I was too uneducated to find the fifth piece, but I got the feeling there wouldn't be much beyond the door. Well done on the graphics and atmosphere. Kinda weird you can't look down and throw the item but the entire mechanic seemed a bit wonky beyond that.
The atmosphere of the game is good, the gameplay is clear, and it would be nice to add a display on items so that the player knows which items can be picked up and which cannot.
This is awesome! I'm personally not a big fun of horror games (event slightly), but the pixelated shader tricked me into playing it. The atmosphere, and graphics and mechanics are awesome. I couldn't figure out how to evade those things until I did. I really enjoyed playing it and kinda wanna see what's behind that door.
I really like the visuals and atmosphere—it's reminiscent of Lovecraft. However, I couldn't figure out what to do with the shadow, as if there was no way to hide or escape from it. Sometimes it would randomly stop in the middle of the room, but I didn't understand what exactly that depended on.
@sick-machine the shadow is sensitive to sounds, so croutching or throwing an item somewhere else my distract it from guarding the pedestal. Thanks for playing!
@melomaner the locations are the following: Behind painting, inside lockbox, on the table, inside lantern hanging above the bed, inside the glasbottle at the top of the book shelf. If you stop looking at the eye it will switch positions. The shadow will listen for sounds. Thanks for playing.
Really like this game! The atmosphere is awesome, graphics and stylization are great. First I didn't understand how to avoid enemies, but I like, that it makes me replay it once more. That's cool, that the game is quite challenging. Great job!
I tried throwing objects to distract shadows but I didn't see any effect from this. Also, I think they were a fair bit away from me but still they would get me. Maybe I didn't understand something.
Overall, the game is good with strong atmosphere and really gives you that horror feel!
(I also found out that I can't press left and right mouse button at the same time usinh touchpad lol but that's alright I found a mouse)
Played the game on stream, but due to time limit didn't complete it. I played it off stream now, and completed it. I really liked the atmosphere, it reminded me of the first Amnesia games, or even penumbra before that. I had to die multiple times, until I just decided to find all the pieces, bring it towards the desk and put it together all at the same time. This worked :)
@yibirabbit007 if you cant interact with something ou probably already have something in your hand you can drop or throw it by holding rmb and then clicking lmb. Otherwise i made another comment with all the pieces you can place ont the white pedestal. Thanks for playing!
Great game ! It reminded me of Frictional Games's work, which I appreciate a lot. A bit too hard in my opinion, maybe at least make death keep some progress ? Thought I liked how there where different dangers that I had to understand in order to keep going.
Really nice job on this game. The art style was really cool, the sound effects and creepy enemies helped set the mood, and the gameplay was enjoyable. It took me just the right amount of time to find all the pieces. My one gripe is that the enemies were kind of annoying - rather than try to deal with them, I just stacked all the pieces up on the table until I had found all of them and assembled everything really quickly. Overall, one of my favorites so far.
I do think you need a 'put down gently' feature, very hard to prep things, I couldn't get all the pieces on the plate without dying
