I like the graphics effects and the atmosphere is a nice and spooky. Looks like you didn't have much time to flesh out your idea but I like this demo you made.

thank you!

THE ENDING IS SO GOOD.

I had a lot of fun playing this one. The visual effects are very impressive! The character controller was nice and smooth, too. You've definitely got some good tech to build a bigger, more complex project off of!

The bit where you see the room full of crates like yours was a good, creepy twist. Excellent atmosphere across the board, and as I said... The ending truly is priceless C:

Keep up the great work!! :D

I really like visual style. Jump scare was pretty creepy! Cool game!

I love ps1 like horror games so to see you were able to make one with the theme rocks!

Very cool aesthetic! You pulled off that sense of retro unease very well. Reminds me very much of the creator 'Kitty Horrorshow'. Well done!

A scary and a bit fun little game. Love the visuals, sound effects and the games atmosphere. Well done.

Fits, the theme and has a very creepy atmosphere. Nice job. It kind of ends abruptly though. Was the game supposed to close on its own?

@jk5000 thank you :)

highskies 2023-05-05 18:54 ♥ 1

@koyaaaa no it was meant to have a another scene but the build i uploaded was broken unfortunately :(

Very nice mood here, and I had a laugh or two, good job !

@highskies i only watched the video, graphics looks awesome

ponygirlluna 2023-05-06 06:48 ♥ 1

That is a very impressive game for 24 hours of work! The atmosphere is fantastic and the graphics take me right back. Movement and controls feel good, too, and the ending was excellent. I was even expecting the ~~jump scare~~ and you still got me with it. Bravo!

I would very much like to see the extra scene, as the one note I did have was Koyaaaa in that it closed abruptly (but I had also guessed that it may have just been end-of-game intentional. But now that I know, I would love to know, you know?

Anyway, that was a great experience. Thank you!

The atmosphere is hellish. I love it.

On point with the theme, and love the story around the theme

Great game! Really like the PSOne-like art and I really liked the ending! That one was great.

Great visual style, especially the texture filter that creates the screen flicker effect. It creates a strong sense of oppression during the game and I couldn't finish it all because I felt too scared. Maybe it's because I'm too timid, but that just proves the charm of this game. You've done a great job of creating a terrifying atmosphere.
