I'm glad you liked the game and that you managed to find all the endings!
And yes, the endings are 8. Well done!
Your games are cool, I'm sure it'll be in the trends, I'm the one who tells you !
(plus it feels so much like a 2000's vibe)
Cool little metroid adventure you got here! Got quite addicted to finding all the various tools and weaving my way through nuns by climbing around on cupboards: really captured that 'Home Alone' vibe of being a little kid avoiding scary adults!
Really shocked me with the amount of depth the game has in terms of endings: I beat it the first time with the bad ending but couldn't see how the game could be anything but that, but then ended up getting the good ending after realizing how many other tools and routes there were to find! Also thought it was great that the routes all led to big moments, like terrorizing the nuns or having a huge boss fight. Really cool stuff and I can't believe there's even more potential endings I could get beyond those two!
It had a few rough spots here and there but nothing too major: if you stop crawling through a gap it should keep you in crawl mode instead of standing you up and glitching into the geometry, and speaking of crawling, I would've loved the ability to peek downwards if I crawl as there were a few times I jumped and ended up getting hit by something I couldn't see below. Also the game could be a bit plain when it comes to special effects: having the same death animation for everything, certain actions not having any sounds or particles, that kind of stuff.
Veinom responds:
Crawling is underused. It only occurs in the basement for gameplay variety. It would be easier to just remove it!
I do agree about the special effects. I wanted to add some visual and sound effects for the Mirrors, but I kept failing, so I left it as it is.
Thank you for your input and I'm glad you enjoyed this little adventure!
Edit: Thank you for playing the game! Your video was very well made :)

Very nice.
is it possible to reach the tough ending without making a deal with the devil. I was kind of hoping I could rescue Molly. But it is only the dark form that can double jump
well good game none the less. It have been a long time since I have seen a new game of such a calibre.
I don't give it a top rating because I compare it to classic games like Road of the Dead or Burito Bison.
That should be the standard to strive for, but it is still refershing to see something other then crap. I very often give a half or no star review, because that is what most of these new games deserve
Veinom responds:
No, that is not possible. The background story cannot change. The game is mostly about how Ucogi deals with what happened. (Also, Evil Ucogi can triple jump ^^)
