Bro it took me a decade to find the damn telephone, lol. I would suggest that show some icon when near an interactable object.

Other than that really like the pixel art environment and charcters also loved how you implentation of the story into the gameplay loop. Very well designed gameplay. Excellent job!!

Lovely game! I found it really fitting that the music deteriorates more and more when the player gets drugged up

Great game, good job!👏

“Lethal Dose”

Great game! I was able to find everything except the forgotten will before the end. It was really engaging to walk around and reading the different dialogues. I really like the ones about the character’s relationship with their daughter, it really helps world build a bit.

The story was very well written, and the blurring of the player’s vision was a really cool way to represent memory loss and a deteriorating state. The music was also excellent, I liked how it started to break down as the days progressed.

Great game!

Me during the whole gameplay: "Where the fuck is Will?"

If anyone is looking for it, try harder :) ! Good concept, a little slow/confusing at times though. Good job!

alright, so im giving a honest review :)
I feel this game was pretty good, i mean, yea, it is fun to interact with the house props, and i love the dialogue system, but i feel when  the phone was ringing, you should have made some animation or like a glow effect so we could find it easily, cause i spent a lot of tiime looking where the telephone was, and the animations are good, but it wasnt scary at all, so yea, overall, a pretty good game
Id really appreciate if you give opinions about my game too!

edit: i couldnt find the forged will lol

I didn't find the forged will. Good atmosphere, cool gameplay. But there are bugs with the music, which is crackling.

Developer

Thanks for playing! The crackling was intended, meant to feel like bugs!

The truth is that even though the gameplay is not very entertaining, the story is very well told. It's really good that even though I only found the typewriter, regardless of what I do, I reach the end of the story, and I really felt very blind. The way the game looks and how the vision gradually diminishes is incredible. You could make a bigger game with this idea of gradually going blind like that; at least I haven't seen anything like it.

Developer

thank you for the feedback! we will try to make it more polished with the new extension : D

Developer

I really appreciate the honest and well thought out review, we will try to do something with the new deadline extension :DDD
