You know, being vulnerable in the dark while getting chased is already horrifying enough, but needing to crank the flashlight to keep it from fading out makes it even scarier. Solid game!

Nice!

A very well-made horror game. I think the atmosphere is pretty good, and the sound effects complement the gameplay really well.

It was a Pretty scary experience. I love horror games and this is a good horror game in general. Althoug my only complain would be that you should optimise this game more as there was some lag on my device. Anyway, overall it was a great game.

Hey dude, i havent rated yet, im still in spawn and i cant for the life of me leave the circle, the stupid lamp stays on for 5 seconds at a time, and the moment i cranked it i start hearing the stupid monkey screams. this is horrifying

Submitted(+1)

im sorry , im so sorry but i cant leave. i can see the effort in the game so dont worry about the rating, but im a big wuss i cant do this ;-;

Developer

Awh, I’m sorry- yeah the lamp not staying on for long is an issue we wish we could’ve fixed before release, but I’m glad you at least tried!

ty for the rating as well <3

Great visuals and sounds,extremly enjoyable but it is not the most creative( i mean about the spinning mechanic) but still one of the best game in this jam,kudos!

I really liked it a lot, but the sound emission bug is pretty dire

Great horror game! It looks really good visually. Great job!

Wow! Great! I wasn't expecting to really be scared, but turned out I was wrong) Visuals somewhat reminded me of "Return of the Obra dinn". The on;y problem was with text being hard to read in tutorial if not up close, but it is just one small detail. Everything else is great

Though I'm not a huge fan of horror games, I still thought this was really well executed and very impressive! Don't have much to say other than I think you had a vision and fulfilled it.

Okay, well, it is a really good game. Really enjoyed the vibe. I want the battery to hold a little longer, but that is just personal taste.

This game is TERRIFYING. Bravo. Here is my breakdown:

*Graphics

The graphics look amazing, the style is perfect for this type of game. The real star of the show here is the color banding though. Everything blends together to create this eerie, atmospheric darkness. This also helps the player identify the stalkers eyes in the darkness. The sound indicator is also a really helpful tool, I am glad it is included. The monkeys look very scary (even if they do not have fingers)

*Audio

The sounds are perfect. Simply perfect. They serve to create tension and also are closely tied to gameplay.  I could tell the 2 normal monkeys apart, and the branch breaking sound for the third is at a good volume where it is identifiable but not too in your face.

*Design

All the mechanics in this game are closely designed together. It requires quick thinking and engaging with all the info you have been given. I will say though, the crank being the only spinny thing is a little disappointing, I do wish the jam theme was more directly involved. I also got lost a lot. If this was intentional, great, but more often than not I felt frustrated because I wanted a map so I could know where I was. 

Overall this game is an absolute thrilling experience, scary monkey.

One of the best quality games of this jam. Its terrifying and so creative, the whole vibe freaks me out and the monkeys are goddamn terrifying. It’s super hard but that makes any bit of completion that much more satisfying. I also got lost a bit, maybe a skill issue of my directional skills. 10/10 would never play again

Developer

Hahaha Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it and were terrified :) <3

Really hard but also really good! Loved the atmopshere and the different enemies. Lots of fun!

This is really cool! LOVED the graphics. It was a bit hard sometimes to know when a monkey was coming (even though I know that's sorta the point). I thought the crank mechanic was really great! Amazing for seven days :)
