Hey there! Decided to play your game for a little theme video - five scary games centered around children (babies, school, etc). Yours is the first in the video!
I love the basic idea here for a two-minute horror experience. From an immediately unsettling title to the sound of a child crying for help, you set a mood right away, and the payoff to the little goose chase you're sent on is pretty dam good.
I do however feel like the main mechanic of making the darkness fade kind of lessens the impact of coming back to the room, considering you get to see the creature fade in. Perhaps you should instead have gone to inpect some noises, then return - and be met with a grisly sight right away!
But I do realize this done over a very short time, and I nonetheless enjoyed the idea greatly! Made for a good start to this vidoe, that's for damn sure.
Thanks a lot for gameplay and the comment, yeah I am not proud of that ending neither but I had very little time and a lot of ideas had to be thrown away :/ At least I got a lesson not to do things just before a deadline xd
This was an interesting game. It was a bit hard to see, and a little confusing at first, but I liked it overall! I didn't get to see the monster in the end though haha
I was confused at first bc of the dark spots, I didn't get it so fast. I liked the concept, I think it was creative how you tell the story in so little time
Pretty neat! Think the concept would've pulled off better if there was a better monster at the end, but considering time restraints and it being your first 3D game, I'd say it's a step in the right direction. So good job and keep at it~
Anytime. And yeah, honestly having dabbled in game development in my spare time, I'm just impressed people are able to make games like these in the short amount of time given. The foundations for a great game are already there, so I'm excited to see what you do in the future.
You are very welcome! I am an indie game dev myself and I love to try and help the community. I hope as my site grows your game will get lots of traffic!!! Thanks so much for making a game!!
This game was an interesting concept and I definitely didn't expect the ending, liked the idea of having to get close to the objects to actually see what they were. Anyway I added it to my horror game compilation below!
Thanks for playing, not gonna lie if I had more time i would find better "monster" at the end perhaps just a dark silhouette, or dauther will just tell you to "run." but i made this game just before a deadline and spider was first free asset I found xD
I get it, I knew it was for a 48 hour jam so I was like still good for two days. It was honestly kind of funny at the end with the spider because it was so random lol
Pretty cool game! Haven't seen many games explore horror from a parent perspective. Hearing the girl cry genuinely made me want to help her and tugged at my heart strings a bit. Which I'm sure was your point. Have you thought about making multiple endings? Thanks more making this game Dotto4213, I followed you and will be playing your other games!
Thanks for gameplay, unfortunately last daark spot is bugged and lot of ppl have problem with it xd, this game was created for two minute horror jam, so i couldnt make it longer :/
Ya it was bugged for me too. I got it to work by attempting to force myself in the room. That's why you don't see the spider well in my gameplay at the end
loved the mechanic of shining the flashlight on spots to make things appear. only problem i had was that at the end, my flashlight wouldn't make the final spot appear - i had to stand back at a certain distance until my cursor lit up and it was a bit finicky.
i'd also suggest making the flashlight a toggle instead of holding down the mouse for accessibility reasons.
It was a very fun, short game. A great way to kill time if bored and such. I am interested in knowing more of a backstory or something bigger, like a game, in the future to explore these large spiders. The only thing I really disliked is how much Maria cries, but it is a minor issue and something understandable as she is young and in fear. Overall had fun playing your game from 0:30 - 2:51
Very interesting game. The game is weird and disturbing in a good way, it gets under your skin. I enjoyed the game and included it in a 3 game gameplay that I will link below if you are interested in watching. Gameplay starts at 10:23 .Enjoy!

Didn't see that ending coming.
Thanks a lot for the video!
This was short and sweet.
Nothing really scary, the crying was scarier than anything else.
But, pretty good for a 2 minute horror.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the gameplay

I was confused at first bc of the dark spots, I didn't get it so fast. I liked the concept, I think it was creative how you tell the story in so little time
Yeah a lot of ppl had problem with that, I will fix these kind of problems in next games thanks for playing!

Thanks a lot, honestly Im not pround of that ending neither, but i had one day to make the ending and all sounds so I had to do it "just right" xd

This game confused me at first but I did not expect the ending to be like THAT! I played it on my channel and it's the 1st game

Thanks a lot! I considered that Idea but I had too little time to make it work, I barely made it working before the deadline xd
Ok have to say that the ending got me good. Check it out.
Thanks a lot for the gameplay!
Interesting idea. The equivilant to checking under the bed i think. My playthrough starts at 12:58!
Thanks for playing!
Cool and short little game, the ending was creepy and satisfying, wish it was slightly longer to figure out what was going on and why.
Thanks for the gameplay!

Ya it was bugged for me too. I got it to work by attempting to force myself in the room. That's why you don't see the spider well in my gameplay at the end

I see I should make the "reveal" mechnic more obvious, because all of the ppl who played it had a problem with that. Thanks for video and comment <3
Surpsingly good for how short it is. Very simple but better then a lot of game jam games ive seen.
Thanks a lot <3
