The mood is spot on! I somehow managed to make it outside, but I didn't find anyone else... I wonder if they are okay? Might try playing again to see if I can find them. I like the hand-drawn cutscenes and icons, and the voiceovers were really enjoyable! Having this in two languages as well... yeah, going to have to play it again, this time in Russian. Great job!

Edit: Played again in the Russian mode. There's an advantage to playing multiple times since it seems like the house and things are in the same places. However, for what it's worth, I think there's a bug when you attempt to flee from an encounter. This didn't happen in the ENG version, just the RUS version. When I tried to flee, I was transported back to the starting location.

The art is very good, and handling stress makes for a very interesting twist on the horror genre. I'm surprised that this doesn't have many ratings.

I like the art and the mood, :) GJ!@

I like the art, and the voice acting is good, but i'm not sure for the choice of the top down view, maybe it will be better with a side scrolling. The action sequences are a good idea. The music is good but a little repetitive when you search,add some silence to increase the tension. So it's a good job for a jam game !

Very nice horror game, immersive even more with the voice acting, and man, the art is really good. Although the flight action is freezing the game and got some other little freezes during it, it is really well done!

The player's movement always freezes when you select "flight" in the mirrors. But still, the design is curious, the art is quite personal and the audio fits very well with your aesthetic. Congrats! :D

Очень круто сделано!)

Отличная игра. Всё на высшем уровне. У бюста при выборе действия (после катсцены) игра зависла. Перезапустил игру, всё ок.

Really good! you nailed the atmosphere! I ran into a few bugs, but really enjoyed the gameplay quite a bit!

Nice!

A REALLY GOOD JOB, Nice entry your art is great and the UX is very interesting for this genre. Keep it up ! I spend good time on it well done team.

Awesome! love the creepy vibe and sound effects. Narration is also great!

Nice game

Very interesting game you made, i like tye name as well

Beautiful artwork on this game ! Very stressful mood and very cool gameplay ! Amazing game ! Congrats ! :clap:

Wow, this is one of the best entries I played till now. The graphics are great, the voiceover was perfect and the gameplay did make a bunch of fun without being either to easy or too difficult. Merely the music track wasn't as good as the rest of the game. Congratulations on finishing this awesome game :smiley:

Stress Response is really cool! The idea of a stress-management game themed around common responses to stress (fight/flight/faint) is very neat, and I love the way the story is playing out so far.

I especially loved the way monsters can respond to whether you're looking at them or not (the eyeball monster giving you extra stress when you look at it, the statues being able to move when you don't look at them, etc.)

I also really liked the character art, specifically those pop-ups that appear when the player encounters a monster. The comic-booky visual style was handled really well!

On top of that, the sound was really well done. The music is plenty creepy (though it also has a kind of fun, whimsical feeling to it as well), and the heartbeat sound effect is great for reinforcing the game's stressful themes.

One thing I would've liked to see was a sound effect for when monsters attack you, and a fight/flight/faint encounter starts. I think this would've added a bit more shock/surprise for when that happens.

Otherwise, well done! This is a pretty great jam game overall. :D

Really great game with an incredible atmosphere! The music fits perfectly and helps to give you even more stress. Love this entry :D

Hello!

@tohubohu thank you for playing both versions! For now only finding things is available, and only one map as well, so yeah! Glad you liked the mood and voiceovers!
Thanks for letting us know about the bug, fixed it!

@neverix thank you for playing the game! Glad you found stress-managment system interesting!

@roberto-romao thanks!

@robowarrior1982 thanks for your feedback! We found top-down view fit the story the best, because of how traps work, and we aren't sure side-scrolling may do us any good with light/dark mechanic!

@danielcmcg thank you for playing and leaving the comment! We are glad you found the game immersive! We fixed this flight bag, so thanks for letting us know!

@crazyhomeboys Thanks for playing and the bug-notice! We glad you liked it!

@neon-android woah, such a great comment, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the mechanics we put here, arta and sounds! We'll probably add something for these cut-scenes later, so yay!

@flywolfe Thanks!

I guess the solution to everything is just fight uh? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Interesting game, nice mood, wish I could play it a bit longer so I could learn more of the story. Nice entry.

Not bad, not bad at all. Great effort. Haven't got many complaints except for that flickering light that's so annoying.

Enjoyed the voice acting, not something you hear in a lot of game jams! Nice atmosphere.

Крутая игра! Пару раз обошёл, как мне показалось, всю локацию, но ребят так и не нашёл. Когда без них выходил на свет, игра зависла. Перезапуск помог. Жду продолжения!

Really nice game, you really manage to build the atmosphere very well. The voice acting is also a very nice touch. The monsters/encounters/art were also really nice and somewhat scary.

The only thing I would have to say that it was incredibly hard for me to differentiate between the dark brown walls and the dark brown floor especially because it is so dark and the flashligt doesnt get impeded by walls. So I was constantly running into walls.
