a nice short & self-contained game! the overall aesthetics & 2d art/CGs were great. the puzzles felt a bit confusing for those not used to rpgmaker-type ones (maybe could have a sparkle/highlight all the things you need to interact with?) but i appreciated that they were mostly simple & linear.
i did run into a bug with the trap/puzzle room where one of the nurses was still off the side of the screen (pic below) & the room was also visually overlaid on top of the main room. still, great work for a week!
I love the level of polish you have in this game. I also appreciate that you can either move with arrow keys or by simply pointing and clicking. Since it's a story game, I'll give some tips about that. Feel free to take it with a grain of salt as everyone has different preferences!
I don't think you need to hold the players hand as much when conveying the mystery of the story. You can trust the player to be curious. For example, when you find the "dont trust them" tape, I don't think it's necessary to write "don't trust who?" or anything like that because the player is already asking those questions.
I didn't fully understand why the hospital was untrusworthy/unsafe. Some cutscenes made it sound like there was something really messed up going on, but then you just... wake up and everything is normal? Perhapse I missed something in which please tell me so I can revisit it.
Overall, I had a good time. It had more content than I was expecting. I liked the art and the sound effects a lot as well. Great job!
Thank you so much for trying out my game!! And yes, I wasn’t sure if people knew how RPG Maker games were like so I thought adding clues/hints would be beneficial but I appreciate the feedback nonetheless.
As for the cutscenes, the main character is a child. It is up to your interpretation but normally, a child’s POV is 10x more scarier than reality.
Thank you again! I’m glad that you enjoyed it!!
A very intriguing story! Though I got stuck almost at the beginning — in the punishment room — and couldn’t solve the puzzle. I think I clicked everything I could, but nothing seemed to work. Maybe a few small hints would help
Hello! Thank you very much for trying out my game! The puzzle in the punishment room can be activated by interacting with the grandfather clock. The owls will move in a specific order. Once you interact with them in that order, you should be able to solve the puzzle! I was very inspired by Little Nightmares where at times there's very small hints but I will for sure try to add a clue in the future. There is a new version of the game posted at the moment so if you wish to continue and reach one of the endings, feel free to do so!
