Cool game, great art and music. The mirrors to Greek mythology are very interesting. Was a little difficult to find some of the sticky notes, but easier once I knew what to look for.
thank you so much for playing!!!!
Nice little game, the art, post-it notes and colors are so great !
thank you so much!!!
Very good game, great visual style. You nailed the atmosphere. You could definitely take what you have here and make a really good horror game
we hope to do that!!!! we had jumpscares planned but we ran out of timeee
Always love a good thriller!!! Rlly hope you keep working on this after the jam!! It's got so much potential!
THANK YOU!!! we plan on it!!!! it'll be uploaded here when its done!!
Omega F in chat for the github incident, me and the CEO man have started using a private git server for everything lately and it's been pretty nice. I'm usually not crazy about this gameplay format but the art and atmosphere is pretty amazing on this one.
private git server sounds DELIGHTFUL! thank you for trying this game out despite not being crazy about the format!!!! im so happy you've enjoyed the art and atmosphere!
Sorry to hear about that github incident, that's really scary.
Love the atmosphere, the music and the art. It's all fantastic!
Side note : I think the sticky notes should be more visible to the player :p
it was SO scary! but luckily we got it sorted. im so glad you enjoyed! we definitely want to upsize the stuckynotes and brighten them to catch the players eye more, that is on our list of to-do's!
This was so spooky! I'm terrible with horror games so I had to stop a couple times, but I made it to the ending and the atmosphere on this game was so well done! The music was super unnerving, and the art is wonderful, plus I love Greek mythology. The fact that half the time I felt like I was just wandering aimlessly made it even more off-putting, but I think that was the point. Side note, I really wanted to pet the dog. Anyways, great work!!
thank you so much for seeing it all the way through despite you having trouble with horror games, that means the world to us!!! wandering aimlessly was intentional, and im so glad it tied in well with everything else!! cerberus has been a fan favourite it seems, we'll have to do more with him :3
It was worth it!! And please do if y'all come back to this, I love him dearly
A nice little proof of concept. I definitely am curious where it's a going.
thank you so much!!
Man, that ending's got me hooked! I liked the visuals and music! It's unfortunate that GitHub deleted all your work, but I hope you get to flesh out the game more after the jam!
github TOTALLY kicked our butt, but im glad we were allowed to fix the big bugs in our earlier build we submitted to get to this! im so happy to know the ending had you hooked! we definitely want to expand it more, persephone has to save hades afterall :3
Very cute and unnerving, music and art set the tone really well. Art style is super unique and fitting as well, and the Greek mythology themeing blends in nicely. Really enjoyed this :)
thank you so much for playing!!! it makes me so happy that you enjoyed it!
Ok I live the fact this game give me early 2010's vibe. It honestly feels like those old rpg maker horror games. Im not sure if this is a bug, but i like it anyways, I noticed there was some notes in certain areas I already visited, and it made me feel like "did i miss this before?" Which is great, because changing environments you've been to before do well with making horror games, because the player thinks they're going crazy.
Also not much i could say other than there definitely is some bugs that have affected me when trying to find notes. Had to restart the game a lot. 3:
Overall, this is a fine game :3
thank you for giving this game a shot!! im so glad you liked the placement of the sticky notes, that makes me so happy to hear because i agonized over those for a while!!
if you remember any of the bugs, please let me know!! i'd love to get those fixed as soon as possible to prevent them from happening again. im sorry you had to restart it a lot :(
umm if im correct some sticky notes wouldnt even appear. I could still interact with them, but they were totally transparent so I couldn't see them. I might be wrong, but that's what I remember. Oh and everyone already talked about the flashlight issue :P
Awesome gamee, loved the drawings, and the eerie atmosphere and not knowing what comes next. I loved the paralel at the end with the Underworld. Great job!
thank you so much!! im so glad you enjoyed it, especially the end!! that makes me so happy to hear :3
Very creepy, good job incorporating Greek mythology!
thank you so much!!!!
Very cool game, I'm really bad with horror so this had me on edge lol. Very cool way of telling the story while getting more and more unnerving. The character art is really good, such a nice art style! The ending was cool too, awesome story wise and the art was very detailed too! My only real complaint is the different pixel art sizes, but still, it's a very good game with a great atmosphere. Awesome work!
thank you so much for playing, especially since you're bad with horror!! im so happy you caught onto it getting more and more unnerving. i tried out a new style for this, im so glad its been so well recieved!! the pixel art sizes being different was something we couldnt fix last minute, we totally understand!! we plan on changing them to match persephone asap!!
This got me so intrigued!! I was always looking forward to the next sticky note, as they kept getting more creepy :') I wish it had an ending, because it keept me wanting more. Good job!!
Note: I think I encountered a bug where the flashlight would always aim up! so it was a bit hard to find the notes!
there is an 'ending' sequence if you collect all 13!!! and thank you for the bug report, that's interesting! it should move in whatever direction the sprite is pointing in, so thank you for letting us know!!
Turned into a vacuum cleaner to find all of the notes. Also i adore the art (both pixel and the drawn one (i don't know how to say "non pixel", sorry)) Persephone is a cutie. One minor notice - the Persephone's sprite and the objects sprites got a different resolution, so it seems a bit off, but nothing serious. Great game
HAHA IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT YOU WENT BACK TO FIND THEM ALL!!!!! yeaaah we know about the resolution difference :( we plan on resolving that when we go in for hardcore polish and to expand it!! thank you for playing!!
Super fun! I like the pixel art, and it's a really interesting way to present a story too. I'm not sure if I found all the sticky notes since I wasn't keeping track, haha. I feel like I searched every inch of the house though.
im glad you liked it!!! if you made it to the end scene, you found them all!! there's 13 notes total that come in waves of: 5, 5, and 3!
Cleaver use of the theme. Neat little game overall.
Thank you! There was more that would have tied in the theme a bit more, but we ran out of time
thank you for playing our game!!
Super cool! I was super scared going through the dark apartment but it was really immersive. I like how the story opens up through the notes. The ending was also great. Wishing you guys luck for the making of the full game. Amazing job!!
THANK YOUUU. im glad it was immersive, that's what we were hoping for!! it makes me so happy to hear the notes were well recieved!
The music is very well chosen! It really creates a sense of suspense and the feeling that something is definitely about to happen.
I really liked the storytelling choise and overall atmosphere ~
this is SUCH a compliment from you, i think im fangirling omg. your game, by far, has been my favourite and i am gushing about it to EVERYONE so it means so much that you enjoyed it!!
qwq aww this is so sweet, at this point we can be a dev friends!(if u wanna)
Also thank you very much, i really appreciate such a warm reaction to our game 🖤 (also sorry if I'm writing weird, get ill immediately after jem heh)
