Hey, thanks so much for checking out the game! I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, the voting period has already ended, but I'd still love to know - honestly - what you'd rate the game.

Absolute Cinema! The director certainly earns his keep.
Lmao, the death effect is so epic, literraly Caine's death in TADC 8 episode.

LOL, that's a bug, but now I can't unsee the comparison. Thanks!

I love the art style, shame that you had to cut so much content, doing this alone in 4 days is still quite the achievement!

Thanks for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game.

Yeah, I definitely overscoped. As you can see from the cover art, I originally planned to include a few more monsters, but I just ran out of time. Even so, I'm happy with what I managed to put together in the end.

Thanks for the kind comment - I hope you had fun with what made it into the game!

I love the story telling of the game and the cinematic camera perspectives. Sadly I got stuck in the camera perspective where you have to shoot the demon. I think I missed and couldn't continue from there. Anyways, I really like this game and the mood it sets a lot!

Thanks for the feedback! I mentioned on the game's page that time was pretty tight, so I didn't have enough time to make a proper ending. I also wanted to make the game a bit bigger and continue the story, so that's probably why the ending feels a little strange. I hope you still enjoyed the game!

Update: I accidentally had downloads disabled on the game's itch.io page after submitting. The issue has now been fixed, and the game is available to download. Sorry to everyone who tried to play it and couldn't!

I'm sorry I couldn't include builds for other platforms. I wanted to add macOS and Linux versions as well, but time was pretty tight, and the game still isn't as finished as I'd like it to be. Thanks for your interest, though - I really appreciate it!

Thanks for pointing that out! It turns out I accidentally had downloads disabled on the itch page. I've fixed it now, so the game should be available if you'd still like to try it. Thanks for letting me know!
