The best narrative horror game ever.
the atmosphere this game creates is really intense and the artstyle is awesome. On my second play i was a bit disappointed that it seemingly made no differences which decisions i made but i guess its difficult to make to much changes in just one weekend...
Great horror! Thanks for the atmosphere. The audio helped me get immersed in the game.
This one was really cool. The font is very rough on the eyes though. Aside from the font, great art and vibe overall!
Spectacular, I loved the art style and the simplicity of story. Great job
I loved the game, the graphics, sounds.. but it was a bit difficult to read
Nice mood but I'd choose a different font for the text dialogue in game as that font is hard to read
Perfect jam entry; short, easy to pick and effective. Font was quite hard to read, but I managed. Atmosphere here is amazing, artstyle is really good and sounds are great as well. Monster at the end was the first truly creepy thing I've seen this jam, and I was making a horror game myself. :slight_smile: Well done!
Absolutely loved the style and writing. My only (minor) nitpick is the button "centering" whenever it goes from two options to one and vice-versa (so every time I had to relocate the mouse slightly). It sounds trivial, but it kind of disconnects you from the narrative tempo, even if just for a fraction of a second. As I already said, this is a great entry, excellent job!
I love the background art, it goes really well with your game. A little difficult to read the font but a nice little narrative game for sure!
This game kept me on the edge of my seat and I loved it! The audio and art are great, although I would recommend a different font for the dialogue, as it gets a little difficult to read after a while.
I loved the narrative and the art (which really fits the atmosphere). I enjoyed the game, there's just one thing with the font that sometimes it gets difficult to read. But overall, amazing!
The cover caught my eye right away! As a horror game fan, I absolutely love your bold, impactful hand-drawn style. The font design is great too, but with a lot of text to read, staring at it for a long time can be a bit straining on the eyes. The plot has a bit of a rule horror vibe, and the atmosphere is really well-crafted. I love the ghost face visuals. A small suggestion: it’d be nice if the game could jump back to the main menu to restart after the ending.
Cool atmosphere, visuals and sound. I want more game mechanics in it.
Good mood, but a little weird on a lot of aspect (probably due to time constraint, it's a jam after all). It's a little sad that the choice to "be safe" lead to just avoid any spooky stuff.
The hand-drawn texture is so unique, and combining a horror game with ASMR is pure genius! The storytelling is really strong. 👻
Good horror game, gave me chills x) I like that you have different paths to take. Fells that it gets a bit tiring reading this style of text after a while!
Great game! I like the atmosphere, but the words are a bit difficult to read.
wow. perfect work. this style is so hard to realize.
Very atmospheric little horror experience!
As many people have already commented, the art is great, but I’d also like to call out the excellent audio which I think contributes just as much to the immersion 👏
In terms of story, its certainly creepy, but I didn’t really get how the different events were connected. I also didn't feel that the theme played a significant part in the story.
Loved the multiple endings!
I love so much art style and atmosheric this game, but my ending was scary)Screenshot_20260423_184400.png
Very moody, beautiful hand-drawn aesthetic. Sound design absolutely perfect. (And I'm not a horror fan.)
Excellent work -- well done!
very cool that you made a narrative style game, they are quite rare in jams! and the hand-drawn graphics really add to the horror atmosphere. I generally don't like horror games, but this one was well done :)
Lovely work, very tasteful artstyle, great sounds and atmosphere - I got chills both times I played! The only thing I found missin is a key to make the known narrative options appear instantly instead of being typed out slowly. Great job!
Awesome ambiance and graphics (the hand-drawn style is amazing and refreshing), the mood is also amazing thanks to the sound design :)
A very solid horror game. I really liked the visuals for just three days of development, it turned out quite atmospheric. As for the downsides, I’d point out the font: it’s hard to read and ends up distracting from the atmosphere. It might work better if you keep it only for the moment when the monster demands to be let in, to emphasize that scene. I also really missed having a “skip line” button. I wanted to explore different choices, but had to wait for each line to finish. Still, game looks nice !
I'm not a big fan of horror games because I get scared too easily so in that sense, you really nailed it! I was on edge the entire time haha, nice work! I love the graphics, it really sets the mood
