A download link would be great!

tomeks 2018-08-14 07:37

Yep, downloads links are missing

nomys-tempar 2018-08-14 08:19

Thanks @sauski and @tomeks ! For some reason the link to the sources doesn't want to be displayed. Anyway it's a simple link to @leom itch.io then download the sources and all exe will be there.

I think you could use this game as a root to build some kind of horror or mystery/detective game, because the atmosphere, music and gameplay created some kind of uneasy feeling while I was playing the game, and yet I was captivated by it. Art is very attractive. :)

Although, for that reason, I was less focused on the "running out of space" aspect of the game, but not for a bad reason. :)

Well done!

The graphics are very good but missing animations. The mood is pretty good and the music is very fitting.

Congrats on finishing! The game has good atmosphere, but I found the game rather stiff and unappealing. It may be just me though. Maybe with some animations it would get a bit more fluidity. I'm sure there are people that will appreciate it more than me though!

Crashed on me after clicking "Yes" on third grave. This could be because of MacOS.

Thank you all for your comments !

@shozou : It's pretty normal, the theme of the game is rather dark, it's not fun to dig out graves to free space and dump the remains in a common pit...

@jakub-panek : It's fixed :)

I liked the very unique style of your game. The whole mood was really nice. I just didn't understood what I had to do and just walk around digging graves and all. Congratulation on making this game though, really liked the music which was relaxing.

nomys-tempar 2018-08-16 20:15

@mrsylar59 You have to dig out a precise number of graves by day and the remains go to the common grave at the end of the cemeterry. In the house (with left arrow) you can select a piece of paper on the office, on the paper there is the numbers and types of graves you have to dig. Thanks for the comment :)

I love those "This is the police" graphics. They are so minimalistic yet so detailed

Game had great mood! I was at first unsure of what I had to do. Art was beautiful, but I agree with other commenters, animations would have added to the visual appeal. Overall atmospheric little game :)

The graphics are good ! Too bad that there are no animations. The mood is really good and the music is a great part of it ! But I don't understand how to play.. I pick up body or tomb and I don't know where I can't put them to "make space" ? And maybe it's only for me but the employee doesn't appear when I'm in the house.. Waiting to play again with help.. Sorry !

nomys-tempar 2018-08-28 08:58

@lu7cie In the house, you can just select the paper (for day goals), the ledger (does nothing) and the exit. Bodies can be dropped at the common grave at the end of the cemetery.

lu7cie 2018-08-28 16:15

@nomys-tempar Okay thanks ! So I played again, sound design could gives to the game a bit of life because when there are timer, it becomes long.. I think the map is a bit too big for the goal of the game, because we need to cross all the cemetery to drop only one body at the common grave, and again, with the low speed of the character, it becomes really long.. It's too bad because the graphics are great, the idea is good and the mechanics are good too but everything seems very slow..

nomys-tempar 2018-08-29 10:30

@lu7cie I didn't have time to add sound effects and animations, it was the first time I was using godotengine for this kind of game, so the coding part was a challenge for me.

We wanted the game to be "unfun" in a way, long and taking for ever, to talk about managing a graveyard this days. And we wanted the map to be large and that you can be lost easily on it.

The game last 5 days, each days last 5 minutes (300 sec), so it's at best 25 minutes of gameplay, not that long ;o)

Great game! Very cool and Interesting! :D

I didn't understand how to play... Sometimes I could dig graves and sometimes I couldn't but it was not clear what the goal was.

But the atmosphere of the game was great. Very nice graphic style although it lacks animations.
