I love the introduction with the recorded voice lines! I don’t know how it ties in with the game but I liked it! Maybe a skip button for returning players would be useful though.
Cutscene at beginning was a bit too long, but Countess Downtess is a real gem of a name. Let us see the violence!
The cutscenes were clever and super funny. Art style was great! Loved the flickery effect that the flashlights sometimes got. Really enjoyed playing this. Need more levels!
Took me a minute to realize the risk from the lights was burning vs discovery. One of the guards was locked on like the terminator. Had a grudge, until I realized the villagers weren't the only prey.
One minor glitch: I took some damage on the opposite side of a building from a flashlight.

Cool and funny game, love the cutscenes and voices. Art was fun as well and fit the theme. If it was a bit more polished it would be a perfect game, nice job.
incerdible voice acting, no notes... I mean some notes... but well done. "Dear Count Down, WHAT?" makde me properly laugh.
The gameplay was fine, I loved the pixelated killing and the little pixelated corpses all around, it was a nice touch. I wish there was a way to dash or to become bats or something to get away from the torchlight but spawning back at the coffin worked fine. I would have liked a small indicator to who what direction the coffin was in as sometimes I ended up getting turned around between the buildings. Also having to step right on top of the coins was occasionally frustrating, a slightly larger collection zone would be a huge quality of life feature.
Onto the cutscenes. The voice acting was great, the countess just being higher pitched was great and as I said her confusion made me laugh. There were some spelling errors in the text, I could understand it fine and it wasn't a huge problem but it was a small thing that I noticed.
Overall this was very enjoyable for multiple reasons. I could see this being expanded very easily with needing to gather more coins, and more obstacles like narower strees with more lights and such. Well done on making a fantastic prototype.

Honestly the cutscenes were fire lol. Decently fun game, screw the flashlight dudes xD. Obviously could use some polish, but overall pretty solid!
I did not enjoy this game. The LONG cutscene was frustrating. I didn't see how to skip it. Did not understand the mechanics at first & it was then not very hard once I understood. I see potential, but it needs some work, especially playing with the camera. I want to enjoy this game, but I struggled to immerse myself in it. It is cute though. You clearly worked hard on the game & it does show through. It's close to being a pretty good game.
Sad to hear my voice acting could not entertain you for the first minute of the game.
The camera feedback ill use for the next game, and also that about the skip button, thanks!
pretty cool pretty cool
great narrative
Hats off to you for the full voice acting. The gameplay can be a bit confusing because of the pixelation on kill scenes and corpses.

The intro is funny i love it. One of the funnier games i played :))
10/10 voice acting. i liked the blur effect too when eating people
The cutscene is very good
Very fun and ambitious cutscene. The gameplay is kinda simple but fun! Good job!
