Usually, in a horror game, we are hunted and attacked by monsters and demons. So since when are people now starting to break into people's houses just for missing their call? And if they are that near, surely we can just talk like normal people, no? Jokes aside, I do like the game a lot, had quite some fun too. The memory aspect of the game sits just right to be slightly difficult yet not frustrating, and it feels good to get the answer right each time. Nicely done!

Other things I like:

  • Colour-coded shapes as sequences is such a nice touch
  • Like how there are different rules for the sequences
  • Visuals and atmosphere look nice

Suggestions:

  • Maybe some visual effects to show what is ringing? It would be helpful when players are not good at listening/in a noisy environment when playing
  • Some indicator to show how long a phone will ring before it is considered unanswered would be a nice touch
  • I would add another staircase just in case a human being blocked the only way for me to go down

Had a fun time dodging and weaving through all the demons appearing in the house, I don't know why i struggled with the pattern stuff but I was happy I wasn't hit with an end screen after a failure and I could recover. Very good ramp in difficulty as it goes through and made me feel old with my bad memory and having to go back and check the damn tv each time! One thing I would change is maybe the size of the demon rules, I feel like they could take up a bit more real estate on the screen. I do think some demons that spawned were also just chill guys that left if i got close? Unsure if intended, but were chill to have around. Fun game and use of the theme!

I find it so funny that when I don't pick up the human call, I get drop kicked and received gut blows xD like if you can come here to drop kick me then why u calling me hahaha. it was great though!!!  I ran around the house and got some demonic entities stuck in the floor as i was looping them around. AND the dark cloud blobby guy was adoorableee, such a silly lil guy :D  this was vibey
