I had a good but stressful time avoiding the weird little clown XD I LOVE the art, it is very clean, great use of the viewpoint. The little effects for objects were fun to discover. Great character designs and animations, loved the lil blushing guy at the end of my playthrough. The sounds and music are great too! The alarm really helped me get away from partygoers when I wasn't paying attention XD The level design feels very smooth. Would totally play a larger version of this game where you hang out in a mansion and avoid lots of people. Lil safe quiet spots as save points would be a cozy addition perhaps if it was expanded with different levels or events. \n\nI think some small critiques might be: objects are a little hard to click, maybe being able to hover over\/click the whole object when you are near it would be good. \nGreat work to the whole team!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":784779,"author_name":"LDJam user 11377","author_uid":"11377","epoch":1649134709,"text":"Nice pixel art and animation.

The art and animations were very well done and had a lot of personality. Even though the play space isn\u2019t that big you definitely get a great sense of the world and all the characters made me curious to learn more about them (which I guess is the opposite of what the unknowable wants!)  I also think you guys picked good colors and indicators to let the player quickly know what they\u2019re supposed to do, where they want to go, and what\u2019s dangerous.\n\nI agree with previous commentators that I was wishing for keyboard controls halfway through the gameplay and found the click movement to be fatiguing. Though if there were ways to make the click movement more enjoyable, I think that\u2019d also be a nice improvement. Like if interacting with certain objects let you move more spaces or move in different ways (e.g. after interacting with object 1 maybe you are now forced to jump to some tile y spaces away from you). I think stuff like that could also keep the gameplay fresh as you\u2019d have to find new ways to travel which is the bulk of the strategy right now.\n\nOverall I think this game was a great short & sweet entry that did a good job presenting a spooky yet cozy vibe.
