The movement speed was a bit low. I'm not a fan of all the different keys I had to press to do what should've been the same things. I do really like the background music and the aesthetic of a red sky. I was curious about what would happen next, there was definitely some mysterious and intrigue, but the movement speed was constantly reducing my willingness to continue.
What even happens in the game? I'm curious.
*spoiler* I was pretty limited in gdevelop there was a lot I couldn’t figure out/ a lot I wanted to do that I couldn’t find info on. I put the keys as Z or x and it glitched gdevelop out really bad and nothing worked so I had to make everything separate keys. And there was only 4 days / 5 counting the ending day. So I left the guy slow in hopes it’d make the game longer than like 3 minutes lol. There was 2 endings. You either go with your bride and she rips your head in half. Or you agree to take the neighbors gun and shoot her. Then you sit by your og wife’s grave and she comes back to life and drags you in the lake. Thank you for playing though
I loved the idea; it's very creative.
It's a very simple game, but I was genuinely hooked! There's something so sinister about "building" your wife back, piece by piece with parts you found in the water. I also enjoyed the neighbours monologues changing every time I visited the lake. The simple MS paint-type artstyle makes the whole experience even weirder and creepier. The movement could be a bit faster, but that was really my only issue. I got the neighbour ending and I didn't expect it to be so dark. Great job, especially if it's only your second game ever.
Played and beat it. I got the wife ending. Nice touch with the gruesome details in the graphics. Only complaint I have is the lack of anything to do but to walk back and forth, and also just how slow I was in general. Understood if it was for pacing purposes, but I just wanted to mention it. This was cool!
Thanks buddy. I agree with you. This was a big learning experience for me I’ll definitely take it with me to my next game.
