This is a very creative take on the theme! Love the atmosphere and got scared many times...

@dummy432 what build did you download? The one on itch.io or the one here?

dUmMy4324 Oct 2022, 10:34

The build under the downloads section.

Ghatazorg4 Oct 2022, 10:38

I was afraid

PxGluzauthor4 Oct 2022, 10:41

dUmMy4324 Oct 2022, 10:46

Good Thanks for the help

dUmMy4324 Oct 2022, 11:12

The game is AMAZING!!!

dUmMy4324 Oct 2022, 11:12

The graphics are very great

Very nice and scary game, awesom models, looks pretty realistic, the mouse sensitivity was a bit high but all else was good

walaber4 Oct 2022, 16:44

Interesting concept! Nice work, definitely something you could expand on after the jam.

Very spooky! Got me more than few times. Use of the theme was clever, but I found it a little difficult to navigate and avoid the monster at first. Good game though, good job!! :)

The audio was a essential part done really well, I enjoyed running around and the straightforwardness of the game. I had a lot of fun playing it. ty :)

D34TH0FTIT4N55 Oct 2022, 07:58

pretty interesting! i think the control scheme was a bit all over the place but cool none the less, very fun!

I could only play this once, and even that was too much. That flash sound too scary. 5/5 on mood.

DileriumL5 Oct 2022, 11:39

Yeah controls are a bit scuffed. Played twice. Didn't expected that scary guy gonna come in my room 2nd time. Good screamer, gave me shivers. Thank you for this experience!

woahitsjeff5 Oct 2022, 21:29

Love the twist on the theme, a picture every 10 seconds to warn you of the monster's position.. so cool! Didn't manage to escape in my play time, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thanks for sharing!

I am really easily scared, yet I enjoyed this game.
You really did an outstanding job setting the mood.

DGSpitzer8 Oct 2022, 06:03

5/5 mood and audio, holy that is some really dope scary game design

EOShadows9 Oct 2022, 01:11

Great game! The graphics and audio are very good, and the concept is even better. The idea of getting to see pictures the monster takes is very cool. I think my main suggestion would be to allow a crosshair, so interacting with things can be a bit easier. Other than that though, very good game. Well done!

You really nailed the audio and atmosphere! The monster makes no noise when walking so I got camped around the corner a few times haha. The 10s picture mechanic is really creative, would've been better if the doors are color coded or have signs on them so that the player can easily identify where the monster is. Another solution I can think of is to make the match residues glow faintly even after expiring so that the player can spend matches to make markings themselves? Amazing game!

Pretty cool horror game. Just one minor issue: it would be better to exclude the idle bouncing of your character as together with holding LMB makes it pretty annoying to pick up static objects.
