A short game that involves household objects. Play it on fullscreen!
Our first team jam and our first Ludum Dare! We're all beginners in this team, so we're pretty happy to have something cohesive to share at least. We are excited to be contributing to this Ludum Dare, and we look forward to participating in future events. Please explore our work and let us know if there is anything we can work on.
There should be around 17 items to use, as well as two combos.

Real solid work and impressed what you've done with Twine.
Simple but/and solid game.
I gotta say, this is the most harrowing, unnerving thing I've played in a while.
Genuinely intense, and terrifying. Well done. Visuals and sound were both top notch, and the writing was just sparse enough to increase the tension.
Improvement suggestions: Some sound effects for the "weapons" would be awesome. Not having to click "go back" every time I check a location would be awesome.
ALL THAT SAID, well done! Hilarious entry with a great mood. The first time the burglar appeared with the crack of thunder, it made quite an impression.
It's kinda fun, but weapon use seems pretty random and thus there's not much control. The game is too short for that to become bothering though.
Great job!
I like the art, the idea, and the final result - a perfect LD entry!
Your idea of implementing the theme was really good and worked out, I think. My problem was, that it really seemed quite random, where you would find which item. Maybe you could have made it more likely to find certain items at certain places, so one can actively try to obtain useful items. Or if you did that, I didn't seem to recognize a pattern :/
Still, fun game, nice implementation of the theme, great art and mood creation - well done!
The mood was wonderful! If you made the music loop a little longer I think it would have made the ending more satisfying.
Moody, funny, nice pixel graphics.
Well done!
