How does your game fit the theme?
Our main theme is hide-and-seek, a popular children's game in which one person counts down to zero and then tries to find the others that are hidden. Our twist is that this time, the one counting is an entity you shouldn't be playing with, and the cost of being found might be your life.

I loved it!!!
Such an eerie and spooky game, If I can give some suggestion maybe that there's no consequences for hiding, And you can just Hide any time. Regardless such a creepy and fun game.
thanks for the feedback! We’ll work on it
Very creative and a lot of fun! I liked the art style and the spooky music! 💀
I love the narrative interpretation of the theme. Very creepy house! And sad we won't find out what's behind the boarded up doors :(. To be honest, the tension was mostly lost for me by the third time I had to hide, especially because there are so many places to hide that I never felt truly in danger. Great game!
I love the game, it really scared me, but it was fun hah
Really cool horror game. I like how it does darkness but in 2d, it is a very innovative way to show darkness with that dark circle thing.
Brilliant horror game. One of the best games of this jam for sure. I enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you so so much!! You made us all very happy with your comment hahaha
The ambience and art style are so well done! I was always on edge even when the monster didn't come yet
I really love the art in both the gameplay and the cutscenes. Music and sound effects help with the atmosphere. Simple but fun and spooky. I liked exploring the house and trying to collect the candles for the pentagram while hiding from the monster. Great job!
Excellent take on the theme! I escaped, by the way :D
Really love the art and intro. Great job :D
Nice horror game, it was quite easy because of all the hideouts available
I enjoyed the game, like the art work. It was simple yet made me want to explore more. Definitely has potentially for adding more content in the future! The atmosphere was great too
Very well done for the limited amount of time, and great idea to use hide-and-seek for the theme!
Perfect amount of suspense for me, and such a great monster design! Well done executing such a cohesive experience with a team in such a short time!
Amazing job <3 Cute and thrilling at the same time
Very cool art and narrative!
Great atmosphere and story telling without words. Mechanics were simple but worked well again without a need for lots of tutorials.
I thought it was really interesting. I liked the idea of having the countdown in hide and seek. The artwork is beautiful, and the music really set the vibe.
Loved the artwork and the story. Fun to play but what is the aim? I did explore the house and kept hiding. I like it!
