The survival game where a friendly bird mask doctor comes out and talks to you is truly the best. There are bugs like dialogue options remaining after conversation or clicking them causing the game to black out and freeze completely, but even accounting for that, it was incredibly enjoyable to play. The experience of wandering through the toned-down tile forest is something I'll never forget.
Incredible to hear you enjoyed playing it so much! I'll be fixing the bugs in due time, in addition to adding sounds, music, and a better ending, so stay tuned if you're interested.
This is a really cool and unique game! I like the static movements and the fact that you have to be sparse with your actions!
I did get a little dizzy when trying to gauge my surroundings but I think that’s also because I have a bad sense of direction ahaha~ I feel like this game would work really good as a board game as well!
That's a curious concept: a board game. I've been tempted to make a board game-style something or other for a while now. Maybe I'll go for it. Thanks for enjoying my game.
Oh, please, rate this new one game https://itch.freezing.top/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3962987 nobody rate this, everyone must go from one game to another to be a visible...
I'll consider it.
I liked the game's concept, good visuals. I really missed sound. The game has some bugs like for UI. When i went to buy torches, the button didn't disappear after finishing the conversation. I would like more of a story, some legends about city, the forest, the darkness, and the monster. But overall, it's a good entry 😊.
Could you try my game too when you have some free time?
Glad to hear you're so interested in the word! To be honest, I managed my time very poorly, in addition to overscoping the game, so I SUPER ran out of time. I'm planning to update it sometime in the near future, addressing said bugs, adding sound and music, fleshing out the ending properly, and maybe some more lore if I can manage. So stick around if you want.
Yeah, I'll be sure to check out your game when I can.
There's plenty of potential here, but it really needs audio. Also, it would be near if the characters you can talk to stopped moving when you're near, there's this beard guy that keeps moving around too fast for me to catch up and click him.
The aesthetic is great, love the collage look.
Thanks for playing. Glad to hear you liked the look; it's my first time trying it, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I currently have it so that characters stop moving when you're in the same space as them, but I suppose it may be good to extend that range to the tile ahead of you as well.
P.S. If by 'beard guy' you mean the character with the wide-brimmed hat an the long, buckled coat down south, then that's the Huntsman; he quickly runs when holding the Lantern, and it's impossible to talk to him when he's in light. (Well, normal light anyways...) If that was the case, then that's working as intended (and thanks for venturing that far).
Regardless, thanks for the feedback.
This game has a lot of potential and I can't wait to play once its complete - it would be awesome with some atmospheric music/sound design!
Thanks! I usually make music for my games, but I ran out of tile unfortunately. I'm planning to eventually update the game with sound (and to fix/add a few things, including a proper title screen) and I hope you'll check it out when I do.
It's flawless... the main thing is not to lose the light.) Excellent game, your idea is brilliant. I want to play the finished version. The atmosphere, characters, and design are all top-notch. Thanks for playing!
That's truly incredible to hear, thank you! I'll make sure to finish it, seeing as there are people who are looking forward to it!
pretty good. was a bit confusing on the gameplay department but the aesthetic was immaculate and the characters def added 2 the vibe.
Immaculate; what a fun word to hear. Glad to hear the characters contributed to the feel. Concerning the gameplay, what was confusing about it?
I enjoyed collecting and balancing my resources to best navigate through the dark. Big fan of the art style, and the character encounters were such a treat in the forest. Great work!
Thanks a lot! This was my first time making a mixed-media style game like this, and I leant a lot. It was a fun challenge making a 2D scene look 3D-ish.
Interesting mechanics, well done!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
