Wow! Really scary, the thumping of the monster chasing behind me definitely got my heart rate up. I didn't get much further than past the first door. My sense of direction is pretty bad to begin with and the monster didn't seem to let up. I'm going to let more skilled players beat this one I think. Great job!
This is really amazing that you made this all by yourself! We had a similar idea at first to do something exactly like this, but we felt it would have been too much for in just 3 days, so major props to you for achieving this. I think it's executed brilliantly. The SFX and VFX are just perfect, incredibly polished. I actually felt scared when the monster showed up. I felt he chases you a bit too hard, and similar to the person above, I could get very far. I think the monsters sight and hearings needs a nerf. Really hope to get to the end sometime!
Great game! I really loved the visuals, especially the echolocation shader - it looks super atmospheric. It would be nice to have some additional activities on the map besides finding keys, and maybe a few more ways to escape the monster, but for a jam this is already a solid little project. Excellent work!
It's a pity that there is no web version of this game. I'm afraid to download other files)
I thought it will be only a maze and got jumpscared haha. Anyway audiovisuals are crazy good tbh
Great addictive game
The echolocation effect is very well done. The environment becomes quite eerie when you know there's something else besides you.
Very good and well put together game. the art style and the colored keys all fit very well together.I love that the keys respond to your pings. The enemy scared the shit out of me. Great work!
It's a good game. The idea is simple, but it works. The monster surprised me with its appearance.
Great sound design and the echolocation visual effect is beautifully done
Great job, good game :-)
Well done!
It was really fun and creepy to run around—running away from the monster was genuinely scary! Though, I found the kill animation pretty funny.
Nice visuals and a lot of potential for a horror roguelike like this. Keep it up!
never. NEVER trust games that look too computery to be horror... I thought this will be just a maze haha đŸ˜…
Really well put together, very simple but incredibly effective design throughout for all the visuals.
In general I enjoyed the game, but the second time I died to the monster, I gave up. Maybe if it wasn't so aggressive the first time you see it and ramps up over time?
The only major thing missing was some music or additional ambience, I think there is a lot you could have done there, but it's all polish. Baseline is amazing, really cool idea, very well executed. Great work.
Gonna be honest, I didn't get far. The anxiety of being chased by the monster in the pitch black was too much for me haha. Really cool concept though, I took the time to spam the space bar and take in the effects before it spawned. I wasn't entirely sure sometimes if I was losing the monster, and felt I couldn't use the echo location in case it would find me faster. But also I couldn't see, so I was often just crouched in dark rooms too nervous to make a move.
Describing it to my friend, it was like running from the Owlks in outerwilds lol. You did a good job with the atmosphere there. Nice work!
I`m not very fond of being chased. But the game is good. Nice mechanics and overall mood.
The first horror game that was too terrifying to continue playing! Haha! I've played this type of game twice before. It has a good mechanism and provides a strong sense of immersion. However, it feels too difficult. Making sounds will lead to being chased, not making sounds will prevent you from finding the way, and for a long time, it seems that the monster won't leave on its own. The game is excellent. Good Job!
Great entry! Genuinely just noped and let the monster kill me the first time I saw it. Really amazing atmosphere, this game was super tense and unsettling, I had a tough time playing it (in a good way). Good job!
