I enjoyed this game. The mechanics are simple, but well executed and solid. The background music is relaxing and fits the aesthetic of the game well too. It fits the theme well with a nice interpretation on hide & seek. My main criticism would be on myself - I'm rubbish at memory games, so I still haven't managed to find all six in one go. Great job!

Glad you enjoyed it, I struggled for a bit on whether I would lower the difficulty, but I have a few in game tricks the player can do to "win" without finding all the cursed - as well as, if you are patient and observant, they will always give themselves away

I like the feel of weapons in my hands, but I couldn’t find those enemies. Then, without meaning to, I killed one of my crew members.

This was a great experience. Also a very unique take with the memorization aspect. Great job!

I loved this game. Surprisingly hard. Quite addictive. I must have played it twenty plus times already. Really nice and fun to play. I like the detail that euthanising the crew, reveals a super cursed 'Blood Moon'. Very cool. A great idea.

Nice - Glad someone found that! Thanks!

I accidentally shot one of my crew members - so I guess the curse wasn't the biggest threat) Nice interpretation of Hide & Seek!

I knew someone would, because while setting it all up I kept doing it as a joke.. then I said... wait a second haha
