I really liked your game. You did a great job and did a great job!!!

This is very innovative in my opinion and I really liked it! Unfortunately I am not a native english speaker so I had to do a couple guesses :P

I'm so bad at it! But I liked the atmosphere!

This was very solid guessing game! I liked it a lot.

I really enjoyed this one! Very simple concept with beautiful polish, bravo! It really needs a give up / reset button though, I kept having to reload the page, because I'm apparently bad at guessing words, but I wanted to keep playing.

As a non native speaker of english it was hard even on what I assume is the easiest level (IMP). nevertheless, it was fun trying to guess the name of the demon.

Thank you everyone for the feedback! We're glad you've liked it :)

@aameliebernardd @thekatmol yeah that's the thing about word games they definitely need translation/localization, unfortunately we didn't have enough time for it. Maybe post-jam version...

@ditam I was thinking about the "give up" option, but I think one of the fun parts is getting stuck for a bit and then having a moment of inspiration and making a breakthrough. I'm gonna think about it again and weigh all the pros and cons of adding it in the post-jam version. Thank you very much for bringing this up!

Was hard for me to find the names, but nice atmosphere and idea, well made!

I really love the idea. It reminds me of a saying from Jahan in *Divinity: Original Sin 2* - "**A demon's true name is its weakness**". Though, it is quite difficult for me (not native). Perhaps adding more hints and clues and some constraints on words and spelling would help.

The graphics really helped to create the ambience! Was quite difficult to guess even on the IMP level, but being non native english speaker must have contributed to that. But overall very nice and well made game!

i didnt get what am i supposed to do in the first place but then i realised its something like wordle and things got interesting.. the idea is quite simple and can be explored in different ways, well done!

Cool game, very replayable. The rules are simple, but fun. The game was a bit harder for me, as I'm not a native English speaker, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

As someone who regularly plays word games in English, I had a lot of fun with that. Definitely found myself speed-typing and trying to remember what letter combinations I'd eliminated!

Nicely executed, tight game with a fun take on the theme. Good job!

Good guessing with the ouija board. The graphics and sound go well together for this type of game.

English is not my mother tongue and my vocabulary is very limited... I wasn't able to fully enjoy the game.

But I really enjoyed the rest of it, well done!

Very cool idea. I have an average level of English, but nevertheless I managed to catch the demon. The decoration adds atmosphere, especially this candle. I would also like to add more versatile musical accompaniment. Overall it turned out very cool!
