A nice, story based game. There are some things that can be improved, but for a gamejam submission it is good.
Suggestions: - It is hard to pinpoint the age of our protagonist - he appears to talk like a teenager, but overall visually (and emotionally) gives of a feeling of a pre-teen.
- I think the map could be made a bit more compact.
i liked details like the window shutters and paintings and that police hotline had a different sound. and that you gave closure with the epilogue.
i found the default text noise annoying.
and after witnessing the basement scene, when i got back to the main floor, the music turned from scary to nice again, which seemed strange to me.
you have a talent for story telling and i hope you will tell bigger stories in the future.
i found it meaningful that the kid resolves what happened, but is still left wondering about the 'why' even as an adult. nice!
also, thanks for your comment on our game. however, it would also be nice if you could give more personalized feedback when you comment. i like to take time and appreciate the efforts of other developers but i find it more fun if it goes both ways.
Innocent and then dark. Would be interesting to see how this could be expanded into a more fleshed out story. I like the art style, it reminds me of Undertale but if it was a side-scroller!
