Cool concept. I appreciate the ability to adjust mouse sensitivity!
It was nice to read all the info on each furniture, though the master bathroom was in a sorry state haha. The worldbuilding with the diary pages was nice.
I found a key in the dresser but it didn't go to any door? (Expected it to go to the lounge or the hall door)
Would have been nice if there was bgm.
The framerate got a little choppy but not too bad.
Nice ambient, works really well with headphones. The hidden key may be too hard for some to figure. A little UI icon on the interactable objects would help, but would also break immersion a little. After played the entire game, this game seems fine. I like the environment, and the story.
such nice atmosphere and visuals. I can't stress this enough but I love the vsuals of this game and even though I couldn't find a way to open any door I can appreciate the effort put into it. I have only 1 gripe with this game and it's the fact that our character walks too slowlystaggering the overall fun of the game imo. except from that it's a perfectly fine horror game I can't believe you guys made this in 10 days congrats!
Thanks for playing. Normally I work in a duo, but we decided to do our own games for this Jam. So this was a completely solo effort. I’ve since made a change to the game to not require the looking into the bath to be able to get the study key. I really hope you and the others who missed the key are able to come back an experience the ending, as it really ramps up.
My best friend also developed a game for this jam, 3:46am. I recommend it highly
Really liked the atmosphere! Wish more of the house was available to explore and there were more things and items to interact with. Maybe you could split the current diary entries into multiple separate pages you can find, each with only one dated entry and one paragraph, making it feel more expansive and have more of a buildup with same amount of writing. I also completely missed the look mechanic at the start and got stuck at the same place as others but figured it out from the other comments. Overall it was a fun experience!
I’m currently working on the VR version which I’ll look to incorporate all these suggestions. Which I’ll then backport into the post jam version.
Once I had put all the basic parts that were required, I spent so much time getting the audio and a few bugs fixed up that I ran out of time to add more interactables and places to investigate.
Ah got it! Thanks. I'm not used to look/interact in games. To me I just end up thinking "oh I'll see if left or right click does the thing I want to do on this object" haha. I know it's big in these games though, so no judgment! Finished the game and I liked how it was getting pretty creepy by the end. Nice work!
Ah, this was great! I loved the story you told through the environment design, but I wished there was a little more house to explore to further draw out the tension and build up more of the backstory along the way. I'd also be curious to see how your game would play differently if there was only an "interact" mechanic. I found the separate "look" and "interact" mechanics to be a little confusing as the responses for both were often similar, even to the point where I got stuck early on in the game because it didn't seem like the "look" mechanic was worth using (thanks for the hint to unblock here btw).
I had planned more but 10 days was more limiting than I expected. I get your point about looking and using. I’ll see how simplifying feels. I come from a very point and click heavy childhood so looking and using is what I expect.
Thanks so much for playing and the feedback.
And as for the hint… anytime (but you shouldn’t have needed it if I had actually telegraphed it better.)
Can't we walk any faster in the game? Because walking this slow makes it even scarier to play :)
Really well done! Great atmosphere and a really good job of building tension for a short game.
Could barely play the game, because the atmosphere was so good, I was ready to jump!
Only thing would be a mouse sensitivity slider.
