That was pretty good! Very unique mechanics. I do like that the story is pretty abstract and open to interpretation. Escaping the well felt satisfying.
The climbing controls took a bit of getting used to, and I think I would've preferred if each climbing "stride" had a bit more distance. The way it is kinda gives the feeling our character's hands are inching bit by bit, instead of climbing to the next bar.
But yeah, good work!
oh man this was awesome, it might be my favorite game so far. its such a simple concept buts its really unique, i would love to see more stuff like this. at first, i wanted to complain that the controls were kinda janky, but i think it actually added to the unease and discomfort because its easy to accidentally go the wrong direction. im not sure if you did that intentionally, but if you did, good job!
the graphics and sound design are amazing as well, this honestly feels really polished for only 5 days. you should be super proud!
Thank you! That jank was intentional, and I'm glad you felt it added to the tension! The feedback i have gotten the most is that the controls are janky, so i might need to take away that extra tension for ease of gameplay. Thank you so much for playing!
Really great visuals and atmosphere, I think having more than one threat to manage in the brønn could be a really cool way to expand on the game, if that's something you are planning. Overall though the game was really cool and just the right amount of cryptic and weird. really enjoyed it.
That is a pretty good idea. Had fun making it during the jam so i might continue expanding it. Thanks for playing!
Norman is hiding on my ceiling fan (admittedly not very well). That means you did a good job!! Love the really spooky wooly games. (Normans a big baby, don't mind him)
Noo! I'm sorry Norman! Thanks for playing!
Nice jumpscare aha and cool art!
Thanks!
Really enjoyed this! Man it kept me creeped out the whole time by making me so uneasy. I liked how in order to progress your pov is fixed on the ladder so you don't know what you're climbing into and what's happening around you. It made me feel like I had to keep looking over my shoulder. Great job!
Thanks!
I loved the atmosphere of this one
Thanks for playing!
Of course
What a fun horror game! I really liked the mechanics; the rhythm of climbing the ladder, hiding, and moving around kind of reminds me of FNAF in a way, where once you get into the rhythm, it gets super intense! The story was great, the visuals were fantastic, and I loved the monster’s design; not the scariest to me personally, but super creative and fun. I genuinely love this silly creature.
The only thing I wasn’t the biggest fan of was the climbing controls. The left/right clicking worked fine, but switching sides could be a bit frustrating , it got me killed a few times when it wouldn’t switch properly. Having a separate button or even a middle mouse click for that would help a lot.
Overall though, this was amazing! Easily one of the first jam games I’d give a full 5/5 for visuals. The art style, story, and atmosphere all slap. With a few tweaks to the climbing, I’d absolutely pay a few bucks if this ever became a full Steam release. Such a fun and creative horror game! <3
Thanks for playing! Really appreciate the feedback.
Omg I got jump scared so bad XD I love the game, you did really well with creating the horror atmosphere!
Thank you! :D
Great game with an atmosphere that kept me nervous throughout. The sound design and visuals worked perfectly to build the tension. I loved it.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
I'm a sucker for retro shaders and horror! Loved this! ♥
Glad you liked it!
almost lost it when i saw the creature for the first time, i had to pause for 2 mins to get it together, and i was too stubborn to stop. AMAZING game with great visuals, i really liked how interactive the sounds to the movements, got me feeling spooky. i love it :DD
Thank you!
The game was too beefy for my laptop to take so i made my friend play it in a private stream, and we loved it!! She was very immersed. The game design was incredible, very tense concept, and we loooved the sound design. The only suggestion would be to look if theres a bug on the text boxes as she couldnt skip it at times. Great job! Wish we could pet the puppy.
Thank you so much! Really happy you guys loved it. I will look into the bug in the text boxes, appreciate the feedback!
Nice one, very freaky when you midclick and look down an there are three of those things just staring you down!
Nice length as well for what it is!
Thanks for playing!
I love the way the cursor is in the shape of a hand! The entire game reminds me a bit of the White Knuckle concept -- which is not a bad thing at all! As others said, this is such an atmospheric game that I see the potential for actually winning at least one of the categories. ♥
The game's sound however seems a bit quiet so I don´t think you can avoid the enemy much. I think I just have to get good, but as of now I always die to the monster right after talking to the dog a second time. Is there a definite indicator as to when the enemy creeps up to you?
Thank you so much for trying my game!
There should be a sound indicator for when the enemy is close, but as you said it might be a little low volume. You are not the only one who has gotten a little stuck after talking to the dog a second time, so not as much a you problem. I should probably adjust that part a little so it is easier to get away. (A little hint for getting past it though: don't climb down)
Thank you for the feedback!
Damn that was creepy, well done! consider me unsettled.
Thank you!
This is a neat game and I really like it! It has nice ambience, easy controls and a fun hook! I really enjoyed this game and love the execution. Great job!

Thank you for playing and recording it. Got some notes on how to improve by watching you play :D
It's a claustrophobic and exciting game, an unusual style of horror. I really loved the climbing mechanic, but there could have been more rooms to hide from the enemy. I got stuck at a certain point in the game. Thanks for your efforts!
Thanks for playing!
Very cool game! The graphics/pointer reminds me a lot of old spooky point and click games like the 7th Guest. That sneaky wall monster scared me more than I am willing to admit! Definitely got me one time with him hiding in the safety hole lol.
Also I really enjoyed that the controls were simple yet easy to mess up if you freak out. Nice touch
Very fun for me that you got a little scared. Thank you for playing!
I liked this a lot. Very short and to the point but still enough to watch out for to keep you on edge. I do wish that there was more of a tie in to the theme, like maybe more of a story with an intro or something, but really nice overall. Great job!
Thank you for playing, appreciate the feedback!
