This is a fun idea! I really love the whole vibe you have going on with it. Great job :)

I felt like I was fishing paranormal entities in stardew) maybe sounds were kinda confusing, constantly was trying to find a printer and phone to interect. Would like to see more of this, perhepse some others levels and/or mechanics. For the first time playing for some reason was difficult to realize what exactly i had to do to keep the radio device at the right frequency so I died, and after a dark pause I could not interect with anything, not sure if it supose to work like that. Start the second round only after reload itchi.io page. It would be helpful to see instructions on what to do after death, or at least reload game button. Like environment and design. Good work)

@sashunyar That's exactly what inspired the minigame! The fishing mechanic of Stardew Valley. You have a good eye! hahahah Yeah the web build has this bug but the Windows build doesn't.

Came here to say the same as Sashunyar, WebGl build needs to restart after each game. Nice ambient and game! Pretty simple to play but the atmosphere was BRUTAL! Great entry!

I jammed out to the song, and the concept is pretty fun.

the visuals are very well made as well as the sound design, I love the concept of spirits being stuck inside of the vinyl records!

kimday 2024-04-16 17:51

Really gorgeous game ! Really like the graphics and the audio, the ambiance is out of this world ! However as a vinyl record enjoyer I must point out that there are no records being played on this player :sweat_smile: (only the platter)

I really liked the game congrats :clap:

khofez 2024-04-16 18:21

@roughskin @sashunyar I fixed the bug so you don't have to refresh the page after the game is over!

2024-04-16 18:21

i like the visual, but unfortunately the game its to short

khofez 2024-04-16 18:23

@kimday Thanks! Yeah, the record player was just to reverse play the disk and "summon" the entity, it's like those stories about music playing in reverse spelling subliminal messages... well it's an oversimplification hahah But I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Interesting game! I like it!

montymoneybags 2024-04-16 23:49

The visuals in this game are so strong and it's a fresh idea too!

I didn't understand the controls at all, even after I carefully red the tutorial two times. Like, how the orange bar is controlled? It doesn't look like it reacts to mouse, just moves left and right. Also, now when I died once, I don't have access to tutorial anymore, even after restarting the game.

On my second time playing the little bar thing didnt move at all. I love the environment, it looks really cool and the sound design is also great. I am surprised I thought of clicking on the buckle thing on the case, there was not really any indication for it.

Very very very good game with amazing graphics and atmosphere. Love it!

bowen 2024-04-17 16:04

Not Bad! Your game has good graphics and fluent animation, but it's short of gameplay, you should make it more content.

rensun 2024-04-17 16:58

Very cool gameplay and graphics!

telkan 2024-04-17 19:41

Visually fantastic, and the atmosphere is top notch! Really good entry, good job!

willhoit 2024-04-18 19:22

Nice little mini-game - wanted more!

danyclockworker 2024-04-19 19:55

Good graphics and style, but I found the learning curve or reaction to the action lacking. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose (but it’s not clear why).

ionbingo 2024-04-21 00:18

This really captured how I felt this morning on Record Store Day

durkagames 2024-04-21 00:19

Nice graphics but i didnt undestand what I have to do, cause once one demon was exorted the second one has the same princip. Anyways, good entry!

hadik 2024-04-22 11:21

Engaging concept with stylish visuals and intriguing gameplay, though clarity on mechanics and some control issues need addressing. Great atmosphere!

iolis-lui 2024-04-22 18:00

the creature looks like Hermeus Mora from Skyrim - it's cute))

ildfuglen 2024-04-28 10:23

Super cool. The creature is so derpy haha

Interesting idea, I like the atmosphere and the ambient tone, it definitely adds a nice touch to the game feel. For me the main gameplay felt pretty unintuitive, and I didn't really understand the controls. My guess as to what was happening is that clicking the button made the slider reverse directions, but I feel like the tutorial paper wasn't clear in describing that behavior. I think a more direct tutorial (i.e. click LMB to reverse slider) would help a lot with this. Pretty neat idea though, nice job!
