This kicks ass! As someone who grew up on Nancy Drew and point and click flash games, this brought back some great memories and was super enjoyable to play. It really nails that 'classic point and click horror game' vibe while still feeling fresh and without having any of the annoying parts many of those games had. Really love the graphics too, very pretty looking. I really liked the puzzle with the diary page and the door, very cool! My only complaint is that the loading time between screens can get a little irritating at times, it would be nice if it changed length depending on whether it was a new room or not. I'd love to see more of this! Will probably play it again so I can get a perfect score and get a perfect investigation level(I wonder if that unlocks an alternate ending?) Overall, extremely fun and enjoyable experience.
Hello botflytime :-)
I really like long, full posts, like this one. Just for that, thank you ^^.
I played a lot of point n click horror flash games 10 years ago. I wanted to do mine with more modern technologies. I wanted a simple plot in the style of classic horror stories and easy gameplay. It was so that the few non-gaming friends for whom the game was originally intended would not get bored after 2 minutes. It was only afterwards that I understood that it could interest more people and that I hired a translator for the English version. But basically, the game was thought of as a little extra for a late Halloween night.
For the transitions between rooms, I coded the game so that the speed adapts to the refresh rate of the player's screen. The speed is related to the power of the machine used by the player. I haven't found a better solution yet. But it must exist.
Thank you very much for playing, botflytime !Come back to this page whenever you want, you are welcome :-) Greetings from France.
