The atmosphere is build well, and the pixel art style always work. However, I guess you probably need to provide an instruction for the game operations; I have no idea how to use an item I got when exploring the room. Therefore I get stuck after found a flashlight.

Really neat art. After the flashlight, I went to the room below but couldn't really find anything to do.

Controls would be nice. Even if you just post them in your game description here, it will help people know how to play.

Had no idea how to navigate or exit the room at first, but I figured it out eventually. Nice pixel art graphics, the character animation transitions are particularly well-done.

Geez. Five stars for mood, that was creepy as hell. I got a really bad feeling after getting to the incense table, which only got worse and worse as things went on. Very effective. Thank you for the game!

Amazing visual style and v creepy vibes. Unbelievable work.

Solid game! The art was great along with the overall mood of the game. The gameplay wasn't challenging, though occasionally frustrating (I definitely think it would be good to avoid needing to inspect something more than once to find an item), but in the end I think it holds up well. Good work!

Game looks and handles great. I think maybe the game was a bit too easy, because in the end all I really had to do was search everything and find 2 keys in the process. The flashlight I just found right away and didn't even realize I needed it. Maybe there could be some way to show when you use the items. I wish there was a bit more of a puzzle to solve, and that the text somehow provided the clues to figuring it out. I wanted music too, but the heartbeat at least was doing a good job by itself at keeping me tense and setting a mood. I also didn't feel very free at the end, because I felt I was trapped in a white room, hehe. I liked the vibe overall, and the texts, they were well written and I can relate to almost all of it.

Cool atmosphere, love the pixel art :3
Had to use walkthrough once to realise I had to pick up one of the cards - I had looked at the cards more than once, didn't realise I had to look at them more than once without moving away to trigger new dialogues.

there is a good ambiance in your game but it really lacks instructions, i was stuck in the stair after opening the door. Also, the character is too slow, it's a pain to search clue everywhere.
