Really enjoyed this. Quite polished, the aesthetics reminded me of the Deep Sleep series. Well done.

Outstanding job building the atmosphere! Interesting game, I feel bad for playing it while half out of it from lack of sleep. Great job!

Wow, that was great! Great mood, very fitting graphics and execution, lovely design and good sound & music . And, of course, the story told through gameplay. Reminded me a little of "Home". I got a little frightened (which speaks for the atmosphere). Really enjoyed this. incredible work for 48 hrs -- kudos, my friend!

A little buggy at some walls, but otherwise a great atmospheric piece.

conormn 2015-08-24 17:45

Great vibe, really well done for a weekends work!

Amazing work. It's so atmospheric owing to the excellent audio and graphics. Very impressed with how polished it is. A great take on the theme.

Beautiful! I loved the graphics, and the music! The story was intense, too, and the difficulty felt just right.

vividhelix 2015-08-25 04:43

amazing mood and really loved the graphics!

The one thing I'm most curious about is who wrote the note telling you about the key and medicine.

druhinm 2015-08-25 05:59

Enjoyed it

woodenrabbit 2015-08-25 06:23

It was very scary for me (but also very good). Nicely done :D

zacharyd 2015-08-25 07:15

Great atmosphere! I was scared :P

collaboration 2015-08-25 07:15

Wow, looks really cool, love this filter, and comfortable control!

jnyknn 2015-08-25 07:18

This game has a spooky atmosphere, and that's a good thing! I love the simple pixel art, it fits the game perfectly.

caspila 2015-08-25 07:22

I thought the game was loaded and clicked in the image *facepalm*

The soundtrack reminded me of Chrono Trigger and that's amazing. Really solid entry. Great graphics, great mood.

I was waiting to see how you'd turn the little boy into a monster and I was not disappointed. Intriguing!

Hi,
what I liked :
- Amazing atmosphere (graphics + sound + effects)
- Pretty graphics
- slow revealing of story with large place for interpretation
- polished with a proper ending
What imo could be improved :
- some actual enigma, even simple (it's more exploration and tries than thinking there)
- Wall glitches
- text popping sound end to be annoying
Almost perfect entry, awsome work here !
Thanks for the game =)

Holly shit! I was quite afraid when the kid started having visions. Really well done game, loved the inmersion! And the paintings on the walls were astonishing, as well as the music.

I felt like the plot was a bit forced in the end, but i loved it a lot until you found the monster!

rotpar 2015-08-25 21:34

Interesting game.

rodobodolfo 2015-08-25 21:35

Wow, awesome presentation! I love it. There was some intense parts!

kevinworkman 2015-08-25 21:39

This is a cute game, but I'm very bad at this "poke around randomly until you find the thing" types of games. I couldn't even find the key!

corupta 2015-08-25 21:46

Very nice atmosphere and definitely had a creep factor to it, great job.

disperse 2015-08-26 03:17

The mood was spot on, the music really helped.

powerspark 2015-08-26 03:24

This has great aesthetics and mood! Continue making things like this.

ryusui 2015-08-26 07:28

That was intense. Very reminiscent of the original Silent Hill games, or Corpse Party. Atmospheric and, frankly, terrifying. XD

pkenney 2015-08-27 05:16

Wow, great job creating a really creepy mood, that was well done. The graphics, the pace, and the sound really came together, and the escalation of tension left me feeling uneasy in a good way. Nice job!

peterthehe 2015-08-27 07:03

Great music and mood. Very much Among the Sleep.

xeke_death 2015-08-27 07:57

That was creepy as hell!!! Loved it!!!

parsia 2015-08-27 08:00

nice work. great music. great narrative. well done.

popcorn897 2015-08-27 17:54

This game manages to create a really creepy atmosphere with pixely 2D graphics, and I love it. The sounds and the visuals are all very good at immersing you into this little child's mind on a dark night. The ending was creepy, but also sad. I enjoyed it very much, Nice job!

tackorama 2015-08-27 18:34

Excellent chilling atmosphere and great story. Needs more explorations and interactions. But otherwise outstanding.

dramentiaras 2015-08-27 18:40

Great mood, the game looks great. It sort of creeped me out a little bit. The atmosphere was great.

archonthewizard 2015-08-27 19:35

Great job setting the mood. I'm not sure what happened. But I definitely liked it!

theziggy 2015-08-27 19:54

Speechless. Great Game!

maramasa 2015-08-27 20:05

Great game with an eerie atmosphere with complimentary visuals and audio to reinforce it. Great work! :D

patacorow 2015-08-27 20:05

The atmosphere was perfect and the filter was fitting
Great job.

aberdeenphoenix 2015-08-27 20:22

Wow. That was really, really impressively creepy. Fantastic work.

arzi 2015-08-27 21:24

Really atmospheric game and the story worked well even though the theme kind of spoiled the ending. Well done!

crucknuk 2015-08-27 22:31

Audio and story are quite polished. This is a good game. The atmosphere is just wow. Good job!

spotco 2015-08-28 08:01

WOW! Usually not a fan of these walk-around-collect-item-read-story kind of games, but this one was especially atmospheric.

teejay5 2015-08-29 07:43

Seriously this is so good. You should totes expand on this!

fafastudio 2015-09-04 22:23

Very nice game ;) would like to see what you can do with a long version :)

skullpixel 2015-09-04 22:29

Wow. I'm not sleeping tonight.

Very good though. Thank you for not putting a screamer at the end. ;)

axoona 2015-09-04 23:15

very intriguing story and excellent atmosphere. I really liked this game!

drauthius 2015-09-04 23:19

Exceptional entry! Very nice environment and different experiences. Quite scary as well. :)

t4u 2015-09-05 11:35

Liked the moment when blood started appearing(great mood) but overall I dont get the plot.

randoman 2015-09-05 14:14

I like the mood of this game. In the end I couldn't find the key, but just walking around was nice.
