I just played this game again and the atmosphere is really great !
There is something that reminds me of its vibes from old Italian horror movies and the aesthetic associated with the gothic typeface of the game title reminds me of the creepy side of black / doom metal covers.
I posted a game 2 weeks ago. A short point n click of horror of which certain similarities with your work make me think that we most likely share common references.
I would love for you to find the time to try it someday.
It is called INVITATIONEM. This is my 1st and only game at the moment. If you want, you can find it on my page.
Bravo again and thank you very much for this game ! Great job!
Hi, I am a Games Art student and very much inspired by this game. You nailed the atmosphere and the aesthetic. I really wanna know the process and how You produced these images. It will be so much helpful. Thank you so much and well done, I loved the game
Looks interesting. Sadly it froze on the dead lady in the bathtub screen, after showing the first chunk of text (mouse cursor stuck as ellipsis). After reloading the page it didn't resume from where it froze, and I don't feel like redoing all the steps up to that point.
We'll try to figure out was causes the freeze. It's hard to identify as it seem to be rare and very random. Maybe try the .exe version in a while if you feel like giving it another go. We're sorry it happened.
I watched Markiplier play this game a while back and have been thinking about it ever since trying to find it again and I finally did! The art style on this game is just incredibly unique and has stuck in my mind everyday. I just can't get overhow much I love this style! Is there a certain name for it? I don't wanna call it pixel because I think it's more unique but I'm not sure if there would be a name for it! I would love to hear about how you guys created the style!/ Made the scenes!
I'll echo what a lot of the comments have said in that your small team did a fantastic job! I'm currently working on a 1-bit existential horror game inspired partly by World of Horror (and now also Veiled). I'd really like to learn more about your development and art pipeline, especially when it comes to sourcing all of your images. I looked through the source code (thank you), and have a couple of guesses, but would really appreciate you shedding some light there. Congrats again on this work of horror art!
Hi! Thanks for the link and we're glad you liked it! in term of pipeline, you'd be surprised what you can get away with in term of montage once you apply the filter on such low resolutions images in photoshop. The trickiest was to work out the whole level branching and narration using the resources we had. Once you establish a core skeleton, you can identify what places are essential and how they support the narration, what new ideas they bring. you can then decide if some branches needs to be cut or if your scope is too big/small.
Thanks for the reply! That's pretty helpful. If you have any recommendations on where/how to source stock photos, I'd love to know. Looking forward to whatever you make next :-)
We never played a stunning point & click game like this! The story was amazing, the atmosphere was creepy / scary and we had a lot of fun to finish this game! Please keep it up! You both have talent for gaming design!
Hia~ This was such a spoopy game, loved the unsettling feel of it all. I always wanted to do a horror game like this, so I was wondering how you created your backgrounds? Are they photos? or drawings?
This game was awesome as heck. The atmosphere and art style in this is what scared me the most. Just curious. What engine was this made on because this reminds me so much of Yames "Discover My Body" and "Water Womb World". Aside from that, great job and I can't wait to see what you guys make next.
Hi and thanks :) Have you picked up the item to help you "get" the finger? Check around the tub. Otherwise it might be a bug. But we never experienced it before.
This reminds me of the old flash horror game Exmortis. Which is one of the most legendary horror games on the internet. That you nailed the vibe of spooky house is amazing!
Hey game name buddies, apparently your game was played by popular YouTube personality Markiplier! Someone mentioned it to me because people keep confusing our entries and I keep trying to point them at you instead. Do you all have a Twitter I can use to direct people?
Anyway, if you want to see the video, it's the third game in this one:
I was planning on taking a dive into this and going to bed. Now, not so much. Not to spoil anything, but being a dad, can definitely relate to the main character.
Very atmospheric, Very thrilling. Incredible. I had a slight sense that it was infuenced by Alone in the dark. I may be wrong. I would like to see a very long version of such game... very unsetting..... but very powerful!
Thanks. It was a fun thing to make. I actually had the original shadow gate and maniac mansion in mind when working. Even though it has nothing to do with it :p
I loved the setting and tone of this game, the ending was heart rending! The graphics were well done and fit the game perfectly.. also unique way of doing chase sequences! A lovecraftian toned horror done right.
As somebody who has made a 1-bit point&click before, let me say WELL DONE. Super high quality for a jam game. Looks great, spooky vibes. Especially loved getting chased. Good shit.

J'adore les histoires classiques de maison hantée ! Le style graphique et l'ambiance sonore donnent vraiment un aspect effrayant. BRAVO !
Merci :)
Love thw visuals. The colours really work 👍

look up dither-me-this for how to get this effect.

I have experienced the freeze multiple times when playing in the browser.
In the PC works fine - never saw it.
Hey, I'm looking for a new horror game to play, but I don't do well with jumpscares- does this have any?
It's not really that sort of game. It's very scenic and artistic with horror themes. Give it a try~
awesome :D thanks for the speedy reply!
A very nice experience! Well-written and nicely suspenseful. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks for the vidéo!

The word you're looking for is "Dither". It refers to this type of Noise rendering of images. It certainly has its charm.
oh my god thank you so much for this!!
Thanks for the vid! :)
oh shi its been 1 year already haha. make moreee gamess
I didn't quite understand the ending but this game is great nonetheless. Good job
Food for thought ;)
Cool ~~~aesthéticque~~~
This game is beautiful, thank you!
Full Playthough No Commentary
Thanks a lot for the video! :) We're glad you liked it
Nice!

Greetings - Daddelkutter

Tried out your game at 11:00!

Thanks! They are photos initially

Thanks! It was made in unity
Really? I thought it was Clickteam. Okay then.

Agreed! I was thinking the same thing.

Congrats on well-deserved recognition!this is marvelous. I loved it
I've spent money on vastly inferior games. If you put this on Steam I will happily pay for it.

We just discussed your game on our podcast! Come check us out!
Episode 27: Happy Halloween-aversary!

Thanks guys, It was really interesting to hear. Nice podcast format as well, It made me want to try the other games you talked about.
So unsettling, loved it! <3<3
I loved the setting and tone of this game, the ending was heart rending! The graphics were well done and fit the game perfectly.. also unique way of doing chase sequences! A lovecraftian toned horror done right.
I especially loved the visuals. Being a 90s kid I've always loved an old-fashioned point-and-click adventure!
An interesting game. We had a lot of fun testing it.
Great game, guys. Liked it so much I made a full video walkthrough!
I'm a fan of browser-point&click games, and this one has a very interesting style, good background sounds!
As somebody who has made a 1-bit point&click before, let me say WELL DONE. Super high quality for a jam game. Looks great, spooky vibes. Especially loved getting chased. Good shit.
