I probably should have waited until info was available, but spent a good chunk of time collecting all six people and all of the clots I could find. I had 10 and six people and tried to do the ultimate form update but it didn't seem do anything when I clicked it, so I then upgraded the gun a few times. I'm assuming I ran into the end of the jam content, but it left me wanting more so that's always a good thing! The atmosphere was top notch and it was very cool to see your teams take on a horror setting!

This game gives me very much the creeps, will recommend. how do i gain energy back?

Honestly an insanely cool game. The vibes and art are great and it doesn't feel like you compromised on actually making it fun. The map design like the placement of the clot trees was very clever as well because I never felt completely lost.

The only thing I'd say is the attacks on the heart didn't feel like much of a threat. I let a couple of the enemies through and I didn't notice anything happening. It's still fun just as an adventure game though.

One little thing. When I opened your page, because your link is labelled "Microsoft Windows" instead of "HTML5 (web)", I almost skipped over it because I thought I'd have to download it.

"I just want to cut all the trees."

Very-very good, i like it. Design is beautiful.

Chop sound is lagging sometimes, but its ok.

Really cool vibes. I love the art! Reminds me slightly of Death Trash

​If I were to sum up this game in two words, it would be: intriguingly creepy. The mood is a solid 5 stars for me. I don't know how you did it, but the music and sound effects were hitting the spot. The character portraits were amazing, and the dialogue was so... fitting. I think the only thing to improve would be the slime attacks at the beginning of the days. They were too easy and didn't really have any bearing on the gameplay in my opinion, though I did like getting new weapons and such. Wonderful job!

Haha creepy but nice. Good progression. Just at the moment when I was thinking "this game will get really repetitive if I need to carry these clots back one at a time" you introduce the solution. I died at the end because I realised too late you can kill the little spider things. You executed this well. Well done!

Very creepy game. I love the art and the writing. I got stuck though.

@ludumdaredevil stuck how?

This game was awesome. The art style, mood, and aesthetics really made it into such a cool and cohesive story. Definitely plenty of room to expand on the story and game play too! I really enjoyed this one.

Love the creepy art style and the sound design!! Still need to collect all the souls, but the game is super nice :) Here I go again to collect the souls!

Amazing entry as always! Love the creepiness you went with this time!

Love this one. the fog of war was a nice touch, a great amount of polish in here. Great entry hope you are all proud of this one. I hunger still.

Amazing game! First I played the web version and I had a lot of lags. I am not sure if this might be a problem on my end (no one else seem to mention this), but I then downloaded the windows build and that one worked totally fine. I really liked the progression and exploration in this game and how every stranger adds some potential upgrade, but I also hesistated to get those upgrades, since finishing the game needs 10 of the same currency. But then again, there is plenty of those, so in the end there wasn't a problem at all.

Simply wonderful atmosphere and the satisfaction of collecting the souls one by one.

In the browser version, the sound glitches. The audio, visuals, narrative and atmosphere are top-notch. However, gameplay-wise, I felt a lack of progression and motivation to keep progressing. There is progression and upgrades, but there’s too little danger for them to really matter. One pistol was enough for me. I didn’t even need the shotgun and the in-game currency accumulated so quickly after some point. I spent the last few days just quickly searching for the remaining NPCs

These sounds and visuals create an amazing atmosphere — I’m absolutely thrilled by it.

It's a very cool and beautiful game, but unfortunately, the gameplay is a bit lacking. I don't really understand the purpose of energy and the runner, as the most effective strategy is to stand still for 5 minutes while the runner collects everything.

@yatsu but then you won't meet the others in the forest! :smile:

Everything is top-notch, this game totally deserves to make it into Ludum Dare’s top 10!

This game is an absolute work of art. Everything feels so consistent, like a fully finished and playable experience

Beeing following you since your Tristram submission, always love how stylish your games are guys!

wow, that was very cool, feels very stylish and atmospheric

Amazing work as always, love the writing sound and music. Great vibes. The first waves with the axe feel a bit clunky (probably what they should feel like), only got stuck on the humming lady for a bit because of my tendency to ignore all but the nice sounding answer in a dialog :smile: One other nitpick is that there are 1 or 2 paths that kind of send you running against an invisible wall. All in all solid 9/10 would recommend.

It's so atmospheric, I love the atmosphere of the game, the huge heart and these sounds do the job

Just AMAZING! The sound design here is peak

I'm always a huge fan of your games for Ludum Dare, and this one is SO moody! Despite normally hating horror lol, I love how dark and just genuinely CREEPY this feels.

I'll admit, though, that I wasn't good at killing the swarm of enemies each morning so I lost to them :(

Amazing game! Love the artstyle and the overall athmosphere.

The audio - cool!!! Visuals - great! Narrative - top-notch!
Atmosphere, mood and vibe - Amazing!
Super nice creepy Game!

Thanks for the game experience! Good job!

A very unusual project — to be honest, I didn’t really read too deeply into what was happening, there’s definitely some kind of psychedelia going on 😄
But gameplay-wise, it’s really engaging — I enjoyed it a lot.
Great atmospheric visuals, nice sound design (even if it overlaps a bit sometimes), and a small but intriguing world that makes you want to explore and push forward.
Unusual and awesome project — well done!

It’s an incredible game. All aspects are excellent. Brilliantly done! :scream_cat:

Phew, that was dark! Amazing mood, great graphics, musics and mostly everything. I loved the Lovecraft vibes in this game :black_heart:

The difficulty was good. I died on the first run when I wasn't efficient enough, but second run I already owned it and fully enjoyed the powers of different souls. Not sure if there was another ending, but I took every soul and completed the heart.

I liked that there was chatting and there were different tools to clear different areas/things and even the tower defence aspect. So much variance in single game. Outstanding work!

Hardly trying to remember all my ways through the forest and don't get cold feet. catch all the goosebumps from sound and art, game is awesome!

Another masterpiece

The mood is outstanding vibes.

wow, this graphics is masterpiece level, everything works well for this dark and eerie mood

Wow this so well done. Congrats!

woah this is NASTY im obsessed. im truly so impressed with the writing, narrative, the idea itself, the sounds and characters. i lost the game and probably didnt get the ending mentioned on itch page but woah this was so so cool!! congrats on an amazing entry!!!

Wow this was such an insanely good one! This is what a 5 star entry looks like to me! Engaging and diverse gameplay, amazing art, a full narrative arc, a great atmosphere and amazing sound design and music to match the tone. Awesome job guys!

So far my favourite entry! played it till the and, very creepy mood acomplished!

what an atmosphere... incredible, what discomfort

Great game about sacrifice. I liked mini-riddles with characters – each one has its own vibe. I didn't immediately realize the scythe for cutting grass, i tried to shoot it)
I don't understand why there were bunches of bones in the forest.
Graphics are beautiful, creating horrific dark atmosphere.

An amazing game in every aspect!

Even after seeing it played on stream, I wanted to do it myself.

It's beautiful, sounds nice, and plays very tactilely and responsively.

I have nothing to add. Perhaps I was amused by the final character who seemed hesitant until the very end.

Great characters and location! Had some sound problems on web version. Also i've never used pistol or shotgun, may is it better to make some room for them. Thank you!

A real game made in just 3 days, not a prototype or a hack. Awesome mood and writing, great pacing (it starts to be important at this level of quality=) ).

Very polished and atmospheric!

this was fun. art is gorgeous and the atmosphere is so great. gj!

Amazing experience, the game feels great and is responsive to everything you do, the intensity of the sound and music rising as the creatures approach, the ash particles floating in the air, the characters and their quaint little personalities. There's a mysterious story but somehow you understand. So cool!!

The atmosphere is absolutely stunning. It is creepy, beautiful, and captivating. The graphics and sound are perfectly combined, and the pace of the game is incredibly addictive. One of the most well-developed and memorable jam games I have ever played.

An amazing game as always. Every Jam I take part it I am looking forward for your game to play. You guys do such a great job every time. I love the pixel art, the atmosphere, the music, the story, everything. Just like always, top tier game 5/5.

A team of 6, with 4 ratings given, and multiple posts asking for attention.

The event is not only about you.

1/5 in all categories.

Super cool game, love the creepy vibes! :wink:
It looks like the web version lags whenever something new is instantiated.. I guess that's the way godot handles instancing new objects for the first time, at least on the web version. I haven't yet tried the Windows one, will do.
Great job!

What a great game. A very pleasant combination of pixel art and the dark, almost gothic aesthetics of classic horror with a written plot and cut scenes. I think this is an excellent representative of original games with a very decent level, which was made during the jam days.

Interesting game! I like its art style and the mysterious and terrifying atmosphere!!

Absolutely loved this creepy game… it was fun to play but even better to experience. I was totally enchanted by this world of quirky characters. I could have read the dialogue all day!

This is so cool! The atmosphere, the narrative, the characters, and the sound all left a deep impression on me. It's amazing!

I even went through it to the end! At first I thought that I would have to do everything myself and run very slowly, but it turned out not to be the case, so everything is fine. Well done for making such a complete game!

Woah! The atmosphere is through the roof! The art style is beautiful and music is great (as usual :D ). Everything worked so well together, amazing job!
