Wow I played this one for a very long time, I was just so busy with scaring :D It´s so cool! It only took a little long if the ghost had no or very low energy left. Had to wait for a long time then but I guess I should´ve planned it better :D Still really, really cool and enjoyable :)

Thank you very much, I'm very glad you enjoyed our game and played it for a little while!
Just as a reminder, you can place a ghost within the blue circle around the tombstone to recharge your energy way faster! :)

Awesome! Maybe that part in the tutorial lacks emphasis, that might be why you forgot.
Hope your next play is better with this knowledge! :)

Awesome! Glad to hear that!
Just don't use the "Main Menu" button in the pause menu as it contains a bug that will delete your progress xD

You have to lock the door to prevent Joe from escaping and being able to rest :)
You can have a ghost ready by the door to prepare for that!
Agreed on the sometimes hard to click hitboxes though.
But thank you for your feeback!

Thank you! I'm not sure what you mean about the level 2? Can you elaborate?
Glad you liked our game! :)

Aww, thank you for that heart-warming comment, we really appreciate it! We're debating ideas to expand from here, so who knows, stay tuned and maybe something will come out of this :)

Thank you, you're being so nice! We're so glad you enjoyed our game! I've never heard of the game you mention, maybe I should check it out to see if I can feel the resemblance :)
Voice of the game answering here! Thank you so much <3 we've been wanting to add voice acting to our game jams for a while and since the Brackey's GameJam are a bit longer, we took advantage of it and a lot of people seem to enjoy it which is just so heartwarning to read :)
You can use keys to switch ghosts! See the number above a ghost head? Use the corresponding key of your keyboard to select that one! :D
I agree on the sometimes hard to click hitboxes but the deadline is what it is unfortunately!
Thank you again for playing and commenting :)
Amazing game! Really fun and original. Incredible quality for a gamejam. There is a lot of polish put into it with the detailed tutorial, voiceover and opening cutscenes.
One issue I had was that some of the objects (mostly lamps) had small hitboxes and were sometimes difficult to click on.
I had a funny bug on the last level where 2 people went outside to calm down and then just stayed there spinning around eachother :P
Thank you so very much for that comment, we're so glad you enjoyed our game!
Yeah, the hitboxes are far from perfect, we've heard that a lot unfortunately :/
haha, yeah, that thing can happen where neither of the guys can reach the spot so they can't rest xD
Refreshing the page and reload the game allows to use the "Continue" button in the main menu to restart the level :)

Thank you very much! Glad you liked our game!
We had a lot of fun writing and recording the voice lines so it's awesome to see you enjoyed them! :D
Yeah, we were made aware of that bug shortly after the deadline, we wrote the "fix" in the game's description but I can understand if you did not see it. When that happens, simply reload the webpage, run the game and the main menu should have a "continue" button to take you right back to the level you were on. And you're correct, the 4th level with the 3 ghosts is, indeed, the last one ;)
Hey thank you so much for that comment, it really means a lot to us! <3
You are totally correct, the 4th level is indeed the last one ;)
It can be a bit tricky, maybe even frustrating, but nothing forces you to scare them at the same time, you can pretend two of them don't exist, and focus on one, and them move the second one, and then the last one.
Yeah the sound are a bit drowned, I agree. I made them when the music was not integrated yet and had no time to fix the volumes later on, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One mechanic that isn't actually explained is that if you keep a ghost inside an object, it slowly depletes its energy, so you can find yourself short on energy if you do this.
Did you play on Firefox? For some obscure and unknown reason, the hitboxes on the side of the screen are off to the side if you play on Firefox, couldn't figure out why :(
Thank you again for the lovely and detailed feedback! :)

Thank you so much!
Believe it or not, we had no idea this game even existed so it's pure coincidence :D
I think you just have to order your priorities. We've been wanting to add voice acting for our jam games for a little while so we made sure to include it in this one, by removing some other parts :)
But anyway, thank you for that very nice comment! :D
