I’m usually bad at rhythm games but this one drew me in with its gorgeous art and hauntingly emotional story.

The Grave RobberThe photos are a very fun addition, glad to see you had fun making this
The layout of the house got kinda confusing but I got the hang of it, like sometimes you go into a room and you spawn in the middle.
Love the music, I'm so bad at rhythm games but I loved this one, music is awesome + I love how you remember using music, so unique.

Anoxia: Lost WithinFantastic music! Art is also very good! Rhythm games were solid and the story, even if short, makes you feel things. Great job!

R.I.P. and TearThe artistic aesthetic & musical direction for this are very cool!
I did encounter some layering issues, but nothing that broke the game! Nicely done!

MalpracticianGreat job on the game! I adore the stylization! The mechanics tend to be a little wonky, as it becomes unclear which objects have collision and which dont, as well as the ZXC being YXC. The music games felt very off-beat and not connected to the music at all at times, though im not sure why that is. Movement of characters reminded me of movie star planet at times in the best way possible! Artistically very well done

Ghostly GumshoeThank you so much for playing our game! I understand the ZXC being YXC issue very well, since we probably have the same QWERTZ layout. I believe our programmers have the QWERTY layout though. I also believe the person that worked on the rhythm section placed the notes by hand. We plan on improving some of the concerns you have though -- in our post-jam update. So if you want to play the game after, we'd be honored to have you back.
Beautiful game with really nice visuals and small details such as the character's hair animating while they were walking! Loved the music pieces, and loved that it was a tribute of sorts - my only feedback was that I think the rhythm game parts could have more polished syncing or offsetting if that is something you guys would want to work on!
This was an interesting game, I love the visuals and the overall feel of the game, The Music as really nice and love the vibe of the game. There were few collision issues but nothing huge.
