Beautiful game. The art is fantastic and charming. I learned I clearly will not survive the zombie apocalypse.
Great job on the art and aesthetic of the game. Very polished and can tell yal are much better at drawing than me.
The game feels very polished, the gameplay loop is engaging and art is consistent which creates a very cool experience:)
I think that having the manual update with new clues to look out for every night and gradual introduction of new suspect types would be a cool addition, since after the second night I would always skip the study time.
Overall, this is a great entry:)
This is amazing! I really love the assets, I love that its difficult enough to tell if the trick or treaters are imposters. Everything from the main menu, to the tutorial, and game play is amazing.
Amazing art and atmosphere, but I didn't really understand what to do or what to look for. But an amazing game nonetheless!
Nice subtle details with the artwork. The game was pretty straightforward. I thought I had it down but died at 3900 score because I didn't learn all the variations of the art haha
Just a minor bug I noticed when the rounds go over 6, like 10/6, it'll render on two different lines
Great art and simplicity of the game. Some minor improvements like the number 0 not matching in style or progressive gameplay would have made it better. This is a great solid game! I loved everything about it. Amasing game!
Love the artstyle! The slanted board being used as the start screen is super cool and unique. It was fun figuring out who was who. Good job!
Really cool game! The art is really good!
I did really enjoy this I won my second run. I thought the gameplay was really fun, and I also really liked the concept overall a great game!
I've just finished the game! It's one of those games that caught my attention with its cover, and when I played it, I found that not only does it have stunning visuals, but they are also highly polished and fun to play. My favourite thing is the art style. Since there are five people on the team, I would like to give them extra credit for that. It's not easy to coordinate multiple people to create such beautiful, cohesive art. The art direction was flawless.
Really nice game ! I love the idea and the art is really well-made !
Very cool game! It was a lot of fun. I like the game concept and the theme is well used.
Simple yet very fun game. I really enjoyed to have to look and investigate if the characters had any differences. The artwork is also stunning! Well done!
The art is amazing!! I especially appreciate the detailed tutorial explaining how to tell who’s a bad guy and who isn’t... although some of them were still pretty hard to figure out XD
The gameplay is really fun, though maybe a little easy. It would be even better with more levels and more types of monsters in the future!! XD
Fun to play! I loved the character design changes from the costume to friendly trick or treater, this game overall had a lot of charm in its visual style. It sort of felt nostalgic to me. The loop worked well and the timer to identify the threat or trick-or-treater kept me on my toes a bit. Also the trick-or-treat setting is fitting since Halloween isn't too far away!
really awesome spot the anomaly type of game, died to a dino with a phone in its mouth in round 5
Pretty cool game liked it a lot
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it!
Fantastic game! The core idea is simple, immediately understandable and works really well. I especially like that the tells aren’t always identical, so you still have to pay attention instead of just memorizing one feature per monster.
The presentation is absolutely outstanding.
The art style is gorgeous and incredibly cohesive, and everything from the character designs and animations to the UI, music and sound fits together beautifully. This is easily one of the best-looking jam games I’ve played so far, and the atmosphere completely sold me on it.
I made it through all six rounds with one life left, then immediately made the wrong call in the bonus round and died. Finished with 2850 points. Is that any good? I’m definitely going in for another run.

Edit after a second run: I made it to round 20 and nearly 10,000 points before stopping. Once I knew all the tells, it started to get a bit too easy and repetitive, so a few more variations or some increasing difficulty over time could add even more longevity. Still a fantastic game overall!
Thanks for playing and for your feedback, we really appreciate it!
We had planned on more variations and monsters, but because of time constraints we couldn't add them. Glad you still had fun with our game!
Short and sweet!
Thanks for playing!
