I want to start by saying this is NOT bad. A few things definitely took me out of it. And it's spoiler heavy, so if you're seeing this before playing stop now and check it out first.

SPOILER TERRITORY:
This is all subjective opinion, and I mean no disrespect. Some may love this game, some may hate it, these are just my takes.
-Crosses turning upside down is not scary or effective. Especially not constantly in this short of an experience.

-The "Entity" was never effective. Saw it, heard the "whoosh" noise, it was gone, and it didn't evoke more than an "Okay" from me. Happened constantly. Killed the potential for effect. Never came back up, don't know what it was, don't know why it was involved.

-Character model is too goofy. Realistically today somebody in this situation probably WOULD be in track pants and hi-top sneakers, but it just looks silly against this environment. Walk cycle is very "Jubi Slide" and comical looking. Also CANNOT buy that THIS character's name is Demetrius Black. Looks like a dude named Kellan who makes YouTube reaction videos.

-I DID like the use of Bible verses! It showcases the absurdity of biblical doctrine and how it can be interpreted and bastardized to be hurtful. Matching the context to the clues for keypads was a cool mechanic, too!

-A little bit of cinematic would have gone a long way for the conclusion. Show our character attempting to approach the sister at least before cutting to text. Otherwise it looks like he walked into the room, said "Damn that's crazy" and it ended.

There is a good story with a lot of potential here! I hope if the creator reads this they can see what I mean and use the criticism for future projects because the foundation is solid and the possibilities are huge!

Congrats guys, this feels very personal. I'm sure you can do even more. Keep going!

I liked it BUT... the gameplay could be more challenging. You can put more complex puzzles.
I like simple animation games. Games with good ides don't necessarily need many FPSs or HD graphics. If anything, you can stick to this style and make it your signature.
The story is good but short, but it lays the foundation for a more complex/long story after. You could easily make a follow up with the after events .

Thanks for playing, rating and leaving a comment!
This was our first try at the genre, I was focusing on getting the atmosphere to feel right. I agree, the puzzles could be a bit more complex, but I didn't want to go full Silent Hill :D
Glad you liked the story!
Thanks again!

Presentation is mostly good; the protagonists walk cycle is entirely too casual, but otherwise the whole thing is pretty creepy

The gameplay is a joke

Controls are unnecessarily complex. Really just need left, right, and a single interact key. And there's a moment where you have to advance text that's not actually displayed

Thanks for playing, rating and commenting!
Glad we can check the creepy box, that was the biggest goal of the game. Appreciate the walk cycle feedback, didn't even think of that!
I thought I had fixed that text bug but I guess it's still happening, any details on what happened just before it popped?
REALLY good callout about a single interact button! It's the first time we've made a game like this and I'm used to needing unique buttons for everything, but this is a solid point and I'll incorporate this into our games moving forward!
Thanks, really appreciate it!

very easy puzzle game it's not that scary but it's fun

LionJeff responds:

Thanks for playing and leaving a comment/rating! Sorry we didn't scare you, we'll try harder next time :D
