Wow! The most scary I've played in the jam :s
I died a lot of times but it's good. I like the arrow effect when it sticks in a tree. Good ambience!

Creepy Crow (gamejam)Very short game, but very entertaining! I love the atmosphere and the use of the monsters' (I think there is more than one?) sounds. The sound of extra footsteps following me is especially my favorite. I also ran so far out that I couldn't see any more trees haha.
I think the only thing this game needs is an extra indicator that you're charging the bow. If I hadn't read the description, it might've been a little confusing.
Seriously though, great job on this game! I liked it a lot!

Second Manor10/10 can pickup used arrows. This was tense, didn't expect some enemies to move so quick. Great aesthetic and tough gameplay made for genuine spooks.

Mine ShaftGenuinely made us jump! Love the low poly style, it feels like a haunted ps1 game.
It's a bit of a mystery the first time you play of what you're actually supposed to do or how to shoot, maybe in future a tutorial / some instructions in the actual game would go a long way. Apart from that, really great atmosphere and very spooky sound design, great job!

Halloween Hunt - Game Jam VersionHa, I love that you had to add the disclaimer about shooting pumpkins doing nothing, because it was definitely my first instinct as well. Combat's pretty intense. I think "time remaining" or similar UI would go a long way.

DememorizeHaha jumpscare fest! :D
I have so many questions: HOW DO I SHOOT?! jk I figured that one out but it took me a while. What am I supposed to do? What are the pumpkins for? Do I stay in the spawn area? Should I wander around? Why are there no more trees if I go far enough? Is there an edge of the map and what happens if I reach it?
I like the atmosphere, the style, the trees the sounds and the monsters. I like everything but it's only jumpscares and not too scary. The death animation could use some more work. Anyway nice job!

Do Not Look At The MoonDamn that was scary! I jumped hahaha! Really like the athmosphere and sounds, they were convicing

Hide your fearsThe first game to give me an actual scare, nice job!
Also, we have somewhat similar cover images with the white glowing eyes haha
Feel free to check out our game, it may not be as scary but I'm curious what you'll think

The Guiding EyesCool game! Thanks for submiting it!
The forest is epic! Idk why but the trees are something XD
I like how the campfire fades out, and player is left in shadows.
I have got monster with arrow 2 times, but he gets me sometimes with no reason (at least I do no understand why).

Fear the Void: PrologueI liked the game but I didn't really understand it at first. The sound of the monsters was really good, especially the one that was crawling or something. However I think I somehow got out of the map, I kept walking and went to a place with no trees, just ground.

Shadows in the forestAtmosphere is well-made and the jump scares got a me a couple times. I will say that I wasn't exactly sure what the goal of it was. I'm given this bow, but I can't seem to see or shoot the thing that keeps killing me. So what's the point?
