This was pretty great, loved the jumpscare lol, it literraly made me jump, very very fun game, only problem is that walking without jumping is kinda hard, otherwise it is a pretty amazing game for such a short period of time!,we would love if you could rate our game too :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much i'm glad you like it, I'm looking to fixing the mechanics and collisions after the jam. ^-^

Submitted

Do you think you can produce a web browser version of the game? I can't download large files at the moment D:

Developer

I'll add one in  some minutes  but due to it's graphics there could be some lag.

Submitted (1 edit)

Ahh ok i'll be aware of that thanks!

Developer

It's there, enjoy the game UwU

Submitted

Hmm, I don't know if its me, but I don't see a web browser version of the game D:

Developer

Yeah sorry I had some problems with the index.html but now it's functional, I know it's just a little time left but I hope ou can rate it :)

Submitted

Great spooky atmosphere! You could add some walking sounds and limit how long you can run to make it even better :D With a story this could be a nice haloween game.

Developer

Nice ideas, I'll make those changes after tha jam is over thank you very much uwu

Yeah thank you very much I was actually working on the instructions when the Jam ended so I'll update the game once it's over :3

Submitted

Interesting style.
1) Never - ever - for no reason at all - name a folder "WINDOWS" when you place it for people to download.

2) The English language is a nice thing - Sure,  you can argue that it's not 100% incorrect to write breed for potions... https://wikidiff.com/brewed/breed

3) You get stuck every time you hit an object? sort of odd movement which most of the time causes you to get caught.

Thank you very much for the feedback, I'll change everything once the Jam is over, and also I'll research some more on the words I use XD

Yikes, why would you ever use wikidiff when there is factualist 😂 https://www.factualist.com/difference/breed-versus-brewed/

Really nice game! Amazing work on the level design and the general atmosphere (visuals and sounds). Quite tough though. Because of the small play area, the necromancer always gets you. But he got me scared few times! Once again, great work

Developer(+2)

Thank you very much I'm very pleased that you liked the game, in future Updates I may add some bigger maps, and some mechanics to fight the necromancer back.

Nice game with impressive 3D art!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I put a lot of effort making the level design and aesthetics as good as I can, I'm no artist so a lot of textures an meshes are from the Unity asset store but the level design, lightning and effects give them the best apealing.

Submitted

I'm really impressed by how you did all the visuals in such a short time. And the mechanics are not perfect but they work well, it's definitely not easy to do such a monster AI. The biggest problem I see is the collision which is very often blocking the player. I was able to workaround it by jumping a lot. :) Also sometimes the flowers are hard to click sometimes.
As for the gameplay, I wasn't really excited about it, it could use some redesign.

Developer

Thank you a lot I did my best for the game to look as better as I possibly can, almost every mesh and texture was from packages from the unity asset store, I just modified some materials and make the leve design as well as all the lighting and effects.

Submitted

How I die a lot is very confusing but it was fun looking around and blending everything. twice I got to mixing a potion with potion and it would not let me for some reason. I figured it out on my own and found the book so I wasn't confused there. Only real complaint I have was if I noticed the Necromancer(on a rare occasion) I tried doing the hop and peak strat. . . It got me killed xD

Submitted

By the way the hop and peak is when you are running away from something but wanna look back. You sprint forward as fast as you can and jump. While in the air you flick really fast to look behind but are still moving forward. In this case you always go where you look xD

Developer

I'm glad you like the game, it has a lot to work on but I liked how it turned out. In a further update after the jam ends I'll definitly adjust the camera movement so you can do as you said, it would be much better that way, I just didn't think about it.

Submitted

Didnt want to sleep tonight anyway, I spent a good 20 mins on this game but couldnt figure out the potions, it was however very well made and scary the audio and visuals were great. Thanks!

Developer

Thanks a lot, i'm glad you like it, I wanted to make some riddles for the potions so it's easier to find out the combination and give some potions effects, but I didn't had enough time 

Submitted

A little bit confusing at first. Game fits the theme well and the upcoming halloween season lol. Good job!

Developer

Thank you very much, that was my though, it's october and also my first jam so I wanted to try some new thing, believe it or not I'm not into horror games so this was in all aspects a great, new and surprising dev adventure XD

Submitted

Very spooky game, fits the theme well. Good job :3

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much, I also liked Glowflower a lot :3

Developer

I was working on a initial description but time went out, but for the records, you have to search for the magic flowers and pick them with right click, then you have to go to the alchemy station and read the recetary, it's not much descriptive but gives you the idea, mix flowers, then potions, and find the ectoplasm potion and take it to the stone's skull pedestal to win.

Also the bar tells the necromancer proximity but it's not that precise (on purpose) so you better take care and look around, and as you may now, never stop walking...


PD: Thanks for your feedback it's grat to know the flaws so I can fix them :3

Submitted

Im understand-bar on the top left - its detector necro, but how it worked I don't understand :D
Visual is pretty good, atmosphere disturbing (in the first time when necro is on I cry out :,D)

Good work!

Developer

Thanks, I actually made that the bar goes crazy to time to time so it's not that easy and make you to never stop, also added some Instructions and tips in the descriptions and in a post, so check it out agai if you've got the time :3

I also would like to add a ghostly scream after the jam ends when the necro finds you... to give it an extra scare XD

Submitted

Horror is always a choice, liked the atmosphere, but I was not entirely sure what I was supposed to do. What the bar on the top left did. I think I explored the whole map. I also didn't understand how and when the necromancer shows up. Nice job anyway I liked it, it stands out!

Developer(+1)

Don't forget to give the game another try, I add some insstructions on the description and also added a post with some tips, I may also update the game after the Jam ended, it will help a lot if you give me more feedbak with a little more intro into what you have to do.
