Thanks a lot! “Mother” in itself is an interesting one to make (but it wouldn’t fit the VHS theme as much), and I’ll probably make it someday. The title’s actually intentional! “Daddy” is meant to tie to the child’s perspective/voice in the game rather than just the father’s. Really hope the game doesn’t trip anything on the TOS side.
One small correction on references though; MyHouse.wad is perhaps the best DOOM mod there ever will be, but the one I was referring to (and I think deserves a shoutout) is this short film:
Should’ve been clearer in the original post, my bad.
And yeah, Skinamarink and Heck (the latter being a proof of concept of Skinamarink, iirc) are OP!
Hey, thanks for the thorough playthrough and honest feedback — genuinely appreciated! You’re right that there is a disconnect between the gameplay and the final art, and perhaps I’m to blame for that. This is one of the areas we need to tighten. As for the question of why to hide, I’d like to gently point you towards the audio a bit. There’s more going on in the soundscape than the music and your own footsteps. Might be worth a second listen with the tracks off, especially after the battery dies out. Appreciate you sticking it out to the end!
Hi, thanks for playing the game! I agree that the music could have been more era-accurate, but I had to mostly use re-use old compositions from a friend because of a tight schedule.
I understand where you’re coming from. I’m not pushing for Linux support, but since I am a participant in this jam, I thought it would be a good sport to play and rate all the entries. The ones I could not get working on my machine, I kinda feel a need to mention so that they aren’t left out.
Absolute beauty. Enjoyed playing this. Spotting the entity gets a bit repetitive though - having the entity around a bit rarer would be great. Nevertheless, a great game that nails the PS1 vibe.
Very low effort, buggy entry. Seems AI generated, there’s nothing to do for 5 whole minutes but roam around this very small map collecting bullets that are of no use other than the occasional rocket jumping (that, for some reason, you need to climb stairs??) The eye at the end of the 5-minute mark does not scare.
