Very simple but enjoyable little Christmas Horror Game. I do wish there was a bit more Christmas decoration around and that the Santa AI was a bit more unpredictable but the game itself was a fun way to kill 15 minutes. I liked it!

I'd love to see you try something like this again, but without the game jam time restraints. Decorating the rooms, adding things like safes to grab items using codes via hints in the world and adding some story within the house would go a long way. As of right now, this is about as bare bones as it gets. Keep developing, Keep improving. Look forward to trying out another one of your projects in the future!
Conceptually a good idea. Reminds me a little bit of Birdbox in some ways. You said this was to test Godot so I don't watch to judge to harshly, but I will say this game picks up in basic capture utilities very oddly (show at the start of the video) and I found a pretty nasty bug that got me stuck in the bathroom towards the start of the video as well.
Otherwise it was fine. Some more detail in the environment, another segment where I would have to hide and something more than a grey screen towards the end would have went a long way!
Very dark game that I think could benefit a ton from some minor tweaks. I hope this project might be touched upon again in a lengthier way as well. I really appreciated what it was trying to do.
My little criticisms:
-Loud jump scare noises actually hurt the bleak atmosphere of the game. Removing them and instead focusing on doors swinging open, objects falling etc would be more impactful and also play into the loneliness/hopelessness of the character.
-One certain object was VERY hard to see
-Rain effects could use some tweaking, they are almost strobe effects which could cause issues with some players.
This was so good! Such an interesting concept that was executed well. Nice camera angles, good aesthetic, awesome integration of things like chapter titles. For a 10 minute long free horror game on Itch, this is top quality. My only major issue is how sensitive the mouse is. I wish there was an in game slider for it.
The threat of what could happen really gave this a ton of tension. Enjoyed the concept. I find radio stations to be awesome set pieces for horror as well (Killer Frequency and Pontypool come to mind). Very easy to manage everything and win though.
Overall well worth the play. Did have to dock a few points for bathroom design though. 1-Ply Toilet Paper and a Non-Draining sink makes me a sad boyo.
I enjoyed this one! Nice little variety of tasks, a lot of suspense waiting for the next scare, a decent little story being told too. Only issues were that I broke one of the jump scares and I'm not sure if my ending was bugged?
Also, the bathrooms are missing toothpaste. How can one brush their teeth?
Niven and Bangers go hand in hand. I like the little trash dude and your bathroom design has been a good start!
Only thing I'd suggest is maybe add something to the walls of the sewers because I thought I was in an infinite loop. A little something on the walls or in the water here and there would be great to know I'm making progress.
A bit of an odd one. Some good little aspects here and there. The main characters inner dialogue was pretty fun at times. One of the hidden objects was very sneaky (I'm shocked I found it tbh). Excellent toilet paper placement in the bathroom. I'd reconsider the flashing light during one scene, it was a bit headache inducing.
I like the setting and antagonist. It gives a rather basic concept a bit of creativity and I'm into that! However, like Niven mentioned in a comment below the AI needs some adjusting. A basic audio queue when the Knight is close and a bit of a speed adjustment would work wonders here. Doing that would also allow for the world to be a bit bigger to make exploration take a bit longer and make the timer a real threat.
Fun little game Niven. Wish I caught it for Christmas, but have this playthrough 363 days early. Nothing ground breaking here, but it was fun enough and I enjoyed the setting which felt fresh compared to other Christmas Horror games that pop up typically. Also, a nice doggie bathroom!
Only complaints really are a severe lack of Human Bathrooms and I do wish there were some size differences with the trees (nothing major) just because all of them being the same size definitely feels a little jarring to me aesthetically but I don't know if that's an easily solvable thing in Copper Cube.
Best Wishes Niven. Here's to a S Tier Bathroom in 2025.
Love me some Lovecraftian things. Love me some Lighthouse horror. This was pretty well done. Mysterious enough to be interesting, but not so out there in the grand scheme of things that it's hard to follow. I do think the final act did get a bit off the rails and the ending definitely didn't work as intended during my playthrough I think.
I'd say overall this was a good experience.
