real nice atmosphere~ I think a bit more time on puzzles might be good for future games, the controlls are a little clunky, but the visuals really bring things back around, love the lights and mood. Solid work ^^

thanks, visuals are kinda my bread and butter

nice!

Awesome job! Really enjoyed the atmosphere with the ambient sounds and glowy lights.

Some really brilliant tension and atmospherics are begging to be brought to life here. The controls and camera are a little obtuse but I'd love to play more of this if you decide to continue work on it or something like it. Strong vibe overall!

The camrea work was great! The gameplay was simple enough and was interested to see how the story was going to playout. Short & Sweet (well maybe not sweet).

The creepy smile... it scared me... :) great job!

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I would have responded earlier but I went to bed at 4pm and just woke up lol

The graphics, music and mood was really good! Maybe it has something to do with my mouse sensetivity, but it felt too fast.

zackary-bazzle 2021-04-27 13:50

Thanks, that was probably my fault... I like high-mouse sensitivity

Also forgot to mention all the sounds came from here: https://mixkit.co/free-sound-effects/game/?page=2

I uploaded our gameplay of your game on youtube, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.be/watch?v=1F0Ywiy2Mt8&t=5506s

Thanks for being part of the stream, it was amazing! :smile:

I was afraid at the beginning that this game would be about jump scare but I'm glad I was wrong. I really enjoyed this adventure in the asylum. The story is well done, each level feels different and brings new game mechanics. I love your character design, they are cute and creepy at the same time: great combo.

The fact that my mouse horizontal axis was reversed really made it very complicate for me though, but it was not enough of a trouble to prevent me from loving the game.

Congratulation!

@togis thanks so much for the feedback, It was a lot of fun to be a part of the stream and I look forward to your new content

This was really really nice. It's impressive, how you created this atmosphere while using the ProBuilder texture sometimes. I think the best part here is really the combination of some features. The slow walking, the enemy animations and their behaviour, the lightning and the cutscenes. The end was truly scary, especially when the person did lie on the floor (I was thinking about the forest and was glad it didn't go on like that). You also managed to build up this expectation of the face being somehow weird, while doing the last cutscene. Only thing I want to poit out, is that the camera controls are not that pleasant. But all in all, really well done!

@acdia thanks a lot for the honest review of my game! I really appreciate all the great feedback and comments!

I liked the story and game, visuals were so good, but couldn't get past that my mouse reversed and I was just trying to get it right.

Creepy as hell. Great work on character design (that''s what made me open this game in the first place), but camera is a bit wonky (and I think inverted by default?).

zackary-bazzle 2021-05-03 12:37

@tinymeowstudio @maniulo Thanks so much for the feedback! There were quite a few bugs I didn't discover until later publishing the game. I would spend time fixing them, but I'm currently in production of another game right now and trying to focus on that project. Thanks a lot!
