Raymond VS The Party Snatchers
Reports from all over the globe warn about weird-acting strangers bursting into homes and snatching people away. But that won't stop David from having a party, cuz he doesn't care about the news!
Can his loyal dog, Raymond, break through the illusions brought by the strange party guests coming in? Or will his human become the latest test subject for the visitors from outer space?
Raymond VS The Party Snatchers was done for the Themed Horror Game Jam #18.
---How to play--
You play as Raymond, the bestest dog there is. Using the tools you can find, you must identify the aliens hiding among the guests at the party and reveal their true form so that your human, David, can beat their ass!
If you can keep the aliens from overwhelming the humans at the party by midnight, you might just make it out alive!
Bark at the guests to get their attention. Grab a knife or a boombox and watch closely! How they respond to you or the item you're carrying will hint you about their true nature.
Once you find a strange guest, attack them to break through their disguise! But beware, because if you harm a human you'll get sent to time out, leaving the party open for intruders! However, if you reveal an alien hiding amonsgt the guests, they will not take kindly to your meddling and chase after you! Lead them to your human, David, so that he can knock them out for good!
---Controls---

This was such a cool game! Love playing as the dog and sniffing out aliens by barking at them! Seeing my human David beat up aliens was such a joy! Overall, I enjoyed your game!
Hi, AshChen, thanks so much for playing and sorry for the late reply!
Your vid made me catch a couple of bugs that where not intended, so thank you for that!
Haha I'm so glad you liked the concept, it's a lil goofy for a horror game but I wanted to have fun with it :)
The music compliments the gameplay very nicely - funny game to lighten the mood!
Hi, Keis, thanks so much for playing and sorry for the late reply!
Your vid actually helped me detect a bug in the game hahaha the boombox is supposed to stop playing when you get snatched, I'll make sure to fix it in the next update, so thanks for that too! :D
ur game is the bonus game at the end 10/10 likedd it
Sorry for the late reply, Shmokey!
Thanks so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
np yo thanks 4 a unique funny game
I liked it, it was fun, repetitive but fun, also! I loved the concept of the dog being the hero :D
Hi, Alexis, sorry for the late reply!
Hahaha yea, I thought being a dog was a silly setting and I just went with it, so happy you liked it!
This was quite fun! Loved the barking mechanic to find out who the alien might be... Really solid idea! Got all the endings. Made a video on it.
Hey, Fearagen! Sorry for the late reply!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm working on having more cinematic endings soon, hope you get a chance to try it again in the future!
Thank you so much for playing!

Hey, man, no worries! Im glad you enjoyed the game! Thanks so much for playing and making a video on it!
cool
Hey, Queenfaith!
Thanks so much for playing and making a video!
Nice this was very good and 2 endings I like it idk why am saying this but just saying that It would be scary to see that if my dog holds a knife and runs around the house like this to play dog who holding knife but I know the game also had boombox anyway well done keep it up!
I managed to get the Good ending and the Bad ending... I wonder if there's more????
Hey, Greydux! Thanks so much for sharing!
At the moment there are only the two endings, after the gamejam period, however, I plan on redoing the endings so that they are proper cutscenes and I want to add a third secret ending too!
that sounds cool!! I look forwarded to it :
Paper Ghost has done it again with their latest game, offering a unique and engaging experience. While it doesn't lean into the horror genre, it feels more like a dynamic version of tower defense, which keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting.
The game feels great to play, with smooth mechanics and intuitive controls that make it genuinely enjoyable. However, I think the music could be more dynamic, especially given the house party setting. A soundtrack that evolves as time passes would greatly enhance the atmosphere and keep the energy alive.
One challenge I faced was distinguishing the body snatchers from the other characters. The only real clue was their ominous dial-up sound, which, while creepy, wasn’t always enough to identify them quickly. Making their bodily reactions more noticeable would definitely improve the gameplay and make these encounters more thrilling.
A fun feature to note is the "dog vision" mode. Don’t forget to turn it on for the full B movie experience! It adds a quirky charm to the game and is a delightful touch that fans of the genre will appreciate.
The game would also benefit from more sound effects during fights. Adding these would make the action scenes more immersive and impactful, bringing the combat to life in a way that’s currently missing.
Overall, Amaakir has crafted another excellent game, showcasing their creativity and skill in game development. Despite a few minor areas for improvement, this game is a testament to their ability to deliver fun and engaging experiences. I'm really looking forward to the next version of this release and seeing how they continue to innovate and refine their work.
