Anything else you would like us to know?

We also built our shaders from scratch emulating the PS1 aesthetic with the vertex snapping and the old style shading inside of unity.

I really like the graphics of the game, although it lack a mouse sensitivity control and the ghost are a little to fast right at the beginning :) Great simple game !

The graphics of this game are pure ps1 style, which I really like. Controls are little wanky, and game maybe too hard, but I like the Theme implementation, and gameplay is fun despite the steeper difficulty. Great work!

Ooh a horrific main menu screen, very nice.

The atmosphere of the game is very lovely and fits the horror-themed masks nicely. The fact that PS1 graphics were used in this one is just marvelous that I wish I could blow a kiss ๐Ÿ˜˜.

The game is just simply too difficulty as the map size is very small compared to the "ghosts?" that spawn from all angles.

I love the fact that the masks are used as a way to balance the game out. It's like take the easy route, but you don't do what you normally do. Go hard, you go big but you lose the added benefit that you need to really succeed.

First playthrough was like a jump scare when all the hooded axe men ran at me. I found the best strat was sitting in a corner and shooting. When I wasnโ€™t doing that, I was fearing for my life constantly. I loved the art, very PS1 era. Good work.

Developer

Hahaha glad you enjoyed!!

This game is awesome! I love the ps1 vibes and I would love to make some tracks for you, check out the game I made the soundtrack for in this jam, and if you want and we can talk about it!

I make a lot of genres always getting a jazzy vibe like, Drum n Bass, HipHop, House, JazzFusion, ChillJazz, Vaporwave, and more, i can really adapt myself to any genre that someone tells me so i can reach whatever you need.

And here i'll put a drive folder with a lot more of my works that i didn't published (Variated Genres): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19KgjCLKw-8GhQLMzuPCeOOKMpkS4pyQK?usp=sharing
