Finishing your graveyard chores before midnight while dreading what comes out in the dark makes for such a tense and fun horror experience!

Great aesthetic and premise! As much as I love sprinting, that may make the game as it stands too easy! I could see the timer being shorter boosting the challenge as well.  Good stuff!

Really nice ambiance and assets that set a tense atmosphere, but I managed to complete all the tasks pretty quickly and nothing tried to stop me which was kinda underwhelming. Did I miss something?

thank you, and if you didn’t do it quick enough there is a monster that comes for you, tbh I didn’t have enough time in this jam to add more, I’m going to continue to work on this game and add a lot more when the full release comes out. But thank you for playing and the feed back.

I loved the concept ! You should make it darker ! And scarier ! And maybe make the creature undo what you did to jure you 👀 Nice job !

Developer(+1)

Thank you! And I’m definitely going to make it a bit darker and scarier in future builds. The creature undoing stuff is a good idea too, hadn’t thought of that. Thank you!

game ran pretty smooth and I got the connection to the game. Kinda wish the countdown was maybe bigger and the other UI was smaller. Some of the collisions were a bit wonky too but overall a lot of fun, would play more. 

Developer

thank you and definitely agree

Really fun game, look forward to seeing more of it in the future. I think with added nights and more horror this could be fun, maybe an added progression system too. 

Developer

thank you and after the jam I plan on continuing working on the game
