Nice game, i can see why this is the most reviewed game in this jam. Simple, short but memorable.
Hey, thanks for taking the time for playing it and leaving a comment, much appreciated :D
Dommage, les ombrages sont un peu mal fait dans les certains coin de la pièces.
Le son est extrêmement forts mais sinon c'est un bon jeu.
Dommage que la map sois toute petite ya pas beaucoup d'endroit ou se cacher.
Y'a pas de bouton pour s'accroupir ou courir ?
Merci de ton commentaire je suis content que le jeu te plait :D Non malheuresement j'ai pas mis la mechanique de s accroupir ou courir :p
Nice game. Took me a few runs before I realised I was meant to interact with the tombs. I thought the monster was just much better at hiding in the shadows than I was. Certainly needs a UI progress bar to show the time running out, both for searching and hiding, to heighten the tension. Thanks for making.
Thanks for taking the time to play my game and for your comment, yeah I will for sure add quality of life changes to the game after the jam :) thanks for all the input, i'm glad you enjoyed the game!
You start in a dark cathedral with a flashlight… then suddenly you’re in an area with fire torches that turn off randomly, and you have no idea what you’re supposed to do. The objectives aren’t clear, and the sound design is extremely poorly balanced — way too loud and uneven, which breaks immersion instead of enhancing it.
The idea is there, but the gameplay needs to be expanded, the mechanics clarified, and the audio reworked to make the experience feel more coherent.
Ok first of all thank you for taking the time to try out my game, I know the game has its flaws but I only had 7 days to work on it, like I said before it's the first game i ever released, and the first game jam i participate in.
The problem with the fire torches that turn off randomly during daytime is because of the webGL build, if you download it and play the executable the lightning is fine, as it was in the editor when i exported it.
For the other issues you're right I should of made it more user friendly, I should of added a "press E to interact" when the player is next to the tombs.
The game is basically a game of hide and seek, during the day you seek the monster that is hiding in a random tomb, during the night it seeks you. Thank you for your constructive criticism, I will for sure fix all the points you gave me after the game jam is finished.
Loved the atmosphere and audio. Great take on hide and seek. Would love to have some sort of UI to see what was intractable, and maybe a countdown to know when to hide.
Are you supposed to move around at night to different spots? I stayed put and got eaten every time. I do taste good, so couldn't be helped.
Great job!
Hey there, thanks for trying out my game i am happy you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the tips, I noted them so I can apply them to the game, you're absolutely right that it needs more user friendly interfaces :)
The monster is quite a foodie, he says we taste like burgers xD
After that, I feel like I should just NOT be searching for anything! Im just gonna hide. thanks.
Hahaha :)
Nice game! nice atmosphere!! i would like a small alert when it is getting dark! so can have the time to hide!! i get surprised from the monster when finds me!! Great job some small fixes and will be amazing!!
Thank you for your comment and for trying out my game! Yes you are right I really need to add some quality of life updates so it makes it easier for the players to know what is happening, thanks for the feedback , i am glad you enjoyed my game and the atmosphere :D
Holy jump scare Batman! Good atmosphere and great use of the Dark Fantasy pack. It wasn't clear to me what was and wasn't interactable so maybe a highlight or something there could help. The monster was scary as heck!
Hello, thank you for your comment and for trying out my game! Yes you are right I should of added a highlight or a "E to interact button" to make it easier for playing to know what they can interact with, my fault there :P Thanks for the compliments i'm really happy you enjoyed :)
Good game, is there a way to win though? I managed to avoid the monster for a few minutes but nothing ever happened and eventually he got me.
Hey, thank you for playing, and yes there is a way to win, you have to survive 6 nights, each night you survive the nights get longer and the days get shorter , which makes it harder to survive the nights :P
Cool game! :)
Thank you :)
i havent played the game, but i know its awesome.
Haha thank you my friend but I hope you get the chance to play it :) thanks for the support
Very good game. Bravo my friend :)
Thank you so much my friend :)
Amazing job bro! Loved the game 👌
Thanks brother for testing and enjoying my game :)
My bro did an amazing job! Congratz 💪
Thank you my brother :D Thanks for checking my game out and the support, much appreciated!
Gave me a good scare! Didn't know the tombs were interactable until I read some comments, then it made more sense xD. Anyways good job mate!
Thank you my friend, yeah one of my friends told me when testing that i should of added a "press E to interact" text xD i'll add it after the game jam is finished :p
Amazing! Great job 👏
Thank you very much :)
I really liked this! Good old school horror vibes. I didn't realize the tombs were interactable at first and the monster also spawned next to an empty tomb. Great job!
Thank you very much ! That's what I wanted when i first started making the game, for it to feel oldschool like the Amnesia game, yeah I probably should of added a "E to interact" button like my friend told me after he tested out the game :P thank you very much for playing and for your comment, also here's a little hint, the creature has a chance of finding you in the tomb you're hiding, it's not a 100% chance , so you might be lucky that he wont inspect the tomb you're hiding in! And yes the monster spawns at random near a tomb
it's really hard to believe that this was your first game jam! Brilliant job!
Thank you very much, yes is it my first game, I have been working on a game for like 6 months now, but i get quite ambitious for the skills i currently have so it takes time haha, i'm glad Synty studios makes assets for us, it really helps me focus on programming :) Thank you for trying out my game and for your comment :)
This is some pretty good Horror Game , almost brown my pants !! . Give it a try .
yea leaning closer to my monitor when it got dark wasn't my best decision today haha - well done on your game submission!
Haha, thank you very much for trying out my game and for your comment, the monster is quite scary :p
