The artstyle is adorable! I also appreciate all the polish that has been done, It's sometimes hard to notice by itself, but all together really makes a game feel complete! The humoristic touches near the end are also quite welcome!

Developer

Thank you! That's all great to hear :) thank you for playing and I'm glad you liked it!

What a lovely little game - the assets are just gorgeous. I especially loved the detail when the ghosts lay to rest the candles light up, this is very atmospheric and cozy. The game is very polished and smooth and felt very rounded and complete - I enjoyed picking the grave for the lady from marketing who wanted to leave the city :) I can relate. It was also nice right at the end for the final ghost to just say " I like bats! " perfect and then for the game to self destruct. Very nice piece, thanks for sharing

Developer

Thank you so much for the elaborate feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it and also liked the characters of the ghosts. Cheers!

I REALLY loved the song for this game! Combined with the peak dialogue from the ghost, I really enjoyed it. I love the ghost that doesn't even remember who she is or how she died.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! I really like the song too (but not make it myself unfortunately). Im glad you liked the dialogue! Thanks for playing!

I would love to play, unfortunately the .zip wouldn't extract because of "no permission" Then it got removed because it was flagged as a trojan by windows defender. I don't know how you fix that, but I wish I could play!

Developer

Hi, that's sad to hear! I noticed that on my other computer it throws the same false positive. I've also noticed that other jam games get flagged with the same false trojan horse trigger, I have no idea what causes this!

Hi, the screenshots look nice, I like the visual effects. But I am unable to give any genuine rating, since I can't play this on Linux. Consider a HTML5 build next time :)

Hi, thanks for the kind words and feedback. I tried building for WegGL last minute, but the itch page didn't recognize the .html file and it was way too close to the deadline to fix - would have loved a web build for sure :> Hope you can give it a try if I get a web build up after the jam!

Sure, would love to. Make sure to ping me when you do!

I love the personality of each little ghost! Great job on all the modeling and animation work, it looks so cool! It’s a short story, but really fun to follow hehe! My favorite character is definitely Micheal <3
I like bats.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I really tried to go for a smooth and rounded 3d style so I'm glad it's appreciated. I also don't do much writing so I'm glad you liked the personalities. Michael is my favourite too, he just does his thing. Thanks for playing!

the self destruct joke really got me haha, I laughed so hard, thank you for that <3 

Developer(+1)

Hahah I'm really glad you liked that joke, I hoped it would be funny. Thanks for playing!!

Suuuper cute visual, the ghosts personalities are so sweet <3 Good job! :>

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked that part because I usually don't do a lot of writing so it was a bit of an experiment :) Thx for playing!

This is probably the cutest and most stylish 3D game on this jam! The idea of putting ghosts in graves is also really cool :)

Developer(+1)

Aww thank you :> I appreciate it. Thanks for playing!

This was very cute! It might have been nice for elements in the ghosts' stories to be related to the graves they were looking for to tie it all together. Lovely game and graphics overall :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! That's a great suggestion, I was rather rushed in coming up with the dialogue but that would have been great. Thx for playing!

The graphics are really nice and the story of each ghost is cool. My game is also about bringing ghost to their home so really like the idea. The shader for the ghosts is simple and cool. Nice game !

Developer

Thank you! I'll be sure to play your game as well, it looks very cozy!
