"This is the first time I have worked in a group, and it was pretty hard. I'm not good at programming but I managed to get out a prototype and i learned a lot so that went very well. I hope to do this again with this same team. Thank you and good play!" : @newan ( Programmation )

In general I don't want to have to "install" your game... Just provide the actual game itself so I can just unzip and play.

Hey, even without proper ending I really liked the mood of the game. Music and graphics are very cool, good job. ^^

On start, it shows an error message: "############################################################################################
ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object obj_resolution:

Invalid surface dimensions
at gml_Object_obj_resolution_Create_0

If I click "Ignore", the game works normally, although it starts in very small resolution.

I liked the gameplay and the design of the game very much. Good work.

I found it difficult to figure out what to actually do but I can still appreciate the effort put in

First off, I love the idea. This definitely has the potential to be a great game. I also got the error mentioned before, and generally dislike the fact that you have to install it (that might be a GM thing, I'm not sure). Could've used better instructions/indicators on how to play. The music/sounds and the art was great and the game overall felt quite humorous. Overall, nice job!

It has an error at the beginning that needs fixing and I didn't really understand how to play the game. On the other hand that art kicks ass! It's super minimalistic pixel art, love it! And the music and sounds make for a perfect spooky setting. Great job. Just needs the game mechanics finished and it could be great.

I'm on windows 7 and am unable to start the game properly. It's also, like, postage-stamp-sized on my screen. :/

Thanks for the lovely comments :)
And for those getting the Error Codes at the beginning:
Until the game get's patched, press the "Ignore" button, don't press the "Abort" button (which will quit the application)
If that doesn't work, then it can only be fixed with a patch. But thank you for the input!

The game is about postage stamp sized on my screen. I imagine it's supposed to upsize the pixel graphics? The screen shots look really good; I wish my eyesight were better so I could play it.

I haunted that house like a ghost-boss. Good concept! I like affecting the tv and toaster, and the screams of fright the guy makes! And when he runs to another room, jittering from fear... great stuff!

A couple errors did pop up, hitting the "Ignore" button seems to work.

Nice overall game, I loved the graphics (despite some bugs) :).

Note: I've got an error, but this doesn't seems to affect the game:

Too bad you guys didn't finish it, it is great already. Quite a worthy entry. I like the concept of human vs. ghost, and the gameplay idea is interesting. Lovely graphics.
