A horror RPG style + all-in-one-screen

Mira, a highschool student, trapped in a loop, by an entity she doesn't know.

She's now weirdly inside the school she hated. She need to get out, please assist her to get out of this loop!

There's a bad and good ending.

I love how the game begins really open, and looking simple but it becomes very complex soon. Good job! I liked it :).

Creepy! But in an awesome way. I liked your use of the theme too, with everything being on one screen and just focusing on one room at a time.

Overall awesome entry.

So much trial and error! The mood is good, but the items are hard to read and even know if you can interact with, and a lot of the times interacting with an object sends you back to the beginning due to dying or some hidden passageway. Giving clearer indication to players of what will happen when interacting with stuff would help a lot.

Atmosphere is great. :)
It seems there is a bug when reading a "Blood nightmare" note (game stucks).

Nice implementation of the theme, nice story. Graphics need polishing, but overall it was a fun game to play!

Clever idea. I haven't finished it yet, but am intrigued enough to get back to it later, when I'm back home. :3
Not really an rpg, is it? Also, most of the puzzles are trial-and-error based. And navigation between rooms! I have no idea what I'm doing! :D

Nice idea with the overhead view of the school, darkened rooms where you can't see what might be happening in them... creates nice mood. I was going to comment on not being a fan of "you looked at a thing, now this thing will kill you" mechanics in exploration based games, but on second play trying to get good ending I realised you could just leave the room and the ghost stops - not too obvious as the ghost is clearly shown walking through walls to reach you =P
Any small hints on how to get the good ending? I couldn't figure it out.

I think you guys did really well for three days! It's not super scary, but scary atmosphere is something that takes a lot of time/tweaking to cultivate and with the time you had I think you did great. Big fan of these kind of horror games :D

The crazy banshee lady in the second room freaked me out a little bit. Nice little game with some great art. I love the idea of the rooms all being on one screen but not being able to see them all. Nice work!
