Made in 36 hours, the goal was to minimize the gameplay, the story, and partially the graphic style (particularly making a minimalistic main character). My first Ludum Dare, had a lot of fun! This game might be best described as a puzzle-exploration game.

Gameplay was a little slow but the game really scared me at times. Nice job.

Huh, the file size is not so minimalistic, is it?
AestheticGamerauthor30 Apr 2013, 13:37
The reason is because to make sure the game worked for everyone, I had to include the RTP, which added 200 or so MB to the file, but makes it so that the game will work for people who don't have the RTP. The actual game file size is 30 MB, and most of that was the music/sound effects.

A tad bit confusing, I couldn't really understand what I was doing and why. I liked the concept tho, keep it up!

I can't download the archive, it's an infinite DL :/
Please, use a better uploading site like Mediafire or Dropbox :)
AestheticGamerauthor30 Apr 2013, 15:54
On Shymoonesk request, getting a Dropbox link ready. Should be up in less than 10 minutes.

The spider absolutely nailed me. I literally screamed out loud at that bit too, my housemate was like, "Umm.. what's wrong?"

There were so many exits though, it was hard to figure out where to go on the jumpy bit.

Really enjoyed this, it was like Chip's Challenge meets the Celadon City Rocket Hideout.

"RPGVXAce RTP is required to run this game."
I thought the RTP was included?

I gotta say, I wasn't expecting much from a horror game that was developed in around 30 hours or so. I must say that never have iv'e been so wrong. This game has delivered both in the horror aspect and has an interesting story which keeps the players hooked. Not only that but also its worthy to praise the ending since it was so interesting and "mysterious" (for a lack of words) that it made me want to replay the game multiple times. I even made a LP of the game on my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS6-ZwKhyGA in case someone wishes to check out the LP). Overall I can only say that I am fascinated about the game and results and can only expect more things from you in the future.

Interesting game. It took me a bit to figure it out, but it was quite fun! The mood was great!

nice graphics and music, really helped the atmosphere

elaborate puzzles and a little scary too xD

Even after watching this game being made on the live stream, I had fun playing and was challenged solving it myself. The audio is great, really captures the mood. Well done =]

Didn't make it past the first puzzles. I spent several minutes in the conveyerbelt room, then tried the trampoline room, but by then I was too frustrated to really want to try.

Oh man you scared the crap out of me. I screamed out when I ran into the spider. I had a lot of fun playing this. The art style embodied the theme very well! Loved the music and the sound effects too. Good job!

This game is dark, but a bit unforgiving at times. The sound puzzle with the jumps was impossible for me. Thanks to GodofOps and his Let's Play, I could continue.
You manage to get a great atmosphere, don't ruin it with cheap scares!
Good game, after all. :)
