INTRODUCTION
I'm gonna write this in case I forget the little I know about this place...
I can't remember my name, I can't remember why am I here and simple things like walking seem difficult for me. It's like if I was fading away.
I've been knocking on that door for hours but I hardly know why...
I just need to get out of here
Me for myself
What Kind of game is it? How do I play it?
This is a point and click horror game. Use the right button of your mouse to select between actions and interact with your surroundings in order to find your way out of the room.
Known problems

Tools Used
Visionaire Studio
Photoshop CS5
MixPad Multitrack recording software
WavePad Sound Editor

Give mine a try, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154
It looks intriguing.
I hope you give my game a try aswell: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=46211
The art style is gorgeous, of course, but sound is also well done and gameplay works without a hitch.
The only thing I don't really like is the necessity to switch between possible actions instead of context actions or presenting them all at once, but that is of course subjective. (Perhaps it is just the standard scheme of Visionaire Studio?)
To be honest this is the first time I use Visionaire Studio and I used this Ludum Dare as a learning opportunity. I know it's possible to change what you say about how you switch between possible actions but it required more time than this method and I didn't have time to do it :)
There were a lot of ideas that we wanted to implement but didn't have the time so we did what we could :)

Here is my playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rurJhW7rfk&index=7&list=PLmCAIfF6iKQWX1RhyAaKCdmk_61etZJ_9
Good job.

Nice illustrations and sounds. I liked the scary atmosphere.
Also, the game fits very well with the theme.
Good work!
Nice one.
I really loved your art. I jumped the first time that guy grabbed my hand by the bed.
Overall it's great, but for me the ending felt chopped out.
Art looks great, sound is great, and the experience is just short enough not to wear on you. For next time I agree with the other posters that some sort of SCUMM interface or something like that, rather than cycling options with right click, would have worked better--and maybe also a more unified story? I didn't understand why the game ended when I clicked the chest, or why the scary things were happening. Another thing to look at would be changing the font face a bit so that it sticks out better against the background. What you have but with a thick black outline would have worked, but I had a hard time reading the dialogues once or twice.
I really, really liked this entry, though. It was entertainingly frightening. Thank you for the game!
The good part is that we created something that we are proud of in a very short time and now we will improve on all of these things and create an actual game with this idea.
Congrats !
