Love the look and aesthetic of this! I would have preferred it a bit brighter or the flashlight itself to be brighter :) The witch was a great touch; she was spooky and she trapped me haha there was a brief moment we were looking at each other and I wasn't sure if she'd attack or what she'd do. Great job!

Thank you so much! We've redone the lighting and are just waiting to push the update when the rating is over :)

1st Update dropping right when the voting is finished.

Why is the text so weird :(

The first time the witch ran by me made me jump lmao. Love the aesthetic! Maybe a bit too dark, had trouble orienting myself at times, but otherwise great job!

Developer

Thanks you for the feedback. We're glad you liked it. We noticed the game being a bit too dark as well, we will add some ambient lighting in the future :)

Pretty good game, very similar vibes to a night in the dark. Very creepy vibes and the flashlight turning off almost made me have to quit the game because I am spooked very easily and I need to go to bed lol. But when the witch started laughing it really took me out of it just because it wasn't very scary and mostly just cartoonish. The actual witch model also isn't very scary, I feel like it's mostly because she's way more saturated and being green doesn't help. I  couldn't tell if there's a way to escape the witch or to end the game? Not sure if this was intentional but if it was it's great design that you encounter the witch late in the house and when you respawn she's much closer to you. Pretty solid game over all, great job! :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. You can finish the game by collecting time crystals spawned randomly on the map and putting them in the ticking clock. It's in the description on the game's itch page :) We will try to find some better sound effects for the witch. I've drawn all textures with a mouse and I'm not very good at it so that's why the witch looks like that, I'll make her less saturated.

This is such a pretty game and has a creepy vibe as your playing it, I was a little confused as to what was going on at the beginning or what my objective was but I loved the style and sound. Maybe in the menu you could possible add like controls or objective but it really is a beautiful game.  

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback and we're glad you enjoyed the game. We will surely add that to the menu.

I enjoyed this once I got my head around it. Love the post process pixel style. Very nice. Maybe not so dark, and some hiding spots. Nevertheless, enjoyable :)

Graphics are awesome! But I experienced a bug with the pathfinding too. Anyway, the idea and concept are interesting

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and art style. But I ran into a bug where the witch couldn't climb the first staircase and I was trapped upstairs. I also was not sure how to escape the witch once she saw me. Other than that, I think this project has a lot of potential!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback and the kind words. We will try to fix the pathfinding in the next update. You can escape the witch by running into a different room and hiding behind a corner, but be careful not to shine the flashlight at her, that will make her notice you :)
