Nice story and atmosphere! There's something about the lighting that does not convince me. While playing I was like "huh, this is a kind of darkness that isn't scary". I'm not sure what it is unfortunately. Also, that mirror is sooo weird! It looks like a portal to another dimension that sucks you in. The characters not having a collider felt wrong, especially the crawling ones. The narrator was really good tho, nice job!

haha good point! Ya this was the first time we learnt lighting so it's not a perfect art for us as of now! But we will get better! 

Mirror was a happy creepy surprise, we were just going for a normal mirror vibe! 


Thanks for the kind and constructive feedback!

I really like the idea of the mirror as you come down the hall but it did throw me off a bit when I got too close. I also really enjoyed when the heads were tracking your location.

Glad you enjoyed it!

haha ya, we're glad you recognized that that was a mirror, many saw it more as a haunted painting initially lol! Thanks for trying it out!!

A short horror experience with a few nifty details, like the family staring, the sound effects and the mirror. Made you feel on edge, like someone would pop up at you any moment. The looping story was also a nice touch.

Developer

Hey! I enjoyed playing this game; good atmosphere and decent amount of scares.

Couple of feedback:

  1. The camera's near plane could be smaller. It was visually annoying when I was too close to objects.
  2. The door that brings the player to the small corridor should be tagged locked or un-interactable if the player has yet to complete the current set piece to avoid confusion.
  3. The lighting kept changing depending on the player's distance to the light source which was visually annoying.
  4. Maybe some subtitles could help as I could not make out certain words at the end.

Thanks for the feedback and really appreciate the tips.
