it will be nice to be developed more fully, and with more options. liked the atmosphere, and the graphics! :)
Nice game. I think what makes this scary is that the character felt so powerless against shadows and in the end they would be there waiting for her.
Good job on the Spooktober jam!
Hey, thank you for your gamplay footage in behalf of the team. Very entertaining to watch. I actually quite like that particular CG too!
The art style and sounds really do a good job of creating a haunting, anxious atmosphere.
Had a minor issue with the running gameplay specifically when it wanted me to press A (Doing so brought up the accessibility menu for renpy) so that may need to be changed in the future?
Oh shoot, I think you're right. That's something we should adress. Thank for your gameplay footage. It means a lot!
Really nice short story with some eerie music and some really well-used sound effects. There's also a lot of art in this one, and the art helps enhance the atmosphere a lot! The faceless mannequin look of all the characters only serves to make everything seem that much creepier.
I had fun going back through it multiple times to get all of the endings! It was an enjoyable experience, and very suitably spooky!
You noticed that? cool! we ended up working with time limitations and making the most out of the art we could produce in time and faceless mannequin was one of our first design choices. I think it paid off.
Thanks for playing in behalf of the team!
The game reproduces the feeling of helplessness and isolation when you're overwhelmed by paranoid thoughts well. I especially liked the girlfriend route because it really played on my emotions.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for playing an for your feedback!
