Really impressive game for a Game Jam! I look forward to playing more of your games. There isn't anything wrong with story telling that uses reading and such, but it's great to have a game visually tell a story that you have to use you imagination a little to fill in blanks. A story without tons of reading or dialogue. Perfect atmospher and good audio clues for danger. I love the 'look around' function which makes navigating easier without the need for a full map.

Controls are simple and very affective. The map is appropriately sized and there are creative new tools, locations, and secrets to find every in-game day. The player isn't searching forever for the same thing over and over. Exploring was fun and always brought something new and rewarding right around each corner.

I collected resources because they allowed me to keep exploring. I never felt I was collecting resources just for the sake of continuing to collect resources. Resource management aspect of game excourages exploration, rather than being just an annoy end unto itself. What I think makes this game so successful as an experience is the following: Really enjoyed this game! I liked it so much I decided to pay for it on Steam. This game was inspired by this Famicase design: THE DEVIL HAUNTS ME was created for A GAME BY ITS COVER (2018) 'an annual game jam about turning the fictional cartridge art of the My Famicase Exhibition into the real thing.'

and if you're in a comfortable financial position, consider giving a dollar or two!Īt $1, you'll nab a digital copy of the game's OST (12 songs, and 2 sfx)!Īt $5, you'll also get the 42 page Making Of PDF! It contains early/unused art assets, photography, and lots of commentary about the game's development.īut don't feel bad if you can't/don't want to pay :) I'll try my absolute best to address them! If you find any bugs, please kindly let me know in the comments section below. Get the resources you need to survive, one day at a time. but be careful, there's something else in these woods. Cut down trees, hunt deer, gather water, and explore the strange woods.
