Intensive (S)care Unit

I didn't find the happiest ending in my playthrough, but I LOVE THIS

some spoilers**

I really enjoyed this game and the characters! at first I thought, "Oh they're all dead and this is like all fake" but nope i was wrong lmao and the fact that these are based on true stories adds a nice touch! As a side note, I'm still missing the extras on the middle bottom, if anyone knows how to get them, please tell me.

edit: i looked through the comment and i got it! also while i was shuffling through the comments i kept the game open while the bells were ringing till i noticed a sound change only to find the dead Satria scolding my ass i felt so bad after 😭😭 

The game is really cool! I had a lot of fun playing it! The visuals are really great, and the music and sound are well-combined too. Well done!

OOOOOOH this was such a cool vn!!! The art totallyyyy gave me Paranormasight vibes, but isn't a direct copy of it, sprites and CGs and the VISUAL EFFECTS ESPECIALLY WOAHHHH it all look SO good, very polished!! Getting all that art done in a month is quite the feat, set a great atmosphere~

I loved the touch of clicking the ER buttons (or being too late if you take too long to), experiencing any of the story branches in whatever order you see fit.

Very compelling narrative the whole way through, and I loved the music too with its creepier shifts as time goes on. The UI was great too, it fit really well with the unsettling hospital theme of everything. I couldn't figure out how to get the bottom middle 'extras' CG ending, but every other playthrough had its own touch of creepiness and a satisfying epilogue segment~

I'd love to see what you make of this in the future if you ever expand on the story / this universe!!! :))

The story and how it plays in the game with the choices is something I honestly haven't seen in other indie VNs, there are a BUNCH of choices to make and you can take them at different moments in the game, this is very fun however it is also a bit convoluted and the lack of manual saves or a skip button (Maybe there is one I just couldn't find it...) makes the task of replaying parts a bit annoying.

In fact that is what made me stop after getting 2 endings, which I have to mention where REALLY good and satisfactory, you know what else was really good and satisfactory? all this Indonesian folklore I had no idea existed but I absolutely adore, great job integrating it on the story, I love when games teach me from different cultures while they spook the hell out of me!

Keep up the good work!

A very fun game! I love how the choices are set up-- I haven't seen that in a game before, and I think it pretty innovative! The music is great, the visuals are beautiful and eerie, and I love the UI. Thank you for telling me to check it out!

played this on my channel. at first it thought it was cool but as it went on i was heavily invested into the story as u could probably tell. especially the story with the little girl.  overall i wasnt able to get everything but i did have a pretty good time with this.

OMG Azure you captured the horror spirit so, so well with this! This was so well done, amazing art and GUI overall, with eerie soundtrack that became broken(?) and that made me so alert haha. That pesindhen was so, so creepy hahah... Also I was so heartbroken with Satria... Waaah 😭 If you're going to expand this with more creepy lores, I'd be very excited!

This was fantastic! First of all congrats on absolutely nailing the feeling of unsettling and exhaustion that is nightshift on a ward! Everyone who's ever been there has heard/experienced stories like this and you brought them to life wonderfully! The art, the music, the writing were all on point and the choose a room gameplay was awesome. Amazing job all round!

!! BEWARE, MULTIPLE JUMPSCARES !!

Ahem.  With that out of the way...

A surprisingly heartfelt story and cast of characters, considering how creepy it comes across at first!

Really well done!

I'd never been exposed to those aspects of Indonesian folklore, so thank you for sharing that.

Took me a while to get the final ending; had a feeling I knew what I needed to do, but figuring out the correct order was a struggle. ^^;  Worth the effort though! 🕯

A nice mix of morbid tragedy and (largely) positive outcomes in the epilogues, especially the special ending.  The state of healthcare workers is definitely still precarious, so thank you for shining another light on the topic, and also for the hopeful ending re: the possibility for change in the industry.

I do wish the "empty" rooms played more of a role in the game.  From what I could tell, they could be mostly or even entirely ignored while trying to get the different endings and epilogues.

Also, good use of foreshadowing!  I did notice early on how Lia and the nurse's sprites moved back and forth, meanwhile Satriya's were stationary the whole time - just didn't know what that meant (if anything) until Mrs. Mulyono's revelation.  Clever!

Sheeeesh. What made this game so scary was the chilling reality that is the ICU. Understaffed, overworked, and dealing with all sorts of frustrations and complaints. Mr. X was a great example of something that could easily be a real situation that someone working in an ICU has to deal with. I ended up with the Normal ending, and the Satria part was a cool twist that I wasn't able to predict. Overall, this was a thrilling exploration of the psychological effects of working in such a high-pressure environment. Also - poor Mrs. Selvi ughhh.

Outside of the story, I loved the art style and the music was perfect. This was beautifully done.

just wow. i dont even know where to start 

[spoilers ahead!]

i didn't even get all the endings yet but this game has such a beautiful and emotional story. never did i think, starting this game, that i would get so invested in all these characters - the way you wrote all of them, with their individual ambitions and flaws and backstories, made them all feel so real. satria and angela's stories were the highlights of this game for me - they're just so well written. genuinely this game took me through such an emotional rollercoaster, from fear to happiness to sadness all at once. i was DESPERATELY REPLAYING to get to the good ending for angela 

i rly want to talk more about satria. right from the beginning he was such a sympathetic character - but the ending truly made him one of the most memorable characters in this game. when i got to the end my jaw DROPPED  

and can i just say i love the mechanic of having us choose which room to go to? i didn't think we'd get so much freedom for this game LOL but wow. rly stressed me out 

so grateful to have come across this game, it really was a lovely experience. thank you so so so so much for sharing, and i'll look forward to your next projects

also love the cultural elements in the story haha southeast asia represent!!! 

There are so many wonderful things I can say about this project. For a horror title, which is very effective at the kind of horror it wants to convey, it's strangely comforting in the best kind of way. There's something intrinsically horrific about real life and death is a part of it. This devastation from loss doesn't take away from its beauty though and that comes through earnestly in the VN. The setting and characters are written in a very grounded way despite the paranormal elements and the subject matter. It's one I've been telling you was always a strength of your work! How you write characters. :))

Thanks for sharing more of your work and perspective with us. Looking forward to the next one!

Finished a run blind and had to come back and see everything I could! There's way more than I expected here, I think I got 5 endings in total? But this was a really engaging journey!

The horror was really engaging, I thought! Really felt the Paranormasight vibes in the art, but the setup w/ the horror also kinda gave me Death Mark-series vibes? Probably more so, we're completely unprepared to be in a scenario haunted like this and it shows really well!

Very compelling, I enjoyed this a ton!

I need a guide, please?

I am liking the game a lot

The art in this one is gorgeous and the atmosphere is very spooky. It was fun trying to unlock all of the scenes too!
It's impressive you were able to make so many art assets which are all so high quality in such a short period of time, this is a really ambitious project!
