if you die on what i think is a dog when you retry it doesn't reset the dog and you instantly die upon entering the room,

Thanks Iefyo! I'm fixing and updating the builds now.

Beautiful art and game. I really like the style, the mood and the simple "storytelling".
Now of course it is short but still I played it twice just to see what would happen if I didn't kill those innocent ones :) . Well executed but yeah.. maybe too short ;)

Hmmm, I killed the dog, the old man (by accident) and (eventually) the monster but the end game message is 'deathcount: 6'. Nice style and music... wish I'd known Love2D could be run as a web app!

Hey there, found out you uploaded your game to love.ulydev.com and it didn't work. There was an issue with private games, which I just fixed.

Maybe you don't need it, after all, but I simply wanted to tell you about it.
Cheers!

Beautiful game, the art is great. Do you plan on continuing it? because I feel like with more content this could be a thing

slam_nine 2016-08-29 08:59

Hey, thank you @Ulydev! That will definitely make distributing love2d games on web a lot easier.

slam_nine 2016-08-29 09:10

Thanks for playing and feedback @Traf d-Lo! The death count tracks the player deaths, the wording might be too ambiguous. I did the web version with love.js, but love.ulydev.com should be a great way do it too. :)

slam_nine 2016-08-29 09:14

@pokenoufl I might keep working on it later. It shouldn't be too difficult to add levels now that I have the basic framework done.

Loved the art and the game overall. Great work. There's not much more I can say - it's a very solid entry.

indieyp 2016-08-29 13:25

Great art and narrative

rugbugredfern 2016-08-29 13:53

Great art. I enjoyed the gameplay, but it's pretty short.

bog13 2016-08-29 16:24

A bit short, but a really good experience. Nice graphics, nice controls, nice music : very nice game :D

geckoo1337 2016-08-29 21:26

Weird - I like it. Cool aesthetic ++

marekkpie 2016-08-30 01:31

Like the music and choice to have only red. Couple of weird glitches I noticed:

* Text staying visible after death;
* Repeated prompts;
* Old man could talk from beyond the grave oOoOoOo
* Blood particles when I reentered the dog room after dying.

That old man had it coming anyway.

Really beautiful and atmospheric! The forest monster was very scary looking, great job!

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description. (you can already find several games from the jam there)

Haha this game was hilarious! I loved that you can just choose to shoot that poor old man.

Played through it a couple of times to see what I kind of endings I could get. I managed to not shoot the old man and his dog, but the monster was unavoidable.

Great game, I had a lot of fun!

slam_nine 2016-08-30 09:26

Sure, @steph88. And thanks for the feedback!

seizar 2016-08-30 11:46

Awesome art with the black and white feel. I liked the narrative part, and I'm a monster I killed the dog :D

slam_nine 2016-08-30 12:27

Thanks for the feedback @MarekkPie! I'll keep those in mind when doing polishing.

@Geared Games Thanks for playing! I planned a pacifist ending too, where you don't pick up any weapons, jump in the mouth of the monster and get eaten. Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement it in the game. :D

@Seizar Seems like my evil plan of getting the player to kill that innocent little dog worked!

kyyninen 2016-08-30 15:26

I'm always up for a walk in forest. Mood was spot on and I loved the music.

janiq 2016-08-30 21:12

Game leaves very good mood impression. Music and controls are very good. Some gemaplay elements have errors for example still tells me about the bow when it was already taken. It can be fixed and also add more content. I would add more shades or colors to graphics because it is sometimes very good(boss) and sometimes it misses.

adafish 2016-08-30 22:52

I love the black and white look. It is very clean looking and the monster at the end is fantastic. I killed everything, because I am indeed a "monster." This was a fun short game, although I am confused by the gun. Well done.

monstersauce 2016-08-31 12:13

I killed everyone I'm a monster.
Love the black and white art style you went for!

sabina-lis 2016-08-31 13:10

I am happy, only sorry for the dog really. This is a great little game, i would love to play some more. The black and white art is awesome, the musics suits perfect, really well made, congrats!

sabina-lis 2016-08-31 23:20

This review is from my teammate, i'm just a messenger here: "Interesting game and concept. It has some Braid "feeling" and that's a good thing. I wish it was a little longer, and there's some bugs that don't distract from the overall experience. Good job! Keep working on it."

kai20 2016-09-13 14:11

Löve you. Now i am happy,
