Great game! The visuals, music, and atmosphere—it has it all. And then, the puzzle game suddenly turns into a typing trainer.

man so good...you have done such an awesome job..visuals are so good..i loved every moment of the game..game is also very polished and has a lot in it..puzzles and cutscenes and everything...great work!!
Very fun game, super polished (I love how the little character portrait looks around with your mouse)
As someone who doesn't really like point and click adventure games I got a little irritated at some stuff like the spot under the chair, but I suppose clicking everywhere is kinda part of the genre. I loved the artstyle, the cutscenes having so many drawings was pretty impressive and I ADORE the typing minigame as a way of gamifying an exorcism like that's so creative I love it!!! (speaking of, the main ghost is terrifying, doll was too)
That rotary dial puzzle was evil tho, would not have gotten it without broken_joystick's plea because I just kept ramming my head against the wall with the paper's numbers lol. Funny aside but who keeps a sledgehammer in the toilet, that got a chuckle from me.
All in all great work, you could probably release this or something similar on Steam for a pretty penny :D
Fantastic game! I absolutely love the atmosphere and the mechanic of banishing evil spirits.
HOWEVER, the game is way too difficult. While I managed to crack the safe, the wall telephone has me completely stuck. I need to find the very last key, and the only items left in my inventory are a crowbar, 3 notes, and some grease. I don’t know the telephone code, I can’t tell if the radio is even working at all, and I need to do something with the toilet. I’ve clicked on absolutely everything and am completely stuck.
I really enjoy your game, could you please help me out? I’d love to find out how the story ends.
Thanks so much for playing! We're really glad you enjoyed the game!
For the phone puzzle, here's a little hint: try comparing the rotary dial on the phone with the marks on the wall above the radio. They go together and should help you figure out the code.
Good luck! We hope you make it to the end and enjoy the rest of the story. :)
