Ghost Hunt 64x
A small-scale game made for LOWREZJAM2022 in about 2 days, with a few extra for miscellaneous UI work and porting to web. Search a derelict mansion foyer for ghosts, shine your flashlight on them to paralyze them, and deftly eliminate them with your knife! But watch out for The Sleeper...
This game features what one might consider "jumpscares", so if you take issue with that be warned (they aren't all that scary though). Special thanks to Saturnyoshi for extensive knowledge on Gamemaker, Poyo for the original design of The Sleeper, and jsfxr for being the tool I used for all the sound design.
CONTROLS:
LMB: FLASHLIGHT
RMB: KNIFE

I'm sorry, I don't understand how to play the game. I don't understand the pictures in the tutorial. Could you, please, reply me by a description of the gameplay using words?
Your mouse has a small area of visibility around it at all times. Left clicking uses your flashlight. Right clicking uses your knife.
Ghosts can be stunned with the flashlight, which leaves them vulnerable to the knife. When hit with the knife in this state, they die. If hit with the knife while not stunned, they dodge.
Ghosts left alone long enough will start to laugh. If left laughing, they will kill you. This can be interrupted with the flashlight or knife.
The sleeper is a special ghost that looks like the other ghosts, except with closed eyes. When hit with the knife or stunned with the flashlight, it begins to bend itself out of shape. It must be sliced with the knife to prevent its transformation, once per stage of transformation. If it fully transforms, you die. If you slice it when its in its least bent shape, it dies.
I'm not the best at visual tutorials and the resolution was too small for me to consider words, so I knew there might be some issues with this. I probably should have split it into more pages...
Congratulations on making this game !
I've played your game during a live that you can watch here :
I hope the feedback and live reactions will be useful to you. Keep it up !

Beautiful chibis
For something made in two days, an excellent product - simple, fairly easy to understand (if you read the tutorial), and fun! Great work!
