Good luck with further projects!
An issue is how large the game world is, it takes too much time to reach anywhere we want.
Keep up the good work!
Still, I like the horror aesthetic going on. ^^
Overall, really cool ambience, and I loved the combined idea of 'Wishtown', the stuff about the parents fighting, kid hiding in the closet... really moody and interesting. Would love to see this developed into something complete one day. All the best with it.
I've rebuilt the build, now you can safely play and replay our game without bugs!
I'm not into horror games but really enjoyed your game. The amount of areas suprised me as much as the quality of the small puzzles. Simple, but in a good way! Really enjoyed the mystery story. Not sure if I understood correctly, but what I think it was, I liked the small deep thought.
Well done!
I think you could play a bit more with the lighting, as the flashlight didn't really feel like it did a lot and i think not being able to see would add to the overall atmosphere.
Got stuck on the section after the sheep as I couldn't find the flashlight again.
Great to see the voice acting in, really added to the overall creepy experience.
I would appreciate more content to explore, but I understand the limitations of a game jam. Given the time constraints, you've done an excellent job. Great work overall!
I still went to the end and I'm not disappointed I did, excellent job :D
I felt like the mouse sensitivity in the opening sequence was way too low, it felt very sluggish. I liked the other sections though. The houses that always look at you and the giant flower that sometimes creeped on you was awesome, I really enjoyed those bits. I also liked that the pipe puzzle made you look up at the sky to see the creepy sun. I didn't think to look at the sky during the sheep part, but I liked the crying moon in the 'talk to the entities part'.
The subtitles went by a bit too fast for me so I sometimes missed some of the dialogue, and the stamina feature was a bit annoying since there wasn't really a chase sequence as far as I could tell, the gnomes didn't seem to be moving just generally in the pathway in front of me.
I wish some of the cool imagery from the trailer had been in the game, like the clown sitting with way too long legs. Overall pretty decent little horror, you got a lot of development done in a short amount of time! :smile_cat:
One point of critisism: I think the exhaustion mechanic was very annoying and unneccesary. It added nothing to the game for me.
Other than that, I liked it a lot. Again Impressive how many mini games you managed to get into the game in such a short time frame!
Definetly very high on the Mood scale :)
