Music and graphics are very good, but that camera bounce when walking made me motion sick, so i stayed i one place and drew things on walls with lipstick. 10/10 would puke again.

A good walking simulator, it had me tense because I was expecting to be chased at some point!
Got confused 10/10
No but.. Nice little game! Didn't think that I would get the book. Just as I was about to quit, suddenly *book*! :D
Got out in time too!
I really like the soundtrack!
Overall the game was kind of boring tbh. The mood really did it for me though; the flavor text, soundtrack and graphics.
Hope you had a fun time making the game =)
Thanks for your thoughts, @glaze_96 :) I'm glad you got to the end!
I realized that the game can get to a boring point after a while, but it was too late to try to fix it. :(
I guess the game needs some interactivity and more things going on while the player is exploring the dungeon, looking for the book. I'll work on that on my post-LD version.
Great Game, really great mood, the game had me and I found the book, but then he got me :(
Nice Music, it was over pretty fast but that short bit was good.
Awesome! Took me a couple of tries to beat it, felt a little too random and quite luck based, but I could be wrong, the clip clop was getting to me.
tense got out by luck rather than anything else. Not sure how the lipstick helped tbh.
That eye thingy is scarry. I like the game. Too bad i didnt find the exit in time. Nice horror game!
Good compo !
I got eaten before exiting :( quite fun, nice details and feel.
Lipstick gave me the impression I was getting mad, like in the movie Cube or something.
Will play post LD version !
(also, I went through something it was like a wall but looks like a monster body part, maybe I wasn't supposed to try to go through ?)
I'm glad you enjoyed it, @EdoMiyamoto! Thanks! :)
Yeah, you were actually supposed to go through that body part. I tried to add some cloth physics to make it more obvious but I don't know why I didn't get the desired visual effect and it ended looking as if you were just going through a pink wall.
Lucifer Antichrist, this game is amazing. I loved the non-euclidean structure.
Honestly I got bored while playing it, but I am amazed with the way you have done the graphics. There is a lot of chance to extend it, though. Good luck :)
The game surely created a tension and was interesting to play through fully. I expected to be jumpscared or chased at some point. However i personally think that the music dont really fit the atmosphere the game created.
Good stuff, the look and feel is great and you can dive straight into the gameplay. It's nice sometimes to not have to master complicated controls or mechanics.
As you've said in another comment, the game could gain from more interactivity and if the body parts could give more feedback (heart pulsating, ribs shaking), it would make their discovery more satisfying.
Thanks for the feedback, @SeaMonsterGD. I have to say that I tried to add animations to the body parts. I had a pounding heart, but I wasn't able to import it properly into Unity, and decided that I had to use my time to more important parts of the game. I will do that in the future, for sure. :)
Really really good game! graphics were great, the walking mechanism was wonderful, and the soundtrack was good as well. It definitely gave me the chills (I'm extremely easily scared). I got the book... but completely forgot my way out. I was so scared of the giant lizard eyes...
It took me a little to realize how this fits with the theme, so that could have been more sought out.
Overall it was a great game! I hope I had more time in the end to run for my life... Lemme go try again lol.
The lizard eyes though. Too scary. ;)
Very atmospheric, games like this always end up creeping me out. The red messages and sound effects kept me tense, waiting for some jump scare that didn't come, making it even more tense. Completely surprised by the book at the end, and the exit I ended up taking. Not sure if all my lipstick marks helped at all, if I just got really lucky.
Really nice ! too much shaking but awesome design and the lipstick ide is really cool !
I really liked the idea
Love the fact that the maze is inside the monster! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/F-G7DKrQW4g
Man, that was awesome! I loved the tone of the game, I'm kind of a weenie, so it was super scary, even though I knew there were no enemies. Great job, you created a really cool, esoteric, eerie game that was actually quite challenging. I loved it!
That was pretty enjoyable! I love exploring 3d spaces, and the shifting and lipstick mechanics were clever. I found that the game became a little grind-y later on, as I couldn't get beyond the secion(s) after the bridge, so I ended up running around rechecking everything over and over, which always breaks the suspense in these games a little bit. I know the idea is to feel lost, but the tension wile playing the game can break quite quickly this way (spotting the eye for example - spooky as hell at first, but after running by it for the 5th time, it lost it's edge :P )
I really enjoyed your graphics and mood, though there were a few things that diminished it slightly. Text popups like "heavy breathing" take away a little from the sound of the heavy breathing. You could've probably darkened things a little too, if you wanted a little more of that fear factor. Lastly, I really enjoyed the music track, but didn't really feel like it quite fitted into the game. A little too upbeat in places.
In any case, sorry for the stream of consciousness here, but I enjoy these kinds of exploration games, Good job!
Very stylish, loved the environment and the lipstick mechanic, although the latter didn't stop me from getting lost... Still managed to escape though!
Thanks for the feedback, guys!
@Jimjam, I am aware of some of those things, and I will definitely have your feedback in mind when I work on my post-LD version. Regarding the music, I wasn't fully convinced, but that was the best track that I could get from abundant-music.com. I didn't want to leave the game without any background music. :P Also, I think the music should change to a tense-chasing mood when you get the book and the countdown starts... but 48 hours are 48 hours
I like the music, sound effect and graphics a lot.
I fall from the map two times, and the camera shacke was a little weird for me, but great mood and atmosphere, and nice style overall!
Love the idea of exploring 3d changing spaces.
Nice entry!:)
Very nice. Good controls implementation and an interesting mechanic.
Cool ! The nice looking graphics make a perfect atmosphere and the sound is sober but effective. We like what you did with the theme ! Your game is absorbing and well made. We'll try to get away with the necronomicon again for we got eaten everytime ...
Wow, it's very polished. I personally didn't like for the exit door to change, it makes it impossible to win when you have to go back
Nice!
I was expecting some danger, but the idea of a labyrinth that changes is neat. Not sure how the lipstick was supposed to help me, but fun nonetheless!
Great Mood and art. I got very lost! The lipstick mechanic was very cool and I enjoyed marking out where things were.
The camera shake is a lot but I would not change it because it adds to the mood!
I was playing your game, and realized i was having a good time, so, congrats :)
Very good! I escaped with the book! :D
Interesting mechanics and very fun.
Also great mood, graphics and audio!
I have spent more time playing this game than originally intended. Great game.
Covered the walls in lipstick, couldn't find the book. Creative use of the theme. Made it feel a bit like the "Inside Jabu Jabu's Belly" stage from Zelda 64. Well done.
Keep on hunting the dragon ! :)
