Best played fullscreen, with sound.

You play as a representation of a little child's fears, your goal is to scare him. The upper bar represents his level of fear, the lower bar is a sort of mana, monster power.

Tips:

1)Watch the cat, avoid his gaze.

2)The more the boy is scared, the faster your mana restores.

2)Low-level scares (I-II lv) don't have much effect when the boy is more scared.

I wanted this to be a compo submission but didn't manage to finish it on time. All the assets were made by me from scratch.

All content was created by me within 72 hours.

Tools:

Engine: Construct 2

Art: Construct 2 built-in editor, Paint.Net, Photoshop CS3

Sound: Zoom H2n recorder, Audacity, Reaper + free VST-plugins

Pretty cool! Definitely made me want to keep playing to find out what happened at max fear. The kid looked completely terrified at the end and I felt kind of bad :p really fun though!

Nice concept, I couldn't beat it but I really liked it.

Neat concept. I couldn't get the boy to be scared enough but I think that's just because I suck at games.

Nice mood and a nice little game here.

My only niggle was having to click the skull to see what was available in each location, other than that, great work!

Took me a little while before I actually figured out what to do. After that, it took me 3 tries, but I finally won just in time. Cool visuals, and high marks for theme.

This was hilarious and a perfect example of using a game to explore guilty pleasures well befitting the theme.

Good "Just Imagination"

Interesting concept, but it could have been realized a little better.
Making the room a little darker would have improved the atmosphere greatly.

At first it was significantly darker but I didn't like it and removed the filter. It's not a horror game, after all.

Nice game, the gameplay is pretty simple, but all the graphics make it really interesting and good!

awesome mood! I feel bad for the girl.
Also I hate that cat :P great job!!
Andrew Deem28 Aug 2015, 21:25
Cool concept! This is the kinda thing I wanna see when the theme is "You are the monster." Also good design with the cat as a way of protecting the kid if you get caught. Great job!

Very creative!
It's a really cool and fun concept indeed!
Music helped a lot to build the "mood" and graphics were more than adequate for this type of game. It's really incredible that you managed to make this all by yourself for the jam!

Congratulations, really. Awesome job!
