Hellancholly
Released. A game I've been working on in the side.
If you see in the notes of Lorelei's Limbo, I mentioned that I was making a reimagining of it. This was the game I'm talking about, but this ended up being more than just a reimagining.
Hellancholly was almost done for a while now, maybe even for months, but... well let's just say some personal feelings got in the way. In the end, Hellancholly came out as a good and clean project. I initially wanted to make this paid, since Lorelei's Limbo was paid, and I had more in the back of my mind that I wanted to do with this game but... I didn't want to do those things anymore.
Initially, the tone of this game wasn't as heavy as it is, well, the tone isn't very heavy but I'd say it was much more light hearted. Now, this came out to be the darkest game I've made, by a long slide. While I don't think this game is made to be scary, I can say for sure that there is 1 moment in the game that could keep most people up at night, and admittedly, it even made me freak out a bit.
Even my sister who saw it in passing got really freaked out by it. It's not a jumpscare, but it's something.

Considering lorelei's limbo ending, it can't get much worse, right??? I hope
Anyways, so this is very nostalgic, the house being the same as lorelei's limbo is pretty cool, choblin, the basement goblin (Although, it did look different, didn't it?)
I need some help in round 8(1:30 to get there, also, I saved up to buy the one time shield and I think that was a great choice), the new tricks monster bugs the heck out of my mind. Sometimes he makes me become him and him become me and that's alright, but other times I feel like I have no control at all? I move and move but nothing happens. One time I saw it direct itself to the greeting lady and as soon as it touched her I died, but I wasn't moving as her? I really don't understand it. Help pls
I think the tips you place at the start of every round are pretty cool
In Round 8, the one that confuses you, "Botcher".
It attacks you in 2 ways.
Way 1: You are Barely Visible, and there is a fake you moving around to confuse you. It's chasing you.
Way 2: You are IT, and your body is chasing you as IT. There is a fake transparent you moving around.
The greeting lady "Rundlick" thing must've been you just being confused.
Also, the game's ending is not shown clearly to you but what I show, I think it implies somewhat clearly what happened.
I am blind, thank you, I would never have seen the fake transparent me if it weren't for this
No Problem. ALSO, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. DOWNLOAD THE NEW PATCH. 1.0.1. (Don't delete 1.0.0), I changed something.
HAHAHAHah, oh well, what is done is done.
Anyways, onto writing my review
Pretty cool yeah, I liked it a lot. What was the "Even my sister who saw it in passing got really freaked out by it. It's not a jumpscare, but it's something."? I at first thought it was the cursed THAT
which I searched on the internet after discovering the name in the game's folderbut since you removed that, it probably isn'tHere is a bug:
I will now play the non-cursed version just to know what about the version I just played was so cursed, also, didn't find it at all heavy? Maybe it's because it's implicit and I still haven't gone to the LMAO maze
I now have gone to it and I still have no idea
Nope, it's not the withdraw written incorrectly that was cursed
I beat the final level again but now with demon's feet (I had used the eye to be faster in the earlier playthrough for the last level) and holy boy that was quick, I think I got below 10 tries wow
And yeah, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now I know what was cursed lol. Why didn't you also take it out of the pictures folder though?
Yeah. The UtahoNoTatari reference, was the thing I removed from in-game and was what made version 1.0.0 "cursed". I removed it because, maybe some people may get mad at like "why did you put a picture of a body in the game?" or something, because, well we don't know if the picture is actually of something real or if it's just the dev of Utaho no Tatari laying down and took a picture of themself.
As for why I think this is my darkest game, well, the notes found in the maze does piece together your life leading up to what your "unpardonable sin" is. The subject matter OF the truth, is dark. It's not as grim or as explicit as Lorelei's Limbo, but the subject matter is darker.
