Well done! I really liked the story, and the visual effects were a great touch (even if a little overpowering). One thing I feel could be improved is the ambience and sound design, as it does feel a bit quiet. Otherwise, really nice job!

“The End”

Great game! I really liked the atmosphere and the art style, both were very well done. Adding more sound effects could really enhance the atmosphere you’ve already built.

The story was also well written, and I enjoyed it overall. My only issue was that it became a bit confusing switching between so many different characters. There were moments where I wasn’t sure who I was playing as.

I didn’t encounter any major bugs, but I did notice that some triggers didn’t activate consistently. For a few events, I had to walk back and forth multiple times to get them to trigger.

Overall, great work!

Thank you very much for playing!!!! Ya absence of sfx is really noticeable when playing, I really wanted to add a lot more sound effects but i unfortunately ran out of time :/ About the story part, I totally get that it can be a bit confusing 😭Because I had planned on a big story but had little time to interpret that, which led to a fast paced storyline which leads to these small confusions. Again thank you very much for playing and the constructive criticism!!

Great job!

I liked the atmosphere a lot!

I didn’t get to play much of it though because it kept freezing and I had to restart the game every time, but I did really like the atmosphere and story from what I got.

Great game!

Also if you could I would really appreciate it if you could give some feedback on my game too :)

Developer

Ayy thank you very much for playingg!! About the freeze thingy, im not sure :/ i dont think anyone else had this issue in the BUGFIXED zip file, I guess you downloaded the other one, and suree I'll rate your game 🩷🩷

Submitted

You were right!

I did download the wrong file, but I downloaded the right one and played it again this time there were no freezes!

I really liked the atmosphere and transitions to the next act. I also liked the pixel shaders those were really cool, I got the full story this time and that was also really good I liked how  I could play as the killer in some parts.

The main issues were that a lot of objects don't have collision and I think it could use more sounds especially some ambient sounds.

Overall great game! :)

The pixelated aesthetic of the 3D models looks impressive, and one thing that can be a point for or against it depending on how you see it is that it feels like a big game, not like a short jam game but like something with a big story, and you can tell that the base game is good enough to make it bigger.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for playing!!! I wanted the story and the atmosphere to be the main highlight of the game, At first the game was supposed to be shorter but the act 3 wasn't really emotionally moving in my opinion 😭 so I added some more stuff before it so that the build up to act 3 is better but probably that made the game feel like a big story.

Oh! This game is really my thing, especially the art style and the dialogue. The creepy, uncanny atmosphere is really well done. Great work, GG ❤️

Developer

Thank you soo much for playing!!!

Submitted(+1)

damnnn so much dialogue is created and I really like it to be separated into different acts, it really helps with the build up.  good job on creating the environment and the mechanics! one thing I would say is to add background white noise or more sfx!

Developer(+1)

Ya, I really wanted to add more sfx but i ran out of time, that really sucks 😭😭Thank you very much for playing my gamee!!!

Very nice art, and the story the pacing was really good.

I had some bugs with the game, and I don't know why. It froze after the doorbell rang and the family talked after that, I couldn't do anything or move. It only unfreezes after I close it and open it up again some times. 

When I had to find the shovel, I got in front of the house and triggered Act 1 again, and it froze once more.

Really like this game, i love the story! I CAN CONDIRM YOU ARE 100% asian, BECAUSE of HOW the mom scolded the girl when she asked about family lol! i think the game was sometimes too pixelated, and there was no collision with most of the objects, but i really like the dialogue system, its epic, and yea

Overall, GOOD JOB!

And could you rate my game too please?

Developer

Thank you very muchh!! YES I AM AN ASIAN LOL. Ya the pixelation was a lot sometimes but I was trying to show with the pixelation that how deranged a serial killer sees this society, but I guess the motive behind that wasn't properly expressed. And ya I'm done rating your game Tysm. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

I like the story a lot! Tho it's a bit too pixelated, But I'm rating this a 6.5/10!

Developer

Thank you very much!! I wanted the story to be the main focus of this game. I chose the pixelated theme for a more retro look but yeah might be a bit too much for some people :(

i like  the  enverment feel horror

Thank you!!!
