I saw Poco in my dreams a few months ago. I can't believe he's real.

In all seriousness though, cute game! It was fun, and the music is great. Cute simple story and some neat easter eggs 💖

Heya, I guess I can say that I would recommend this game -- especially for its atmospheric build-up.
6.5/10. It's an alright game, but it's not without its flaws.

Graphics: 4/5
The graphics were great. The forest and the property were beautifully set up and I couldn't ask for more there. However, please add an option to disable motion blur in the settings. I wanted to turn it off because it disoriented me a ton (and it made my head spin hahah).

Gameplay - Finding the correct path: 3/5
You can *easily* get lost in the game. Sometimes, there are clear paths. Other times, there are spots where you think you could climb up easily, but it actually isn't. It wasn't that bad when it was light out --- but when the night-time segment came in at the forest it was just so disorienting. I was lost for about 15 minutes until I found myself on the correct path.
Possible Improvements for issue:
Adding clearer indications for actual pathways. Most games would provide a small light that players would go to. In the forest area, you could probably add a subtle amount of fireflies that float at areas players should go to. Inside the building, you could probably utilize a few other things like a few candles in an area - especially when the monster is chasing you. ALSO: It would be better if a player would know which door *can* and *can't* be open. I tried SO many doors because I didn't know if I could open them or not. Sound cues or dialogue boxes or even crosshair prompts would've been useful. 🙏🏻


No inventory system:
The game would make you go back and forth for an item that was in the same room. A possible fix for this (if you don't want to implement an inventory system) could be to have the item be in another room a player could get into. Maybe even in a closer room (or farther if you want to add new lore or stuff, too!)


Atmosphere: 5/5
The atmospheric build-up was GREAT btw!!! It scared me enough that me and my friends (they watched me play haha) couldn't decide to look to the corner or nah. It was really effective.

Sound design: 5/5
The sounds were also quite good - I felt very immersed.

Story: 3/5
1) The plot was great at the start. 2) kind of a whiplash with that bit before the very end. However, the transition from being a real estate agent to *that* was pretty jarring. It made me feel like this game could've been a bit longer to make room for a smoother transition to that ending. As a Filipino myself, though, I understand how it got to that. I believe it could really still get better. 💝

Bugs:
a bug I found (personally I loved it), you could climb up this one tree all the way to the top. It was pretty funny, but it made me appreciate the amount of detail you added into the forest.

Great job overall, needs a bit more work and polish in gameplay and story, but you did good man. Keep it up ⭐

Turtle shells are fun.

I hadn't beaten the game yet, but I'm letting y'all know this is a really good game. Went into this blind, and it's even more fun when you get to figure out and discover a lot of things on your own. There are a lot of spell combinations I haven't discovered yet (and probably some more wand designs I have yet to see), and there are a lot of combinations I've yet to try out. So much hidden lore to discover -- and gods to anger. Would recommend. 👍🏻

An absolutely underrated game that requires a lot of thinking and patience. I have no regrets buying this. Wish we get more enigmas to solve, they were fun! Plus being able to read the items through the computer was great, too.

The ending makes me sad though..

SPOILER:
is there really no way to NOT kill the 'angel' we met? She's so nice and I didn't mind playing "mirror chess" with her..

I wish this game was longer and I wish there were more games like this. It's fun, turns your gears, and overall fulfills your innate desire to organize things even when your bedroom hasn't been cleaned up in months.

11/10 would play again.

Glad I got this on the day it was free. I always take reviews with a grain of salt and I guess I'm just not that good of a player? Anyway....

The third stage of the 2nd level is *insane*. THIRD. STAGE. OF THE SECOND. LEVEL.

I like the concept of the game, I love the premise, and I really tried to like the mechanics, I *really* did. But the jumping mechanics when it comes to WALL-JUMPING are far too unforgiving and it's so wonky. Sometimes I thought I really did get the timing right with the wall-jumps, but then it just *doesn't* work in other times. I swear I felt like I broke my right arrow key at this point.

I wanted to get to know the game more. I liked that you could pet the doggo.
But that's it.

I hope you fix the controls-- specifically the wall-jumping mechanic of this game. Sometimes it works, and other times it just *refuses* to work. In fact, I can actually just spam my down-left arrow keys and actually climb a wall that way, while with the down-right arrow keys are kind of extra-rigged. Y'all knew what you were doing. But really, this just feels a bit unfair.

Might pick the game up again some other time, but for now, I need to save my keyboard from right-arrow-key abuse.

Used a voodoo doll while my friend was in the ghost room. Guaranteed dead friends by the end of every round. Has a 10/10 replayability, and we can't wait for the next update! Keep them coming!

A quick, short, and lovely little escape game. I miss point-and-click games so much! Had an air of mystery to it... Just the way I like them!
Guess I'll play the next one.

Unpacking DLCs when?

seriously though, I love it, but it felt a bit too short for me in the end. It DOES have its replayability, but I really, really do wish I can have more levels to .... Unpack-in. *badumtss*

Music is great, not mindblowing but it's calming, still gets 10/10 from me.
Graphics are 10/10, very satisfying. Love the pixel art <3 (though it took me 2 hours to realize which ones were socks and which ones were underwear.)

Gameplay 9/10 because there are some items, despite how small it is, I can't arrange it the way I want to. Wish I could stack underwear like bras and panties.

I guess I over-expecting its interactivity, but I would've appreciated it more if I could have the books stand up *anywhere* rather than just letting them stand when they're at wall. A better toggle system would be nice.

I wish there was an option to tear photos.
