Awesome game! Thank you for making this.

This game is insanely good, the mechanic is something I (personally) haven't encountered until now, and the tense atmosphere made it so much better. Plus.. the ending was just *chef's kiss*. Keep up the amazing work, hope to see more from you in the future! (3rd game)

Oho... this seems fairly interesting... everyone seems to be having fun... a peek into it should not hurt, would it?


Finished, and while short, it's a great take on something i have rarely seen, maybe it's the fact i did it in a quite hasty pace, but if there was ever to be a longer version of this piece of... entertainment, what a delight that it would be.

Cool horror game. 

Correctly listening to the incantations is a pretty cool game mechanic. Well made!

Great game! I might've become deaf cause I can't seem to hear the incantations right LOL

Loved it! The voice was chef's kiss! Other than me being a complete moron who gets lost easily this game was great!

Great game. Interesting way of banishing.

6/10 

I liked the idea, i want to be brutally honest. It felt like a demo, it lacks of a lot of "Must have" things horror games need, for example i didn't felt threatened  at all, the sounds (as said in the giant trophy you have on this page) are literally just voices (good quality) but nothing crazy for the ambience spookiness. The enemies are kinda non-existent, i would have preferred something more demoniac style :/. Also the "boss"... Damn, make it move, make our spells like projectiles, make it dodge... idk you could have made a lot of good things out of this idea and its a shame to see it this "raw".

I look forward to see you again in another game hoping that will be as original but way more "game".

The audio design was very good, which like hands down one of the most important parts of a game, so i appreciate the time put into it. solid game, if you really wanted to make this into a full game you could make it horrifying. solid work.

Cool mechanic!

PEAK GAMING 
Made me remember old games like exmortis(?) And a bit of the gameplay of Alan Wake, really loved the effects of the symbols near the ritual spots

Good game. Honestly dig the mechanic of having to listen and pay attention to the Latin words being said. Very short experience and for what it is there's not much to complain. Keeps me on edge, even scared me a few times.

7/10 I like it.

that first jump scared me so bad

Game was so damn scary.

Nice game! 

gutes spiel

Was a pleasure to play. Really nice job all around, the unique gimmick with the sound was my favorite part. :)

😊👍

it was reallllly good 

Really interesting horror game. Love the gameplay.

the fact that doesnt have auto save sucks alot... I managed to get into final boss and sadly theres to much noise and sounds... i barelly could hear what the tome was saying then... the boss just touched me and gg.... Back to beggning, unfortunaly i wont play Again cause it was too much stressing trying to hear what he's saying.... Just add some auto saving and this game will be much better.... 

beside that.. the game has nice graphics and smooth gameplay.... 

has potencial.. But not without auto-save... My opinion.

Thank you! The game is around 10 minutes so it doesn't make much sense for an autosave feature, but I agree that it's too punishing. For now, I'll slow down the boss, and ensure that sequence is more audible.

Fortunately, when thinking about solutions to your problem, I had a great idea that will fix the frustration and turn death into a meaningful experience - taking the player to hell, which they can escape. I may work on this as an update.

yo thats really good idea. Make things much fair and fun to play.

Thanks for hearing my opinion brother. Sucess
