This actually Might be one of the most well developed itch.io Games I've Ever Played.. The Ambience had me going crazy and The Resident Evil 1 Transition Were So Heat😁👍
(Game is In The Video, Hopefully Y'all Enjoy and Like😭🙏)
I really loved the feeling of nostalgia the game gives you. It reminded me of the old horror games I used to play on the PS2, from resident evil to silent hill games. Thanks For the GAME!!!
A nice short challenge. Ultimately I enjoyed it and gave my thoughts at the end. I appreciate you continued to improve your work even after the jam had been completed.
late homework has like the perfect amount of modernization on a thoroughly recreated classic horror gameplay loop. love love the more unique encounters and the portal doors are a really clever way of optimizing space and gaining utility. the back up camera is so appreciated too I loved being able to pick which scenarios I wanted the fixed cameras in. the whole thing took me 2 tries and on the last one I very narrowly escaped. the shock I felt when I got all the pages felt exactly like it did back in silent hill, just having a poorly mapped out area in my mind and booking it for whatever door was open with that pounding track playing. and speaking of doors the cute lil animations for going through them never got old. normally I would try to provide some constructive criticism if it's desired, but I genuinely can't think of anything I'd change.

TL:DR; A fantastic piece that perfectly blends the style of Animal Crossing and the original Silent Hill games in a unique way and I want more!
I cannot stress enough how much I would love to see this expanded upon. I think the overall art style is the strongest element about this game and I would love to see a full fledged game in this style! It works so well in terms of striking the uncanny valley for me with the cute chibi characters in contrast to the dilapidated environments and eldritch monsters.
I must also commend you on utilizing the environment effectively to sneak in subtle but effective scares that keep the player on edge. The murmuring in the boys bathroom, the ghost of your own character popping up in various places, and more were really nice touches that I feel should be highlighted more when talking about this game.
However, this is where I must start talking about the issues that I had with the game. To begin with, the controls.
I am unsure if I was the only one with this issue, but the controls that were displayed on screen were not accurate. For example, the map in game says you have to press the back button in order to display the map. However, that didn't work for me. For some reason the button for me to display the map was the left trigger. This wouldn't have been an issue if there was an option to remap the controls, however to my knowledge there isn't any. (For context, I used a PS4 controller for my playtime.)
Speaking of controls, another issue I had in this regard was the inability to stay in third person. I personally am not a fan of fixed camera angles as they can be really disorienting to me usually, so I was pleased to learn that I could switch to a third person perspective at any given time. However I was quickly shocked to find out that the game would often force me out of third person into a fixed camera angle almost every time I entered a new room and I had to manually switch over to third person every time. This was really annoying to me.
Another issue I have in this game is the monster itself and how it "hunts" the player. I use "hunt" in quotation marks because the monster was such a non threat throughout the majority of my play time. Its general roaming speed is low, you have be basically five feet away from it to see you, you can easily outrun it, and you can easily escape it but walking into any room throughout the building.
Yet another major issue I had with the monster was how it worked when you collected all ten pages and had to get back to the entrance. The fact that it automatically knew where you were, even if it was on the other side of the map, is in my eyes, cheap.
And truthfully this is a shame because the monster itself is scary. The visual design is great, the audio cues are fantastic, and the music that plays when it chases you is wonderful. I just wish it was more of an actual threat that required more threat in terms of trying to evade it and didn't rely on cheap gimmicks to actually endanger the player.
All in all I had a lot of fun with the game and I firmly believe that with a few tweaks here and there this could be a hit. Considering the amount of time that you had to make this game, what you have here is nothing short of impressive overall. I hope you expand on this more if you are interested and I can't wait to see what other products y'all put out!
Great game, great atmosphere, love it. It's not easy to control moving at first, but increases the difficulty though :D Honestly I got lost in this small room, couldn't remember which door to be out hhhhh
I love survival horror games since I was young (9 years old) the first Resident Evil or Silent Hill. These games give me high vibes of that games. I love it!!!
i played this for a few minutes but its almost midnight and i am too much of a weenie to finish this tonight. but holy moly the atmosphere is so good i need to finish this game it is amazing.

This game was AWESOME! I wish there was more.
This is an amazing game, I love the early survival horror feel, not to mention the design of the anomaly is really creative.
The game provokes a sense of nervousness and terror that reminds me of when I first played Silent Hill.
Awesome job! Definitely recommend it!

I really loved playing this. The different sounds and effects in each room added a lot to the atmosphere.
This game is AWESOME! I really like the art direction and the camera angles. A sequel set in an abandoned 2 story mansion would be perfect.
This was such a decent small horror gem!
I've enjoyed the game, good work on this!
can this be added to steam
This game is a mix of cute and terrifying. The character is adorable, and the game is very spooky. I loved it!
Here's my gameplay if you'd like to see:

Para mi primera vez lo logre, pero el monstruo siempre me causo vértigo y me hizo quedarme en un salón, ya que presencia no desaparecía.Pero el juego me justo mucho, me recordó a jugar un juego de la PS1, mas juegos así. Este lo recordare en mi corazón.
