Pretty cool mix of the typical "work a job and creepy stuff happens" genre of games and the anomaly hunting type. The scares are solid, and I could see something like this being stretched out into a longer story.
Pretty neat mechanics like chasing the boar, and definitely got some Squirrel Stapler vibes from it while it grew into it's own thing. There's a few bugs here and there but overall great work!
Congrats on the release, really impressive work for 15 years old. The story is interesting though some build up to the ending would be good (such as showing the shadowy figure ahead of time), and the skeletons are a bit weird.
Shows promise, but the pixel effect on the fonts make it really hard to read, and the text box jumping doesn't help. With some polish it could be a solid intro to a world of corporate horror.
I have to ask how much of it was AI assisted, because there's rooms that just disappear, and entire areas being occluded as you look at them. That being said, the locker scare was pretty good, just look more into level design itself rather than using stock asset maps solely.
Aside from some localization bugs and a few weirdness with mouse curson not getting hidden, it's a pretty solid demo with a scary as hell monster. Looking forward to it's development!
Good monster design and mechanics, really startled me when I turned the corner. The puzzle aspect was simple but just enough for a granny style game. Nice work!
It's like someone took Doodle God and SAW and put them in a blender, then pushed it through a hole. Great puzzle mechanics and atmosphere, I'd love to see how a full game would play out like it.
Simple enough to understand the basic mechanics regardless of language barriers, but I would love to read about all these ghosts and their various reports because the different forms they take are really interesting.
Really solid demo showcasing the mechanics, and most importantly the style of scares. The animations are solid and tense, really looking forward to this!
While I'm generally not a fan of Granny style games, I have to admit that the use of seeds for speedrunning, the overall layout of the map, and the monster's design are extremely well made. Great work!
Really nice work on the scares and mechanics and I'm glad I got all the endings, but there's a lot of what feels like "dead time" where nothing is happening in the environment (at least in my playthrough). Adding some dynamic effects like lights flickering, wind noises or leaves crunching could really amp up the tension.
Just a heads up, it looks like you accidentally uploaded the entire butler directory instead of just the game. There's nothing identifying in the batch file, but for simplicity you should point the PathToBuild to an folder that just contains the .zip file for the game.
It's simple but that's really nice in an anomaly hunting game because it makes changes more impactful. Great work and happy to see you keep updating it!
Didn't run into any bugs and the story is impactful, just gave me a whiplash getting the ending and smash cutting to the dad busting a move in the living room. It's a weird choice for what is supposed to be a dark and somber story.
I really have no idea how I was supposed to solve the rope puzzle, but it has promise. Just wish that getting caught wasn't a full reset of the game, a checkpoint after the trap door would do wonders.
Starting the demo off with a maze was a brave choice, but once I managed through it and got to the actual plot I was intrigued. Dreamlike horror can be abstract and interested, so best of luck with the full release!
Really solid little game with some good jumpscares that were only tarnished by the fact that it had to load the camera placement which kind of spoiled the surprise.
