Hi! This is my game where I experimented with alternative controls: you blow out candles using your microphone: https://xlyebuwek.itch.io/dont-summon-me

I'd be happy if you give it a try!

I'll also be playing and rating other games from this jam tonight, so I'll make sure to check out the ones from this thread too ( ˘▽˘)っ♨

Well, I was genuinely impressed by the atmosphere and aesthetics, you have remarkable talent

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment and feedback! I'll definitely give your game a try soon too (✯◡✯)

Thank you so much! I'll definitely play your game tonight and come back to share my thoughts too

Hey! Thanks a lot for your comment and for playing my game! Right now the mic input system doesn't distinguish blowing sounds from other noises, so technically the candles can be extinguished by any sound. But I'm planning to fix that in a future update

Thank you so much for your comment and feedback!

I'll definitely play your game as well soon

Thank you so much! By the way, I've seen and played your game too and honestly, those creepy sounds almost gave me a heart attack lol! It's insanely well done

Hey! Thank you!!
I played the-delve-2, and I'm really impressed, the game feels incredibly well-made and polished

Such amazing voice acting, the voice and intonation are sooo good! The shaders are great, the visuals are stunning, and the mechanics are top-notch. Everything feels so well done! Thank you for this experience

Hi there! Thanks a lot! Yeah I already rated FairyTailoPhobia - it's awesome

Got the Zeke ending! Awesome game, the atmosphere is incredible, and the navigation system is really well-designed imo. But the map could use a bit more landscape detail, things like paths leading to the house's door and other landmarks would make navigation clearer.

And I also loved the character models and the soundtrack!

Whoa, thanks so much for the detailed feedback! I totally agree, the progression and story are a bit too linear right now, and that's something I definitely want to improve in the future.

I'm planning to keep developing the mic-based control idea, specifically by adding sound type recognition, so the game can tell a breath from regular noise based on the audio waveform. I also want to include more interaction mechanics, like blowing away dust or scaring NPCs with loud noises (so players can basically create their own jump scares lol).

Thank you again for your feedback, I really appreciate it <3

Really atmospheric! I'm still in the middle of playing, but I'm already loving it. Also the photos are super cool, by the way! 

Just wanted to mention a small bug: I went straight for the burger in the fridge at the start (don't ask), and after that I couldn't pick up the satellite dish, had to restart the game :D

Haha, glad you liked it! Though I hope you're okay now, I'll definitely add a disclaimer next time ⊂◉‿◉つ

Thank you so much to everyone who played and shared feedback! It looks like the Mac (M1/M2) version isn't working at the moment, so the game is currently available only on Windows.

Please don't hesitate to share links to your games, I'd love to try them out and leave my feedback too!

РЕЙТБОМБЕРИМ ЧУВАКИ ЕСТЬ ЛОКАЛИЗАЦИЯ НА РУССКИЙ

А так очень классный экспириенс, красивый арт, сделано очень качественно, наверное самый качественный энтри на этом джэме

you're my favorite entry in this jam ngl

Thank you! I tried your game, it's really well made, and I had a lot of fun playing it. Great job

Awesome game! The visuals are stunning, and the atmosphere is incredibly well captured. Really well done, I hope this project keeps growing

Amazing art and setting!

I'd be happy if you tried my game! 

I'll try your games in return!

The Mac version is currently broken, so it's only available for Windows right now.

Thank you for your comment! Sorry that happened, I'll fix it right after the jam ends, since re-uploading is currently disabled
Could you please let me know if you're using an M1 or M2 Mac?

Hi! I'd love to give it a try, but I can't seem to find the download link. Not sure if it's actually available here?

Thanks a lot! Feel free to share your game too, I'd love to exchange feedback! ໒(⊙ᴗ⊙)७✎▤

I'd be glad if you could take a look https://xlyebuwek.itch.io/dont-summon-me 

I can't even describe the wave of nostalgia I felt playing your game! That wafu sketch aesthetic is absolutely brilliant. Masterpiece!

Thank you!! Yeah, I haven't added any other interaction methods yet. My main focus was on experimenting with alternative controls to enhance immersion but If I decide to expand on this idea in the future, I'll definitely include a keyboardandmouse option for accessibility

Huge kudos for the setting and the disappearing doors effect

Okay, that was a genuinely creepy experience. I haven't finished it yet, but I already wanted to leave a comment. First of all the setting is a solid 10/10. The jump scares are well-balanced, and most of the tension comes from the ambient sounds, atmosphere, and visual effects. Considering it was made for a jam, I'd say this is my favorite entry so far. Great job!!!

I love games like this, I really enjoyed it. Great visuals, smooth controls, and an amazing vibe. I think this game has huge potential

It'll be super cozy and fun if we go through all the entries as a group and get into the Halloween spirit 

If anyone wants to host the stream PLEASE go for it

If not, I can take care of it although I'm not a streamer D:

The goal isn't to gain an audience or hype, but just to have fun and make it a big friendly scream jam gaming marathon

If that sounds fun to you, let me know 🎈

I had a great time, the aesthetics were top-notch ngl. Please keep it up!

A small but polished and well-made game. I really want to highlight its awesome visual style, I'd love to play a full version with a story someday

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it 🍥

Would love for you to check it out and share your thoughts! Planning to grow the idea of an alternative control method later on

Thanks a lot for the update! I'll try to catch this floor bug on Mac today. Not sure yet what's causing it, I haven't been able to reproduce it on my device so far

I've just added the macOS build to the project page, along with a short launch guide in the game description
