My Little Secret by Thein

[raw]
made by Thein for LD29 (COMPO)
POST-COMPO WEB VERSION: Added using shift or X to speed through text and sprint! Other than that, the game is exactly the same.

The game entered an infinite loop when I used the mama's bed, I am playing again without doing that, the game is pretty cool!

After my first ending I got stuck beside mom's bed after finding the secret. It just repeated: "This is where mom sleeps" over and over. But the mood of the game ist incredible! Nice work!

This is really cute! The text sounds were annoying unfortunately, but I think how slick everything else was made up for that.

Nice little adventure game! Little on the slow side though, if it were a little faster I think it'd be a lot more engaging. Great work otherwise!

LOL. I knew there was a twist... But i had to look at the other comments to know where to go. Like others have said, incredible mood!

Web version requires a right click "go fullscreen" before it works. Not reviewed yet but it's very charming presentationally!

Hmm, the web version works fine for me. Unity Web Player is kinda weird sometimes.

Thanks for the fixed version ! Nice game, the graphics are perfect, cute and yet, you can tell something is not right. Great job !

Wonderfully disturbing! I knew right from the start that this was going dark places.

The whole thing, unfortunately, moves too slow. The text speed especially is kind of mind-numbing to deal with. Especially when you're asking us to play through the game multiple times.

Whoa this is creepy, nice mood. Btw it would be good if you could speed up the dialogue & walk speed.

It was hard to get through because of how slow the text and movement are. But definitely neat, had an Earthbound feel early on.

Great game! Super creepy! Personally, I like the pace of the kid. I agree the text is pretty slow.

That was... surprising!, Really fun; I feel like the dialogue is bit slow but that's me just being picky. Awesome game

I wish the movement and text were faster, but other than that it was pretty solid!

I audibly gasped. I only got ending #2, but still, it was great! The movement is definitely too slow for me though, I almost stopped playing. :-/

Poor Boomer!!! :.( I really enjoyed the game though. cute and disturbing at the same time. awesome.

The game is good, played it for a longer while, but there are two important things:
You should be able to speed up the dialogues, don't know if it's only here that I can't
The character should be a little faster
While adding those 2 things, it wouldn't take people so long to explore your game, because most of the time you're walking and waiting for the printing of short dialogues instead of getting into the story.
Except of these two, the game is really nice :)

wow.... well, that was a surprising turn. The walk speed was painfully slow, otherwise nice game :)

Fun, scary and quite surprising (ending 4), but the sluggishness of the interaction is agonising. And shift/x still doesn't speed anything up in the web version.

Alright game, though the pacing could have been a little quicker with faster movement and dialog, but it's just...

...well...

...I was hoping the secrets were going to be...um

nice little game, it was hard to notice that the blue print revealed where to go, furthermore, please increase the text speed, good job

Text sound is kinda annoying after a while. The ams is pretty cool, it gave my the chills. I only saw one ending, but the fact that you have 4 is amazing. Great entry!

I enjoyed the game and the way that it turns out. I didn't play more than Ending 1 though I figured out how the others would probably go. It's an interesting use of the theme and I liked most of what you did.

I'd talk about the character/text speed, but you've already addressed those in your fixed version. Overall an interesting game.

Oh and "Yum. Panties." is the worst.
