Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Also, I appreciate the encouragement! I'm excited to keep messing around in the engine. :D

Thank you for the kind words! I had a ton of fun making this and I'm excited that people seem to like it!
I'm already off running after the next game idea I have, so that may happen sooner rather than later, who knows? This engine is quirky and challenging to decipher, but also there's something about it that just gels with me in ways that other ones haven't, and I'm kind of smitten.
Thank you, I appreciate that! It was a lot of frustration getting the 3D models to do what I wanted them to, but I feel like I was able to learn a lot about the engine's peculiarities in the process, so I think it was worth it.
As for the VA, I can tell you guys enjoy it, it comes through in the end result! Keep it up!
This was actually a ton of fun to play, and there's a lot of game here for a jam game. The art is simple, but honestly really charming and I think it works well here given the tone of the game. The voice acting is actually... really well done? Like, it feels well recorded and implemented and added a lot to the game overall. Good job all around, thanks for the fun submission! I haven't had this much fun killing elves since Elf Bowling.
The design of the house, and the atmosphere in general, is fantastic! I'm glad to see a horror game in this jam, and I won't lie -- I got jump-scared more than a few times by turning around and seeing Krampus right f*cking there. If I had any recommendations at all it would be that I wish I had had a little more survivability, I kept getting cornered by Krampus after getting the lockpicks and couldn't make it past without dying. Otherwise though, everything about this is fantastic. Great submission!
Thank you for the kind feedback! Yeah, working with 3D models for the weapons and enemies was probably my biggest obstacle in this, but I feel like I kind of got a handle on it now? One thing I figured out early on is to not mess with anything other than .md3 files even if the editor supports other formats, and that the Blender .md3 import/export plugin seems more reliable than Noesis ended up being. Still a huge headache though -- I'm glad I was able to get it to work in the end!
Also, the dancing -- I know it's dorky as hell but I couldn't resist including it lol.
Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, that's my one big regret with this one -- I got so bogged down in making assets for it that I sort of lost sight of the big picture that the game needs to be a game. I snapped out of that in the last day of the jam and used a bunch of CC0 assets to finish it out, but next time I think I'll go in with a different strategy. Glad it wasn't just me feeling that way about it.
