Short but scary! The jumpscare and chase could be a little scarier, but her movement around the map and how being careful I had to be while looking around for the items made me very paranoid and tense.
You nailed the graphic style, it looks great. The sound design was also really good, wish there were more audio elements but still great as well.
I feel it was impossible to escape if you were being chased already, when far from the bell at least, but maybe I'm just bad lol.
Awesome submission and good job!
Incredible visual style and a wonderfully eerie atmosphere :)
Really nice, properly spooky game! I'm not sure the bell worked (or maybe the stun time is very low?), as I rang it, turned around and was immediately caught. But it made me scream so awesome job fitting the theme :D
Wow, this was so scary lol but really great game, nice work! The sound design really gave me the creeps haha
Really scared me lol. Everything is great and feels polished. The camera movement feels weird sometimes, though, like I cannot turn 360 degrees on some occasion, but overall, really enjoy this one, despite never beat it.
i like it
Really Like The Aesthetics, And This Game Actually Was A Bit Spooky With Some Good Gameplay. The Head Tilt When The Witch Sees You Is Awesome. Would Love To See A Full Game In This Style With More Narrative And Horror Elements.
You managed to do something here that many game developers try at without success. Congratulations.
Amazing work here! It took me a moment to understand the witch's mechanics, but after that the game was very fair and fun to play!
Keep up the good work!
This was a pretty solid game!
The art direction and use of the PS1 vertex shader add to the experience. I can't say the jumpscare got me, but the game's atmosphere did keep me on edge, despite there not being much besides the swamp ambience. Having the ability to stun her when she chases you is a great addition -- it makes you feel like you actually have a chance once the sequence starts and you're close enough to a bell. Thankfully, I never had to use it much.
Great job on this submission!
Nice vibes! The jumpscare got me good, though I'm not sure why I got caught (I stunned the witch near the well and sprinted, but got caught at the door). The visuals are really good!
