It was an interesting interpretation of the themes and genres. I quite enjoyed the audio, although I felt that there was room for improvement on the story elements in an RPG game like this. Overall, I think it's a good game considering the time limitations.

Theme interpretation
We built a game that is a hybrid of the survival horror and RPG genres. The game also deals with themes of feeling split, a hybrid of two identities (a past life and a new one).

Nice horror atmosphere and visual too, i liked the portrait graphics :) gj
Very cool graphics, Audio has interesting ideas but not all of them properly implemented. Great game though!

All feedback possible is really appreciated
Very cool game. I am obsessed with the audio it was perfect! Also liked the creepy pencil portraits and how you learned more about the backstory as it went on.
I've seen a handful of entires that mash up the "survival horror" genre with other genres, but this is the first one that felt like it actually made that idea work. The tension that comes from scarcity of items, and managing when and how to use them, was palpable for me. Altogether a strong concept executed well. Congrats!
I really like the atmosphere of this game ! The fights were a bit repetitive though, but the final shotgun shot is so satisfying (plus when the game went back to color, it was so cool).
That subversion of expectations at the start with the girl shoving shard of glass in to the neck of the innocent dude is gold :-D
Wow great game! The background, environment and icon graphics are freaking amazing! Looks like you ran out of time with the portrait graphics. haha.
The music is very spooky, I love the music.
I liked some of the writting and sounds used to set up the mood, but the gameplay was overall a bit too repetitive with the guard healing mechanic, as it was kind of easy to cheese. The intro atmosphere definitely set up for something, although to be honest I didn't like the girl's personality that much lol. Store guy is cool though 8)
Got to add that I didn't see much "hybrid" in the game.
I love the game, a good example of the games that can be done with rpg maker
Love the atmosphere the game creates. The first interaction with the guy sets the tone well
