Hey Neils4, cool game! The sounds are well designed, but it could've benefitted from something to fill the silence, like possibly music. However, I understand the restraints of this being a gamejam, so I've given you a 4 for sound. The gameplay is pretty intuitive in some places, but I couldn't figure out how to win, and the game overs that I couldn't do much about were a bit annoying. It would be nice to have some way to back out of the item selection screen because one time I was checking if I had any items of use, and the only item there was the mouthwash, so I could do nothing but drink it and die. I do like the random creature encounters though. There was a bug where, after the initial dialogue, I was unable to use the numpad 0 to select, and had to use the number row 0. The pixel art looked great most of the time, but the words were a little hard to read sometimes. I really like the ghost thiny's design! As for theme, all I saw was the writing at the top of the stairs, but I may not have gotten through the whole game. Thanks for making this!

Hi, CrimsonChallenger! Thank you very much for playing my game. Make sure you have the Num Lock key on your keypad set to on so you can use the 0 key. I would recommend investigating the house a bit more. I don’t want to give too many hints because voting for the jam is not over yet but here’s one: You can use the Investigate option multiple times for different messages. I actually used silence as a fear factor so that’s why there is no music in the game. I will play your game, DisInterest later in the day when I get home.
