This game is amazing. You should think about porting to some of the newer handhelds. I've been playing a ton of old LCD games on the Analogue Pocket and this would fit amazingly well and show people LCD games are more than people remember them being. You can tell a lot of thought and love for those old games went into this project. Thanks for such an amazing experience. I'm looking forward to having my daughter play this. She laughs at a lot of the old games I pay but she'd love this.
This game is so neat! Played it a second time to rescue Dot, then a couple more to see all the clue possibilities, now I'm trying to optimize my searches and moves down to a minimum. If I had the skills I'd try to build a physical version lol
This was actually pretty cool. I wonder if it would have been possible to make something like this back in the day. I managed to save all the kids, but not the turtle.
Found a tiny error. Needed to find two candleholders for a secret switch, but when I found them, one wasn't showing because it was "blocked" by a cabinet. It was a bit confusing.
This is really quite brilliant. I love the "Monsta" concept and I find the whole experience quite relaxing to play. The Randomly generated level is slick. Good work.
Very cool, but I managed to find everyone and dot without running into any locks or codes. Are they just a procedural element that happened to be missing in my run or is there another layer of secrets I missed?
Very impressive how dedicated you were to the LCD limitations. This feels like an LCD version of Night Manor from UFO 50 and I love that. Thanks for the fun time!
If there is a joke, then I guess I missed it too, but I don't think it is one. Just a small game inspired by LCD games from back in the 90's that had extreme hardware limitations. Since all of the graphics have to be baked into the screen itself, with nothing overlapping, it's a pretty tough challenge to make a game, especially one with any level of complexity. The fact that he managed a randomized game with puzzles and even different levels of completion is very impressive. If you aren't familiar with those kinds of games though, search Youtube for "Tiger Electronics" and you'll find a bunch of videos showing what they were like.
Couple nights ago I couldn't sleep so I played one of my favorite songs from Sergei Prokofie - Romeo and Juliet. As I was drifting away in sleep I couldn't help but think "Oh, this sounds like the OST of Return of The Obra Dinn", and just today I decided to revisit the OST of that game just to find this... WTF LUCAS POPE! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!
This was such an awesome and creative game! The LCD handheld style was genius. I had to save that turtle as you can see in my gameplay:
Seriously, everything from the booklet images to the design of the handheld interface just shows how much love was poured into this game Lucas Pope! Thank you for the amount of time you put in to bring us this experience!

This is so cool! I love every bit of it!
Oh, Muhammad. I just noticed the shackles on the wall in the lab. (I wonder if they appear in the bedroom... Edit: yep, they do. Eep!)
I love this!!!!!!
Your game is beautiful and original.
Love this.
How do I find the turtle?
I'm trying to figure that out, too. But I'm going to keep playing until I figure it out with no spoilers. Part of the fun!
I got it! I'm not going to give it away, but I'll give you a hint: friends work together in odd ways. ;)
I wrote about 700 words on this here:

TLDR, this is magical, really captures the feel of those old devices whilst being a much better game than most if not all of them. A true delight.
Great review, thank you!
Ah it was finally added to the database. I'll replay it and finally review it. Thanks for heads up.
Id love a physical one…
Super fun, super stylish :)
OH I didn’t know I need to rescue the turtle.. dang it :D it was fun tho
i just finished playing it, and i LOVED it! it reminds me so much of a gameboy or something of the sorts! :D
Amazing and fun game. The replayability using the limited resources is quite a feat!
Thank you!
No DL?
The Idea of there being a room simply named "Void" where the monster can't enter and it's completely silent truly amazes me.
Every good haunted building needs a void.
good game, when Moida Mansion 2
Very fun game, extremely great design and sound. Loved it
Thanks! <3
I rescued 3 people😭
Hint: friends often help each other in odd ways. ;)

That should be ok. Hidden passages/latches can act like keys/codes, which are all mostly interchangeable in the layout generator.
Each attempt is different. Sometimes you get codes and/or secret stairways and sometimes you don't.

It's just me, or I don't get the joke.

This was an incredible piece of work! It is so clean and true to form, but still maintaining the fun and focus.
If only we had games of this quality on these kinds of devices back then!
Is there any way to download this game and therefore save it for posterity?
