Oooh now this was interesting. I almost want to call this "Second-Person view" what with your lttle rover. Wonderful move to have it all displayed in an in-universe screen. 

I would like if there was maybe one or two more slight spooks in the first few room you scan before things get really wild, but that's about it. That aside, this is great. I'll be looking forward to the other episodes.

Oh now this is kind of brilliant. The premise in and of itself is a great autmatic tension builder, given your base task is so clearlt one that WILL kill you if something goes wrong - regardless of anything spooky happening. Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't. This was a great, scary surprise!

A strange, bewildering and spooky little ride. I am still unsure of what exactly ws going on, and a bit more of a hint as to what to do wihen the rooms start looping would be nice, but it set a wonderful, spooky mood very well. Good work!

Thank you, I appreciate you checking it out. Glad you enjoyed it.

I can't take credit for most of the environmental pixel art. That's the work of the wonderful creator of the Slasher Forest and Horror City tilesets. I did, however, modify character sprites fromt hem to create characters, and did a few sprites myself from scratch. And the hand drawn parts were all me.

Either way, it's a big and very entertaining step up from Golly Soda Pop, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Great work!

I spent a good ten minutes doing so. It literally cannot open. Even after three reboots. Neither can the closet.

As soon as I enter the first room and put the little soldier on the table, I am fresh out of options. Nothingw orks. As you can see below, I am not the only one with this problem.

Are you aware that your game literally does not work? The first door at the beginning doesn't open no matter what you do.

Oh man, I remember playing the original years ago. Might very well do this one too.

Drifter had a delightfully mean and at times surreal take on the prompt. These are truly "alien" creatures you see and interact with, and I do like the sheer catharsis of the choice made by the end.

The game, however, is largely just dialogue with a wee bit of movement. This is understandable for a Jam game, naturally, but for such a cool idea, it'd be a lot more fun to actually get to ACTIVELY get some justice for what has been going on for you.

Still, I liked the idea of involving some kind of evil shadow government / alien cult in this. Very cool stuff and very distinct.

Now this - this was the classic alien abduction story done terrifyingly right.

There's a lot of ways to go with tropes that are now so classic they are considered goofy. One is to try and reinvent them entirely... another is to try and portray them as straight as possible and look for the fear in it. You did this wonderfully with Missing Time.

Fractured memories. Shambling around a dark house. The warped narrator voice. The glimpses you catch. All of it makes for en engaging abduction story, and one of the best told in the jam.

The main issue I find is with character movement - the headbop is so fast and frantic it's downright ridiculous, as is the character's speed for running around in such a small house, and it just ended up making otherwise scary moments comical.

But that said - great take on the idea.

So, this is actually really really damn cool. Using the classical look of the Flatwoods monster, putting you in a constantly warping house... all the ideas are great, and it all LOOKS awesome.

However, to be brutally honest, the gameplay just ended up being flat out frustrating more than anything. Enemies constantly sneak up on you from the back, and you are basically just running around headlessly hoping you are lucky enough to have a Shambler trap, since those guys especially get annoying. 

My victory at the end was little more than pure luck of running into enough Material to enter the portal once I stumbled across it. it didn't feel like a fight. It felt like a fluke.

But with that said, if that was ironed out, this could be an AMAZING randomized horror experience! So please, it would be awesome to see you work more on this. Flatwoods could easily be great!

Now that is a hell of a creative take on the prompt. Take the Extra-terrestrial and make it little more than whimsical window dressing for something far more mundane... and way worse.

It's not super scary exactly, but it is certainly one of the most unique games in the jam just from the base idea - and big props to your narrator, who gives this a lot of fun energy right out of the gate. Good stuff!

A fun little romp, this one! While obviously nowhere near as polished as Meliisa (which I adored back when I played it, by the way), Petya manages to be funny, silly and just briefly, a bit intimidating. Good stuff"! Can't wait for Date Time to be complete!

I did run into some issues, like the Inquisitor getting stuck in place resulting in me hearing the danger music forever, as well as him kind of just meandering around and being more annoying to shake off than he should be. 

It could stand a little polish in terms of transitions from scene to scene, location to location, gameplay to cutscene, as it is a bit sudden and jarring - but that also kind of brings to mind the kind of messy Italian horror movies the game seems based on, so perhaps this is a stylistic choice. 

Either way, I did enjoy myself a lot playing this strange, spooky little game. Good work! 

I rather enjoy RPG Maker horror, and this was certainly one with a very unique setting, that interested me quite a bit. And without giving too much away spoiler-wise, I was very happy to see that a Restaurant-themed horror story did not go the obvious route that so many of them do. Well, sort of. But with a bit of a twist I highly appreciated.

The actual restaurant managment minigame is a little odd. I do enjoy playing it, but I actually didn't notice much different from the accessories, and raising customer patience basically meant I never had to try and use any of the others. And every time, I ended up going over time with no consequence. I'm a little bewildered as to how that works, and maybe it could use a bit of a workover. The idea is good, it just kind of felt like I Was forced to take five-minute breaks between the story more than anything else.

And I do wish more things happened in the apartment - stuff through the window, a few more hints as to the full story, etc. Just to keep it varied.

That said, Dead Plate and all of its endings entertained me thoroughly throughout, and we have quite a lovely art style and intense villain to work with - all the stuff a good RPG horror game needs. Highly recommend this one!

But still, this is just a demo, and you've definitely made me thirsty for more. Good job!

This was a great ol' time. It's completely ridiculous, lots of fun and super fast-paced and manic, just like you would want a christmas horror shooter to be.
I kind of wanted at least a little more context - like was Santa poisoned, and if so, why? And what was he actually shooting at the whole time or was the literal entire thing in his head? Just a little bit of clarification on that would be nice.

But still, it was a blast to gun my way through snowmen, presents, nutcrackers and rocking horses for Christmas. Good work!

Satan Claus is pretty fun. Clearly aware that the idea has been done a lot, it decides to just have a little fun. Well constructed and with a few funny additions, it becomes an enjoyable little romp.

The two major things that held it back a bit for me was the Santa's tendency to meander about and constantly walk back into a room right when you were doing something, not to mention having to restart from the beginning every time you got hurt. Well, that and a minor bug getting me stuck one time.

Still, fun little game over all. I sure enjoyed it.

The main gripe here is the two evil creatures staring at you while you are in the kitchen. They are just entirely too goofy and too cartoonishly-evil-looking to really fit with the resto f the game's surreal mood. New models for those would do wonders

That said, this was still fairly interesting. Good work!

((Your game is the first featured in the video))

Well this was... surprising. 

A short shooter that survives largely on its surreal visual style, it is a quick but rather fun romp for the sheer "what-the-hell"-factor it provides. I do wish it was a little clearer on how to advance at first. I would never guess to shoot at a dead guy on the floor. But it was VERY fun.
