Sorry, but I am not downloading any extra handlers in order to play your game. It really looked it could have been fun but I would prefer my configuration left alone.

I wish you luck

The difficult launch of the game really discourages me from downloading it

I liked the concept! It took a while to understand the enemy, but we figured it out. We also liked Matny :)

@retrisma Thank tou for your comment) Matny gnomik is a spirit from Russian folklore, that children like to summon. In english it can be translated as foul-mouthed gnome.

Interesting idea. I couldn't figure out a working strategy to get out of the starting room without getting killed.

Nice game, but feels a bit confusing because the guy can see through walls when you're out of your room? Wasn't quite sure how to get through the hallway without turning his eyes red

I could run up the hallway directly at the supervisor and back again without being spotted, but when I stepped into rooms he saw me through the walls. Matny Gnomik is a fun little thing but it didn't really help. I think the game is simply not complete yet, but a neat idea. The art looks fun though.

A very unusual game with a unique ambiance. I like the graphics a lot.

I had trouble at first because I thought I was the enemy — it took me a few tries to realize I was the girl. I wasn't able to figure out how to win the game, however. I was able to summon Matny Gnomik and survive longer that way, but always got killed in the end.

Pretty interesting game! Took me a bit to understand how to get around the supervisor spotting me walking into different rooms. I don't really have much feedback to give beyond that, but pretty cool game for your first Ludum Dare.

I think the concept of this game is really cool but it might need a bit more balancing, it seemed impossible to leave my room, even if the counsellor was deep in another room without him detecting me.
I never managed to get the cookie :( Also agree with another commentor that I thought I was the counsellor at first! Maybe some text to indicate that would be helpful. Great effort for your first submission!

The art style works, I'm not great at working out how to avoid the scary guy, but I love Matny Gnomik!
