The atmosphere you created for this game was amazing. It feels very polished and the lighting and the music are very good. Great job!

How does you game fit the theme?
The boy is being helped by the souls to try and save himself. The boy is stuck in "The Between" and the only way out is to get HELP from the souls, so he doesnt end up alone.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Mostly all of the content is made from scratch.

This game looks so good, especially for a 3D game! During these time crunch game-jams its hard to make a 3D game shine the same way you could get a 2D game to look good but you totally did it. The top-down camera was a great choice and the game felt really polished. I wish the instructions had stuck around for a tiny bit longer, maybe until I had left the starting zone. I also never finished the game and I played for over 10 minutes, after a while I just said I couldn't keep going but I think that could be amended with more graves scattered around the place, the dopamine from finding a grave is what kept me playing and when that time draws out as much as it did sometimes I lost interest. I'm only able to get into the weeds like that though because the game was so refined, y'all did a really good job!
Wow, this is a pretty dark take of the theme, and I love it!
Great graphics and audio, really fits the horror theme, maybe I would like for the lantern time to be a little more generous, it's pretty hard as it is, but overall it's a creepy experience with a dark atmosphere.
Also, the cutscene in the beginning scared the hell out of me 🤣
Nice work!

There-ThereFirst of all, thank you for playing and the kind words!
About the lantern, it most likely won't be changed, but there will be some kind of direction, to help you utilize the life of the lantern itself.
Yeah the intro definitely has some kind of shock factor, to prepare you to whats coming haha.
Thanks for the review, means a lot!
The visuals looks really great! I do find it hard to play though, like I played it over 7+ times without getting much more souls. Also a nice little cutscene at the start of the game :)

Call From BelowVisuals, Models, and Night Ambience are all direct 5-stars. The gameplay is a little repetitive, so maybe something like a jumpscare here and there or a level target might make it a little more interesting.

Will You Be My Friend ?The visuals and art look great! (cover image looks nice too :) )But i found it to be a bit boring walking around trying to find out where to go. You could maybe add details to the environment, giving subtle signs of where the player has to go. But great job on making this, this a lot of potential for being something amazing!

A.L.O.N.E.Great game but I think it needs to be more obvious when we run out of light and restart thats it's because of the light. Anyway, good game !
Submitted
The Running FanGreat work.
I was just a little frustrated because we need to restart the game multiple time until we know where are the blue lights to refill the bar.
But atmosphere and graphics are very well.

The Shadow of YANAHaha, amazing job on the game! The light system is pretty similar to the game we made. I love concept and the spooky environment! Good job!

Cult WreckersGreat game, only think i would point out is that sanity (bottom right bar) is going down even when no ghosts are around me, cool game with great game play.

Are you alone?Lights and the music are making the atmosphere. The models are pretty and the animations are great. It took my a while to figure out what to do and where to find souls - instructions in the game would be cool. Criticism: in the introduction you could sort of equalize the sound of engine and the crash - it's too loud. Overall nice job!
