Hi! just recently made this account just to comment here. Saw your work being retweeted online and thought of trying it. It was amazing! I love how it ended as well. The game mechanics are simple yet oh boy do I love it! I hope you'd get more support and love for this gem, and continue on making games like these or making a this way better!
While I do plan to revisit horror someday soon, for now my next project is going to be pretty different from this one. Hopefully people find that one enjoyable too!
Your game is amazing, my only complain is that it doesn't have an alternative good ending, for example by figuring out something about the witch past like the family portrait with one face missing, or by saving the crying kids in the basement or by completing a hidden puzzle of some sort, or even by killing the witch for real with something else besides the axe, because the current ending looks like a bad ending, thanks and keep making good horror games like this one :3
The artstyle used here is really unique (as in, no horror game i know so far used an "american cartoon"-esque artstyle). You really need to make a full version of this if this can get more attention ! (The fact that it plays like Granny and have children artstyle to boot would probably garner audience from those games !)
Really great game! Kept me busy for a good while trying to beat it and the jumpscares are really good! Love the ambience, especially when playing w/ headphones. Eventually I got frustrated having to continually start over from the beginning, and every time I got the axe my controls stopped working, so I ended up watching a playthrough. Great ending! This would be a great full-length game :)
The end chase bit requires to press the "use item" button after picking up the axe, though I have heard from others that for some reason they can't do anything at all after picking it up, I'm not sure the exact reason.
The punishment for getting caught being so harsh was to add tension the further you get in, though I can definitely understand it becoming more frustrating than engaging, especially considering how it's not super clear what you're supposed to do after picking up the axe. I'll definitely take that into consideration going forward, if I ever decide to do a sequel or remake.
Sooo about the plot... Is the witch posessed or something? Because it definetly looks like something is inside her and doing all this things while she is just dead or unconscious. Or that could be just my imagination :/
* sorry about mistakes, I just recently started learning english
That's a really interesting theory! It definitely does look like something is wearing her skin. I do have a definitive backstory written for the witch and her family, but I'm going to keep it secret for now in case I end up making a sequel.
Just saw Manlybadasshero play this, and I can say that I instantly and always adore pixelated horror games like this. Makes me wish that there was more, because thiswas super top notch! I hope to see more horror projects of yours in the future! Also, stay safe! :)
This game is very similar to Mr. Hopps Playhouse. You have to solve puzzles and avoid detection and get out alive! God I hate that witch whenever she got me. Definitely worth the play and looking for more like these kinds of games!
I recently saw a stream of the game (I'm too coward) and looks really good, I love the artstyle and the little things in the game, you make a nice job u_u

Yes more alternative endings would've been really good, I agree.
For now the ending, although technically bad, is open-ended in case I ever decide to make a sequel. Thanks for playing!

Thanks! I might do a remake or a sequel someday!
And I'm here to encourage you

You are right, she doesn't look like the other witches in the family portrait, she looks... possesed...

* Your english is great!
* Hello! :)
had to play this thanks to manly. GAH this game is really great! Reminds me a lot of the submachine series (mostly because of the artwork)
All in all, It was great. I cant wait to see what else you make man.
Thanks a lot for playing!
I can definitely see the similarities in art style to the submachine flash games.
Show post...
great jobs
Thank you!
Thanks for playing and thank you for the follow!

Very good game, I played with my friends, we completed today.
And a question, there's a history behind the game? I do some theories.
Say hi to Brazil :)
Yes there is a history! Thank you for playing, glad you liked it!!
You need to add a NSFW tag cause this witch about to make me act up!
