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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
