I really love the art style, and the atmospheric sounds are also great. I did end up confused about the instructions on some levels which cost a whole lot of time trying to find the right exit of the levels, so for me the game got much too long for a jam game and I had to give up after almost an hour’s worth of playing.
I think if there was a way to move faster in the maze it would have helped some but I also think at least some levels are a couple of times larger than they need to be to sell the point that you are not supposed to brute force your way through. Or some other mechanic to force the player to understand the riddles of the instructions. Which I never fully did, but partially did.
So exploring got a bit frustrating in the end. And I hope I wasn’t right on the edge of the actual exit when I gave up.
Play-through with more feedback:
Considering the title of this game and my username, I simply couldn’t resist playing it... And the visuals won me over.
I really enjoyed the artwork and design, great work! Very spoopy 0_o
Yuh-uh!!! Yuh-uh!!! Yu-uh!!!
The art was really cool. Poor straw man has no heart :( I love the Wolf. Female/Male Door, very nice! a way to run through the maze quicker might be nice unless I missed what the sprint hot key is. It was cool when the music finally kicked in, I wish I heard that sooner. It is really cool you can draw in the book.
much love <3
Lovely art!
Thank you! Our Artists really worked night and day to make it happen!
great art, and woah thats a lot of content for a gamejam entry
Thank you haha, we werent originally planning on making this much but i suppose scope creep got the best of us! we really apreciate anyone who sticks around for the ride
Lovely art and atmosphere, great work! ;))
Nice one, it was really difficult to find the path, and I also gut stuck. I don't know where Puck was, and got stucked on the eyes wide shut level as someone commented before.
hey, thank you for playing :) would you be down to talking on discord a little, im genuinely curious what might be going on with people not finding puck sum_catnip on discord if you’re down, id appreciate it!
Super cool use of the theme, nice writing & sound! Got stuck on eyes wide shut.
The character art is really beautiful! It feels a little different from the art style of the map, but overall it’s a really good game.
Good game!!!! I got stuck on the eyes wide shut level but i think I missed some important clarifying npcs (like that puck the fool mentioned) I enjoyed it a lot and I like chester!!
yeah you skipped a step somehow haha thanks for playing <3
great game, only feedback i would give constructively is to give the different characters different fonts, some of the conversations between two and three people got a little confusing unless paying very close attention to the nametag
art is fantastic, good sound design and can tell a lot of effort has been put into this. great work
thank you and fully agreed! in all honesty we didnt think about fonts at all and then shoved in the font that the itch.io page used last minute haha
Love the pixel art style! I got stuck at the door level but I enjoyed it tremendously!
Really makes you think making it perfectly fit with the theme, though something that does take me out of it a bit is the inconsistency of the art style between the overworld and the dialogue, but they both look good individually!
Gorgeous artwork, and love that you can scribble on the notebook! Really well done.
no u :p
I love the characters and their designs, and the fact that there is a book to keep track of what characters tell you, the audio felt creepy and soothing. Great Work!
thank you mister bird sir <3
Absolutely amazing visuals. The audio adds a LOT to the atmosphere as well. I also just really like the names of the characters. Great job overall! My only minor complaint is that sometimes its difficult to find the spot you need to be in to go through pathways.
thank you!!
ye the collisions around the hedges could defs use some improvement
Very underrated, STRIKING visuals I loved every single bit of it! AND THANK YOU FOR THE BANNERSS
youre so sweet thank you for the kind words <3
good job yall! great job with the graphics (like, really. i adore your artists), but yall could have given the audio some more attention.
thank you for playing :)
i think the audio got plenty of attention, we didnt mention it in the description but the 2 songs in the game are specifically composed for this game, the ambience noises we recorded and edited ourselves aswell as the walking sounds, sound effects for prettymuch every feature in the game and a custom sound for every statue!
very proud of our sound people <3
