It's got the moodiness down. The idea is pretty neat too. I had a hard time avoiding the second enemy, I kept getting caught on the table/closet.

Hey there good job!

It took me waaaay to long to understand where "the table" mentioned in the description was x)

The key "1" at the table creates a bomb not bullets, but that may be a typo in your description (both itch and there).

I love the fact that I have to plan my expedition and spare my bullets. In addition to what is existing a less effective way to defend yourself that does not have ammunition would be cool or removing the movement slow when reloading.

Congratulations, I had a blast playing your game!

What an agony to kill the first enemy and not have ammo to kill the second, and the reload is 1 in 1 ahahaha

Really enjoyed it!

For a dark survival game and as someone who doesn't play much of those, this was fun. it took a bit to figure out the controls but it is a nice gameplay cycle and provides some challenge. well done to yourself and your team <3

Good game. I liked the environmental design even tho it was a bit hard to see, with how dark the game is :sweat_smile:
- I feel that the time it takes to carry the ghosts to the workbench, craft new bullets or reloading your gun is way too long, especially when it takes 6 bullets to kill those ghosts.
- The game started to freeze every other second, the freeze time increased the longer i played.
I couldn't survive for long, but i still enjoyed it. Good game and good job :thumbsup:

Good game. I liked the environmental design even tho it was a bit hard to see, with how dark the game is. The game's mood is just depressing because of the darkness.

The concept is unique, but the game as it is, is horribly balanced.

It takes way to long to harvest the ghosts for any reward. Reloading takes way too long. Ghosts take too many bullets to kill and starting ammo for bullets is far too low. Carrying the bodies takes too much time.

I feel like you could improve the gun mechanics by reducing the amount of bullets it takes to kill a ghost. Or give the player more ammo, and a shorter reload.

I really liked the design of the ghost, i liked how dark the game was, and I feel that some spooky sounds for the ghosts and unsettling music is all the game needs added to be very creepy.
