The Nanny encapsulates the 80's nostalgic exploitation flicks of that era, with a foreboding ethereal sense throughout. Although I was a little disappointed with the lack of puzzles with The Nanny, I felt that I was taken on a journey of which was left with an ambiguous ending. I hope to see another episode in 2023!
Pros:
Excellent story driven gameplay
Ambiguous horror that leaves the player to decide what really happened
Great pixel artwork
Great soundtrack
Cons:
Lack of puzzles
Linear gameplay - would have liked to been able to explore more of the area
Think the ending was a little abrupt, but a trivial issue compared to the whole experience
Great work!
This is the 1st game of the Midnight Series I've played and I really liked it. The soundtrack was really nice to listen to. I just have a minor complaint, at the part of taking the keys to open the front door, for whatever reason when I put the cursor on top of the key holder, the game though I was clicking on the door. It took me 3 or 4 attempts to get the game to recognize that I was in fact clicking on the keys and not on the door. Other than that, very enjoyable :)
The game does seem to have stepped away from the puzzle side, and focuses more on interaction with characters. The dialogue was interesting, and at times very macabre, it made me laugh at how insensitive our character is.
I loved the visuals, especially the effect you did to the screen. It really reminds me of watching TV on a CRT TV when I was a child, and a great visual to end the game on. Really makes you wonder about the Nanny.
Loved the game, looking forward to the next game you make.
Hi, thanks for getting back so quickly!
I had a suspicion that would be the case! No problem, I'll play it in one sitting then!
I think I probably already played it almost to the end, but it's a cool game (yes totally enjoying it!) so I'll gladly replay it once I know I have enough time and won't get interrupted again.
I played this and episodes 1 and 2 in the series. They're really fantastic. It's evident a lot of care went into them. They're fun stories, and I love that I can complete each one in a few minutes. Seems like the developer has taken some inspiration from The Twilight Zone. Playing them feels like watching that show, but with more of a horror tilt.
Yeah, I can download via the bundle download page, just not within the itch.io app. Weird.
Clicking around a bit more I get "Cannot read property 'build' of undefined."
