However, can't get to the end as game have crashed when I've entered room full of beds.
Also, check out our game "Deep ribbit"!
I was quickly stuck after the first dialog nothing seemed to interact despite the hand icon showing.
How do you play? What did I miss?
Nice ambiance though.
But when I died of a lizard (in the wooden chambers), and spoke to the blue-eyed potato-man, the game crushed :(
Anyway, I really enjoyed! Thanks!
- Beautiful atmosphere
- Hilarious script (I was amazed how well the spooky horror style combines with the humorous dialogues)
- Great visuals
- Nice take on the time
So enjoyable, well done! :v: :potato:
If you like constructive feedback, some minor things:
- Maybe include a button to toggle running, I felt the player was a bit too slow
- Also some sort of a minimap, or more distinct areas would have been helpful as I often found myself a bit lost
Anyways, thanks for the experience!
I got a game breaker here.
Thank you to everyone who played our game, and especially to those of you leaving comments. It is thanks to your feedback that we managed to track down the issues causing the game to crash.
The issues has now been fixed and the game should be completeable without any problems.
Thank you again, and we will see you in LD 49!
Here's my playthrough: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007430228?t=2h40m19s
My only gripe would be the slow crawl of the credits, but I guess its the slomo view out of my jar.
A nice humor/horror-game, not usually a fan of "sneak-around"-games but still liked this one.
Good gfx and well made audio, what's not to like? :wink: Congrats!
Very beautiful, but at a cost. My gamer laptop could barely run it, and it crashed at the end :sob:
I got lost easily and didn't understand that doors where doors for a while! Thanks that my Wife was next to me and force me to go click one :) I think this could be avoided but having a handle on the door maybe? or buying a new potato brain for me, either way :smirk_cat:
That was interesting to play.
Here is my Video Playthrough of your game, I hope you enjoy
