Very good starting. I suggest you to desaturate a bit the general colours, expecially in hospital area, that could give more horror vibes.
(This is a demo and by any means represents the final game).GAME SUPPORTS ENGLISH AND SPANISH LANGUAGE.Soon on PlayStore.
DARK REMINISCENSE is a single player horror game set in between 2005 and 2010, made in RPG Maker MZ. It's a project I've been working on in my free time for a few years. I'm no game developer, and have no experience at all, so this is my first try to make something serious as a fan of the horror genre.Ā
The scenarios and important moments of the game are mostly inspired on nightmares of my own and common fears people have when they are young.Ā
My idea is that the game lasts at leastĀ 5 hours if you explore and interact with the setting, trying to discover every detail of the story and/or secrets that are out there.
THE STORY
This is the story of a 12 year old Kid (his name remains unknown) who returns home and finds out by reading a note that both of his parents went out without telling him in advance. He goes to sleep hoping to see them again once he wakes up... What the poor boy doesn't know is that he's about to experience a living nightmare. In this story, his worst fears will become true, and he will wish he was never born.
THE GAMEPLAY
The fullĀ game will containĀ puzzles, survival horror elements, chasing enemies, hiding spots, jumpscares, cutscenes and other things you would expect for a game that's designed to make you feel intrigued, insecure, uncomfortable, and (maybe for the less brave) scared.
BUGS / FEEDBACK
As I said, first time doing this. I think I covered all the game-breaking bugs and the game is totally playable from start to finish. BUT, if you find a crazy bug, anything you didn't like, ruined your experience with the game or just something you think I could add to make the game better please let me know with a review. I appreciate all kind of support and constructive criticism. I hope you enjoy the game!

Version 0.2.1
-Fixed some sounds

This is the last update for the demo, meaning it's finished and I'll stop updating it until I have developed more of the game.
Version 0.2.0
-Changed and added some new sounds
-Changed the illumination of some rooms and added some fog and objects with lighting
-Now the mechanics and controls are directly explained at the start, no items or anything missable
-New Game Over screen
I released the mobile version! Download the file through Game Jolt in your phone and then you just need to install the .apk and you're ready to go. Your phone might ask you to allow installations from unofficial sources (since it's not on Playstore).
Version 0.1.2
Fixed some animations and changed some sounds.
I also added the web browser version for those who can't/don' want to play the downloadable version! 
Be mindful that this demo's objective is to introduce the story and gameplay, not to scare. Yes it is a horror game, but in that aspect the demo is just a warm up. The point of this is to see if the story and gameplay work, not to see if it's scary (yet)
