Thank you! I was trying to get that rose-gold kinda sheen that copper plates have - turns out that rose-gold is also just very nice to look at in itself!
Thank you for playing! I highly recommend printmaking, it can be frustrating, but so satisfying. (Also it’s hard not to feel a little like a mage when you’re coating plates in strange resins, wafting them over flames and dipping them in acids!)
This is so, so, so good! Absolutely love the music, the art and palette and the recontextualised extract from PS Pro magazine (such a brutal review!), they set up such an eerie atmosphere.
Thanks for reading, I’m glad you enjoyed it! But yes, it’ll probably resonate more in warmer weather, especially if you are anything like me and the return of summer brings with it a certain dread already. I’m obsessed with throwing things into wells as a game mechanic / narrative device, definitely want to explore it further!
I loved this! Recalls memories of reading manuals online for games I didn’t own, and thinking they were far more expansive than what they eventually turned out to be.
I really liked the atmosphere of this, not knowing anything of the wider world in which it is set. Such interesting hints at things happening outside the immediate setting - keen to check out the Archivist and the Revolution (and the Weil/Brecht ballad!)
Thank you for playing, this is exactly the feeling I was aiming for. (I hope the wind and rain didn’t do any damage though!) Keen to check out your entry for Le Grand Guignol too!
Too real, too real, right down to the crackers and hummus by the fridge. I really appreciate that for a time at least you can create just as much email churn for your coworkers, as they create for you.
This was so effective at conveying an eerie mood! I really liked the exploratory quality of trying out different actions with what was available in the scene, and the subtle changes in the way the creature interacts with the world across the story. Not sure if this is the case, but it gives a sense that if I had used different actions the story might turn out differently.
Yess I love this so much! Very much appreciate the option to a) have wacom tablet and b) no pants to truly and accurately represent my computer use at home.!
I died a fair few times but that could be a me-issue! The ambience, and the designs of the ghosts and items work well together. And it’s a small detail, but I really like the spellcasting and warding modelling and animation - that exorcist has seen some battles.
This aligns very accurately with my experience of living with a black cat. Really cute visuals, and I enjoyed the chaos of seeing light fixtures and hanging plants come tumbling down if you bounced off them one too many times. I liked this a lot!!!
I really like the conceit of navigating the whole game through a typing interface! Wasn’t 100% clear at the start that the up arrow made the offering, but once I figured it out was off and away. I really like the art style too!
Oh (and ow) wow this is fantastic. Kinda frightening how quickly this took me into a compulsive state of being unable to tear myself away, really effective visuals and sound design too. (The sound of those coins raining down…)
Thank you so much for your feedback! I have this idea of doing some broken-looking 3D photogrammetric models in a future version for all the specimens. Looking forward to checking out your game the first chance I get too!
I really liked the pixel art for this! The Starlight Diner feels so reminiscent of a haunted-looking roadside diner I always used to stop at when traveling!
This is fantastic! The writing conveys such a writhing, itchy feeling. Probably how it feels to be infected with a parasite.
This may sound a bit odd, but I enjoyed the sense of dis-empowerment the game conveys. That feeling of being in imminent danger but unable to perceive it, let alone get away from it. It pushed back against my ability to change things in an interesting way which made sense given the story.
Thank you for playing, I’m glad you enjoyed it! No sound in this version sadly. I was aiming to get an ambient soundscape (with plot-relevant ticking and/or alarm-chirping) into it but ran out of time! Something I’ll add in a future revision!
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! My writing could… probably use a little editing. Left to my own devices I love (and overuse) my commas and run-on sentences.
I don’t really have a background in coding or writing! I started using twine as kind of a side thing while doing a visual art degree, and quickly fell in love with it. I’ve always loved complicated fiction, so I figured if I was going to make games it’d have be text games!
The art and sound design in this was great! I wasn’t entirely clear on my goals, but then, if in real life a strange marionette-like creature put me up on stage and told me to entertain the crowd I’d be utterly lost and terrified too. Really spooky atmosphere!
Thank you so much for playing! You’re right, text is really quite small - I could have dedicated a little time to making it more accessible. I appreciate your feedback!
The art-style is fantastic, and the way whatever is stalking you shifts in and out of view is really subtly creepy. I also really like the way the items/options you (literally) have to hand change around across successive sessions. I want to keep exploring this one!
Loved the eerie feeling of this one! Similar to another commenter… not entirely sure what happened but it definitely left an impression. I hope my wish gets fulfilled and/or I successfully fulfilled someone else’s wish!
Oh gosh I really like this! It reminds me a little of Halloween Night II in its friendly/creepy tone. Loved seeing all the different monsters/costumes (and the fact they’re all little guys with names), and the disappointed ‘egh’ sound they make when you hand them the wrong candy.
