I love the color palate and art style, and your interpretation of the theme was original; great game!

Developer

thanks!

This was the first thing I clicked on when I started going through the submissions on Day 1. I'm glad you got it to work :)

It's a pretty fun game. The art direction is wonderful! I think that spookier sound design would've added to the game's tension, as would harder gameplay. 

Potential Bug: I don't know if you were supposed to be able to grab one of the skulls more than once, but I managed to get 4-5 bones out of one skull.

Very nice game overall, good job! :)

Developer

thanks for coming back to play it! Since I'm planning on expanding on my game, I'll make it harder and spookier.(I'm working on some really creepy characters ;)  )  oh, and thanks for the bug report!

Nice! Do you have an ideal itch.io release date, or are you aiming for a paid steam release?

Developer

Not yet. I'm still early in development, but if you want any future updates on the project you can check out my twitter. I might do some devlogs.

Nice Artwork and Game Design, i realy liked it. But unfortunately for me the UI was cut off because I have a 21:9 monitor.

Developer

uhhhh completely forgot to add that lmao

This is one of my favorites so far. That art style is super unique and interesting. You should definitely make a whole game in that style if you haven't already. And if you have, send me the steam link ;D

thx! I'm making a full lovecraftian horror game.  This is my proof of concept of sorts.

Awesome, where can I follow you for updates?

Developer(+1)

i might make some devlogs or sum thing, if I do I'll post it on my twitter https://twitter.com/Grizzlygamess

The game looks very nice! I really enjoyed the hunt. 

The only thing that was annoying is my mouse moving freely while playing. Because I use 2 monitors, I clicked out from the game a few times :D

Developer

I didn't think about that thx!

Very cool art, Unfortunatly the game lags on my system. Not sure why, coudln't realy test it because of the lag.

My Honest Feedback: 

Solid 9/10, would definitely recommend
Also i dig the Doom-like Horizontal-Only Camera Rotation, guess we were thinking the same when we were creating our games lmao

Developer(+1)

originally Iwas just going to make a doom clone also I totally forget to take the stuff where you could climb on npc's lmao

Submitted(+1)

lovely atmosphere.

The performance was not good on the battle scene, but i loved the graphics! And the idea is cool. Good game!

Submitted(+1)

I love the art style but, for some reason game got about 15-20 fps after leaving starting aera on my RTX 3050 so that's odd.

Submitted(+1)

Very unique art style, loved the atmosphere.

Submitted(+1)

This is really cool! I absolutely love the art style and the way the trees lay down to be out of the way. The only criticisms I have are that the UI boxes are a little too big and the text of the characters in town can be blocked by them, and you can't look up. Otherwise, this was awesome!

Developer(+1)

i couldn't figure out how to make my UI look good but ill remake ot after The jam. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Seems like a great game, I couldn't get it to run very well on my computer, but I loved the art style and everything

Submitted(+1)

The art was very cool. Good job.

Liked art and atmosphere, feels very cozy.

It feels like this game should be topdown or at least like when you press f5 in minecraft dont know how thats called because enemies are basically everywhere and it's hard to know what and where damages you. Also aiming is difficult but when enemies are everywhere it doesn't really matter where you shoot

Developer

hmmmm is see what you mean, maybe a top-down view would be better. and the shooting is ass I know lol. Ether way thx for playing 

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game. That art is so good! :D

Developer(+1)

thx!
