Hey Y'all, we are aware of two big issues with the game that we were unable to resolve before the bug fix period, sorry for the issues and we will fix them when we can!
- dragging and dropping can overwrite items in the inventory if you're not careful (though the items do respawn!)
- it's not super clear that pressing 'f' closes zoom-in screens, if you are stuck, make sure to try hitting either f or e!

I'll have to come back to this one. It's not super clear what I'm supposed to be doing, I've been walking from room to room for past 5 minutes and it's getting a bit frustrating...
The art and music are really good. I'm not sure if you've made it since there's no credits section, but if you did, that's awesome
We did make all the art and music! We do have a credits page, but not from the menu!
I don't understand anything, but it's very interesting and scary.
Interesting!! Eerie soundtrack and constricted light. I can see the FAITH inspiration, expect there’s a slow burn kind of horror over here. Had a bit of trouble with identifying what to do though as there weren’t many cues, but nevertheless, well-made game.
Sick!
Feels like its a game, but I have no idea what to do, and seems like others are stuck as well. I really wanted to continue as the art is wonderful, but as you'll see from the stream my frustration overcame my patience.
Okay, candle on ritual, fine. Matches on ritual, fine. But then, teddy bear goes where? Locket says bear and knife go together?
:cold as ice" seems like theres a pick-upable item, but I cant !? Is this the game breaking bug? Am I a loser/skill error gamer!?
I had fun trying to figure it out and enjoyed all the art. Hopefully there's something I missed, excited to try again soon, thanks for submitting!
The sound design is truly that made me go back and play it again.
Thank you! Yeah our audio team are awesome, they are Jazzberry-Jam and deadguydylan!
The art is really nice. I really like the dithering effect in the dark areas. And that weird meat floor in the back was pretty cool.
I couldn't figure out what to do after lighting the candle and getting the locket sadly.
But the theme and esthetics are really good here!
There is a lot of art made for this game, really nice too. Love the shadow effect.
Wasn't able to finish the game, got to a point where I wasn't sure what to do after getting the locket with the knife and bear. I think I was missing something for the ritual perhaps?
Its a pretty impressive project, in spite of the bugs, you have made a lot here. Seems like there is a lot more that I might of missed. I think the aesthetic is really solid
There is definitely a bunch of issues on being unclear with how you can interact (with drag-able interactions) and locked doors (not clear when locked and unlocked) and environments like the guts in the back. That said this is a cool ambitious project for a one week jam I really like the pixel art & music, definitely up my alley it's just frustrating that bugs and communication issues got in the way of that. If this gets updated I would like to see what an expanded game on this idea is like, also I recorded my experience (sorry at certain points I get pretty frustrated) but it may help you identify issues:
Good game, I liked the art style. It took me a while to understand what I had to do, but now that I've done everything, I was able to finish it again faster.
I wish the game was downloadable; it seems like the browser makes the visuals a bit worse because of the game's shader, which made it difficult to see some objects on the map (I don't know if it's actually a shader, but it looks like one).
Or maybe it's just my browser that's causing this problem, I don't know.
Anyway, it's a good game and I want to see how it will look after you fix the bugs. Good job!
This is very good, I loved the item highlight and the interactive menu.
The controls are a bit hard to figure out but it is manageable.
I got to the end kinda quickly after I figured out the controls
Good job making this in such a short time! It has a lot of things in it.
Good luck!
I dig the atmosphere and the visual style. Sadly, I got stuck when I picked up matches (or something of the sort) and couldn't exit the screen that popped up.
Heya Oskar! Pressing F when you get to that screen will close it! Sorry if that wasn't clear. We intended to make a tutorial but weren't able to with the one week constraint!
Welp i try my best. But still not able to beat the game yet.
Fascinating game! The art style is phenominal, and the music by itself really had me on edge, I was unable to beat the game, I think I was missing one item from the ritual maybe?
In any case, I did come across a few interesting bugs!
Bug number one!: In that area with the fleshy stuff and where you get the totem with the eye on it? Well to get it you move those flesh things and stuff, I noticed that you can keep resetting the puzzle after completion by making a purposeful mistake, after which you can beat the puzzle again and get another totem, infinitely.
Bug number two!: Not wholly sure how this one happened, but it was at the ritual circle where I had the bear, candle and totem placed and was unsure where to go from here, I clicked and dragged the bear across the screen and that seemed to jump me straight into a settings menu, from there when I clicked main menu, and then clicked play, I was at game start, WITH all my items in my inventory and with this peculiar encounter when I investigated the ritual circle again:
and lastly bug number three!: After collecting items from places, the E clue popup still appears where they once were, kinda misleading!
Other than that, this was an amazing and fun game, I'm definitely going to try my hand and beat it sometime!
Heya yeah unfortunately there are still some bugs, but thanks for being so thorough with the review! I haven't seen that second bug, thanks for calling it out, I'll make sure to get on that once we're done with the voting period!
que onda? me re gustaron los graficos, la musica (me hizo acordar a Obscure de playstation 2), y la tematica de armar el ritual en un casa re rara. lo que si no entendi como usar la lampara, pero si pude completar el ritual. me encanto todas la mecanicas que le pusieron en tan poco tiempo, como el inventario que podes arrastrar e intectuar con las cosas
I beat the game!! The atmosphere and vibes were immaculate. It was clever and engaging seeing the room layouts change each time I reentered them, and whenever I unlocked a new room, I was genuinely taken aback by the visceral horror and storytelling! Plus, the dialogue really made me feel like I was in the character's shoes and kept me immersed all the way through!!
I loved everything about your game, great idea, mechanics, sounds. Congrats :)
Such a great concept! I liked the use of the inventory and the idea of having the lamp on the screen while it's in use is very fun. The art and sound design definitely captured the spooky vibe. I ran into the same problem as Nekorai, but had a great time with the game regardless.
Hey unfortunately we weren't able to get to that bug before the bug fixing period ended, we had too many to fix! Should be fixed once we're done with the voting period.
The game looks fantastic! The only problem was the input.
For one week, great work!
The style is so unique for a jam game, I love it. I mean the isometric view. The atmosphere and writing is super cool. I wasn’t really able to solve any puzzles, I accidentally triggered a bug where I merge items into one. I tried to combine two items and then one was gone. But despite that, the presentation is already so good, I had a good time :) Great game!

I keep erasing item from inventory by draging item onto another. Beside that bug great entry.
