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.
