Man that first ghost at the top of the stairs legit scared me. Good entry, the enemies were creative and the tension was real.

I LOVE THIS!!! You have a really really awesome concept here. You making me want to fire up Unity and get to work. To be honest, I was expecting jump scares so I turned down the volume. A shame it didn't have that much audio. This reminded me of Undying and Jericho. Best game I tried out yet.

The game atmosphere is super creepy. The gameplay is okay, but is a hard bit difficult to know when to use the candle and when to use the cross. But overall well done.

Cool style and interesting idea.

Damn, that was pretty cool! Well done.
Changing between candle and crusifix works great for the tension.

This would be amazing if you added some audio and tension building eery music.
Nice pixel graphics too!

Exceedingly stylish! It would be a whole lot cooler with sound, but I imagine it's hard to produce them for compo schedule.

Oh man I really hope you do a version with audio. This was already great and sfx would aid so much more tension. Just like Kris, that first ghost really made me jump.

Your windows link does not seem to work.

That was a really great game. Plenty of originality and excellent execution. But it really needs sound!
From the screnshots I thought first that you use some custom-made 3d engine but anyway it gives a great performance even though it's Unity. Good job on technical side too.
This is definitely one of the most interesting games of this LD.

Poltergeist deletes all the sounds!
HotByteDog15 Dec 2016, 11:31
Nice retro doom style.
The shading of the textures could be improved.
I liked the foggy poltergeist effects.
Maybe the cruzifix and candle should get some kind of recharge energy to make it more interesting?
Definitely needs some creepy sounds to contribute to the scary atmo.

Really cool atmosphere and gameplay. Loved the way all the events worked together. Would've been great if you had time to add some more audio cues and music.

Interning game with amazing style. I like it.

Wow. Very nice idea and the theme usage is fantastic.
Tha art is great, but the lack of sound (except the footsteps) is sad.
I expected some jumpscare :D

The web version won't load for me and it freezes up my entire browser. :C Is it just me?

Theme was very well executed. It was very fun, but the audio was lacking (Scary ambiance or just more sound effects for that I'm alone feeling). It wasn't very funny? The graphics were great and loved the effects. Overall very good game.

Not mush use for the candle, but I liked the encounters, especially chairs and lava!

Great concept, loved the 2.5D graphics, good tension! Sound would have really improved the atmosphere.

Really interested in the way you built this world, and the art style that you used (the combo of the art and the effects when you banished things from the possessed objects especially). Really could've used some more audio, but it was really entertaining.

Love the art style, this kind of retro fps really fits the horror theme like a glove.

Reminded me of Blood on Dos, this was quite scary, and i think the confusion of trying to figure out what to do or where to point the cross at when crazy shit starts to happen just adds to the general tention.

Just 1 tiny negative point imo, there lacks a bit of feedback on whether using the cross on something does something or not.

Other than that, great entry :)

Just need add some creepy sounds and you have a perfect little horror experience.
The entities are very scary.
