The nostalgia is what really did it for me with this one. It made me remember how much of a classic Mario 64 was. If Peach would have transformed and got more sinister the more you progressed, it would have been insane! Awesome job taking a fantastic game and flipping it into a solid piece of work! 👍
Just uploaded this to my channel. This is very addicting and fun to play. It defiantly gets difficult but not in a bad way. Really enjoyed it. Hope to see a full release! Great job creator!
was a very cool and interesting game i can't wait for the full version to be out can't wait to be able to see what you do with it keep up the good work!!
Not a bad game, I found Medium quite difficult, even on easy mode! ...but with that being said, I do have a few problems with the game.
My first one is with the beginning. You get the key, go to Peach's room, open it up, and you're immediately trapped. Peach is heading to you, so you have to hide, except when you do you and she leaves, you can't leave; if you try to leave, she hears your door, and immediately goes back to get you. I ended up giving up on hiding, and instead just lured her in to run away. Perhaps adding another exit or making her spawn somewhere around the map as soon as she leaves, will make this beginning part a lot easier to do.
Secondly, the chests + Movement. My main problem with the chests is that they're way too difficult to use. The giant piece of metal covers a lot of your screen, about 20%, and in some angles, this can make it stupidly difficult to see if Peach will be there or not. As for Mario's movements, his speed is just perfect enough to almost always outrun and outlast Peach. Spamming with shift and moving with WASD is a great way to travel around and escape Peach, which I don't think is a great solution. To fix the problems, maybe removing the giant metal piece and putting some of the chests in better locations (I'm sorry but the snowman room's chest was a terrible spot to put it) can help with making chests more useful, and as for Mario's speed, maybe make Peach slightly faster, and give Mario some more movement options like jumping. This can even help with the beginning, by allowing the player to jump over railings, or can lead to some interesting Platforming parts for the game!
Lastly, Peach needs one last thing to make her better; she NEEDS some sort of audio mechanic. It's almost impossible to tell where she is on the map at any given moment. Just have her do some crying or make some sort of sound that gets louder when she's close by, so that I, and maybe a few other players, won't be as easily killed by us not being able to tell where she is.
As for one quick recommendation too, what if every single collectible gave a new enemy to deal with? The penguin can detect you and will honk loudly when you're close, alerting peach, but is slow and outpaced by even walking Mario, Thwomps can remain above chests at random points and will kill Mario if he goes into one they're above, Boos will chase the player and teleport them to a random place if they're caught, etc. More enemy variety can make the core gameplay a lot more interesting to play!
Overall, the game isn't bad, I even had a bit of fun figuring out how to deal with Peach! These are just a few reccomendations to make the game even better! Good luck with your game!
Luigi super LOVED this game! Can't wait for the hard/easier mode to come out and what else you have in store! .3. Continue making awesome scary content! <3
very interesting game, I am interested in a full version. I would suggest maybe each difficulty be which floors are unlocked. For example: Easy would be the first floor, normal would be first floor and basement, hard is making it to the third floor. Not sure if that's what you were aiming for, but that's my thought.
This game is very good and interesting. A lot of chasing, jumpscares and so much more... If you like the "Super Mario" games and horror stuff ⇨ You will love this game!
Love the stealth elements in this game, chests are fairly spread out and provide a thrill as you try and run towards the closest one undetected. The only thing missing was an ending but it is a demo, after all, looking forward to the full release!
Surprisingly intense! While it's pretty much a light stealth game at its core, there's something about the knowledge that, at any given moment, I could be snatched up with barely any time to hide. This was fun!
im just gonna be onest I have diabetes, of 5 months of living if not the doctor actually can fix me or not. Subscribe and we get 10k subs before im gone
I think this game looks Great! It's abstract enough, but also not too far from the source material to be cheesy ... well at least more cheesy than Mario should indeed be! haha My thumbs are both up !
pretty neat idea. I like the concept, but it wasn't really scary...
Maybe make the game a lot darker and have the lantern as the main lightsource.
Also, the princess seemed to move quite randomly about the castle, which isn't a problem in it of itself, but losing track of her was more annoying rather than terrifying. Maybe adjust her behavior a bit, let her react to you collecting figurines and heading for your position, and maybe give her a bit more of a cue, more than just the alert sound when she's close, but give the player a way to notice if she's in the area or far away. Maybe that's what the wind sound is for but it played continuously for me.
I also ran into some stuttering, it seems, whenever the princess was close. It made it harder to escape from her or hide in a treasure chest, but not in a good way ;-P
As I said, though, neat idea and I'm going to keep an eye on this to see where this is going!

Really not what I expected. At first I thought it was going to look corny and feel weird, but the game is actually FUN! and yes scary!

Here is my video if you want to watch.
the jumpscares are so loud and this is my first time screaming vert loudly at a game
funny meme/horror game still some bugs can be little scary, but perfect for entertainment when bored
Love this game!

I would really appreciate it if you would check this video out and let me know what I could do to improve my videos in the future!!!
Luigi super LOVED this game! Can't wait for the hard/easier mode to come out and what else you have in store! .3. Continue making awesome scary content! <3
Things have surely changed at the castle... Also I can't wait for the full game.
very interesting game, I am interested in a full version. I would suggest maybe each difficulty be which floors are unlocked. For example: Easy would be the first floor, normal would be first floor and basement, hard is making it to the third floor. Not sure if that's what you were aiming for, but that's my thought.
You'll be able to explore the whole castle in every difficulty. The only thing that chenges is the ai "intelligence"
cool.
WHEN DID SUPER MARIO BECOME THIS SCARY?
