Very cool game great mood, lot of potential. Things like having randomly generated scenes instead of fixed ones, or having to explain why the summoning is flawed would have taken your game to greatness
So impressive, great work. That's my favorite game so far
Great atmosphere! I was really scared. But It's way too dark, even with the flashlight, having a gamma settting would help I think
Great game, very nice gameplay. Moving and physics fells very nice
It is a bit annoying to have to click one time to open the scroll, a second to summon the ingredient and a third time to close the scroll. Otherwise, nice game.
Very impressive, great mood. Make me think of Inscryption, but made in 48h
Great game idea, I love the drawings
Thank you for your comments @rinevard
We often use references to convey what we have in mind to each other, this alliviates ambiguity and makes communication more efficient. Made in Abyss was our main inspiration for the lore/story setup. We knew we wanted to try doing something moody, without being full blown horror. This oriented us towards this proxy mechanic, where you are not directly the one being in danger.
On the gameplay and art side, we found inspiration in games like PVKK, Inscryption, Strain (mreliptik.itch.io/strain), @kenforest's games, and more. Basically, for each idea we got, we see how it already has been done and why it works. We also work on multiple game mechanics in parallel to gain time, and we try to do as much polishing as we can before the deadline. But despite our best efforts, there are still bugs, features missing, and balance issues. The game is not perfect but we try to learn from our mistakes, and hopefully we will improve to make something better next time.
Controls are a bit clancky, but the game is good. Love the atmosphere
Love the art style, great job on the sprites and animation. SFX are on point (nice voice acting). Good game overall
Damn, those creatures are so spooky. Great atmosphere, love the art style
Nice work, I would love to see more levels :D
