That laugh... I really like the graphics and the atmosphere of the game. Just lacking maybe some feed back before dying to try to escape. Well played and very nice game.

крутая игра, жаль что я боюсь всех игр которые похожи на хоррор

Really amazed by the art direction ! Great idea of concept guys :smiley:

It's a very interesting idea and I think it could make a great horror movie. And so it was exciting to play and quite atmospheric)

I love the art style, it obscures things just enough to promote you learning the layout over multiple attempts. Although to that end, an option to reset on a gameover would be a good QoL.

As an aside, the parents must be quite trusting to leave handling the chicken dinner to their (presumably) young child.

The idea is really cool, and graphically it's a real success, bravo!

The aesthethics are very _very_ nice. Cool game

Wow!!! I was really pleasantly scared at the end. The gameplay was exciting. Excellent soundtrack and artistic style. You guys are cool :3

Cool concept and nice art direction. A bit confusing at first but there's an interesting idea here! Congrats :)

Huh, nice, good idea ❤️

You have designed a great website for itch! I like it!

About the game. It is a great idea with "close your eyes", like in "Before Your Eyes", do you know it?))

But... I didn't understand what shall I do to escape the monster, even eith closed eyes(( They don't leave for a very long time, and it is a little boring, because youare justsitting with the pressed space bar.

Really liked the art, the gameplay is really cool, congrats !

It was fun, and I really like the mood and art design, but I gave up after few tries, it seems I'm not good enough to finish the game and having to hard restart instead of just click on a restart button is a little boring. However, I will maybe give it another try later, as I like the game, and I think I did not yet understood well how the monsters "works" (sometimes I had the feeling that they stays even when I'm hiding for long, but other times I could move again without being caught just seconds after…). Good job anyways!

Wouahou! Le gameplay est atypique. Je suis une trouillarde, alors j'avoue que ce n'est pas forcément fait pour mes nerfs ahah (ça marche très bien sur moi, le noir et blanc et la musique de Macleod sont parfaites pour générer l'ambiance inquiétante). Avoir mis les items à récupérer en rouge est très utile, on les repère bien dans le décor. Quelques remarques pour vous aider à améliorer l'ensemble : - J'ai eu du mal à repérer / lire les objectifs (en blanc, ils disparaissent avec quelques éléments du décor) - J'ai eu du mal à identifier ce qui était quoi, dans les objets à récupérer (et donc où les poser) - Il y avait un objet au sol (une petite voiture en jouet ? ou bien des cubes ?) que je n'ai jamais pu ramasser - Je ne suis pas certaine d'avoir, à chaque fois, repéré ce qui déclenchait le game over, parce que parfois, j'ai pu attendre très longtemps de me cacher les yeux après avoir rencontré un monstre, et d'autres fois pas du tout.

Dans tous les cas, bravo pour ce jeu, j'espère que vous aurez l'occasion de l'améliorer :slight_smile:

Wow! The gameplay is atypical. I'm a scaredy-cat, so I admit that it's not necessarily for my nerves ahah (it works very well on me, the black and white and Macleod's music are perfect for generating the eerie atmosphere). Putting the items to be retrieved in red is very useful, as they're easy to spot in the background. A few comments to help you improve the whole: - I had trouble spotting/reading the objectives (in white, they disappear with some elements of the scenery). - I had trouble identifying what was what, in the objects to be collected (and therefore where to put them). - There was an object on the ground (a toy car? or cubes?) that I never managed to pick up. - I'm not sure I always spotted what triggered the game over, because sometimes I could wait a very long time to cover my eyes after encountering a monster, and other times not at all.

In short, congratulations on a game that's off the beaten track! I hope you'll have the opportunity to improve it.

The scariest thing in the game is the laughter at this moment 😅.

This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay offered. Really excellent game. Well done!

sasha20 2024-10-13 21:17

A beautifully designed game with an intriguing interpretation of the theme. God Job!

jack-sims 2024-10-16 04:11

Really love the art. This is terrific. Very similar black and white spooky theme as our submission! I'm glad someone else went in that direction

I really like how the little guys look, but I also can't look at them without losing which feels a bit counter intuitive
