Wow, thats an increadibly polished game! Played all the way trough hard mod, which was in some way easier to me because the placement of the parts was the same as before. I loved the fact that you gave every person an individual text when they get killed, and the overall idea was pretty good. Felt definitely in some stranger danger while playing :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game all the way through and sharing some solid feedback! :))

I love this, it's fun. Really complete and playable game for such a short amount of time.

Great atmosphere and simple but fun gameplay! I enjoyed it a lot and went on to play again while trying to target only the damned. I have cleansed Blather’s soul by exorcising him. May he go on to be a more trustworthy individual.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing our game... I'm so happy you enjoyed targeting the damned. Definitely my favourite bit!

Loved the uniqueness & polish! Great work, am I the only one who found the hard mode easier maybe due to fact that I already knew the placement of pieces from before? Couldn't find the easter egg tho  😭

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing our game all the way through and sharing your feedback... Good shout with the piece placement in the hard mode, we could definitely have made it harder like that :))

this was a fun, arcade-style game with great visuals and a banger soundtrack! Some frustrating moments where all the sacrifices just ran away as I was targeted, but I enjoyed it

I loved it, amazing art, great humor, on a simpler side in terms of gameplay, but do not take it as a con it works really well. I'm a bit sadistic so trying to gather as many sacrifices as possible was mine side objective :P Really great entry, and hey if  you guys like stranger danger :P our game may have something for you as well!

Thanks a lot for playing our game all the way through! I'm so happy you got into gathering sacrifices... I'll check out your game soon!

cool concept! i liked the gameplay, the main mechanic is very interestiing. the difficulty was a bit on the harder side…

Loved the art here. Felt a real sense of stranger danger when I had multiple possessed guys on me at once, but was incredibly satisfying to neutralize the 2nd with the 1st. I had fun!

Developer

Thanks so, so much for playing our game all the way through! It makes me so happy that you discovered the neutralising 2nd with 1st mechanic - it was one of my favourite bits that we left unsaid for players to figure out :))

The solid gameplay hook would have been enough for me to complete the game and enjoy it, but it also has this super charming presentation, banger music and the cutest art, really polished experience! And the epitaphs were so good! All of them were really smart and funny. The downside of that however is that it made me want to put more strangers in the danger's way :')

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing our game all the way through! We had so much fun coming up with the epitaphs... I'm really glad you enjoyed them too!

The notes were hilarious, I loved the comparison between the good villagers' future deeds and the ones who were exorcised, it was a really nice touch. Wasn't sure what the difference was between hard mode and normal, they felt similar in terms of difficulty to me. Overall one of my favourite games this jam though, amazing concept (and good message about watching out for stranger danger!)

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing our game all the way through! Not everyone reads flavour text, and it's  made me so happy that you did :)) we had a lot of fun coming up with the notes and I'm so glad you enjoyed them

very fun game! loved the notes under the dead strangers very nice touch, stranger danger lol

Developer

Thank you for playing our game all the way through! :))

This was fantastic! Good theme integration, tight controls, clear gameplay that rewards smarts and reflexes. Really nicely done, I have no real notes. Deaths could have been more dramatic? juicy even gory, it would juxtapose so well with the fantastic with the children's book hand drawn art.

Again much love.

Noooooo my potential prom date!!! Gone too soon....I can't believe an evil stranger would do this..... 

In all seriousness, this was incredibly polished for a game jam game. The art was gorgeous, the music was well chosen , and I love that you looked at the theme from multiple perspectives!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing our game... And as for prom dates... You could do better than Belle anyway ;))
