Im ngl im raging at this game a little bit. Im supposed to pepper spray Ian once I leave the kitchen arent I? according to the walkthrough. He keeps going from room to room instead of waiting for me outside the kitchen door.
This game is so awesome the art style is so cute and everyone looks so cool, the puzzles are a bit tricky (I may just be dumb) but it's overall a really good game with a great story!
Great job with this game; the visuals are really nice, particularly the ending images. You created an interesting narrative with a nice variation between the endings to make it feel worth hunting them all down. I was not expecting Ian's box of trophies in the basement, no wonder our friends don't like him if people just go missing after visiting him.
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I was able to make the pilled spray bottle without lighting the stove with the matches.
This was sooooo good. I keep downloading games like this, not knowing what to expect and then being surprised! The game isn't super long but it has been really well paced, I feel like a lot of puzzle games struggle to get the balance between too simple and impossibly hard that this game has achieved. It was super fun to play, the art (esp character portraits) was really good and I was excited to explore each ending. Great job!
Wow that was fun! I enjoyed playing the game and I was curious to try everything and get all the endings, I got 5 so far including the true ending, so there's one left.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I'm no game developer, but I have a couple of points to highlight about the game.
What I loved about this game:
The art style, I already follow the artist and I love their art style, the game's art style is similar to it. I also love the purple-ish color scheme of the whole game.
The music is immersive and really good, it fits the style of the game and it helps immerse the player into the game.
The character design. This is an extension of the art style, but I especially loved the character design.
The story is immersive, the hide and seek technique, the puzzles, the music, the dark atmosphere, and the context of being kidnapped by a psycho all cooperate to make the game suspenseful. It feels like watching a horror movie except you're controlling the characters, and the game's style helps in making it feel scarier. I love it!
Some things that can be improved:
Automatic transitions, when going through doors and stuff, it would be a bit smoother if it happens automatically instead of having to press the spacebar every time.
Adding a skip button for conversations, this is useful when you've already finished the game and want to get the other endings, you won't have to sit through parts that you've already seen.
Some suggestions that I have seen in similar games:
Each ending has a unique graphic, it would be awesome if you can download those graphics (and some wallpapers or concept art) from the developer's website.
Adding more chapters to this game, or making a bigger game using the same concept. The characters are interesting, I felt that I want to know more about their backstories. I wanna know more about what happened to the previous students, what happened to Ian's family, and so on. The story was so interesting that I didn't get enough of it, I wanted more!
Overall, I enjoyed this game, I'm definitely looking forward for more games by the developer. Great job 👏
Thank you so much for this review! I really appreciate you taking your time to highlight these points. As for skipping dialogue, holding down the spacebar speeds up the game a bit. I forgot to put it in the controls though 😭

Hello! This seems to be a bug and I genuinely can’t find it :((. Can you tell me step by step what you did since this section of the game started.
I really loved playing this game. I liked the art style, and the puzzles were fun too. Good Job!
I didn't even know it was the first ending lol

Very good game
nice scary
i really enjoyed this game! i loved slowly unraveling the mystery and the time mechanic was really fun.
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I was able to make the pilled spray bottle without lighting the stove with the matches.
Looking forward to playing what you create next.
That is indeed a bug! Thank you for informing me :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

even with walthrough I can't get end 3. I got the spray but when I find Ian he just kills me
Where do you die? In the hiding section, or near the end?
after i make the spray, i leave the kitchen, and when timer is zero, Ian kills me as usual
That is weird... I'll re-test that section! Did you follow the walkthrough exactly? I'm so sorry :(
no, it's ok:) I think i did exactly what walkthrough says, maybe i should try again from the start
Do you leave the kitchen and find the timer still running?
I bloody loved this game, I hope it truly does pop off for you because it would be a shame to keep this game hidden in the archives!

does this skipping work only in MV?
because I've played so many rpgm games and had no idea T_T
I think so!!
