Spooky entry, felt watched irl once the lamp shattered. The atmosphere you set up was chefs kiss!
Hey! The game design was very interesting as it helped create a mood without using any assets! It was honestly quite prodigious in that regard! You successfully recreated this feeling of navigating through the unknown, while still feeling reassured from understanding what's happening around you thanks to your senses! Congrats on the entry!
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it so much, those are truly some high praises <3
Spooky visual novel! You did a great job making the game have some genuine tension with all the jam’s limitations. Even though most of the game takes place in the dark, I felt you painted a picture of the situation really well which added to the horror element of the game. Great work on this!
Thank you so much!!! I love to see people playing/enjoying my games!
Really bums me out that one of the more important bits didn't work/got bugged out but at least it wasn't one that was necessary for progress xD
also lol at the phone notif jumpscare it actually got me xD
Straight into my deepest fears with the accuracy of a guided missile! I love the use of the use of the dark and the various senses to build tension.
If you expanded this one later, I'd enjoy a maze-like version where you actually have to navigate using the clues. But of course that's way out of scope for this mini-jam.
Honestly I've been tthinking about doing a more expanded version and GOD that would actually be a really compelling method
Keep your eyes peeled (but not too much I am so busy all the time lol)
Ahhh really cool atmosphere!
Thank you <3
Incredibly good use of the restrictions presented in O2A2!! The atmosphere you created with your writing and the background music is amazing, really well done! I was screaming quietly to myself the entire time :) (in both fear and amazement LMAO)
Owaa thank you!! I'm glad it was able to be spooky even with the limitations nwn
this game goes nuts. im quaking in my boots :0
LMAO THANK YOU
U the real MVP (the mvpeach, if you would)
But I'm glad you liked it!! <3
This game was really good and scared me quite a bit. I loved every minute of it. 10/10
Oh wow thank you so much!! I'm honored to have lp made so quickly <3 <3
You're welcome, it's no problem at all :)
This thing made me so paranoid- I love it xd
Great job on this!, the game taking place in the dark was a smart choice for the jam!
Thank you! I really wanted to play into the idea of imagination being more scary than anything I could come up with, glad u liked it!
Another banger from Judithan !! The "click to touch" mechanic was such a smart way to tell the story and the suspenseful ambiance still pulls you in immediately. A quick, spooky game for anyone interested <:
SOBS thank you ;w;
horror isnt my strong suit so I'm rly glad u like it nwn <3
