Hey, thank you so much for the comment, it really means a lot to us!

Those 14 days were definitely pretty chaotic  :D, so it’s awesome to hear that things like the lighting, atmosphere, and the idea with the three guests stood out to you  we put a lot of focus on that.

The whole “three guests” idea actually came from a design decision, we felt like traditional checkpoints didn’t really fit this game, because we wanted players to feel the consequences of their actions. At the same time, we didn’t want to completely wipe out their progress, so this system ended up being our solution.

It ended up working so well that we even decided to name the game “3 Lifes Left”. We know it would technically be “3 Lives Left”, but choosing “Lifes” was purely an aesthetic decision... the “f” just looked better with the font we used.

Really glad you enjoyed the hotel maze  we actually reworked and improved the hotel layout a total of 4 times until it finally felt right.

Thanks again for playing and for the feedback... it really motivates us to keep going! <3

Hey, thanks a lot for the detailed feedback  we really appreciate it! Glad to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere and setting!

Regarding the story/narration: we deliberately chose not to rely too much on traditional methods like notes or journals to explain Holmes. That approach can feel a bit too direct and often turns into simple info-dumping. Instead, we tried to tell his story through environmental storytelling.

Examples of this are areas like the butcher room, the secret passages, and the dungeon — places that indirectly reveal parts of his character. We also added small details and easter eggs that give more context if players discover them. For example, the password “Clara” in the final puzzle: Clara was Holmes’ first wife and the only woman he didn’t kill, which is why the heart symbol plays a role in that puzzle.

Our goal was not to serve all information on a silver platter, but to let players piece things together themselves. That said, it’s totally fair that this can make it harder to fully understand him  we’ll definitely take that into account!

The UI feedback is also very valid: switching from “press E” to clicking will be fixed today.

Thanks again for playing and for your feedback 🙏

(Edit: now youu can interact with E and leftclick)

(O_o) are u okay ? 

Thanks for playing <3

Thank you so much for your feedback really glad you enjoyed the scares :)

And yeah… the enemy might have been a bit unforgiving there...

Really happy to hear you found it entertaining and unpredictable  that’s exactly the experience we want the players to expiereince..

Thanks for playing and for your support!  <3

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback – it truly means a lot to us !
We are especially happy that the Atmosphere, tension, and puzzles resonated with you, as those were some of our main focusses.

It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that the game felt like a complete experience to you. :)

Thank you for playing and for your support! <3

Sorry to hear that :(

Since this was made during a game jam, we didn’t have much time to add proper graphics settings or optimization yet.
Could you tell me your PC specs and if it was already lagging in the main menu? That would really help us figure out what’s causing it.
Thanks for trying the game! <3

Thanks a lot, really glad you enjoyed it! <3
The darkness was actually intentional the player only sees a small area around them (about 2 meters) to make it feel more tense and disorienting.
But that’s still really valuable feedback, we might tweak it a bit to make navigation clearer.

Thank you so much! <3
We’re really happy you enjoyed both the puzzles and the jumpscares :)
It was very important for us to include short breaks between the hunting sequences , to give players a moment to breathe and recover from the tension, and to shift a bit from pure fear to more puzzle-focused thinking.

Hey Alex,
Thanks a lot, really appreciate the feedback! <3
We actually tried a few different approaches during playtesting to get that issue under control, but it either ended up creating even more confusion or made the game way too easy.

If you decide to give it another try to reach those epic end credits 👀, I’d definitely recommend paying close attention to the sound — sometimes the killer can feel farther away than he actually is.

Really glad you enjoyed it! 

Thank you so much, this really means a lot! <3
I’m really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, sound design and puzzles – and that the jumpscares worked :)

The points about the killer behavior are very valid. We actually tried to fix this during development using location tracking between the player and the killer, but that introduced new issues with direction tracking (figuring out which side the player is coming from). With more time we probably could’ve solved it, but the problem only really became obvious when the game was almost finished and we had about one day left.

About the respawn situation: the killer is never able to be directly outside your spawn room, so stepping out of a spawn room is always safe. However, one of the killer’s approach points is often nearby, which can make it sound like he’s right there, even though he isn’t. After that, it’s more up to chance where he moves.

We also tested different ways to make the encounters clearer, but they either caused more confusion or made the game too easy, so it ended up being a tricky balance.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback – it’s super helpful, especially coming from someone who made it all the way to the end! <3 <3 <3
