How does the game fit the theme?
Second submission was done as the first one had a problem with executable rename, no changes were made to the build.
Also we spent 20 mins trying to submit from a different account but itch had server issues T^T
Monsters are at the haloween party but there are humans in costumes as well. You cannot trust who is a monster and who is a human
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
None

The art in the intro/tutorial is extremely impressive. The visuals in-game are great as well as the concept. I wasn't able to make it all the way to 6AM but I got very close. Eventually there were so many partiers it became hard to interact with the correct person. Great game!

Welcome HomeI like the pixel art a lot, and the art in the intro is especially impressive. I also really like the little death animations! My main criticisms is that simply camping in front of the door feels like too dominant a strategy, and killing a single human being an IMMEDIATE game over feels a little harsh, but otherwise I like it!

Not Even YourselfI like it. Its a cute little simple pixel art game. My only criticisms are, it was a little too simple and sometimes it was a little hard to try to specifically kill a specific npc. The art is really good and it was enjoyable.

Smirnoff, Shotguns and Shufflingsimple but cool entry, I like how the house looks with all the decoration I think you made a good job making it feel like a halloween party! I also found the track to be oddly catchy
I like threat there is variety in the way you identify monsters and I thought it was particularly clever that the vampires do not have a reflection, tho I will say that in practice when the house is crowded I would only really kill vampires whenever happened to spot it walking it takes quite a bit for one to warder in front of a mirror on it's own.
At first I thought I could completely cheese it by just sitting by the door and killing the monsters the moment they enter until I realized how hard that actually becomes the moment the hallway gets crowded, then I just played the game normally lmao. I will say tho sometimes when I accidentally double tapped E I instantly lose because it killed an innocent nearby. it would have been nice if there was a system where you could actually lock on your target before killing them

Charge the Tower (Unfinished)Like the concept, but I feel the execution could've been better.
Found a way to cheat the system: just stand in front of the main door and wait for the red bar to move. Since only one NPC enters at a time, it's easy to spot the real ghosts that way, which kind of ruined the gameplay.
That said, I also played it as intended, and it was fun! Really like the art style, and the music fit well. the ghosts turning slightly transparent was a nice touch.
Adding an outline around the NPC you want to kill would be a great addition.
Great job either way!

The Last Summer CampReally cool game!!! Figuring out which guests at a Halloween party are actual ghosts and which ones are just humans in costumes is such a fun idea!
I noticed that some of the ghosts seemed to become slightly transparent sometimes (is that one of the ways to identify them?), but I still had a hard time telling ghosts and humans apart, so I accidentally killed the wrong person quite a few times XD Maybe having a little guidebook with some hints on how to identify ghosts would be helpful!
Also, I kind of wish we had a few more chances after making a mistake. I mean, killing even ONE innocent person is obviously a pretty serious mistake in real life XD But for the sake of gameplay... please have mercy on me!!
Really fun concept! I enjoyed it a lot!

WEIRD FEELINGSimple idea but a very nice execution. I was surprised to see how much assets you've produced, good looking sprites all around. Actually working mirrors are a rarity, even on much bigger projects. Your intro slides are also very nice.
Having mirrors be the way to discover vampires is a stroke of genius, very nice touch. I love that you've given the player more than enough way to investigate monsters. One big problem however : since every guests arrive from the same door it's possible to simply camp in front of it. As soon as the "monster bar" get a spec of red, it's evident that the last arriving guest is a monster. One way to fix that would have been to have two or three differents doors.
Pretty solid entry overall, I would love to see this expended with more monsters. Nice job !

Connivancethis game has an interesting concept with everyone dressed up as a halloween character (except some of them are not and you have to identify how they are supernatural)! the music is also reflecting the halloween party vibe! i would say add more variety for characters and possibly some sound effects? overall, i really enjoyed playing this game!
