This was really good.  I liked the art style and concept a lot.

Love the look of the game! Sadly, there are some bugs, but when it was working it was really fun. I really liked the button mechanic!

Submitted

I actually had a lot of fun once I got the hang of it. The typing mechanics are really creative really tense to execute, which I really liked!! Props for the art and animations too, the style pops a lot and is really charming both in-game and for the tutorials. Well done :)

I really wanted to like this one, but it's just a little too buggy for me to give it a proper shot, even on 2.0. I was having pretty much nonstop issues getting keys to register, game softlocking on lockpicks, and graves spawning outside the map. Would love to play a more polished build, I adore the aesthetic, and big props for going with a custom engine :)

yeaah, we're working on a final polished build! it was hard to predict some of the final issues when using a level generator (-_-;), I'm waiting til post jam for that update...

i loved the way it looks and the typing game was fun. unfortunately i'm bad at typing. and also i kept getting stuck lol. fantastic game tho, even if i had to restart after like 3 graves lol

Loved the art style, the mood reminds me a little of don't starve. Congrats!! It would mean a lot if you could rate my game too!

i really liked this once ig ot the hang of it! which was totally user error on my part for not understanding at first. i love the visuals of it and i love the setup. i like the typing game aspect of it, because those are always super fun to me. besides the bugs that need to be squashed which i KNOW yall already know about, this genuinely has the grounds to be a super fun and catchy game. especially if you add on more nights to rob graves!!!

The gameplay loop is so fun, and I absolutely LOVE the art style, I especially like how you went with a paper-like textures for the environment too, everything blends so cohesively together. ❤︎ I hope you guys keep working on this because it has so much potential!

this assaults my visual senses in a delightfully fun way!

would like to revisit if you keep working after the jam!

Really liked this game, it took me a while to figure out that the game is case-sensitive, so I thought I was stucked lol. But after that, I could play normally. The art is pretty, and this is an original engine? That's crazy! I liked the gameplay loop, visuals and sound. My only complain was a place in which I got stucked in the third day, I don't have a screenshot, but you placed a chest really close to a window, so I got stucked between the chest and the window, I had to press all the 4 directions like crazy to get out of there, so, try to not put chests and windows so close to each other.  Other than that, everything works fine, congrats for your game

I'm glad you enjoyed!! && I agree, the levels are randomly  generated each time, so some placement is a bit tricky.. it can def be fine tuned! hoping to push a big update post-jam polishing this up a lot more!

The visuals are really nice and feels pretty polished for the amount of time, great job!!

Thank you for being patient! you start the game by opening the gate and robbing the graves. Once you're done, you approach the car and use the keyboard left and right arrow key (this shifts between the yes and no option indicated by the tiny arrow between them) and you click enter to confirm your choice. We will work on making that more intuitive.

Very fun concept and love the art!  All the writing and character design gives lots of character, makes the world/lore feel in depth even though it's just a small glimpse into it all!  Great job everyone!

I love the writing and the art style, very fun and expressive! I like the mechanic of typing out commands to pick locks and dig graves, unfortunately it did crash quite a few times but after getting through those its a solid game!

Developer
