I played through the beta and here are my thoughts.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I liked the atmosphere, the creepy pictures, the tv showing piano performance after doing the clock puzzle, that was a bit unnerving to go into the basement and see what happens. The switching between worlds mechanic was nice, I liked that sometimes you get to see more and sometimes it even opens new areas or teleports you into a cabin near the house. Definitelly interesting.
I know this is only beta but in my opinion it really needs more story, plot and some meaning behind the puzzles and the setting. Now it's a spooky house with some puzzles where you have to find numbers to put in the right places, that doesn't make sense, at least for me. Sure there's some story with the kids seeing some demon or devil, I think it's overused at this point. But nonetheless, it still can be creepy and scary.
But... The jumpscares. The song plays, turn around, boom and please continue your investigation, detective. It just doesn't make sense and it's cheap. It's kinda well made with the animations and sounds but it's cheap because it has nothing to do with anything. The monster playing piano in the basement was quite good though, it didn't do jumpscare the jumpscare but it gave the creepiness and progressed the game since you get an item that's left on the piano.
A few tiny details that might need to be worked on - the ladder in the basement doesn't have a collider, you can go through it, I also think there could be more sounds for interaction, footsteps and things like that. You may already know about these things.
Overall - nice atmosphere, cool mechanic switching between worlds, although cheap scares, really lacking story and plot (at least for my taste) and it kinda falls between many other "horror" games where you do key hunt puzzles and get scared for no reason from time to time.
But hey! Maybe you want to make this game the way it is, so feel free to not listen to me if that's the case, I'm just giving you my feedback. :)
Well to start this game was alot of fun i liked the horror feel and the creepy setting mixed with the puzzles. Its a really well made game can't wait for a full release. If you would like to see my playthrough here it is:
I really like the vision that you got in this game! This game was fun and I had a great time playing it, the puzzles weren't to hard and the scares were well paced out. Thanks for hitting my out about this game, hope you guys continue to make great games!
So far the frame rate and performance was pretty solid.
Lacks a lot of options such as to turn off the motion blurring. Maybe just me and my lighting set up but found some areas pretty hard to see and not enough lighting so I ended up using the "other world" mechanic a lot more.
It had some decent puzzles reminds me of some point and click adventures but the clock was the most frustrating one. There isnt much to do in the house besides those 3 puzzles so the house lacked some interactivity.
Interesting concept but needs some more work done, if it's still set in the 80's there needs to be more props that represent that era because that felt like an after thought and because of "nostalgia".
A couple of jump scares did get me because I am in fact a coward.
We will saw to implement brightness options, if necessary more props, we wanted to offer an experience, in the future we will fill the house. Thanks for share the game and for this feedback ^^
Played this as part of a 3 Random Horror games. It was a pretty okay Beta, though i felt kind of lacking. The scares were pretty generic and the atmosphere just felt like something we've seen a million times. Overall, not a back game though. I give a full in-depth review and feedback at the end of my video.
Awesome game really loved the story, but as its a beta i had expected some problem and honestly there aren't
many but i still have request to add configure setting for game quality as the game for me had some problem rendering in stuff and it kinda froze in between and also some minor tweaks that i may have pointed out in the game play hope you have enjoy the gameplay
Great game with a lot of potential. Some very cool horror tropes used in this game that work well. Audio queues for the heartbeats I feel can be tweaked so they are not so pronounced but other than that the game looks very promising. Just the right amount of demon sightings too!
Decent atmosphere and ghost vision mechanic, I know it's still a beta but there's definitely some polish that'll help out quite a bit. I wasn't able to find the code in the house, so I wasn't able to finish, but still not bad overall!
Thank you very much for playing our game, try to rotate the drawing in order to find clues so you can see the end. We keep working to impove the game and give the best posible experience.
Very nice. Much creepier atmosphere than the pre-alpha. I like how this version is starting to show more of the story.
I feel like there is more that could be done with the spirit mode. Maybe you see the spirits of the victims there? It could be an interesting way to get information.

This game looks awesome. I can't wait to see it complete! One question: what music did you use for the piano? It's haunting and lovely.
The music is from Lucas King, thanks for the comment :)

Nice gameplay! Thanks for sharing :D
La bétâ est GENIALE ! J'attend la suite avec impatience ! GOOD JOB ! TO BE CONTINUED !
Thank you very much for the support friend, we hope to keep in contact :)
Not a bad Demo! Would like to see this finished project. Nice little jump scares and like the idea of switching worlds!
We will continue working to offer better versions for everyone to enjoy
So I didn't manage to finish because a) I got stuck and b) the heartbeat sound was driving me crazy.
The scares in this are legit though. The shadows in the house and the hand on the paper really got me good.
Sorry we are already aware that some pc sounds very loud, we are working on it. Thanks for playing! ^^
I love the mechanics where you can see between worlds.
I keep calling the ghost Abe lincoln.
I wish there was more though.
Great game BTW!
We take note to improve! Thanks for playing!
I couldn't even finish the game tbh because i got too scared haha.
We are sorry that you have not finished the game, but we know that you will achieve it :)
This game was literally awesome! I struggled with the clock puzzle, but aside from that, this game was incredible!
He ended up solving the case like a good detective, thanks for playing!

I think it would be more immersive if the footsteps were heard.
I enjoyed playing this game.
We will work on it, thanks for the feedback!
Really cool game. I like two different worlds idea, but i think it could have been used a little more.
As it is a beta we are testing the support that the two worlds would have, thanks for playing and we are happy to see you again. :)
Played this before beta and I'm loving the changes! Great work! Cant wait to see what comes next!
We are happy to see you again here, thanks for sharing the game again on your channel ^^
Are there any NPCs in the game? Looks like a nice creepy game.
Currently we would not have, but we take note! Thanks for the support
Awesome game really loved the story, but as its a beta i had expected some problem and honestly there aren't

el juego esta en español o van a pensar en ponerlo?
Hola Jesus, en un principio no tenemos pensado traducir el juego a español, en función de la demanda nos adaptaremos.
Heiklion
esta bien, gracias por responder. suerte con el desarrollo del juego <3
Decent atmosphere and ghost vision mechanic, I know it's still a beta but there's definitely some polish that'll help out quite a bit. I wasn't able to find the code in the house, so I wasn't able to finish, but still not bad overall!
