I like the ambience of this game. The way the Filters  + Graphics + Music are put together makes the mood on this game very unique! My only critique here is that the character moves very slowly and the enemy doesn't have an HP bar. That second part is a real problem since it kills part of the strategy of the combat side. Other than that Good job :D

Interesting. Haven't run into a turn based combat system yet. I was glad I didn't have to fight daddy because I was out of potions and magic lmao 

Interesting entry, good use of that crt shader, lends a haunting spoopyness to the visuals which s really nice.

Love the atmosphere of the game. The immersion got a bit messy during the battle against the slime though. The background music just doesn't feel battle-ish. Otherwise, nice game.

Also got jumpscared by the slime!

This game has a very interesting atmosphere. In some ways, it reminds me of games like Off, Yume Nikki, Omori, with that constant sense of unsettling (unsettlement? is this a word?). That kinda thing that the game breaks expectations so often that you never know what's going to happen next.

Good work!

The visual effect and overall mood was dope. You did really well with the size restrictions. Combat seemed simple but not a problem.

Really interesting game! I loved its crypic and eerie narrative. I wasn't fond of the combat mechanics, but it served its purpose.

Great assets and atmosphere. I like the concept, well done!

I loved this game! Amazed at the depth of emotions that you conveyed in such limited amount of text characters. Was also amazed at the screen effect, never would have guessed that could work in pixels as well as it did. Awesome job! The first battle starting got me good, I jumped.

Nice atmosphere. The CRT effects work quite well, especially in the 64x64 space. The story was well done and compelling and, while I would have liked a bit more complexity in the battles, I'm impressed by all you managed to get done in so short of a time.

Thanks! :)

I've never been so unnerved by pixels. The atmosphere was unsettling enough that I couldn't finish because I was expecting a jumpscare. Amazing work. 10/10
