Hello again, the game seems to work now. I played through it to the end. There was just a small bug that caused the Yes or No question to overlay the text on the last prompt (the one for the note) which I think may have been caused by progressing text too quickly.
I like the game btw, I'd like to see what else comes of it.
Hey! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're looking into fixing it right now!
Update: Turns out when I set everything up for controller I accidently took out certain keyboard controls. It should be good in v1.6, thank you again so much for letting us know!
For a demo it looks promising for some point and click people but I am not one of them so unfortunately this isn't the game I would spend much time on.
Fantastic game, equal parts nostalgic and spooky. Really reminds me of World of Horror which is, as far as I’m concerned, the highest praise! Looking forward to the rest!
I look forward to the full release. Right now I think I'm just going to show my support by funding. (Also idk if it's a silent hill reference but very cool still.)
Hey! I have been trying out a couple of games with a friend recently. We came across your project and really, really liked it. (He played, I sat next to him watching). In case you decide to add different languages to the Options, I can gladly provide you with the german localization! For free, pure refshare and just for fun. I have been working on Industry Idle and Spirit Detective so far - got a bit of air for other things on the side as there is no update coming for those right now. Your concept is great, and I'd love to be a part of making it even greater :P hmu whenever, i am down!
I LOVED THIS GAME! I love the retro point n click horror adventure aspect and can't wait until the full release! 10/10. Check out my playthrough/review below.
I really enjoyed this game and would encourage the developers to continue with development of it! The controls felt a bit redundant at times, but that didn't interfere with me having a great experience and first impression of the game. Thank you so much for sharing this game!
I played this for my YouTube Channel, if you'd like to watch, click here!
Was finally able to give it a go, beat it in my first try ;0 Ayo! And literally at 5PM on the dot! lmao. Good stuff, def did remind me of the Dejavu and Uninvited days that I knew of from childhood on Amiga
Once I figured out what to do, it was pretty quick, but wow this game looks and plays amazingly! I loved the style, the transitions, the sound, everything! I look forward to the full game!
Great work! Pixel art and sound design are amazing. My only criticism, as others have mentioned, is the controls. It would be great to have a controller input, and maybe toggle the comand selection, or make Examine "ON" by default.
This was absolutely amazing. I would totally buy a full version of this. Just one feature request though: additional input methods (mouse or controller). Thank you so much for this fantastic experience!
I don't have a lot of experience with point and click games, but I realllly dug this. It reminded me of a short Junji ito story (Which was a good thing) Can't wait to see what happens. I did make a YouTube video on this- hope ya'll enjoy!
Fascinating little demo, it has all the aesthetic and feel it needs to become a very good NES successor! I definitely would love to see more of this done! Having to manually select options built up a tension I didn't even expect which is great!
I really, really enjoyed this demo. You nailed the aesthetic -- the itty bit graphics, unnerving sound effects, and the dirge looping in the background all hit me straight in the nostalgia. The atmosphere was tense (I shrieked the first time the ghost threatened me) and it was satisfying to streamline and retry my runs until I found the best ending. I would absolutely buy a full-length game. 👍
Very very good! I loved the point & click, having to do everything manually. Really creepy at some parts, but enjoyed it! Trying to read that note was challenging enough. I cannot wait for the full release! Keep up the good work!
Hi there, great work on the game! This reminds me of the old Shadowgate game, the one on NES. I loved that game to death, and was quite sad there are only few games like it. Love your game too, I hope it sees the light of day, as a full release :)
Hi, found your game through manlybadasshero. Looks awesome! I wanted to swing by and show some support because I'm really excited to see more. I love the aesthetic. The clicking, admittedly, got a little tedious. Click on the command, then the thing, then the command again, then another thing. Not enough to put me off playing, but as a constructive criticism, it would be a big quality of life improvement if I could click on Examine, click everything I want to examine, and then click on Move, repeat, so on ad infinitum.
Hey Tristan, thanks for the feedback! We have it so the Shift key retriggers the command at the moment. It acts as the select button, as well as the numpads selecting the commands too. But with that said it also might be best to just keep the selection toggled after using. We'll be sure to keep this in consideration for the final release if we go through with it.

It would be cool if I could use the mouse :) looks very nice
"Yes or No" prompts are still bugged. When I pick one, the game fails to progress and softlocks on the screen. (playing on keyboard btw)
Thanks Dravis, I'll just revert back to v1.4 for now until I find out what the problem is.
Update: I think I've figured out the problem, if you could try 1.9 and let me know if that works for you I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks again!

Hey, thanks Dravis!
I'll be sure to look into the last bug when I get home from work. But for now, thanks for your help with this and your patience!
When I updated to the latest version, it always became impossible to progress when there was a choice of "Yes" or "No"... ;_;
(It occurred in toilets and fly boxes.)
Nice game, so I hope the problem is solved!

Yay! In "1.9", it was possible to proceed from "Yes, No"!
(I only checked the toilet and the fly box)
Thanks for the fix ;)
Thank you so much for the follow up!
Mac release, please?
We'll try and get it on there, for sure.
Please do! I'll buy it day one. I love these old point and click games like Shadowgate.
Seems very nice, congratz.

Very well done, following!

i like the concept but the controls were tricky!
This was really good!
Please release the Japanese version!!

Please finish- would definitely buy this!
long time not feeling like this "love it"

We'll be sure to add controller support for sure, thanks!
This was really good. I need the full game as soon as possible. The gameplay was unique and you captured the atmosphere quite well.
Watch video here:
This looks great! Would you consider making a Linux build of the game?
When the time comes, we'll be sure to consider it!
Awesome game!

I love these type of games and this was great! Good job, can't wait for the next part.

Hi, I find out about a part of the Japanese notation is incorrect. It's not "いいス", it's "いいえ".
I am also looking forward to the development of the Japanese version. Thanks.
Thank you Suzu, fixing that right away!
