Pros and cons are down below) Check my vid here (likes and subs are highly appreciated)) thanks :3

Advantages:

1. I think that the game was spooky. It freaked me out the first time I saw the demon and I got very spooked when I saw the demon squatting in front of the mausoleum or whatever these little buildings are called (not-native, sorryyyyyyy). 

2. Ghost hunting equipment is cool! I think it's a very cool concept and I see people comparing this game to Phasmophobia in the comments. I guess there can't be too many ghost hunting games) For some reason, it feels super cool to become a ghost hunter for a short gaming session ahah

3. I love the main character. I think it's cool that you gave them a bit more depth revealing their skepticism and disbelief. Also, voice acting helps a lot with the immersion. 

Disadvantages:

1. Well, I think there could be done a lot more to spook the players. For examples if creepy whispers could be sometimes heard from all around or branches cracking as if somebody staps on them. Or even if the main character would sometimes say creepy stuff "It feels like I'm being watched". Or it would be awesome to sometimes see stuff in the corner of the eyes (for a split second see a shadow upon turning or something like that). These details would definitely raise the creepy factor of the game!

2. I didn't like that there the player could see their shadow. I mean, shadow is nice but NOT when you are playing as a flying hand with equipment. Makes you wondering - maybe you are the ghost yourself? (Btw I just got an amazing idea that I'm giving you out for free ahah: what if the main character would actually be the ghost this whole time and at the end they couldn't escape (because they are a ghost stuck in the graveyard) so they would start wondering what's happening and then they would see their dead body. It would turn out that they were investigating the graveyard and killed by a demon few days earlieer). Or something like that. Would be awesome!

3. The ending is bland. I mean, come on. You hear demons intimidating you, collect ghost pee and take photos of weird entities. I guess the main character would know that the ghosts are real. Why going in so far into the graveyard. And why is it so easy to escape? Kinda disappointing. I wish there would be more to the game. Feel free to get some inspiration from the idea above, if you want to)
I think a good example of an indie horror ghost-hunting hame with an interesting plot would be Paranormal Entities (https://al-heck.itch.io/paranormal-entities). Maybe this game could inspire you as well!

Overall:

I rate the game 4/5 as there is lots of room for improvement. It was cool and I enjoyed playing the game a lot but it was  still a bit predicatble story-wise. Some unexpected twist would make this game instantly a lot better!

Hope my feedback was useful!


*btw I also played your other game a while ago (New Resident) and I want to say that your games have improved a lot! Can't wait to see more!

Thank you for the in-depth feedback! Really helps us out. I agree that raising the stakes throughout the game would make it much scarier and perhaps a more immersive experience, but unfortunately our time constraints limited us (as is often the case). Appreciate you following our games!
