Cool trailer. I installed the game but it would not run. There was a percentage at the bottom of the screen that got to 17% but did not move from there. It also slowed my machine down a bit. I was playing a video (actually your trailer) and i noticed the playback was slower while trying to load your game. Too bad looked like it was fun from the trailer.

Good artistic work! I think that with more polishing and integration in the textures with the 3D models it would look much better. Perhaps with a more integrated color palette and lighting effects it would create a more immersive environment. The feeling of the game is good, the idea of ​​being a revelde apprentice is fun xD

Not sure if I am missing something. After collecting the key and the mandrake, going in every room I could, and reading every letter I could, there was nothing to do? I could not find any spells or anything.

Unfortunatelly didn't quite get how to progress in game. I could only find start key and mandragor. Every door is locked. Big door is non-interactable. Probably I am missing something but I can't interact with anything else... What should I do?

@uniowl The second key is in kitchen (left door from the main gate if you stand in front of it).

I enjoyed the story and the lore in the summon scrolls. That second key was hard to spot. I was about to give up on it but found it eventually. Shame you can't go disastrously wrong with messing up a summon, they just don't happen if you are missing something. A list of what you have already picked up would have been nice. I did notice if you start a new game after winning, your inventory is not reset.

@uniowl The second key is located near mandrake on the cabinet.

stupidhobbit 2024-04-16 15:09

@someone Thank you for a detailed review and bug reports. Second key is a problem, unfortunately, we forgot to fix it

I'm always amazed when seeing an actually good-looking 3D-game, great work!

dandee 2024-04-16 17:28

Really cool particle effects and art style, well done y'all!

klemen 2024-04-16 22:13

The widnwos defender block me from playing it lol

zanar 2024-04-16 22:28

The game crash just after reading the note from the teacher. Can't really play it. I'm soooooooooooo saaaaaad :'(

valcka 2024-04-16 22:29

A very beautiful game, unfortunately we cannot play from the master's message. I'm waiting for you to be able to send a version without this bug to rate you better because the game really looked nice!

stupidhobbit 2024-04-17 06:34

@zanar @valcka Hello, sorry to hear that, but we can't reproduce that. Can you record a video with that problem?

stupidhobbit 2024-04-17 06:37

@klemen That is okey, I think it does that for all games. You still can allow it to run though

derllie 2024-04-17 11:48

you did a great job, really, i like everything!

lelek-hunor-kadosa 2024-04-17 12:27

I love the idea. I would like a list that shows on the hud what I have found so far. I always forget what I've picked up so far.

unfrog 2024-04-17 19:09

Mouse sensitivity is very high and made it harder to play, would super appreciate a slider or slowed down movement.

kseniya 2024-04-17 21:32

Good job, it was fun to play this!

tetrergeru 2024-04-18 20:49

Wow, that's a lot of content for a single jam entry! Also appreciate the linux build.

3d looks pretty nice, pentagrams are great! Player controller is pretty responsive. Inventory would be useful, and maybe somesort of guide for people like me, who really struggle finding all the necessary items :sweat_smile:

olsonexi 2024-04-18 23:45

Very impressive that you were able to do something 3D within such a tight time limit that looks and plays this well. It seems like you might have forgotten to rename some of the items at some point (if anyone else is stuck on Hastur's amulet like I was, you actually need to find Cthulu's amulet for that), and some of the dialog could use a bit of a grammar check, but otherwise the game feels pretty well polished. The narrative/gameplay concept seems intriguing, and I would be very interested to see a post-jam version that fleshes this out more and actually goes somewhere with it.

tryam 2024-04-19 19:45

Unfortunately, I didn't fully understand what to do in the game. I wandered around the rooms for a long time and found only one key)

anifan-gelati 2024-04-19 19:47

It's a fun puzzle. But I'm a little silly to do it, sorry.

pacelin 2024-04-19 19:47

I found one key, I found mandragore, but what next... I don't know. I like visuals, but you could be try something with lights for better experience and use it for mark usable items

air-dinghy 2024-04-23 07:33

Game looks great, but I wasnt really sure what to do
