Amazing atmosphere all along, good job!
Nice short Game :)
Short Small Games About A Child Who Needs Happiness then Playing with Curses. And It’s Well Done! I love the vibes.
I really liked it when the shark showed up!! Definitely was NOT expecting that. 9/10 the aliens were unbelievable and prevent me from rating it a 10.
Cool small little game! No complaints. Played at 29 min mark
I enjoyed the game. I was stuck in a loop for a bit there but the loop turned into a speedrun that I had a lot of fun with. 10/10
Enjoyed this, it was a cool little game!
Demo nie ma nic do zaoferowania, nie polecam!
Interesting little game!
very cool game! The background sounds made it really scary - thunder, creaking noises, scary music. Nice story and game design as well.

sad to see bro was never getting out of that, it was either die or replay the same day and neither helped him get the love he deserved poor "p".
Unexpected but I fell in love with speed running the ritual. Who has the best speedrun time?
Looping days cause of the deal was a nice touch loved it!
Interesting concept! Loved the idea, and would like to see more.
Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
Short but not bad at all! Really solid plot and staging. Having to build the ritual for nothing to seemingly happen until later. Really solid idea indeed! Made a video on it.
interesting game, i didn't quite get the choice option since it seems like we don't really have much of a choice (i don't wanna spoil lol) but it was a cool game.
your game is the second game :)good game

PRETTY GOOD GAME! Keep it up! 10/10
The story, sound, and graphics are all wonderfully executed. Great work!
Muy chulo, me gustaron tanto el concepto como el gameplay.
Really cool concept here 👀 The PSX-style visuals mixed with the ritual mechanics create a super tense atmosphere without needing jump scares everywhere.
As a player, the step-by-step ritual felt great, but I’d love to see: • More branching outcomes based on small choices
• Extra environmental storytelling in the manor
• Slightly longer buildup before the final decision to deepen the emotional hit
The core idea of hunger, guilt, and desperation driving the ritual is seriously strong. With a bit more expansion, this could hit even harder.
Awesome work — curious to see where this goes next 🔥

MIDNIGHT RITUAL
What a great game! I loved the cinematic view and the cozy lighting. It's a really well made game with lots of attention to detail. A bit short but an amazing experience nonetheless. Good luck with your upcoming projects! ❤️
promising :)
