i loved everything about this it was very nostalgic, going into it i didn't expect it to freak me out but the atmosphere, the eerie tone all of it was on point and perfect! only feed back i might give is if you select exam or take or any of them keep it selected after you have examined one option, it gets a little tedious haven't to scroll down to the bottom to do it every time, other than that 5 star game! gameplay above hope you enjoy guys!
oh dang ! i got the smell of junji ito X NES and i loved it ! :D i really hope you guys get all the support to make this project go through and hope you enjoy my vid as well and dont mind me ranting about anime and stuff :D
Really enjoyed my time with the demo. It was creepy while maintaining a balance of subtlety, which I always appreciate in horror. It's amazing how much tension you were able to create in the shoji room with just a bit of text and having the music fade out.
The sound effects and music were a great fit and I found myself poring over the art whenever possible. Take your time, but I would love to see more whenever it's ready.
Loved the whole game's visual style and story! The old-school style of the environment and how well it has been utilised to create this eerie atmosphere in every single room is great! Hoping to see how the story progresses in the future
This was so well done! The retro look, the music, the gameplay-- were all amazing and the game truly would have been at home on an old NES or an old PC. Even the story was intriguing. I had a lot of fun. I think you should keep going with this project!
Hey, I played Your game and found some bugs like the spirit at the door. Also, When in the attic earlier no tin the video the text on the letter lapsed off on the yes and no. Otherwise it is a swell game.
Hey there Castigliones, thanks for writing in. Could you explain what you mean by spirit at the door? As for the text on the letter in the attic, do you mean that the text goes outside of the dialogue box when prompted to read or not read? Thank you for your time.
Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel.
This was a really cool retro horror game about exploring haunted areas and solving cases by finding clues and evidence to assist in the main character's journey. The visual design of the game is really amazing and I really liked how beautiful the game was designed where details of the shrine and the exterior of the house really stood out for me. The game mechanics of the game were quite simple where it just took a little time before I got used to the game mechanics of the game. I am curious about the saving function of the game and whether there will be exorcism involved in the game in the future, to make the game more scary and interesting. I was definitely scared while playing the game and I prayed a lot in the game, hoping that it would do something to help the main character XD. The appearance of the ghost was really cool and the storyline of the case so far, has been really intriguing and interesting and I am pretty interested to find out what will happen next in the game. Also, the "yes" and "no" choices in the game are actually really clever as it adds pressure on the player whenever they are going to make a decision, forcing the player to rethink their decisions in fear that they might die if they make the wrong decision XD.
Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.
I was surprised this game came up on alpha beta gamer. Had I remembered you were the creator of the game the third shift, I wouldn't be surprised that this game would be successful as a demo at first.

Tiny thing, but the Japanese title is missing something.
"case file" in Katakana is ケースファイル, you're currently missing the ー
Hey LHRPG, thanks for letting us know! We'll be sure to fix that up for sure.

This really minds me of the old Lucasfilm game Secret of Monkey island. I look forward to seeing how this game progresses.

Nice game. What did you use to create it?
Thanks, it was made in Gamemaker Studio.
Just saw ManlyBadassHero's video on this, definitely hoping you make a full version.

Impressive game. Love the retro style and the plot looks very promising.

I thought the spirit disappeared after you use the candles.
I calling it. This game is going to be on Steam.

cool creepy retro.
I had a lot of fun with this demo, the music, pixel art and gameplay are all great. I would buy a full version.
No-commentary playthrough:
You definitely captured the creepy vibe of your inspirations. Hoping this demo does well enough to convince you to turn it into a full game!You gotta love no commentary sometimes (or many times). Talking kills the mood and the focus on the game sometimes.
Reminds me of Uninvited or Sweet Home. Or the Enigma Of Salazar House.
Uninvited was a big inspiration, and we love us some Enigma of Salazar House!
I was surprised this game came up on alpha beta gamer. Had I remembered you were the creator of the game the third shift, I wouldn't be surprised that this game would be successful as a demo at first.
It also reminds me of Waxworks And Capcom's Sweet Home.
This looks exquisite; really beautiful work
Thank you.
