I liked a lot the overall graphics, even so trees and other elements kinda drove me out. The gameplay was quite simple and I got lost a bit but I managed to go through. Nice work.

The graphisms and mood of the game are really great! Sadly I'm bad with horror games so I didn't really managed to go far

I loooooooooooooooooooove the graphics, the chara design and the animations are crazy

You pull off the moody atmosphere really well and I love how creepy the monsters are.

The gameplay is a bit simple and repetitive, nothing wrong with it really, works fine and it's fun for the short duration of the game. I could really see this working as a full game if that was one kind of minigame and every night you played a different game to survive. But the art and the mood are just fantastic, loved the style you had going on, i'm a sucker for that finalized sketch sort of look, it's gorgeous and works perfectly with the music which is also very good. I'd like it better if i had to worry about at least one more thing other than just the wood i'm collecting and making it back in time to fix the treehouse because the monsters are a bit redundant, but even as is it's a great entry and i enjoyed it deeply, great job everyone!

I swear I didn't cry... I love the style and the enemies are super cool... I have to go to the bathroom...

Very moody game, designed very well! I loved the monster designs in this, and the graphics and music were fitting and nice :) The actual gameplay was okay, I think if there were more variety in ways to avoid the monsters it would be more fun to get the wood. Otherwise it's just making sure you turn in ways so they can't catch up to you. Still, great work!

I've recorded my gameplay so you can see a bit how people will probably play your game on the first time: https://youtu.be/nOA5Sh2Vx7k

Beautiful! I won but just barely. Great job on mood and atmosphere.

A perfect mixt between 2D and 3D, a stylised character that make her the cutest character of the jam and a perfectly done animation of her.

Definitely getting some "Don't starve" vibes from the graphics and monsters especially! It might help the core loop to have some other resource, maybe keep the power on to keep the monsters at bay?

Very visually pleasing game and love the mood. I'm glad the dad came back on time from getting milk to rescue me.

The mood and artstlye in this work great for setting the mood you wanna go for. The gameplay is simple yet captivating, I only wish the rain sound would be a little less loud, but other than that I think this is a pretty complete experience! Well done!

Wow! The atmosphere really blows you away. It would be nice if you had to get the lights, then a pillow, then wood, etc. for a little variety, but overall really enjoyed. Thanks for letting me play!

Man that treehouse felt cozy, and I adore the art of the monsters and the girl. Would have liked it if there was some additional complication that showed up as the night wore on or something, but it's a game jam, what can you do. Well done!

5 Star ! Absolutely 5 Stars ! The mood was perfect, the story was so compelling i felt so attached to character from the get go, i wanted her to survive so bad, i was screaming to my self "you won't let her die!", so much fun and so intense in such a short time, loved it so much, amazing game! Some Don't starve and Little miss fortune vibes XD

Wish it had a web version so more people would give it a try.

fat-cat 2021-10-07 07:02

@edevjogos I'll see what I can do about setting up a webGL build! I tried during the submission hour but got a bunch of errors, but maybe it's fixable ^^ Glad you liked it!

5 Stars for Mood, such a nice atmomsphere, that you have created! Gameplay was a little slow and repetitive for my liking but that is more of a personal preference.

steve7411 2021-10-07 12:28

Really great environment design and art. I also really liked the character design.

dj-depressive 2021-10-08 10:01

Really cool game! Loved the art-style and the mood. The volume of the rain, when I first launched the game, was a bit jarring but that's alright since you had settings to turn the volume down. The game feels very polished and all mechanics were well implemented. Reminds me a of *Don't Starve* which is nice. My one real complaint is that the game was perhaps a bit slow for my taste but that's just a preference thing.

Amazing work! Well done :)

ardorugus 2021-10-10 04:39

Feels like a good start for a proper full-play. There's a lot narrative hiding in there, not just on home/parent abuse. Loved the style! Thanks for the entry.

tatu-heinamaki 2021-10-10 10:23

Nice minimal storytelling - the premise is quickly and clearly dealt with! That and the moody environments really help to establish a sad and creepy atmosphere. Surviving was quite intense and hard so I did get myself killed by a large spider monster. The pressure from the collapsing treehouse would've been enough for me lol. Some tools to combat the monsters with could've also helped!

The art looks very nice and the atmosphere is so strangely peaceful. The 3D models are nice and spooky looking. It's great how you added story elements to it with the cutscenes!
