OMG i couldn't finish the game at first, I was so stressed. Then, I understood the "timing" and the room felt way more spacious ;) Great !
Had a hard time figuring out how to get the lighter. I had to watch the video someone posted on itch. I think the issue with the lighter puzzle is that it doesn't make sense why it would be there.
not scare
* changing panties
I liked the scary cover and pictures, but why did I die when I looked away? I wish there was a story at the start to explain the game.
Can't find the chalk
interesting game and its concept
Great theme and concept. Considering how many times I died it'd been nice if the end scream could be more varied.
its an amazing game, playing this game I felt scared yet interested to continue, the photo in black and white scared me, love the oldschool graphics and the sound amplified the scarines. The level design made me very claustrophobic but in a good way. I would play it again after I recover from being scared :)
Very atmospheric. Unfortunately, I did not understand what book I needed and could not find it to complete the ritual.
It took a solid 4 or 5 deaths before I realized why I was dying immediately while I tried to read my instructions lol. Once I got going I grokked the spirit thing though. I had a difficult time finding the things I needed and I didn't always understand what I needed to do with them but it was cool! Atmosphere is on point and I liked the use of the theme.
No web? No GNU/Linux? Windows-only?
Can't play ... too bad, it looked great :-(
The atmosphere is on point, very scary and well represented along with the retro graphics and the screaming sound. But I didn't understand what was going on and what I needed to do, I tried to read the instruction but I kept on dying before I could think of what to do next, which is kinda annoying. Maybe you guys should create an on-screen tutorial on how interact with things or make the instruction note more readable. And it would be nicer if the interactable objects have some kind of highlight on them, so they'd be distinct from other decorations in the room.
Overall, great horror entry, well done guys!
Unfortunately, it's more annoying than horrifying.
I dig the idea of the game and what you're going for, but it's much too frustrating. Thankfully, it's just little things that (I imagine) can be easily fixed for a much more enjoyable experience. First, the demon is much too aggressive. It killed me my first time playing because I was clicking the full-screen button. Which isn't needed because you can just use Alt+Enter. Perhaps have it be slow to pounce in the beginning and ramp up the aggression after performing a step or two? I found the note rather hard to read because it's in the corner and the vignette effect covers it up a bit. Perhaps you can have the left mouse-button bring up the card when the cursor isn't over an interactable object? Lastly, it was very difficult to find items because of their placement inside the dressers.

You will not believe how many times I missed this because of the angle I was looking from.
Fix these issues and this'll be a fun quickie of a game. Heck, you can even have the demon as-is if the other issues are fixed.
@killerb Thanks for the game and detailed comment!
The visual is nice, and for a two people is really good game! But i have a trouble, when i start the game in 5 sec i am already dead(
@tzeo Thanks for your feedback! Indeed, the demon begins to attack immediately after the start, you need to constantly move and not linger in one place. We should have added more explanation in the game itself as it is not obvious to the player.
cool game, keep up the good work
I keep running in a circle to avoid dying, clicking the cabinets as I do... but so far I've only managed to get chalk and draw the pentagram on the floor. I wonder where the candles are. I do enjoy the idea behind it, and overall how it's put together. :)
Good idea, but as mentioned by other players, once you start the game, you can die instantly without even realizing what you need to do.
I just came here to say that I was really scared of this game, I really was, so honestly I didn't download it, play it or rate it because of that. There really are symbols of black magic, I usually evaluate them in the early hours of the morning, I didn't want to risk a scare or be scared of going to sleep. You managed to scare me without even playing lol
gg no re
@lincolnsalles Hah, we tried to create a dark atmosphere, thanks for the feedback anyway!
@volkolak Since everything is already over or it seems (I'm starting to have doubts if it's still possible to evaluate but be counted as a vote) even at this point, I'm going to play and evaluate your game and see if the number changes. I hope I don't get scared.
@lincolnsalles Thank you! In fact, it is not so much scary as fast ;)
I had to watch the video to understand why I was dying all the time, but even watching the video I found the gameplay a bit confusing, but it's a great idea. I kept the sound low so I wouldn't be scared by my face. I'm glad you took it easy with the face image and didn't use a very scary one, thanks for that.
does not really change the voting results at this time But I realized that the karma of feedback given still increases...
