There's something nice about the mood in this game. But it needs a loooot more context. Why does the character has to collect some dolls? Why do he has nightmares? Few lines of text at the beginning, or maybe some voices could have help. I felt that I just did'nt understand what you wanted to say with your game. The controls are a bit clunky, but time is limited, and making an animated playable character in three days is pretty hard, so that's not a real problem.
One last thing, the music sounds... well, really professionnaly recorded, and since you did'nt list any musician, I'm not sure you made it yourself. In this case, you should opt-out from the audio ratings.
Overall, that's a nice 3D immersive experience, but it would be better with a little more context or gameplay. Good job!
I was expecting to go into a horror game from all the visuals and the music but large static monsters are not particularly scary. The platform mechanic was alright although i felt it was quite repetitive as it is the only thing you do, jump around and get dolls from platforms that fall. Could have done with some more interesting level design. But overall it's a decent gamejam entry, plenty to improve but you did manage to create quite a lot in a short amount of time!
Had me hyped up at the beginning with its nice graphics and sound design, and the overall tone is really good too. Unfortunately despite that I think it's very lacking on the gameplay side - it gets repetitive too fast. Looks like with some more time you could do something really interesting!

Thank you all for your kind words and for play! We totally agree that a little more context and effort in the level design part would have been better. We will take it into account for our next projects! :3
Graphics and sounds is so awesome! You guys could definitely flesh out more of the game given more time. It got a little repetitive, but you can't really expect more from only 3 days of work. Really nice job!
Amazing graphics and sound, as some people said maybe we would love to know have more information but at the same time is a good thing (We want to know more jeje).
Good job guys!
Great mood, particularly with the character model and in the room. I felt the controls were a bit glitchy, but nothing that would distract too much from a pretty good game jam entry.
Very interesting premise and ominous mood.
The graphics are creepy, but the lighting is way too dark. Not in a spooky way but in a too dark to see anything way. I couldn't see anything in the starting area and I couldn't tell there was floor I could land on after the first platform. I thought I had to jump into the bottomless pit.
The level design is pretty non existent, I think this game could work better if the character was inside some closed environment with platforming sections. Running in a straight line over a bunch of clouds wasn't particularly interesting, and if you fell down before getting all the dolls, there's nothing you can do to win and the game doesn't end so it forces the player to kill themselves after a single mistake.
Good job putting this together in time with such a large team. Coordinating work like this is hard with a large group and you guys pulled it off
I really like all of the artwork here! Looking down when I was on the final layer of platforms and seeing the giant face looking up at me was a pretty good moment - not what I expected to see down there. Overall the game does a great job giving off the mood of an eerie, confusing nightmare.
I found moving in the air while jumping a little finicky, particularly when trying to strafe left and right after jumping - the character seems to move very quickly past where the camera is looking, making it hard to predict where the landing what going to happen. Some sort of shadow underneath the character to help determine where you'll land would have been very helpful for this too.
Nice
This is a nice game. I only think you could have stretched your talents more over the game. I mean, like 50% of the great assets and lightings are in the room at the beginning that you leave after a few seconds. Later the game design forbids to have a longer look at the scenery. There is a lot of potential i think.
Impressive that you got so much done in so little time, well done!
The game's mood is nice. I'd wish there were more obstacles and challenges.
- @randyrude Thank you for your comment! We really could made use of more time. - @muriel More context would have been great indeed, thanks for your feedback! - @peter-sc Yeah we had some problems with controls D: Glad you liked it! - @skleembof Hey that was a really interesting feedback. Regarding the fact you can't get the doll if you fall down was kinda intentional at first... we really lack of playtesting time to notice that wasn't interesting enough. Thanks for the feedback! - @joeyrosicka Glad you manage to get the mood we tried to give! Yeah the movement ended up little weird D: - @lecloow7 Much appreciated! - @unfinished Thanks a lot for your feedback, really useful indeed! - @mickxe Thank you pal! We really made an effort to achieve this - @tete Thank you! Nice feedback for a possible future update.
I love the spooky atmosphere! The bridge took me a few tries but I got it eventually `:D
