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! 

Developer

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!

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!

Developer

Thanks!

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

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.

Developer

Thank you so much! Really happy you guys loved it. I will look into the bug in the text boxes, appreciate the feedback!
