Hey bro,very nice game!Hi, I wanted to inform you that your game was played by 2 quite popular letsplayers, unfortunately they are in Russian, and if you want to see it, then there is a translation:В t
hese 2 people Windy31 and eugenesagaz,Windy-6.2 million eugene-million 4.6 this is not advertising. here are the links to these videos
On my own,I also played this game myself.I really liked it.I would like to show the backstory of all this and a new ending,Sorry for my English, I'm Russian and wrote all this through Yandex translator, also not advertising :D
REALLY cool game! I LOVE it!Good luck with making crazy and cool games in future 💖💖💖 (i wanna more games from u guys)I literally made my account for u because your game is awesome💖💖💖
Me and my girlfriend love your game! I had to make an account just to let you know how amazing this game is. The art style and the animation when she slinks under doors is amazing. We need a 2!
Thank you for such a amazing game!I hope there would me a sequel.Definetely would buy it! Sorry for my bad english) Just wanted to say that i believe in your success.
Ah, there is a lot left up to assumption, partially because it's a short project, and also partially to give myself a lot of elbow room if I wanted to make a sequel. Thanks a bunch for talking about it, gives me a lot to think about!
man this game the is asome and cool, but ai find a lag... it was that a key or other objects that have been usen if u drop them in the dark objects they desapear of game
This game was so good that I literally made fan art. I hope there's a sequel sometime or maybe some more of these awesome characters. Not to bug or be annoying, but I just loved every aspect of the game, but the characters are what stood out for me.
This game was amazing, it has the stile, the asthetics and the spooks! The objectives are clear (exept the one with the book, a little hint, it acts as a step to jump to), and the animations! OMG the animation! In short, is a wonderfull game! 10/10
Here, have a video I made, take it as a walkthrough if you want, and leave me a like if you feel like it :P
Afer playing the game a few times, I have concluded that it's great! Though I would like to make some suggestions in case you want to make it longer or make another one similar:
-I think it would be even scarier if the noises you made alerted the witch. We kind of see this with the music box and when you take the key from her bedroom, but there could be more. For example, running, jumping or droping a book while the witch is downstairs would make her run upstairs and quickly walk left and right.
-Not only would noise make her walk towards the player, but making noise while they are hiding from her while she is right next to them could also make the witch discover you.
-I think it would be really nice if you had to interact with things in order to be able to hide, instead of always having an obvious hiding place. For example, she would have to lift up the tablecloth of a table before hiding under it, or open and close a door to hide in a closet. The player would have to look around, think and guess which places could be a place to hide, as they hear the witch approaching.
-More weird animals like the snail. :D
-I think it would be cool if, when the girl hides in a closet, the game switched from third person POV to first person, so she can only see the witch from a small gap between the doors.
-If you make the game longer, I was thinking you could add more backstory, but I think you should keep making it subtle. For example, maybe at some point while you are hiding the witch sees herself in the mirror and cries, and you look at her from a small gap in the closet? I can see why you might not like it, since it could make her less scary.
That's all I can think of. Sorry for the long comment! I hope that if you see this you will find some of this interesting! :)
interesting suggestions for sure! i do want to make a sequel after finishing my current game project, and i will consider these when planning for it. It's very unlikely that I will expand upon this build as I programmed the foundation really quickly with no consideration for scalability, so it would need to be a sequel which expands on the mechanics and fixes some of the gameplay issues.
I was surprised to learn this game was free! I've seen so many expensive games that are nowhere near this quality! I look forward to your future games.
Hello from Kazakhstan. I really liked your game. It has nice-looking pixel graphics, interesting gameplay, and a good soundtrack. And most importantly, the game keeps you in suspense until the very end. In general, I put 10/10 and look forward to your next projects.
P.S. There is one problem with installing the game from the itch.io app. The game does not want to install in any way and gives an error that I dropped below. This is very disappointing, although everything is installed via the website without any jambs. Dear developer, if you are reading this please try to fix this error. Good luck with your next projects!
oh i've never really messed with the app, that's a weird error. i've looked into it and seems like it's an issue with the app itself? apparently multiple games give this error message. i'm honestly not sure as to how to fix it, sorry!
I wish there would be an extended version of the game with more levels, more challenges, more witches (without teleporting ability) and some other difficulties.
Its so much fun i love this game!!! Its my favorite puzzle escape game!!
it flows so well. the pixel art creates a different kind of experience. and the mechanic of hiding behind furniture its amazing, its so cool to see that kind of thing in a 2-D game.

Yesterday my sister said about how exciting would be if comes a Gnarled Had 2, I would love it because I liked the plot of the first game.
Thank you for such a amazing game!I hope there would me a sequel.Definetely would buy it!
Sorry for my bad english) Just wanted to say that i believe in your success.
Thank you!!
I can't install this from the itch.io desktop app :( might be a problem for other users too. Download and install from browser still works fine.
yeah other games have this issue on the desktop app too, i think it's a problem with the app.
A very good scary game! I really hope you continue with this and make a sequel.
thank you!
There should be a mobile version. It will be a lot of fun. I can't play it on my phone.
sorry, but i don't think the game would play well on a touch screen.
We really enjoyed playing & discussing Gnarled Hag on Indie Game Club (it’s like a book club for indie games)!

Glad that you like the suggestions! And I think a sequel would be great, a lot of people would buy it.
I look forward to your current project!
Good Game
