Well, this was creepy. :smile: The interface is a bit clunky, but has the classic horror vibes with a twist.

That was a one spooky game, reminds me of some south korean horror films! Nicely done with the characters and backdrops!

I love it, such a fun twist. The drawn characters were not bad at all, good job. The music set the mood for me properly, and I laughed at first when realizing what was happening, thanks. =]

Nice twist on a dating sim. Super creepy atmosphere throughout! User interface could have been worked on a little but it wasn't too off putting in the overall scheme of things.
Artwork was attractive too.

Feel free to check out my game :) : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/harvest-doom

I would love to see a proper walktrough. I didn' really undersatnd mechanics and would kill guys after one dialog line or be busted. Besides my incompetence the vibe of this game is my jam, and maybe i'm a psycho but I would love to see surgeon minigame here.

Good visuals and music. I'm like how you present a game story. Find a bit not intuitive what to do. I will be waiting a walkthrough, to see full game.

Nicely written, I kinda went into it not expecting gruesome murder, but I was pleasantly surprised!

This game is interesting.
I'm not fan of dating sims, but I think that the idea is good.

It must be my fault but i got stuck after the 'intro'. i did like the surprise twist at the start and the mood is set great.

Nice twist on the dating sim there. I like games that are a bit darker. Good work!

Hey, great job with this! I love the deliciously dark twist - it's surprising that there aren't other dating sims that follow the same sort of idea (at least, none that I've heard of).

I would say that perhaps the 'secret' was unveiled a little quickly, and that the main character is a bit too clumsy about hiding her true intentions, but I think it worked really well: it added just a little bit of humour to what would otherwise be a very heavy game. Plus, it was made in 72 hours... No-one could reasonably expect you to go for the slow reveal, right?

All in all, fantastic work! Such an unsettling look into the mind of a murderer.

I really like your version of a murder dating simulator, fun twist and overall a creepy mood. Some of the dialog options are hilarious but I find it kind of hard to predict the implication of my choices. It always seemed like I picked the "wrong" choice and something unpredictable happened.

You have done a good job writing all the dialog, it takes a lot of time especially when branching the dialog with multiple choices. We did it in our adventure game to and it was a lot of work.

I love the concept, and it's very funny take on being a dark murder in my opinion!

I like the art style choice, it adds a lot on the strange mood. Also, I don't know how, but I managed to win. Good job! :)

Creepy! This certainly is one of the better games in the theme category.
The horror atmosphere (especially by the use of the ambient audio) is really good. The dating sim comes a little short in my opinion. I did expect less linearity and more options in the dialogs. I only played it once but it didn't feel that the few choices I could make would have made a difference. As I understood, in the end they are all dead, anyway. Or have I just been lucky? :)

Witty combination! It really innovates the date sims. This could become a genre by itself!

**PROS:**
Characters' art style is great.
Silly in a good way.

**CONS:**
Controls weren't all that intuitive.
Dialogue could use some cleaning up

**OVERALL:**
Doing a jam game with story and dialogue is a tough business! If the dialogue choices were more meaningful and it were a little easier to use, players would have an easier time connecting to your interesting concept. Nice work.

Interesting setup. I didn't understood clearly where to go, how to meet victims so i clicked on random buttons and at a moment a victim appeared but i have no idea why. Giving clear goals and the way to achieve them is something to improve.
Keep working on games ;)

Cool idea.

Controls weren't really intuitive to me and a little buggy on restart (no character images or textboxes). Also there is quite a number of typos.

The graphics are really good and music sets the mood pretty good.

Overall a pretty solid entry. Well done.

It picked my interest even if I don't really like dating sims. I wanted to know the rest of the story, and that was nice! Good job :smile:

Solid core concept. The Ui could be done a little better but the graphics and sound more than make up for it. Great job!! Check out our first entery https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer

I'm afraid I got stuck after being introduced to my victims. But the creepy? Certainly there.

Wow, nice art, graphic and sound. It creates a great mood.

And what a creepy story...

The not so pretty UI with the text destroys a little bit the rest of the graphics.

And the controls weren't intuitive for me.

Well done!

Good job with the sound design and environments. I would have liked to see what she ended up doing with the parts though. I played the game like 7 times to get to the end, mostly because i kept checking the options and getting game over on purpose, but the end screen was a bit disappointing after my play through.
