Love the style so much, I found all 5 pieces.

I do think you need a 'put down gently' feature, very hard to prep things, I couldn't get all the pieces on the plate without dying

I like the visual style, but I'm annoyed by the bottle with the fragment that refuses to break :D

andreyvhc 2025-10-07 15:02

Interesting graphics style, one unique like

2025-10-07 15:27

Great graphics and atmosphere, I just felt like it wasn't very clear how to handle the shadow creature

lrdjj 2025-10-07 15:29

Amazing style, nicely done!

I was too uneducated to find the fifth piece, but I got the feeling there wouldn't be much beyond the door. Well done on the graphics and atmosphere. Kinda weird you can't look down and throw the item but the entire mechanic seemed a bit wonky beyond that.

I managed to collect all the items and I really enjoyed the graphics and atmosphere)

The atmosphere of the game is good, the gameplay is clear, and it would be nice to add a display on items so that the player knows which items can be picked up and which cannot.

This is awesome! I'm personally not a big fun of horror games (event slightly), but the pixelated shader tricked me into playing it. The atmosphere, and graphics and mechanics are awesome. I couldn't figure out how to evade those things until I did. I really enjoyed playing it and kinda wanna see what's behind that door.

Excellent work, thank you for the game!

Nice DA, nice job !

maxiney 2025-10-07 22:25

The visual effect is well done.

adrien-tremblay 2025-10-07 23:20

Graphics are really good. The vibe and mood is great. The post processing added a lot. Wasn't able to find the 5th piece

stepa 2025-10-08 00:44

very nice game, atmosphre is good

Very creepy, I loved the atmosphere you had going on. I spook very easily but I really enjoyed this! Great work!

amanon 2025-10-08 08:53

The style and atmosphere are awesome! The first time that shadow creature showed up, it honestly made me jump!

mark-bliner 2025-10-08 09:02

i really enjoyed the artstyle and graphics, keep it up!

sick-machine 2025-10-08 15:12

I really like the visuals and atmosphere—it's reminiscent of Lovecraft. However, I couldn't figure out what to do with the shadow, as if there was no way to hide or escape from it. Sometimes it would randomly stop in the middle of the room, but I didn't understand what exactly that depended on.

I love the atmosphere of this game! The chase sequences were a bit tough for me, though. You’re also very welcome to come try out our game!

melomaner 2025-10-08 16:13

I only managed to find 4 of them (need a guide on how to finish =D). Overall, it’s atmospheric, but there’s too little space to hide from the eye.

kayrum 2025-10-08 16:25

@sick-machine the shadow is sensitive to sounds, so croutching or throwing an item somewhere else my distract it from guarding the pedestal. Thanks for playing!

kayrum 2025-10-08 16:29

@melomaner the locations are the following: Behind painting, inside lockbox, on the table, inside lantern hanging above the bed, inside the glasbottle at the top of the book shelf. If you stop looking at the eye it will switch positions. The shadow will listen for sounds. Thanks for playing.

denissobolev 2025-10-09 16:58

Great job! Very atmospheric. I like the mechanics, but unfortunately I didn't figure out how to avoid dying, so I couldn't finish the game.

jully-greenleaf 2025-10-09 17:57

Really like this game! The atmosphere is awesome, graphics and stylization are great. First I didn't understand how to avoid enemies, but I like, that it makes me replay it once more. That's cool, that the game is quite challenging. Great job!

tardis2snej 2025-10-10 17:04

Oh my god that was creepy!

I tried throwing objects to distract shadows but I didn't see any effect from this. Also, I think they were a fair bit away from me but still they would get me. Maybe I didn't understand something.

Overall, the game is good with strong atmosphere and really gives you that horror feel!

(I also found out that I can't press left and right mouse button at the same time usinh touchpad lol but that's alright I found a mouse)

nexyisan 2025-10-10 19:38

It's a good game, but it's a shame you can't open it in your browser, you have to download it.

kayrum 2025-10-10 19:46

@nexyisan Thanks for the feedback, sadly it heavily relies on shaders and render targets that werent compatibile with web.

iovorobiev 2025-10-10 22:10

Played the game on stream, but due to time limit didn't complete it. I played it off stream now, and completed it. I really liked the atmosphere, it reminded me of the first Amnesia games, or even penumbra before that. I had to die multiple times, until I just decided to find all the pieces, bring it towards the desk and put it together all at the same time. This worked :)

Really enjoyed this one!

gooood viiibe!!

yibirabbit007 2025-10-11 09:09

Hmm, that's a bit strange! I found the key under the bed, unlocked the chest, and then wandered around for a long time, not sure what else I can do.

kayrum 2025-10-11 09:30

@yibirabbit007 if you cant interact with something ou probably already have something in your hand you can drop or throw it by holding rmb and then clicking lmb. Otherwise i made another comment with all the pieces you can place ont the white pedestal. Thanks for playing!

yvanor 2025-10-15 11:53

Great game ! It reminded me of Frictional Games's work, which I appreciate a lot. A bit too hard in my opinion, maybe at least make death keep some progress ? Thought I liked how there where different dangers that I had to understand in order to keep going.

Good work !

cody-raethke 2025-10-16 03:45

Really nice job on this game. The art style was really cool, the sound effects and creepy enemies helped set the mood, and the gameplay was enjoyable. It took me just the right amount of time to find all the pieces. My one gripe is that the enemies were kind of annoying - rather than try to deal with them, I just stacked all the pieces up on the table until I had found all of them and assembled everything really quickly. Overall, one of my favorites so far.

raivk 2025-10-16 20:08

Really cool and creepy entry, atmosphere is top notch, you nailed it!

5h08 2025-10-19 08:21

amazing atmosphere! love the puzzle designs

kayrum 2025-10-19 14:31

ophiene 2025-10-23 19:55
