I found all the little ghosts! Very cool escape room game
Classical escape from the room game,didnt play in this genre in many years. I like it,very nostalgic! And very creepy,btw.But where is the last ghostie hidden?)
Interesting game, simple puzzles, everything is intuitive, that's the main thing for me!
I DID IT (RIP ME)!!!! that lights out moment freaked me out omg. good work on setting the atmosphere!!!!
@twest @harvmori @robobarbie Thanks for the feedback!
@nikita-ivanov I'll share a walkthrough including all the ghostie locations after the jam, so give us a follow if you want to be notified!
cool game in the genre of "Escape from the room", I liked the models and textures, also + for the additional goal of collecting ghosts)
Ghosties! i got stuck once but eventually figured it out. the atmosphere changed quick but it was very effective.
It was scary, I'm definitely not passing time in this retreat! Well done, a very cool little game, clever setup for the the different clues.
Hey man I gotta give it to you! My heart skipped a beat when the "Something is coming" text appeared on the screen. It got me on my nerves waiting for the loud jumpscare to appear. Loved the hidden ghosties, and it made me play the game again just to find the last one! 😅
I really liked it! It's a short escape the room experience. I just find it a little hard to put my finger on the depth theme. I suppose it's the depths of the woods, but you're inside a cabin tho.
Anyways, I really liked the game! Keep at it! 😉
A very solid escape room experience. I really like the atmospheric story telling with the picture.
Really fun escape room game! My favorite moments were probably the book suddenly falling when you put the first piece of paper on the painting and the final reveal at the end, I am not sure if it is a bug, but the ambient noise suddenly stopped playing after a few minutes. The mood and atmosphere is incredible however!
@iphen @whysguy52 @pikario @bangkerpow Thanks for the feedback!
@broco Thanks! Yeah we went for a "in the depths of the woods" interpretation of the theme.
@larsievl Thanks for flagging this! There's a trigger that'll cause the ambient noise to fall silent, but prior to that it should loop and wasn't. I'll include that fix in the post-jam version on itch.
Very nice game! I found all ghosts but only could open the closet not the drawer. Also I did not find out where to put the light bulb.
a captivating, tense atmosphere, went to the end and gathered all the guests
Great escape room! Unlike others that focus on overly complex puzzles, you nailed the atmosphere and puzzle cohesion. Well done!
I want more ! Loved the mood and story, I want more :laughing:
The atmosphere is amazing, loved playing it!
A nice, satisfying little escape room game! Love the sound effects, the radio puzzle was definitely my favourite. I appreciate it wasn't overly difficult and had a nice little subgame of finding hte ghosties. A solid, atompsheric little entry. Well done!
Cool game with simlpe puzzles. I found all ghosties :D Usualy I don't play escape rooms but I like this game!
I love puzzles, and here everything is very schematic and clear, excellent visuals and a good idea, thanks for the game!
Great game! I don't do well with horror - but you definitely got the mood right! I found all the ghosties :)
I loved this! Fantastic atmosphere, and very straightforward. Top ratings from me!
