Victorian Fear - (Download)

I loved the atmosphere and the music. The saving game mechanics remind me of Silent Hill and the pixel art is cool. The scary/gory parts are really well-done. However, the plot could be improved, sometimes the characters don't make much sense, like the lady giving you the key and telling you to check the church (like why would the protagonist do what she says? You've just heard a horrible scream, yeah let's go out alone and check that creepy church). Or when you are allowed to stay with the man but then go somewhere else, and when trying to go back to him, you don't go in because he may be sleeping?? (Our protagonist didn't seem to mind entering people's houses uninvited before!) But I guess the game is not so serious and these things are also in the style of retro games.

There are a couple of bugs, like the circle around the heart staying on the screen after closing the inventory.  Also, when talking to the kids the second time, I could only ask one question, and could not access the other dialogue option later.

I enjoyed the game, I hope to see how the story continues.
