This was a really unique and fun idea for the theme! Loved the artwork :D Also loved the weeping angels omg, those terrified me when I was younger so seeing them in your game was pretty spooky / cool !

Submitted

Love the aesthetic the game brings, but it's really hard and I couldn't find a single cat while playing probably because I suck at games lol. But still, great job.

Submitted

This is a great game, but very hard. Is it intentional that you can bump into shadows when you haven't seen them? The thing is: you have to see them, to know where to avoid. But seeing them means stress and them following you, and not seeing them means bumping into them and stress also. So it seems to me, that you only can loose, because with every strategy you are doomed to be stressed.

Still, i love the concept and the art and i LOVE the weeping angels! :D

Cool game! Good take on the theme, was very interesting. The music fit quite well and the art was really well done!

I rated your game, it would make me super happy if you rated mine :)

Submitted

Great experience, very similar vibes to the game I made this Jam. I loved the use of the FOV.

Submitted

So scary! This was really cool.

Submitted

Really cool concept.
The art also fits the concept very well as well.

I had problems figuring out where to go and the camera unfortunately gave me often a hard time.

Submitted

I really like the light effect. Moving the camera with it made the game harder since as you walked your look direction would change. I found the second and third levels to be too hard.

Submitted

I like the audio as it fits the games theme very well. It isn't really clear for me where to move to though. Also I don't think that the camera should follow the mouse cursor. Just following the character would have been enough imo.

Great entry for the game jam though!

Super Fun

Submitted

I love the field of view effect you've created. Nice game. Great job.

Submitted

Nice concept. Loved the dr who ref with the angels :)

The camera movement felt really weird and uneasy though. Also felt that the ennemies where very fast & hard to avoid & maybe too many of them ? (in scary setups less is often better to build up tension ;) )

Appart from that, realy neat game. good work :)

Submitted

A really interesting concept! At times it was even scary to play :D My only feedback would be that the camera movement felt a bit uneasy at times, and it would have been really good to see that tension be built up more over the course of playing. The audio felt a bit out of place, but other than that it was genuinely fun to learn how the game works and explore the world you've created! With more polish this could become a truly frightening horror game.

Submitted

This concept is super unique and cool! (and sometimes relatable) This was a cool way to use the theme! Good work!

Submitted

Really nice art. It will be awesome to be a little more polished but you did a really great job.

I would love to have you playing mine too, if you don't mind of course! ^_^

Submitted

Nice game rated it, pls check out my game also if you don't mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152

Submitted

cool concept, dont think ive ever came across this idea before!

Submitted

The camera movement is a little jarring. Interesting idea though

Submitted

The screen moving the flashlight made some of the levels a little more difficult than if the camera stayed centered on the screen, but all in all was a fun game and a good challenge!
