This game uses the 'limited space' theme by only giving you a small game window to work with. Move it around to uncover clues and complete the ritual while avoiding the ghost.

Wow! Very interesting concept :)
The "aha!" moment is really cool and I'd love to see more mechanics tied to this

Great game! Dragging the window is a genius way to interact!

Great pressure with the limited vision after knowing "if you see it, you die"!

I have to be blunt. Man, my heart is not that great for it even though I main medic in Team Fortress 2. Keep up the work and surprise me more. Who is the leader here? I need to know

Really cool game! I love games that play around with breaking the fourth wall, so when I realised I needed to drag the game panel around my desktop I immediately got invested. The jumpscare got me every time, haha.

Excellent work on the minigames and overall concept, very creepy.

@mindhijacker We didn't really have a team lead, so I guess all of us? haha

This is great! The creepiness of it, and the minigames are great as well. I loved this game, very good concept!

Yeah that shit was actually scary. Great puzzle variety, it was great that they were simple, fantastic use of theme. My only complaint is that there usually seemed to be a safe button that didn't work and I couldn't figure out if that was part of the puzzle or not. Finally I got lucky enough to have a code with a repeating digit and then all the buttons worked. Really well done, and my favorite game by far so far!

oh boy that gave us a good scare! Very creative use of panning a window around! Never seen that before. Taking the art on the ritual spots a bit farther would have added to the immersion and feel of it. Overall i had a lot of fun playing this, really well done!

Most of the minigame sprites were lovingly created by my mouse and Microsoft Paint

I like the innovative interpretation of the theme. Great puzzles and minigames. I just didn't expect some jumpscares and really got scared(I would prefer some warning about these contents in the introduction page（；´д｀）ゞ ). The horror atmosphere is pretty nice and in total great job!

Pretty cool! Good use of the theme. I found that if I clicked on the safe graphic before trying to put in the code it would work. Good job!
