A really good game. The music and artwork are amazing, the gameplay mechanic of the ghost is intelligent and can lead to interesting puzzles and the story is intriguing.

The only problems are caused by the small working time (minor control glitches and a painfully slow character)

That was pleasant to play through! I spent quite awhile trying to figure out what to do after pushing the block of people into the hole until realizing I needed to restart the game to complete that puzzle. I had thought that the block of ice had cause the floor to become solid because I didn't notice what the switch did. Hope you keep working on the project, the mechanics could lead to some great puzzles!

Nice! Everything comes together to set a very heavy mood. A few things were a little unclear but not frustratingly so, and perhaps that made me feel just that bit more accomplished once I figured something out! c: Would have been good to spell out what the buttons actually do tho.

Bumped into two game-breaking bugs (character got stuck between two rooms once, and one time the block with people in it fell through the hole and disappeared and made progress impossible even tho I'd activated the switch) but that's LD for you~

The mechanic of having to redo everything after getting "wasted" is a bit frustrating considering how slow the character is, but the chapter was short enough that it didn't bother me too much after all. Just something to bear in mind if you keep adding chapters with longer levels, in which case you might want to add some checkpoints along the way.

My only big complaint is that I don't see at all how this follows the theme of "one room", which unfortunately brings down my overall score, which would have been higher otherwise. :c

Good job!

For some reason the unity web player would not load in chrome.

Great entry! I loved the graphics and sound and mood of the whole thing. The game play felt a little clunky however. I never knew if I couldn't interact with something or if I was in the wrong place, or it was glitched at some points. Regardless, i loved it.

i liked what the game suggested, I wasnt sure how it fit into the theme directly, but i liked your take on it. Controls seemed abit wobbly for me

Really nice overall atmosphere and polish! I had some trouble figuring out what to do at first but eventually I got the hang of it. It was a bit annoying to have to play a level from the start when I accidentally died later on tho. I think the movement could have been a bit faster to make replaying a level less tedious, or have it so you restart from the last entered scene. Overall really nice work tho!

Nice mood and atmosphere.

Found the walking animation to be particularly janky and there was also the occasional visual artefact at the bottom of the ghost's sprite. The idle animation was nice and smooth though. The world was nicely drawn and well stylised, but bad animations can really detract from the player's ability to appreciate the art, in my opinion.

I personally didn't find the gameplay to be particularly interesting and I'm afraid that I ended up getting stuck in a hole alongside a transparent person. However, judging by the other reviews that you've received, I'd say that perhaps this sort of game just doesn't appeal to me personally.

Well done, and keep making games. :)

Very nice puzzle game. Possessed mechanics are nice and moody and open a lot of possibilities to advance the mechanics, like bodies with different abilities for example.

pepejson 2016-12-15 17:27

Very good game. Very nice mood. You should write key controls

I really like the idea of ​​the game. The gameplay can be explored with huge puzzles! Due to the time the game has some bugs, but nothing that detracts from the experience. Congratulations!

Struggled with the controls a little, bit enjoyed the experience none the less. Excellent atmosphere and style :)

Start button doesn't work on the Windows version. But other buttons are working.
