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.
Even though I have to make 2 parts of video because of constantly bugs keep happening,I totally enjoy this game man.the style, mechanic and everything else in there.I hope you continue making more games man. KEEP UPP!!!
(Love from Malaysia)
(Ps: The bugs usually happened when you do stuff too quick )
me enamore de este juego nunca avía visto un juego con demasiada tencion me gusta su temática pero me gustaría que tuviera modo multiplayer o mas historia con suspenso y que tuviera mas mapas pero eso es muy difícil pero me gusta su juego aun que sea corto pero esta re chido
Привет, я из России. Мне игра очень понравилась. Я прошел её несколько раз (один раз за друга который боялся в неё играть) Меня игра не сильно напугала, но заставила понервничать.
Мне понравилось:
1)Атмосфера.
2)Отличное сочетание цветов.
3)Отлично проработаны эмоции главного героя.
4)Главный герой смотрит в ту сторону где находится ведьма и на предметы которые можно подобрать.
5)Напряжение.
Респект Автору!
Удачи в новых проектах!
Hello I am from Russia. I really liked the game. I went through it several times (once for a friend who was afraid to play it) The game didn't scare me much, but it made me nervous. I like it: 1) Atmosphere. 2) Excellent color combination. 3) The emotions of the protagonist are well worked out. 4) The main character looks in the direction where the witch is and at the items that can be picked up. 5) Voltage. Respect to the Author! Good luck with your new projects!
this game is so SO good, it gives off a vibe of some "legend horror gameboy advanced" game which I really appreciate (like the gorefield gameboy thing) despite how short it is the game perfectly shows you what to expect from the full thing (may I add that there is a glitch sometimes where my character, the hag and the entire game will move slow even when I run I am slow and the hag is as slow as me but somehow faster) please try to fix that. I love how most of the colors used are blue, purple and black it gives a "you're in a truly dark place" and this video perfectly describes the game
perfect for a time of fun, personally SPOILER !!!! I would add an easter egg or something, in case when running away at the end of the game you turned the witch around going back to the basemen
Hola el juego es muy intuitivo y ademas que entretenido me gusto bastante su temática aunque lo sentí demasiado corto pero aun así me parece bastante bien lo que me gustaría y seria un sueño echo realidad que tuviera multiplayer lo vería algo muy entretenido puede que sean 2 niños o hasta 4 haciendo tareas especificas en donde debe hacer su trabajo para avanzar así no dejando todo a una persona para poder salir de la casa de la bruja y podría ser que tuviera distintos finales para el modo multiplayer o con varios monstruos o mapas pero esta claro que hacer un trabajo como este es muy complicado pero si se pudiera ayudar alguna manera para hacer esto realidad cuente conmigo.

Hello, the game is very intuitive and also that entertaining I liked its theme a lot although I felt it too short but still it seems quite good what I would like and it would be a dream come true that it had multiplayer I would see it something very entertaining it may be 2 children or up to 4 doing specific tasks where he must do his job to move forward so he does not leave everything to one person to be able to leave the witch's house and it could be that he had different endings for multiplayer mode or with several monsters or maps but it is clear that doing a job like this is very complicated but if you could help in some way to make this a reality, count on me.
Me gustaría que el juego fuera más largo pero es excelente incluso con este tamaño. Se que hacer un juego no es para nada fácil pero tu esfuerzo es visible al menos para mi. Me encanta el personaje de la niña DIOS los sprites de ella son hermosos!
ENGLISH:I would like the game was more full but its excelent even with this size. I know to make a game is not easy but your efforts in this game are visible a least to me. I love too much the character of the girl GOD the sprites of she are beautiful! ( tell me if everything i write its written good sorry but my english stills bad yet) by the way i unfortunately i cannot play this game because i don't have a pc. finally greetings from Colombia.
Everything about this game is wonderful! From the chase music to the animations and the details of your character breaking a sweat when the hag is nearby. I seriously love the way this game was made and also found myself very interested in its lore. Incredibly done and I Absolutely love it!
(I need help) I love the aesthetics of the game but...for some reason I cannot download it, every time I do it it is automatically deleted, I have been watching tutorials on how to prevent chorme from blocking downloads and stuff...but this particular game is the only one that does not respond to my attempts, ah...how sad
This is the first game in a very long time that legit made me need to take a few minutes to compose myself after a scare. This was very well done, my friend.
Hi, I'm player from south korea. I really love your game and with many many efforts, I finally beat wicked witch yesterday.So please tell me. What is last scene's mean? Witch came back? of just girl's PTSD? Please tell me that the latter one is true. I really hope girl's happiness and yours. Again, Thanks for great game.
Did you guys know when you're trapped in one of the rooms and you have nowhere to hide, you can close the door and wait for the hag to slip under the door and immediately open the door and then run to a hiding spot.
Just wanted to say that this game was absolutely amazing and it was a refreshing take on the horror genre. You could really feel the intensity and the absolute horror throughout the game.
I also wanted to know if your working on anything else in the future and if possible I would love to work with you.
I'm currently a university student doing my bachelors in design and I want to get into concept art and game design in the future.
I was also wondering if u had a Patreon or someplace where I can support u, other than that thank you so much for this great game!!!

I look forward to your current project!
Good Game

I really wanna tell how much the small details in the background of the game can tell a whole story! I've made a bunch of theories already, lol
i love this game hope there's Sequel, i need more story of this :)

Bug spotted, If you drop a item, In my case, A toothbrush by a door it might not be able to be picked up.

Estupid witch must die.
im so scared
one of the coolest games i have ever played
i was too scared to finish the game and had a friend do it for me which is not what i expected out of a game with such a cute/cartoony art style
one of the coolest uses of sound in a game i have ever "seen"! great job!
I played this game and I must say, I have no idea if I won or lost. If you are curious then you can check it here.
where can i buy you a coffee?

Love it both game concept and art. Great game.
I loved your game! Keep going!

ok,for real,hands down.This game seriously needs a 10hour long sequel.Best indie game I've played all year
I love the art and detail in this game. I felt more terrified than I usually do in horror games.
This game made me nervous in a way that I didn't think possible with a 2D side-scroller. Kudos to you, my friend.
Hey Pompasaur!!
