I like this game, but I have a problem. I cant scan the qr code. I dont know is it a bug. maybe you can try to make the qr code fully scanable when its solved.
Hello! I just finished the game and I loved it! The puzzles are interesting. A funny moment happened because of my poor English vocabulary (Apologies in advance for this comment, my English is very bad.)I discarded all my bullets, hahaha. Amazing job
This was really nice! :) I like the soft humor of the game, placing a survival horror into a "wip" escape game has a nice irony to it. But the game also achieve to keep a nice horror atmosphere at the same time. It's a great balance!
The puzzle are enjoyable too! Never too difficult, but with enough challenge to make them satisfying to solve. I only had one issue with the UX: I didn't get that there was a puzzle behind the card door. Several times I just closed the message, assuming I had something to find in the manor. It's only by accident that I eventually clicked on it and discovered that I could place cards. And another small detail: the heat beat sound heard when you are low on health and closing the menu is really loud. At some point I was hearing it constantly, and it became mostly obnoxious.
I still had a great time playing it! Congrats for making such a solid short game!
This game is amazing. I don't usually play games on itch.io but this one piqued my interest. I love survival horror games and this game made me feel like I was playing an old resident evil type game.
I love the art style, the music in the save room, everything.
The shapeshifting enemies were terrifying. They made every prop in every room feel scary. And the fact that props that didn't turn into enemies turn into enemies as you progress is a really great touch.
I also loved that as you get closer to the saferoom the music gets louder which is great attention to detail.
There was a bug that I picked up on during the game:
Upon completing the game and gaining my rank when the company splash screen was finished, the menu didn't load (all I could see was black).
Other critiques I had are:
Outside the mansion you can go forever on the edges of the screen, I don't know if that was intentional but you can go seemingly infinitely in one direction and it took a while for me to accept that there were no secrets off the sides of the screen.
The mechanic of having to go into your inventory to reload eventually became a bit of a pain and didn't really add to the horror much. Especially since when you're going through menus the whole game pauses so it doesn't feel tense when you have to reload.
In the puzzles where you have to input solutions, specifically the scarecrow and card one, I completely missed the fact that you have to click again to see the input screen. I just ended up clicking the X in the top left corner which made me never see the input screen. I'd recommend the X appearing after you click for the input screen. But then again I am an idiot
I'd also recommend putting the act that you can shift in place of right mouse in the "Instructions" in game as well because as a trackpad user, it would've helped a lot throughout the game.
I feel like the map should show rooms that haven't been fully looted yet (like how in Resident Evil 1 rooms which still have items in them are shown in red), because I ended up spending a long time combing through every single room for interactable items.
I'd also like if you could skip the opening cutscene if you can't already.
I know that this game was made in 2 weeks for a game jam and it's really impressive what you've done in that space of time. I can't wait to see what you develop this game into, I will definitely be following its progress :D
Those spider things make my skin crawl, the relief I felt when I got to the end was unbelievable, especially after I used up all my bullets and was just getting chased by all of em'.
This game was amazing, happy to say this is also the first survival horror game I've ever played all the way to the end. I love the art direction, it's amazing how creepy those things were, looking forward to the update!!
don't know how to use the five cards. have them in the inventory. i walk to the door. it says i need five cards. the cards are no longer in the inventory. i have saved before opening the door, so i reloaded and tried again. same result.
I've run into a few bugs. After inspecting the slide puzzle, the text remained at the bottom of the screen until I left the room. Currently having an inventory issue. After getting the last card and the shotgun, inventory items are vanishing when used. Taking items out of the item box destroyed my picture cards and my handgun making it impossible to progress. Attempting to reload also destroyed my ammo.
Eventually got past this. The error occured multiple times after reloading. I think it has to do with the picture cards. I had 4 of them in the item box when I picked up the 5th.
After reloading again I took everything out of the box and continued as normal. No longer had the inventory issue.
Some bugs! There is an issue regarding double clicking. You click once and it clicks twice making it extremely hard to do anything. The scarecrows puzzle piece was given to me, I placed it in the puzzle and it took the piece, Didn't count it and i can't progress.
This was incredibly fun! Not scary but very original Resident Evil type! I look forward to more! I had no issues with any of the mechanics that I noticed. Heart beat when you're low can be a little loud - some audio settings could be nice!
it is not working on chrome, I've tried refreshing the page and even restarting my computer but none of that seems to work. It just becomes a black screen with the sounds in the background as soon as I click to run the game.
This was an excellent game! The scarecrow riddle took me some time, but I figured it out much faster than the picture slide puzzle. I'm terrible at riddles, and I thought the scarecrow riddle would've taken me longer to crack than the slide puzzle, but I'm surprised I figured it out faster, if at all!
I had a couple of bugs: I couldn't reload the shotgun. My inventory showed me that the shotgun was loaded with four shells when I didn't have any from the game screen. Also, the text description of the slide puzzle remains on the screen, and any text you read next (i.e., from accessing your inventory) becomes superimposed over it, creating a jumbled mess of text.
I liked the game enough to create an account and write a comment :D Cool puzzles and the vibe of the first part of Resident Evil.I'd gladly play the full version.
One suggestion - reloading weapons from the menu is inconvenient.It would be useful to assign it to a keyboard button.
It was delightful, thank you. I ran it on zen, the firefox fork. For anyone who gets stuck at the end with all the cards, refreshing the page after saving your progress at the gramophone will fix.
Incredible game! My favorite of the series so far. I managed to scrape by with one life but it was close. Great job on the balance. My only quibble is having to continually click to move rather than just holding down the button. Fantastic job!
The controls is great and new to me, the horror factor is there and keeps the player on edge whether to run or fight. The notes design could be better instead of the whole screen and sliding. The artstyle and map design are great and easy to read. Music and monster design is fine. The puzzles are quite fair to solve. The ending scene could be a short cutscene. Overall great game, good if the dev can develop it to a full game with chapters.

good good
This looks like an amazing game! I'm definitely going to check it out when it releases on Steam.
You look like the type of person who'd enjoy this jam: WOW JAM
They have a very interesting platform and are even offering prizes xD

It wont let me start the game :(
Fun lil demo. Didn't get the ending. The qr code didn't work for me at all, had to look up the equation
I love this game!! So...will you finish this game?
Yes, absolutely! I’m busy with another project right now, but in about 10 days or so, I will be back to Midnight Mansion.
Nice little game
don't know how to use the five cards. have them in the inventory. i walk to the door. it says i need five cards. the cards are no longer in the inventory. i have saved before opening the door, so i reloaded and tried again. same result.
This is very cool, bugs aside its a must play. Can't wait to see more of this!
My five cards disappeared and now I cant' open the door
how i can download to play offline ?
the date being accurate from today threw me off i haven't even played yet xD
wait i scrolled through comments because i thought i was playing it in the perfect date lolll
I’ve removed the item box for now. It caused way too much pain and I don’t have much time right now to fix it.
In the next major update, though, I will tackle this issue directly.
I've run into a few bugs.
After inspecting the slide puzzle, the text remained at the bottom of the screen until I left the room.
Currently having an inventory issue. After getting the last card and the shotgun, inventory items are vanishing when used. Taking items out of the item box destroyed my picture cards and my handgun making it impossible to progress. Attempting to reload also destroyed my ammo.

After reloading again I took everything out of the box and continued as normal. No longer had the inventory issue.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll take a look when I have time.
Hello! Are you interested for free Turkish translation?
figured out how to reload the shot gun! you have to unequip it and hit reload and it will work I think
Some bugs! There is an issue regarding double clicking. You click once and it clicks twice making it extremely hard to do anything. The scarecrows puzzle piece was given to me, I placed it in the puzzle and it took the piece, Didn't count it and i can't progress.
Will take a look!
This was incredibly fun! Not scary but very original Resident Evil type! I look forward to more! I had no issues with any of the mechanics that I noticed. Heart beat when you're low can be a little loud - some audio settings could be nice!
I wanted to make the heartbeat stop after five seconds or so but forgot. Thanks for reminding me!
it is not working on chrome, I've tried refreshing the page and even restarting my computer but none of that seems to work. It just becomes a black screen with the sounds in the background as soon as I click to run the game.
Great game, we aspire to create something this good.
This was an excellent game! The scarecrow riddle took me some time, but I figured it out much faster than the picture slide puzzle.

Please create the full version!
Thanks for the feedback! I’m working on the next big update and will hopefully fix all the bugs (without adding new ones :D)
Great game. Keep making things like this, they're really cool :D
Thanks for playing!
Great game! But i meet a few bugs druing this game: lost my pistol and lost picture cards
I liked the game enough to create an account and write a comment :D Cool puzzles and the vibe of the first part of Resident Evil. I'd gladly play the full version.
One suggestion - reloading weapons from the menu is inconvenient. It would be useful to assign it to a keyboard button.
Anyway, good job
Manual reloading is a leftover from when the game was mouse-only. I might change it in the next major content update.
great!
It was delightful, thank you. I ran it on zen, the firefox fork. For anyone who gets stuck at the end with all the cards, refreshing the page after saving your progress at the gramophone will fix.
Sorry could you also release an application version of the game
It was very fun but once I put the cards on the item box I could not take them out without them dissapearing. Anyways, nice game :)
i have 5 cards but it wont open. Am i doing something wrong?
A thousand apologies, that was a bug. Should be fixed now.
AH okk!!! tysm!!
the game is awesome!
I didn't finish it because I was lazy but I can say it's a great game 🦊
i am using chrome browser and it dosnt show after the intro ends . i only hear rain and nothing else !
Strange. I just checked it on different devices, and everything is working correctly.
Try to do a hard refresh of the page (CTRL+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R if you’re a Mac user).
i use windows it worked on EDG but not on chrome
also the player clips into the edg of the screen
overall its a great game ! keep up with it !
Thanks! I’m working on a bigger update at the moment, and hopefully the bugs will be fixed.
love the game had a little bug where i couldn't acces my handgun if i grabbed something from the box in the saferoom but otherwise great game
