I absolutely loved the style/visuals of this game and the ghosts were so cute!! The mechanic of needing to switch back and forth from being a ghost was also really cool. I definitely enjoyed playing this game 😊

Having been married for over 16 years now, I really felt that final walk out from the graveyard. Fun game with great story telling! The bickering couple were my favorite ghosts! Great job!

Thanks for previously checking out my game, 9 Lives!

I'm glad you think that I made that walk out impactful to the story, and I'm glad you have some favorite ghosts!

Thank you for the kind words in the review! It was fun checking out your game, you're welcome :)

Nice game! I loved the detector mechanic and the switch between realms, good ambience, great job!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :D

I like this one! The couple arguing was funny, and I really like Stanley. The mechanic of becoming a ghost was really cool too, this was fun to play!

Developer

I like the couple too, personally Sven is my favorite ghost. I'm glad you liked the game and its mechanics!

Developer

This was so lovely! I love it, the music choices felt spot on and the aesthetic was spot on too!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I literally looked up "Halloween" in the YouTube Studio section and went through a few songs until I found what I used. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Really loved the vibe of this game! Very nice visual style and I love the design of the ghosts and all their face expressions! The mechanic of switching realms is really cool as well, plus the animation for it is really stylish too! The dialogue is very charming and got a few chuckles out of me lol. I really liked how wholesome it was at the end too :D

The only issue is sensitivity as others have mentioned. Otherwise a really solid game, awesome work!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it! A lot of people like the ghosts and I'm happy people feel like they have their own personalities and such. Yeah the sensitivity issue is an easy fix but alas I can't fix that since we're in the rating stage. I would like to make a post jam version with a lot of these fixes to make the game a bit more accessible and easier to play.

I appreciate the comment, thank you!

Cool game, it was a bit confusing for me to navigate in, but I also have a terrible sense of direction. Great work!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah the biggest issues seem to be navigation, understanding of mechanics, and the mouse sensitivity. Hopefully that can all be fixed at a later date when the jam ends to be a more streamlined experience.

Very nice game! Finished it and liked the ending and how it ties to the theme, I also like how you balanced humor into the story. I have only a few things to note, an option for mouse sensitivity would be nice, and also the sound that plays per character displayed is somewhat rough, at least it was during the silent moment in the end, other than that it was all pretty fun, and of course the concept of switching to the ghost world is very neat, there is potential in that.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! The mouse sensitivity issue is definitely one to fix, a lot of people have brought that up. The sounds of the characters talking is something I do want to expand upon by giving them their own sounds for dialogue; I used just one sound and tweaked it for everyone to save on time.


Regardless, I'm glad you see potential in the game and I'm glad you gave it a chance!

very interesting! story actually made me feel things, and the mechanic of using your wristband to find ghosts was clever! nice game! 💚

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm glad I hit you in the feels a little bit, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I really really enjoyed my time playing! As a few comments said the mouse movement was a lil fast for me so it made me a bit motion sick, but I was very intrigued so I stuck with it! Once I got a hand on the EMF reader, and the dying and coming back mechanic, the game was a joy! 

I hate to admit but I got stuck after helping Sven light all the lanterns - I couldn't find where to go from there. That said though, I loved the line "Sven just thought he had narcolepsy"! The writing is very charming!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah the objectives are a struggle point it seems, sorry about that. You were supposed to go to the crypt with the two dead trees and interact with the tombstone inside it to open the wall up to the next area that is next to that crypt. 

I'm glad you liked the writing and thank you for playing it!

TBH, the game is interesting and fun,i really like your concept here but i didn't know what to do with the left hand showing but overall it's great

Developer

Yeah I know the game needs better tutorials and stuff, I kind of threw you in there huh? The left hand is an EMF reader and it was to help you detect where the ghosts are without swapping between realms all the time and guessing where they might be. Obviously, this is info that should be in the game and conveyed to the player so I know that's something to work on.

Either way I'm glad you thought it was interesting and fun! Thank you for the feedback!

Very fun game. Enjoyed the feel to it. Great performance in the browser too. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Means a lot :)

Had a great time playing! The lantern part was a little tricky, spent some time trying to find them all, oh and the mouse sensitivity was a little too fast for me, other than that fantastic work! 

Developer(+1)

Yeah a lot of people talked about the sensitivity. I didn't have time to add options or objectives, if only we had one more day! I squeezed in just a couple hours before the deadline as is, regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

What a game, aha,  really sweet puzzle experience! The ghost designs actually reminded me of Pac-Man, which I loved.

My only issues were that it felt a bit confusing at times; I found myself running around aimlessly trying to figure out the objective, and a few puzzles I accidentally solved just by stumbling upon the right item. Also, there were moments where I got stuck and couldn’t move until I toggled ghost mode again,  not sure why, but it got a bit funky.

Besides those few bugs, this was a really fun time! I loved the visuals, music, and the overall story; it was both sweet and funny!

Developer(+1)

The ghosts having a resemblance to the ones from Pac-Man may have been subconscious haha. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!

About the issues, yes people talked about having trouble figuring out where to go or what to do at times and if I had just a little more time I would have added objective hints and streamlined the overall quest mechanic. The moments about not being able to move unless you were in ghost mode is peculiar to me; I never ran into that problem.

Regardless, I'm glad you liked the overall product and I hope I can make it better in the future :)

Very cool game! The music is superb! It really fits the vibe of the game. At the very end too is such a bittersweet message :)

Developer

Thank you! The music was the only thing I didn't make myself but I do agree that it fits the game very well. I'm glad you enjoyed the game and its story :)
