Whoa! Amazing project.
It is annoyngly slow to move her (great anim cycle, btw) but it just adds to the tension. The balcony scene on day 3 just chilled me to the bone! Impressive depth.

If there was a sixth star for "Mood" you would have gotten it.

I was playing a few games from LD while my girlfriend was with me. This is the only one that she actually wanted to know what was going on. She's not a gamer. This means a lot. Amazing work!

Amazing!

Wow. Impeccably designed. Moving story. Heart-wrenching themes. Well played.

I like your game a lot! I've get goosebumps like mountains because of the story and atmosphere. The Music, the sounds, the graphics, just everything was well done. Thank you for this one!

Very good art and mood! I'm still a bit unsure about what all was happening.

Very mysterious.
It held my interest for its duration.

Simple amazing. Reminds me a little of Roman Polanski's "The Tenant" (especially the teeth).

I used to live on the seventh floor of an apartment in the 10th in Paris, and our neighbor was a strange old man. We never spoke to him, he was shy and avoided us (especially he would not look at my girlfriend). At night, usually quite late, we would hear him bellowing: he would yell in a language we couldn't understand, not angrily but more like someone very proud having an argument with God. I wonder what demons shared his apartment.

Also, I thought the music was interesting. The only people I ever saw playing that music were Rom buskers on the subway; so while it reminds us of "gay Paris", it is in some ways a very lonely song.

I agree with everyone else about the look of the game. I think this will easily be in the top 25 overall.

Also! Loved the whispering neighbors!

Everything is amazing!

This was a very dark story but kept me interested all the way through. I think the moment that got me the most was watching the TV and not having time speed up.
Great style and great atmosphere.

I really enjoyed playing your game. I liked the part where she turned into a monster and started walking really fast. That scared me a lot. The Art, Mood and the Audio is so well made. I was expecting a jumpscare but there wasn't. Thank you for that.

Incredible use of mood, interesting story and a ton done for a game jam. I'm not 100% sure I understood what happened, though xD

A masterpiece of mood! The visuals are stunning and the story together with the haunting soundscape creates a dense atmospheric experience. Just amazing and fascinating!
