(sorry for my english)

I really liked this game! I like this old movie atmosphere. The choice of graphics. The music with this main theme and its bass line which reminds me a lot of John Carpenter's The Thing.

I enjoyed following this story.

Evidence 19/20. I intend to get all the evidence.

Thank you very much for this game. BRAVO !

Ohh, I like the John Carpenter comparison...very happy with that.

Glad you enjoyed the game, good luck with that last bit of evidence (got a suspicion which one it is, there is a tricky one in there).

Thankyou.

...oh, and your English is great.

I managed to finish the game. 20/20. Congratulations again for this work.

I had fun observing some details. The VHS in the drawers, the books, the choice to mix Nosferatu with the theme of Coppola's Dracula, etc..

Really cool. I even wonder if there is no easter egg with the musical notes of the menu lol

ProfessorStitch2 years ago

Good eye. Acctualy there is a history to the musical notes in the menu...I could spoil it, or let you figure it out for yourself. Your choice.

I want to try to find out for myself. I come back here to tell you if I succeeded... or not ^^

ProfessorStitch2 years ago

Oh, and I'm curious. Which piece of evidence were you missing?

Julien Bartholini2 years ago

The syringe and the bottle of tranquilizer for... animals ;-)

ProfessorStitch2 years ago

Exactly what I thought, everyone misses that one.

Nice work!

Thanks :-D

I may have a theory for the menu notes. But maybe I'm imagining things. The game takes place during the Christmas period and it is this detail that makes me say that my theory could make sense.

I think the notes made by the 4 menu buttons (from top to bottom) correspond to the first 4 notes of "Carol Of The Bells".

ProfessorStitch2 years ago

You're close.

It's not a Christmas themed tune, but it is horror related...and a lot, lot older.

ProfessorStitch2 years ago

Funnily enough, they do both start on the exact same 4 notes...so you are sort of right.

Julien Bartholini2 years ago

Too bad I was almost there ^^. At least I would have tried.

ProfessorStitch2 years ago

Extremely close.

If I'm honest, I probably went a bit over the top with how specific this reference is. I strongly suspect that Carol Of The Bells was based on the same thing, as was the title music of The Shinning.
