Really funny! The ambiance is just amazing, and I loved the ghost voices, they always make me laugh!

Aww thank you!! I am so glad! I made the small ghost voices  and it was a very fun time acting :D

Love the atmosphere of this and the art style, it's super endearing while still being creepy!

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out the controls. I looked at the settings, walked up to the ghost, held down my left mouse button for 20 seconds and nothing happened. Tried spamming it and spamming the right mouse button too but that didn't help.

That's very odd. So sorry to hear that you've had such glaring issues! Just in case: When starting to play you can only suck in the blue ghosts hidden around the level, not the big red spider-ghost at the door. 

I'm glad you liked the atmosphere and art style and sorry again for having such problems!

I enjoyed this a lot and finished it in one go!

The gameplay loop was very satisfying. Great 3D environment, very good (which is really important here) directional audio and really fun use of the limitation.

I can't even imagine to do any 3D game in a 2 week jam and yours is so well done!

An enjoyable and chill gameplay loop! I played until night 4 and managed to open the door at the end of the hallway although I wasn't quite sure what to do at that point. When I got to night 5, the door could no longer be opened so I can't help but feel I missed out on something (maybe the ending?). The ghosts were cute and I liked the animation to indicate that the vacuum gun was full! I wish there was another movement upgrade like a sprint in order to provide some variety to the gameplay.

Thanks for the nice review. We are so glad you enjoyed it! You can feed the ghost you find behind the door. If you feed it enough, you indeed reach the end. I can totally understand missing that interaction. Instructions in that regard would be helpful.

Ohhh that makes sense! It did seem the rather spooky type who would do that sort of thing!

There's instructions under the settings tab.

You need to hold down the left mouse button until the ghosts are sucked in.
