It’s important to note that I’m not usually a fan of point-and-click games. That said, I got caught up in the atmosphere and design (and I was interested in the game’s message), and I found myself drawn in, caught up in the tension that builds… and I had a great time!
I just had a little trouble with the maps at first.
So I think it’s a success, well done!
Yep, yep, yep, the game is really cool.
The tension builds in a predictable yet sooo effective way, the events work well, and the sound design is spot on.
I struggled a bit with the cards at first, finding it difficult to move them when I wanted to read them and vice versa, but you get used to it quickly.
I'll be there for the more complete version, it was a fascinating experience.
I made a video of your game. It's at the start of this video.
Apologies if you are annoyed by me shaking the mouse at certain parts of the video. That was me going "WTF was that?!" at certain parts of the game.
Omg thank you for making a video about it!
That was super terrifying. perfect but terrifying. visuals were amazing, the pacing was great. damn the horror build up with minimal sound and insanely creep cards.
not over the ending in the slightest!
this was a fun one! i liked how the backgrounds were detailed & stylized & the overall vibes. the first person pov was suspensful but still let the player play at their own pace, great job on the execution. the 'quiz cards' were a little bit difficult to manage with everything being on click or click-hold-drag but once i got used to it it wasn't as much of a problem.
looking forward to what it'd look like beyond jam constraints!
The part where the man stared at me through a window scared me. I thought the man was just a hallucination...until I played the final night.
Excellent jam submission!
Great Game And With Lots Of Good Spooks. I Think Some Sharp Audio Hits Or Some More Tension In The Music Could Have Made The Scary Parts Hit Harder, But In General The Game Executed The "Creepy Quiz" Type Horror Game Very Well With An Interesting Twist By Adding A Point And Click Adventure / Escape Room Element To It. I Also Really Liked The Art Here, Everything Looked Really Good And 3D And It Fit Super Well With The Story That Was Being Told.
I'd love to see a bit more variation with the tasks, but for such a short Jam, this is a work of Art and a masterclass in suspense and sound design.

I liked this game. It has a great balance of horror and repeatability. The visual style and sounds create a sense of comfort and security at first, and then you're suddenly scared. I really like this concept.
Great art and sound design. I like the slow pacing. Also, the man in the window got me good. My only issue was that dragging cards vs viewing cards was confusing for a minute. Other than that, awesome entry. A small thought: You might want to randomize or shift the position of where the next card will spawn on the table.
Another good one! The suspension is killing me, luckily, there's not too many jump scare. Great atmosphere, art, sound design. Love how the absent of music and weird stuff going on in the room added to the suspension.
This was a banger! The art, sound, game design... everything was just *chefs kiss.* The only feedback I have is that the mouse cursor felt a little laggy/unresponsive on my system (I played the downloaded version) which led to some extra clicking. 5/5 across the board. Thanks for making and sharing your game!
I loved this! It's very immersive and the sound design and pacing are spot on. I might actually not be able to sleep after playing this haha.
Really enjoyed! My father recently had to take a cognition test for dementia, testing spatial recognition, etc, so this hit hard :).The hand drawn art is incredible and the sound design really set the mood. Honestly, I think the experience would have been more tense without the jump scare. It's one of those games that does great just by building tension and -not- seeing the spooks!
Great work!
The scariest game I have played in the jam yet. Holy. Shit. the hairs on my entire body were standing on edge the entire time. GOD. I wish it was longer!
POst QA
Good work for your first released game, simple and sleek, not much problem, nice amp, nice scares, and nice anticipation. Good work on the pacing and it did properly unnerve one very well
Really proud :D! Good job team!~
This was quite the slow burner and felt like those uncanny phycological tests! Great job! For what it is, it did manage to give the creeps like a good ol flash horror game from the days.
The face at the window got me. Full 5 stars all round, this was the spookiest game of the jam for me.
This is definitely one of the most immersive and scary jam games I've played yet. The story hook is simple but it instantly got me, and I loved the buildup of tension. The ending climax worked perfectly too. If I had to nitpick, it might have been interesting to include some more creepy elements tied to the answers the player gives at the start, like the birthday, mother name etc...
Really good job, keep making games!
