How does your game fit the theme?
You literally start a cult (but something goes wrong)

Thank you everyone for playing! Thank you for all for the feedback!
I thought it was going to be a cult of the lamb by just watching the thumbnail . The concept of the game is interesting , looking for stuff around. Maybe because i have a rather good performance PC , i dont think the lag is as bad as people in the comments says , but the lag does exists. Fixing the lag would improve the game by like 200%
Thank you so much for playing
Took a few minutes to load but was worth the wait! seemed similar to a slenderman style search for the clues! loved the concept, i really wish i could turn 360 degrees seemed my mouse was locked in around 180 degrees and had a hard time navigating, but when i found the priest the demon caught up to me while i was reading the cut scene due to his teleport - would be nice if talking to priest froze the demons movements for a bit, otherwise loved the idea matching the theme, keep building on it!
Thank you so much for checking the game!
I made him despawn on PC version, couldn't reupload the web-version :(
Not playable on browser due to lag :( sad because it does look cool!
Yeah, sadly the web version doesn't run on every machine. Try out Windows exe version if you'd like to
Nice premise! ✨
Unfortunately tho, even when I download the game is still a laggy mess, most people in the comments have already express my concerns, so there's not much I could add, just focus on ironing out the major issues.
As a fellow newbie, congratulation on finishing your first game!
it was very laggy at the beggining but i let it load for like 5 minutes and it worked properly
i liked the vibes and the topic reminded me of cult of the lamb, good job!
The aesthetic is really nice with this entry! I had trouble with loading times and lag spikes which made playing the game as intended quite challenging. So unfortunately I was not able to finish :(
Wow the graphics for this game are really good, like it's all stylized very nicely. This game was short and sweet, for the feedback: Yes like you mentioned the loading time really is a thing haha. At first my cursor would just drift and fullscreen didn't work but eventually it did. I think you could improv this game by making it so you can't die while tallking to the priest (unless you want it that way). Also I was lucky enough to sete and follow the path to the priest but otherwise it would have been quite frustrating to run around, so maybe some more hints? I also think making the game darker and having some music could help enhance the feel. Really solid game though all in all.
Interesting take on the game jame theme. Also love the 3d pixel art hybrid, looks so good. Got a few lag spikes here and there but its still playable. Also it was pretty easy to outrun the demon as long as i hold down shift. i think adding a stamina bar would make it more challenging. Also congrats on your first game jam submission!
fairly laggy on browser, cursor drift which is likely caused due to the lag makes full screen unplayable. If you are making open world type games I'd recommend having a load system in place as everything being loaded at once isn't ideal. died after talking to the priest don't know, is much after that or not. I'd recommend having the demon stop when you are in dialogue or something. unless there is reasons for it later that I didn't get to, It doesn't feel like this game needs to be a 3d open world game, this game could probably work better as a 2d top down game
Really interesting graphics. I always get killed when talking with the priest. and talk to him without triggering the ritual seems to be just a normal greeting. Did i miss something?
Thanks for suggesting, thats an oversight from my end.
During my play testing I just spammed the spacebar
The presentation is beautiful - sadly i couldn't find the priest.
I noticed a cursor drift - don't know if this is intentional or was bugged in combination with web-player.
But the loading time really is ...something
Yeah, appologies for loadtimes, I tried to preload the scene during titles, but that didn't help much.
First time making something open world.
(The priest can be found if you follow the road, there is a sign)
