THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!! WTF I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Easily game of the jam for me and unironically one of my favorite games of the year outside the jam. Immaculate game feel with the music and gore, I love the title and how you're just thrown in without much explanation beyond that. The game play is so simple but so effective and I love the idea of modifying specific sides of your block. It's remarkable how good this came out in just a week. I would genuinely pay money for an expanded version of this (it would barely need anything more to fit in line with other simple indie horrors like carrion or endoparasitic)

Hilarious concept for a game!! It did crash for me after a bit of playing (web version) 

I figured! Didn't look AI at all just wanted to give you a heads up :)

I'm on a Mac and the web build was having some issues (camera and sound not working right) which is a huge bummer because this game looks incredible!! This will be the first game I try as soon as I get my PC back

Fantastic liminal atmosphere! Empty malls are one of my favorite creepy vibes. Also loved the voices

Gorgeous graphics!! Fun story too, loved the ending!

Very cute pixel art and a banging soundtrack! Not sure if it was on purpose but it was a bit too dark to make out the layout so I sometimes had trouble finding the doors 

Wow! Gorgeous graphics and immersive atmosphere. Gameplay was fun. I did seem to get stuck on Day 5 at 2/3 missions done (I received the supplies received message each time but the day wouldn't end), not sure if I just hit the end of the story content or a bug. Otherwise fantastic game though!

The checkerboard effect is crazy cool! I would love to see this developed more once the jam is done as right now it's a bit simple but has a lot of potential for additional depth (e.g. spamming shield auto wins most fights and the boss seems to just be a stat check)

Gorgeous visuals and the simplicity of the premise (esp with the title) really worked. I do wish it was a bit harder-- I couldn't tell if you had implemented this, but if you haven't, having the reaction window shrink as the game went on would make this a lot more engaging and probably quite addicting.

Sorry it wasn't your cup of tea but thanks for giving it a shot!

Very cute!! And the graphics were gorgeous. Gameplay was simple but just challenging enough to keep you engaged and perfect for a short & sweet adventure

Thanks for sharing! Didn't have anyone to playtest with so it's really cool watching someone play! I really appreciate how you seemed to engage with all the mechanics, I know it's hard not to let all that wash over you,  especially when there's so many games to get to. And pumped you managed to win and get a great score too!

Looks cool but crashes for me when I hit play :(

I'm on Mac which might be related? In browser though which normally doesn't give trouble

This is such a cool game!! I love the use of sound. My only issue was my cursor kept leaving the game in browser which made controlling camera hard, maybe if you enabled fullscreen (itch offers a checkbox to do that which might do the trick) it might help!

Updated the game to be a bit easier! Let me know if anyone still finds it challenging (or just finds the game mechanics confusing at all... tried to help with NPC dialogue but I know its complex!)

After some more tinkering I think 300 is theoretically possible

My best score is 141 pts. I think there are a few ways it could probably be beaten though with clever backtracking

Oh nice-- I'm glad I asked! This is really cool!! Played a few times and couldn't survive- the end game roll is brutal and I got 2s on it twice, than another time I just slowly lost sanity. I also never got any knowledge, not sure if that's just bad luck or its just too rare.

is there a way to play this?

Wow, this game has such a cool aesthetic, and concept. The quiz at the end actually really had me thinking about the nature of forgiveness and punishment, really cool stuff!

Played it again and it seems like the book finding was fixed so its a lot easier to play now. Really spooky, especially the creepy noises. If you ever continue this adding some visual scares like a book falling would scare the hell out of me. I thought I got all the books correctly but keep getting the bad ending for some reason

Yeah its a tough balance to strike because you were going for a surreal dreamy vibe, but if its too confusing people won't be able to progress far enough

Very cool graphics and story. My only note is that it was very hard to navigate and I kept getting lost

Spooky! And I love the title. my only suggestion is its sometimes hard to know if the text is done or not before you press the button, I accidentally missed some dialogue at first because of that.

I don't remember that, but if its possible to screw up the concoction that might've been it, I couldn't read the cursive text really well so I just grabbed the only ingredients I had seen. I got the message saying my weapon was coated but if that can be a fakeout that's probably it.

Very scary! Loved the creepy breathing and the static effect as it got closer. Only gripe was I couldn't seem to kill him even after coating my knife with the concoction and throwing it at him, not sure if it was a bug or I did something wrong.

Really cool start- the radio sounds when you hit the ghost are really spooky. A lot gets cut off when you're not in full screen mode, and also I played a few times and didn't always see the ghost. Also didn't seem like there was a downside to driving off the road

Really creepy atmosphere and vibes. I'm only sad I wasn't able to finish it-- its just way too hard to find the books. I ended up resorting to just clicking randomly, without that I don't know if I would've found any of them.

Very spooky! "Long teeth and impatient eyes" is such an evocative and creepy phrase. Is the game supposed to end as soon as you decide whether to touch the book?

Great concept, presentation and music. Trivia was a bit too easy, and the endings felt a bit too anticlimactic. I'd love to see this developed further

Thank you! Haha I spent a good portion of my jam time figuring out the map (and most of the remaining time figuring out how to make the images wobble) so glad you liked it

Thank you!! I'm so glad to hear people were willing to not only play it through but play it multiple times. Really means a lot to hear.

Wow!!! This is such an incredible honor. Especially considering all the other (far better) fantastic games under consideration. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Also the two spookiest parts weren't even connected to the main mystery! 

(spoilers....

the guy in the elevator and the creepy guy on the other side of the grate)

Wow. Closest I've ever felt to playing an SCP. I would play a whole series about it. Surprisingly tricky too, I don't know if I would ever be able to do it in the allotted time my first try.

Ahhh, this was so creepy!! Amazing story-telling
