Really cool graphics and gameplay! I only wished there were some curtains to make rooms darker, but you managed to include a lot in the given time frame ^-^

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, we were thinking abou this but didn't find time for it :) you can put a painting on the window and it looks dark though... xD

Submitted

hahaha, fair point!

Really impressive work with this one! Both the concept and the visuals are great! It's easy to see why people love it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks :D

GOD DAMNNNN what an amazing game with a very nice and unique concept that actually works. Amazing job

Developer

Thanks :) Yhe we got very hyped about the concept. 

Ayy this game seems promising, but I can't play it whilst simultaneously streaming from the same computer for some reason. I blame myself or my computer's lack of vram in a 3090 RTX. Hopefully, I can play off-stream sometime soon.

Developer (1 edit)

aww, too bad :( 
Yhe that is weird though, 3090 has a ton of VRAM, the game has VSync on by default, might be conflicting with something. Oh well should be solved in the future if we keep working on it by implementing a proper Settings menu

Oh my goodness this was a really cool experience. Was not expecting this kind of a game to come out of the theme at all. And it is SO well made for how little time we had. The characters are really cool and just in general the visual and audio design was 👌👌
Amazing work here!

Developer

Thank you! :)

ohhh i love the little voodoo dolls!

This was neat! the ui did bug out a few ties but nothing too bad

this is really impressive for the timeframe! I'm adding this to my list to revisit after the jam I really hope you keep rolling with this!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the creepy cute art style and looove the hotel aspect, didn't run into any notable bugs. Would LOVE to see this devved into something bigger, very impressive for the time slot it was made in!!!!

Developer

Thanks a lot! We have a huge wishlist to make it bigger & better. :)

Submitted(+1)

That was a heck of a lot of fun! Never knew managing a hotel could be so entertaining XD. Oh and the first restless night was genuinely terrifying! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Cheers! We're glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

I love the art for this game! I love the horror mixed with how cute the game characters are, I love the freedom you have in the game to try different things~ well done! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Submitted(+2)

Wow, the fact you made this in such a short time is super impressive! I love management sims, and combining that with horror is such a cool idea. The concept is great, and it’s really fun designing and customizing rooms for your little doll pals,  super addictive, haha.

Only a couple small issues I noticed: at first, Windows didn’t like me downloading it directly (had to use the Itch.io client), and sometimes when I open the menu while in build mode, the UI messes up and I have to close it. Minor stuff, though!

Overall, it’s a really polished and creative game; amazing work! <3

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! :) not sure if it tried to open the pause menu when you have the build menu up.... I will look into it, thanks!

Submitted

unfortunately i cant download the game without windows going no! any suggestions?

Developer

Sound like a overly protective windows defender or if its at the download step, could be the browser?
I have had to push a lot of "Dont worry about it" buttons to windows when starting / downloading games

Submitted(+1)

a lotta people downloaded our game (not this one) and someone did have this issue~ This yt tutorial will help a lot  

use this link to fix the false error~ 

Fix: Windows Defender "There may be threats on your device" loop

Submitted(+1)

Thank you so much for the suggestion!! I’ll try it first thing in the morning!

Submitted(+1)

Love the concept for this one. This would 100% work as a full game. Amazing job!

Developer

Cheers Moose!

This game is awesome! I'm seriously impressed that this was made in just a couple of days!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted(+1)

NCREDIBLE gameplay and graphics, and the story is just fun and also the character design is THE CUTESTTT :) will def play it from time to time

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and will stay tuned for updates. :)

Really cool to see a hotel managing game! I enjoyed trying to figure out how to get the rooms right for the little people. I could not figure out Goosebumps or Paradise haha. I got to Day 11, but not sure if there is an ending.

I had a blast playing this one of the more polished games in the jam!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing that long! We're really glad you enjoyed it! We have so many things on the wishlist that we are adding to improve the base experience. We're also planning a more varied gameflow and adding a story in the future!

Spoiler:
Goosebumps is achieved by a quite cold and very scary room and paradise is >10 in most of the stats I think it was. :)

Submitted(+2)

Amazing game! It was absolutely insane to see what you've accomplished in four days. The characters are just too cute!

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted(+1)

Amazing graphics! Rated it!

It would mean a lot if you could rate my game too! https://fernando-ferreira.itch.io/death

Developer

Thanks, yes I will check it out! 

Submitted

Thanks!

Loved the visuals and atmosphere for this, plus the dolls were super cute! I think i encountered the bug at night though so I couldn't progress, but it's a great take on the theme and I loved the presentation of everything. I think the motion blur made me a bit dizzy and I got a bit lost sometimes so a tutorial of some kind to show me what I should be looking to interact with would be good! Or maybe a hint system! 

Developer (2 edits)

Thanks for testing.  Yes some onboarding is defiantly required! I actually started modelling a phone that could ring at the start of the game where you get some introduction from a manger or something.   Yhe I would love to patch that bug away! But guess it will have to wait until after the jam is over - or I looked i general chat, I guess its allowed to patch game breaking bugs as a side uppload? i might do that then!

Submitted(+1)

The graphics are so good. A toggle to turn off the motion blur will be nice. Loved the cute dolls.

Developer

Thanks for playing, Absolutely!

The idea of hosting cute, yet equally devilish figures in a hotel is very charming. It's a great attempt to bring horror and cozy together. Also, the visuals in the game, from A to Z, look very pleasing.

Developer(+1)

Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it!
