Good storytelling!. I hope there is another ending. I have not found that out but it would be disappointing to know there is only a bad ending. Nice game nonetheless.
That was a fun game! Love the aesthetics!
Your novel style for some reason reminded me of the Gabriel Knight games! Loved the maid animation as well and how you had inside joke pictures at the wall, haha! The mini game was also a refreshing mechanic to add! Theme was spot on! super fun experience!
Congrats to the team 💪✨😊
Really great game! I loved all the dialogue, and being able to inspect the environment was great. I really enjoyed all the graphics, both the pixel art and the 3D environments. Amazing job to the team!
Really great little self-contained story! Had a lot of fun playing through it. Love the aesthetics and great choice on the music. Digging the Snatcher vibes too. It's always impressive when there's a complete story like this in a game jam game. Great job!
Interesting point&click adventure combined with an action mini game.
There could be more stuff to do up to the conclusion, but that's the scope limit of a jam game...
Quite interesting, visuals and music are working great together, the players choice are well placed, i wantet to leave the house after seeing the pictures with some man, who is doing experiments in a closed room, but at the same time i wantet to knew the story. The shooting game was a welcomed minigame. Well done, it was really fun to play
Full 5 stars on all accounts from me. I was engaged from start to finish here. Nicely done from both of you
i LOVE this type of game, and absolutely loved this! great writing too! id love a full version of this, maybe with puzzles since youre an electrician?
by the way, is this inspired by umineko in any way? it really reminded me of that!
great job!!!
Not particularly, though now that I'm thinking about it, I can see how one could be reminded of Umineko.
ahh okay haha, yeah the -SPOILERS- dead wife, portrait of said wife on the staircase, trying to bring her back, mansions aesthetic and stuff all reminded me of it
That was awesome! Had me hook line and sinker. Having the mouse on a grid was a good idea. Nice writing and artwork!
This is a complete adventure game with story, music, action mechanics and everything, a great achievement!
Good entry to the jam! Some of the options didn't work throughout the game and some didn't make sense. E.g., I think it was in the basement where one of the options was "talk" and when I clicked it, it said "there is no need to talk", which makes the option irrelevant.
The game worked fine for me otherwise, but the quit btn in the end did not work at all.
Congrats on the game!
Pretty neat game. I liked the mini-game. I'd be curious to see what a non-jam version looked like, but this was a solid entry. Good job!
Really cool intro to the game, unfortunately my game froze when I got inside the manor and it got stuck there. I couldn't go in. Would have loved to play some more. I tried reloading it but same issue.
Okay I need a bit more info from you, I have a feeling I might know what's happening. Problem is that this is only the second time it happened (that I've been made aware of), so it isn't consistent beyond it failing using the interaction menu.
-What way are you playing? (Web, Windows download, Linux download, more than one?)
-I assume you chose to enter manor, screen faded to black and then nothing?
-What kind of CPU does your system have?
- Web (I only tried web build)
- Yes after getting the option to enter manor I entered but then dialogue box was still there but dialogue vanished, same for the background, it became black.
- CPU is amd ryzen 5600
Cool art style and interesting take on the theme. The small shooter mini-game was a nice switch-up from the narrative, well done!
This is one of the best games I've played in this jam, great presentation, atmosphere, story, mechanics, music, sound effects. It was a proper game. I'd have liked to be able to choose a better ending for the main character but other than that, top notch work. A lot of work clearly went into making everything that was included in this game!
