Super fun experience to be part with you guys ! It was my first Game Jam and hope so not the last :) Best Team !

Oh no ! You'll have to endure us again I guess :p <3
Great job ! Great team !!

Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel.

This was a unique and cool horror game revolving around the main character finding a way out of the house through identifying the illusions in the house. I don't think I managed to complete the game as I got stuck at the bedroom but I find the concept of the game really interesting, where the player is able to rotate the house, adjust the light and identify illusions. I do enjoy puzzle-based horror games so it would be cool if there were a larger variety of puzzles relating to the idea of the game implemented. It would also be cool if more story-telling was done to keep the player interested in continuing the game as well as more information about the main character provided to attract players to find out more about the main character and to continue to uncover the main character's secrets (Why did she end up here?). 

The main issue I had with the game is really the controls of the game. It is not easy to move around with the current controls as you can see in my playthrough, and it would be cool if the game just made WASD the main keys for walking around.

Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

Thank you very much for your very gratifying and complete feedback! You are so sweet!

Thanks to your comment, I understood that one of the problems with the controls is the fact that we are a French team and so we put the game in AZERTY naturally. You can of course change them but indeed we should have put them in QWERTY automatically as well for us.

Thanks a lot for your compliments on the graphics, the sound and the gameplay ! It's great that you like the mechanics so much! We want to continue the game afterwards to present it to a contest this summer, so it will be updated as we go along. You will be able to test it again and see it evolve if you want :)

I'll be glad to see your channel ;)

Have a lovely day ! <3

Ps : For the bedroom check the walls you might (un)see something to one of them !

Thanks for the hint! Will try it during my own time!

Cool implementation of gameplay, music and graphics.

I want to note that the control settings plunged me into a kind of stupor. But in any case, it's a good job!

Thank you so much ! :D

You are the second person to talk about it so I take your feedback on the controls even more seriously! What shocked you so much ? :) I'm really interested in your feedback !

Wonderful day to you ! <3

The fact is that the standard control is ZQWERTY, which is not very convenient for me, and the change of these settings appears after the start button, which is why I did not notice them. It may be worth starting the settings first. Thanks for the answer!

You're right and it is completely our faul t! In any case it's  well noted ;)

Thanks to you again for your feedback, it's very precious for the future !

Hello guys!

I'm kindof confused... 

Can you explain to me what the controls do? Not all the keys seem to be working or maybe I'm not getting the idea of how to play.

Hello ! No worries :)

The game is only played with keyboard and mouse.

You have to decide if you want to play in AZERTY or QWERTY (menu at the beginning - title screen or by pausing the game by pressing the ESCAPE button)

Controls :

  • ZQSD or WASD => Move the character in the environment
  • A or Q / E => Turn the room
  • Space => Jump
  • Left click of the mouse => interact with elements 
    • lights
    • Elements to make disappear

If you have any comments, feedback or questions don't hesitate !
Have a beautiful day ! <3

I had a great experience creating this game with you guys !  
Hope we would create another one in the future ! :D

<3

So glad you liked it ! I hope it makes you want to do lots more ;) <3
Great job ! Great team !!

As part of the art team, I had a blast working on this game.
A big thanks to all of my teammates.
