity and optimize the zoom when you angle the camera in certain ways XD The other talking point I had while you came to stream was the same thing you're aware of, the spirit meter needs a liiiil' tweakin '
That being said congrats on your game guys <3 it was so much fun playing and an absolute pleasure to have met some of yall :)
We actually have an option for mouse sensitivity press in game Esc -> options -> mouse sensitivity. Thank you for playing our game!
o.o you know what, now that you mention it I remember having found that at the very end XD my bad ! but overall it was still really fun!
Cool art style and really nice music too!
I'm glad you enjoyed the music! Definitely my favorite songs that I've made in a while. The art team will be happy to hear your praise as well :D
Unfortunately my laptop couldn't handle running this for long 😭 But I loved the premise, voice acting, art style and music! 💙
Yea, our bad making stuff in unreal asks a lot more most computers we should have made a lower resolution size and maybe taken out motion blur so more computers and laptops can play it. Thank you for all complements!
Im glad you enjoyed the music!! Sorry your laptop couldnt run it well, Unreal 5 requires NASA level specs to run properly from what we've seen LOLL
Great detective game, the theme is unique and fits this jam very well, and the voice acting is really cool.
Thank you! The theme was tough to nail down and hearing this helps us know we made the right choice. Thank you for playing our game!
Very cool game idea well realised. It would be nicer if you could go ghost form whenever you choose as it would feel less linear. Also the camera motion was not sitting well with me but I think that was just a me thing. You nailed the noir vibes and the models, music and voiceacting were all great!
Your not the only one though we do have something that might help the camera motion in the settings you can lower down the mouse sensitivity. And Thank you we tried really hard trying to nail down those detective noir vibes!
This game had it all! Great art, story, voice acting! only issue that has already been brought up is the time limit as a ghost but I can deal with that. you guys did great!
Yea, it feels like agony not being able to fix it until the game jam is over, but thank you for saying all that sweet stuff about our game.
Great concept, awesome art style, and pretty darn good voice acting, well done👏
Thank you are art and voice acting team will be pleased to hear this!
Really like the concept, and the art style is super cute. That ghost run is adorable!
Thank you and yea are Animator killed it with that cute ghost run!
Played the game!
One of the few games in this jam that I think followed the theme well! also LOVE the cover and the little wisps!
Thank you so much for recognizing the theme adaptation! And as the one who illustrated the cover and whisp faces, I’m honored! Our vfx artist did a great job implementing them in the game:D
Cute game! The premise is really cool and the 3D art looks great. I will say it kinda chugged on my computer, so maybe list recommended specs? Here's what I'm running:
Intel i3 12th generation 1.2 Ghz processor, Intel UHD graphics, 32 GB RAM
Our bad the computers we were using for testing had a 4080RTX, and a 4090RTX in them not sure what the recommend computer would be. Well just to make options to lower the resolution and motion blur to make our game more accessible to more computers. Thank you for the praise and playing our game!
A game with a unique personality. Reminds me of GhostTrick!
What a huge compliment!! Thank you!
Nice little detective game, and the voice acting was cool.
Thank you for the kind words and for playing our game!
The character models and art in general are lovely! I found the story compelling and I was pretty curious to find out more. The voice acting was nice too! That being said, I wish the mechanics to piece the story together were a little more in-depth and felt less tedious (maybe a sprint ability would help?). It would also be nice to have some sort of indication of when you're spending too much time in ghost-form. The ending felt abrupt when Bevy said she cracked the case; I just thought to myself, "I did???" since I didn't really know what the clues that I found meant. The camera movements and flickering lights were also very jarring and hard to look at at times. I think with more time to expand the mechanics and polish the game, it has potential! Overall I enjoyed playing, there are just some small issues that could be fixed.
A sprint button would be useful, and we are getting rid of the ghost timer so people can stay in ghost mode and not have to worry that'll have to be done when the Game Jam is over. Our art, sound, and writing team will be so happy to hear that. Thank you for playing and reviewing our game!
Great game, you did a good job on the models, I especially liked the one for Bevy's ghost. The art for the main menu was also really cool, and the voice acting was really well done. Great music too, it really set the detective vibe. I also like the concept and how you used the theme of the game jam. The jacksepticye references were also fun. The mystery was intriguing, although a bit tedious with the interactions, it took a bit sometimes to manage to pick up an item. I also feel like some sort of timer would possibly also have been nice to have - if I understood correctly there was the exclamation to help warn you, though sometimes it seemed to happen a second before I died, and other times it gave me a lot of time. Maybe some sort of "skip ahead" option as well so I don't have to repeat so much stuff to return to where I was. Overall though I liked the game, well done!
Yea, after the game jam is over we have a lot to polishing up to do, and our art will be so thrilled to hear that. Thank you for for playing our game!
Cool game! Good job with this one! :)
Thanks for the praise and thank you for playing our game!
