My Best Friend Sam's Cousin's Seance by LoveFromTom

[raw]
made by LoveFromTom for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

Your Mum recently passed in a tragic argon related accident. You can't help but think there's a way to get her back. A summoning ritual may be enough, but your thoughts are all over the place due to some issues with argon of your own. The notes you've left behind on your computer might be enough to navigate your workshop and figure out what special items are needed to complete the summoning ritual. Hurry, you're running out of time.

Great styling for a spaceship, I've never seen anything like it, cool drawing and music! Well done

The setting of this game and the environment you have built is crazy good and coherent, I would love to play an entire game set here; on this space shuttle, the funky devices, the computer with the notes, the hidden details, etc. Greatly designed and just as greatly executed!
Unfortunately, I was not able to revive my mom: I tried everything I could think of to put the items on the summoning ring, but it would always complain about something. Not sure what was going on! :C

A very well made game. Took some time to understand everything but once I understood it played very well. You can be very proud of this, great job!

Great game! love the overall visual style of the game, I like the effect that was added to make it look more on a screen, i did have a glitch where it wouldnt let me summon, like it wouldn't have the "something is missing" text, just nothing would happen, but besides that it was great, the ingredients aren't difficult to figure out which is nice, my jaw actually dropped when I had a run where I killed grandpa

Love the visuals and the curvature of the environment! The "something is missing" message was quite unhelpful for me and I was unable to figure out what I needed to summon before the time ran out. Amazing aesthetic though!

I am very surprised that in 3 days you were able to make such a complete game. I sat for about half an hour, sorting out the rules to pass the easiest level) Very complex game. I think I'll go back a couple more times and try to pass on medium and hard difficulty.

A VERY cool game for single player development! Lots of detail, good artwork, but also the game has its difficulty. Good luck with further development, the project can be developed further.

This was great! My only grip is the weirdness with the grinder's instructions. I loved grinding up grandpa for his tears.

Hard to figure at first, but it looked good (Love that CRT style!), I love the music and it was actually fun and lowkey funny! Good job!
