Nice little old-school horror movie homage!

I don’t know whether I have anything meaningful to add to what others have already pointed out in the comments.

The opening “cinematic” and closeup-scene did a good job in setting the morbid mood and tone.

My main annoyance was probably the hitbox of the character (something I usually botch myself, so I’d know!)

The boss battle also felt somewhat superimposed compared to the rest of the game, but it provided a decent challenge.

The story didn’t exactly offer much substance or real resolution, but I guess that wasn’t the point here either. Gotta love ’em ambiguous horror-mysteries!

I guess some elements distantly reminded me of my old Lowrez-entry from two years ago.

Keep up the good work!

It was a good game, I liked the scary atmosphere. good luck

Really great vibe and the music was cool.
It's a shame there weren't any more close ups of the other crime scenes though.

Movement could have used a bit of improvement - not being able to walk diagonally, and getting stuck on corners felt really awkward.

The noise over everything was nice, but maybe a bit much. The static noise/dithering on the flashlight also looked a little weird in motion.

And after getting the chainsaw it was a little annoying having the sound play every time you interacted with something.

Impressive atmosphere! I really like the sounds and music, and the action scene at the ending. 

I kinda wish I could move in 8 directions, but I got used to it really quick and it didn't bother me much after that. 

I also enjoyed the metroidvania aspect of it (seeing places you can't reach initially but getting items and backtracking to be able to). Finding keys was a bit "linear" in the sense that they were all on the "off paths". The woman cutscene is great and I wish there were more, but I can absolutely understand having to prioritize other things because of the time restrictions.

One thing about your games that always makes me want to play them whenever I see you in a game jam is the mood and the audio. They always have a specific "feel" to them that I find great. Good work!

Love the visuals, especially the noise effect! Though wasn’t able to find my 5. key, had to quit :/

So good! I jumped every time ToT I played again to see if anything was different, and I started with all the items ^^ The pixel art of the dead woman was great I wished all of them had it, especially the guy that looked like he was split in two <:o really well made!

That sound and music design is amazing, and the game looks fantastic, lots of subtle touches like the camp sign being animated and the dithering on the light really makes it look good.  The cutscenes are really well done as well. Especially the first victim you find, the music cue is right on. 

The experience itself is a little linear, but that's to be expected from a jam game, and I don't think it necessarily detracts from the experience at all. I also wasn't quite clear what the exploding thing I came across a few times was, but I think it might have been the baddie showing up and then disappearing? 

I appreciate the skyrim style dungeon exit after picking up the chainsaw so I didn't have to go all the way back around, and really the only major feedback I have is that it would be nice if the hitbox of the character was a bit smaller than the paths so you get some wiggle room and don't get caught on the corner of trees. 

Really strong submission, fantastic work. 

Incredibly atmospheric story-driven romp. You adjust to lack of diagonal movement quick. Environment raises curiosity very well. Graphics are really nice, with a lot of tiny touches that add to it, and the music is very fitting. Captures the vibe of the genre very well, although the bossfight felt a bit less tense than the leadup.

Super awesome atmosphere, and the sound design was great!

Nice game! I liked the sound design and music a lot. One of my favorites in this jam for sure.

Nice little story… map might be a bit too linear but the game is nice to go through. The directional lighting looks nice, though i might have gone more extreme and really have a very directional lightsource and add a bit more scary encounters in the darkened areas that had you aiming your light looking for danger ;) Nice job with this entry!

I have to agree with everyone else here, the presentation is top-notch. Great job with the graphics and the audio!

Very well made! The presentation is top notch (intro cinematic, music, sounds. etc.)! The last bit was definitely a cool surprise. The only thing that annoyed me a little was the character's hitbox, it's the same size as those small passages.

this was very good- audio was great- i thought it was over when i got to the boat lol

I normally don't like story-based games but you guys drew me in with the visuals and the cinematography in the cutscenes! You guys nailed the making the game feel atmospheric and made it fun to walk around.

I was also impressed I was able to read the text!

I love the storytelling of your game. Perfect ambiance, great work!

Absolutely smitten with the atmosphere of this one.  Beautiful detail and the graphics are beautiful within the constraints of the jam, and really just in general.  

(I was going to mention the Carpenter connection, but I see you already did haha!)

Top marks from me. If I hadn't died so many times on the arrows I would still be playing. Love the atmosphere and the dark sensibilities of the story. Special mention for the music, top work.
