The game seems to crash when I interact with the TV and Radio. Not going to rate it right now with crashes but I like the art style a lot :)

@S0lll0s yeah sorry about that, we're going to fix the game crashing bug

Cool! Moderately difficult, but insanely punishing. I'm not sure if my kill persisted, but I was loathe to take the time to figure it out. Checkpoints would be hugely welcome. But: art is good, game works great, view-casting is crazy good. I don't tend to have enough patience to make progress in stealth games, but I like it!

Neat stealth game! It's pretty tough, but I like the challenge. The AI seems to work well when distracting enemies. Music and sound would be a nice addition.

I appreciate the view-cones actually becoming obstructed. Pretty simple game, nothing particularly new, but it was nice. Cute & I'm always down for more stealth games

Graphics/animations are gorgeous, level design is solid and the game feels excellent to maneuver about. Shame I am so terrible at stealth games! Excellent job guys!

Good little puzzle stealth game. Would've loved if it had music and sfx.

Cute artwork. Always refreshing to see some non-pixelart 2d games. Interesting concept too.

Nice, works really well, lacks a little bit of audio. ^^

I love the art style, but this desperately needs audio. And a little more forgiveness with the vision cones. (In Metal Gear terms, there should probably be a brief "?" period before the "!")

As others have mentioned having some audio (even an ambient soundtrack and some sfx) would've pushed this from good to great. It would've also helped with knowing whether or not you activated the objects succesfully. The mechanics did work wonderfully though and the art was pleasing too. Took a few tries but I found the difficulty to be quite good since the game is so short.

We'll be releasing a more updated version on Itch. This version will contain audio, more levels and it will be less punishing in terms of games design... Or maybe we'll keep that element cause it seems to make people keep trying

It's not bad. The level design is a little bit too tight in places, so it requires grest reflexes. Like the others say it would've been better with sound. It makes me want to kill those little girls or whatever monster hunters they are.

That was fun to play, the graphics are nice. I don't know how many times I've died ^^ Fortunately I don't wear hat ^^
But a music and some sound effects would have been nice, sometimes I didn't really know when I switch on the radio.

Flawless mechanics and always fair - no matter how often they get me, I always want to try again. The graphics are really nice, too!
