This was great! As a huge fan of the old NES ICOM games, I felt right at home with the controls. It was a bit weird having to constantly pick a verb, instead of the last used one staying selected but I think changing it now would be way more work than it's worth.
I hope you decide to make this into a fully fledged game!
Thanks for the kind words! I totally understand where you're coming from with the selection staying selected. There is a key (I think it's shift?) that'll reselect what you selected. Hopefully that helps in the long run. I had it so it was set to stay but ultimately I took it out for reasons. Anyway, thanks for playing! -Scottie
All good! It took a bit of time to adjust to, but once I got used to it, it was fine. I was playing with a controller - it felt more natural that way haha. I can't wait for the full version to come, whenever that may be - I'm patient :)
whoa, I didn't realize you were the one(s) behind Fishing Vacation, too! I've been meaning to check that game out for a while. I need to get on that haha
The demo was wonderful and it was over much too soon! This has been one a few games that nod back to those old Macventure/Kemco titles and have gotten me introduced to the whole genre of this type of point 'n' clickin'. I'd be thrilled to see a full game of this.
I really enjoyed this, and I didn't even play these types of nes games back in the day but this has gotten me interested in them. I was surprised at how atmospheric it was. It genuinely made me a little nervous at points. The room you enter were the music just cuts out; I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible because I was convinced something would happen if I stayed too long. I would like to play a larger, more fleshed out version of this game.
This was truly an amazing experience! The game reminded me a lot of Mortville Manor, which is among my favorite titles <3
The puzzles were logical and intuitive, which felt right. However, it sometimes felt a little bit too linear, but that’s mostly due to the lack of puzzles that overlap with other ones.
I would buy day one a longer version of this game!
I need Moarrr, and btw the 1.9 version is stable in my playthrough, a lot of unused items in inventory, would love to see how the game will developed soon
Investigated a possibly haunted house and got eaten by house flys, 10/10. Seriously tho, really love point and click adventures, and enjoyed this one a lot. The actions menu is a bit tedious, really like it when p&c's just let me click on thing and display my options, so you dont have to move your curser so much, but its not a big issue. I didnt get to complete the investigation before time ran out, but I plan on trying again in the future! Hope you enjoy the video, and look out for a completed investigation in the future!
I don't usually play games like this, but let me tell you after having such a fun time playing Occult Case Files I'm definitely going to look for more like it! I loved the style, I loved the story and I just loved the game haha! Really hope it gets a full version. Keep up the good work!
wow i really enjoyed this! the art looks so cool, the atmosphere is super spooky, and i really liked the timed mechanic of having to get home by 5, it made for a nice challenge. i spent my first playthrough investigating everything and ran out of time lol, but by the second one i got a "to be continued" ending, and im so hyped for the full thing!! keep up the great work dude, its gonna pay off <33

Will you make a full game? This was creepy and fun.
Thanks! We plan to, just need to wrap up a few other things before we start in on full development.

Not my style, but really cool concept! 7/10
This game is Super good 🥺
I LOVED this game! Please make a full version!!!!
Thank you! And you've got it ;]

This game is great.
You should consider Kickstarter or something. I'm sure if you did you'd get a lot more financial support for this.
Game is really good ~ will play again once the game is complete!
THIS GAME WAS SO GOOD I hope that a full release comes out soon im obsessed it also scared me
Nice game! But can it be played on a PLatstation5 controller like any controller?
Hey Nigel, thanks!
I honestly don't know! I dont have a PS5 myself, I've only tested with an Xbox360 controller... but I hope it does work for you if you do try it out.
-Scottie
It doesn't work with a Playstation controller, it only works with an Xbox controller.
Ah, shucks. Well thanks for trying! Ill see if I can get it up and going here soon.

Hey Deepnight, thanks for playing! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I feel you on the linearity of it, ill try and address that with the full version!
-Scottie
Nice game! I did die a gruesome death..
Wow, this reminds me so much of a NES game called Dajavu. The NEStalgia!

I don't play MANY games like this but I had such a great time. I did record my reaction if interested!!
Wow, I need more! Visuals, sounds, puzzles, and the scares were all so good!

Instantly one of my favorite games, it's just so cool! Looking forward to the full game! (didn't encounter any issues btw, so that's good :D)
Great game! It's appropriately spooky and I love the occult premise so far!
