Very good and creative! Really enjoyed the narrative.

Exceptional. Music was perfect. 
Almost gave up on the second puzzle, but then it was easy from then on. Would've been cool to have alternate endings based on choices you make.

Developer(+1)

Alternate endings would have been cool for sure. Thanks for sticking with the game!

Please make "The House Always Wins 3" 
Thank you.

took me a while for the words to form. I really liked the art style. I wish the words were longer in SFX to notice the sequence better. My first language is not english so this was a bit of a challenge. Great job!!

Developer

Yeah I must admit that some of the sound bites are very hard to make sense of. Thanks for playing!

Developer

I did not consider that, but thanks anyways

Wow, such a cool game! Great music, visuals, and story that unfolds while you play. Pretty clever theming, a countdown to your death. Got stuck at first on the second level, then it went pretty smoothly, and I enjoyed the auditory puzzles! Great work!

Developer

Thank you :)

I love the artwork and the concept, but my laptop hated the audio mixing so I only managed a few puzzles being completely unable to hear :(

Would love to play a future version of this, I can’t get enough of that art style!

Developer

You can lower the music volume from the settings if that helps at all. But thanks for playing anyways!

Whoever made the music (I owe you a pretzel) I was banging my head, vibing to the main menu, and refusing to start the game. Also, I love the visuals and how uncanny dreamcore they look like, I thought the ._. was just a face didn't know you could drag audio though took me a while to figure out, also the audio would sometimes cut off to quick, but regardless I loved the eeriness behind the game! :P

Developer

Thanks for the kinds words :) You made the audio guy very happy.

Submitted(+1)

The visuals are so cool! Not sure how you accomplished that look with the real pictures, but they look super cool!

Submitted(+1)

The visuals are so cool! And I love the concept! Really really great entry well done!

cool environment and audio!

Nice artwork and a solid core idea. I haven't figured out the connection to the theme yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds.

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game idea. The the sound design combined with the art style makes it weirdly captivating

Submitted(+1)

The visuals and narrative were great!! I was hanging on to see what each new soundbite would bring!

Submitted(+1)

Thats messed up, getting me all on edge like that. Everything about this gives me the shingles, Awesome game!

Submitted(+1)

Cool style. Dungeon synth style.

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! Loved the art and the music and the aesthetics and the sound and the main mechanic. Really cool implementation of the theme overall! :D

Developer(+1)

Love u!

Submitted(+1)

man this was a trip. cool mechanic that I wish had more depth. the music sometimes made it hard to solve the puzzles so thanks for adding the option to turn it down.

Developer(+1)

Yeah we initially had plans for more complicated puzzles with multiple people having voice lines and environment sounds and stuff, but then we ended up making it simpler so everyone can hopefully finish the game. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

It is an understatement to say that the cover art and the art on your page caught my attention! And it did not disappoint. Special shoutout to the audio which absolutely slapped. I want more!

Developer

Thanks :)
