Played your game in my series and might I say it was really GOOD for how short it was it was truly bone chilling and amazing in all, anyways good job it's really well done and cant wait to see what else you create!
this was a very nice experience. would love to see more of this, i loved the little figurine, the lighting, and the way it melted and started dripping stuff at the end was actually really well done and creepy. the gameplay was also really fun, i loved the fact that it doesn't hold your hand and lets you figure out on your own how to use the compass and the magnifying glass and what to do with the translation. really good stuff.
I do like the idea of the game and how you progress a lot. Though I wish there was more but I understand as it's a submission to Hawktober Horrors 2024, it was nice but I didn't really get too much out of it. Definitely make more like this in the future as it is interesting!
I love the premise, I see a lot of potential in this but as it stands now it is so short that I didn't really get anything out of it but I could see where it was going for sure. I feel like if the dev builds on this it could easily be a game ready for sale on itch.io or steam. Hopefully the dev takes this general idea to the next level, I would be happy to pay for a full game as I dearly love this type of folklore horror storytelling. I realize stop motion is incredibly time consuming so maybe the style will need to be change a bit to make a full game possible but as long as it keeps the general spirit with maybe stop motion for the action bits only it could be a really solid full game.
PS: I know this is short as it is for the Hawktober Horrors 2024 contest, but I am talking as far as future offerings go.
Cool idea. Something can be vaguely creepy about the mini aesthetic if pushed that way, and you did so effectively. When I first began development on miniature multiverse it was an indie experiment - myst like 360 degree game with charmingly realistic miniature look, and it was the only game to use the mini aesthetic that I knew of aside from 1996's the neverhood. Now since I began work on it the idea has just *exploded* with titles from Truberbrook to Armikrog to Lumino City to Harold Halibut. I still see mine as the only free look 360 node based one but realistically it is only a matter of time before someone beats me to release on that as well. Now you are going mini horror and that is another fantastic branch of the handcrafted game concept. I need to keep moving on game dev, the technical side is kicking me in the butt at times as my programming skill is barely adequate. Between that and the rotation between a bunch of tasks, none of my projects move forward to release as fast as I would like. But hopefully soon at least one or two of my games will be out there and fully playable. It isn't a small feat, making a game. you did it even if short so congrats.
Okay i adore this game! I opened the game and the MUSIC I tell you. Those warbly, dissonant chords set the tone so perfectly before i even press play. Also props for the use of lighting!! The way the figure is shaped makes the face invisible unless you're looking at it straight on, and the way the lighting lends into that is SUCH and incredible detail!!
I really dig how this game ramps up the tension by slowly uncovering bits of the story as you investigate the clay artifact. It keeps you on your toes and makes you want to dig deeper!
Live out your dreams of an archeologist in this short horror game or watch a sleep deprived guy do it for you! Honestly this was a lot of fun even though I can't decipher worth shit. Easy 8/10.
While all too brief, this was a wonderfully eerie experience. I think the handwriting could have been a little clearer on the note for the runes puzzle, as one letter is drawn in a way that it could be confused for a different letter of the alphabet in game. Had to write them out myself in order to fully figure out what the puzzle needed.
This honestly feels like it could be a teaser for a much larger game. More archeological based horror please. :D
The statue reminded me of the big oof meme. This was a very good game. It took me a little bit to figure out the puzzle but eventually I got it. I had fun playing this. Keep up the good work
This was such a cool game! You don't see too many archeology horror games. Loved the atmosphere the game set up. Made me feel like I was actually studying the artifact. It would be cool to see a continuation of the story! Good job!
I get that this is meant to be a short game but my god the ending was so anticlimactic. I would love to see this expanded on with more figures and puzzles because just one puzzle was very lackluster
One of the most uniquely fun games I have played in a while, absolutely loved it. Would love to see a longer version of this type of of something like this

I really liked the mechanics and sound design, i just wish it was longer (like everyone else). Very good and interesting!
Man I wish It was just a little longer. Good game!
i loved it sucks that its so short
Un poco corto, pero muy entretenido y atmosférico

Short and Moody, just as a horror game should be. The lovecraftian aspect is fun, and I wish more people would make more games in this style.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This game was so cool. It really reminded me of classic horror games! Your game is the 1st game in my video!

this was a gate game you should make more like this in them future
Gave this game a professional voice actor touch in my playthrough. Has great potential! keep it up devs!
That was truly an amazing experience! Great joob!
I really appreciate the way you progress in this game, especially with keywords in the books,but i honestly wish it had at least one more ending.

Thank you! I am glad people see potential in it! I really enjoyed making it, so if i can find a good way to build on this, i will do it.

WHY DID I DIG THIS UP ?"
Great Mini horror Game!

It is a cool game, it is very spooky and very informative. I played it in Romanian here
Excellent game.
A really cool concept, was fun trying to put the pieces of the clay sculpture mystery
I really dig how this game ramps up the tension by slowly uncovering bits of the story as you investigate the clay artifact. It keeps you on your toes and makes you want to dig deeper!

Short but so sweet! I enjoyed every minute of this! Great job!

lol guys please give me a nickname that sounds like the sky is falling on you (for Newgrounds)

Super neat game. Like the cliffhanger.

This was great! I love the execution and the substance over filler
great astmosphere
