What an incredible experience I gotta say and I am not even gonna hide how biased I am towards such a way of using and combining a little bit of metroidvania and old-school Resident Evil style of gameplay. I enjoyed it all the way through, exploration was enjoyable and never felt tedious. Though, I managed to forget a few places I had to backtrack to but it wasn't a huge issue.
Bosses are all great and leave a great memorable impression.
I don't really have anything to say from personal experience as everyone else already wrote what I would have said.
Insanely good game as always from Mattin.

Out of all the shortventure games we got, I think this one oozes the most charm. The story is so goofy but it works perfectly, and the way you build up courage to do things is a great use of the theme. What I loved the most though was how you made every grave feel special. I was actually excited every time I went into a new one because I wanted to see what you would do with them. And don't get me started on Molestey's grave...
Even aside from the humor and the creativity, it is super polished. The game looks beautiful and the use of sound effects is great too. Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this game. I liked every part of it. Even before you get into the graveyard there's a good moth meme that made me chuckle. And the attention to detail on everything is perfect, down to the kid progressing through K3 in the credits sequence. (I think the kid is Stonk, by the way, because he clears the game in one sitting).
I have nothing else to say really other than I wish it was longer. Awesome game!

Nice take on the concept and a solid package all around, but I feel like it needed an actual boss to really round things out.

Rating doesn't include extra.
The reviews for this seem to be pretty device-ive. I really enjoyed this game. Every stage had clever triggers except for the black-and-white stage and the moon stage. The bosses are mostly good except for Flandre which has incredibly long i-frames, and the hardest attack is at the end. The final boss is easily the hardest part of the game because the RNG can be tough to read, but I almost never found it to be totally unreadable. The game was very fun overall, and I think it stands pretty well despite its age.
The main game is absolutely recommended if you like traps and can handle the occasional bad save.
EXTRA: The secrets are easily the worst platforming in the game, and almost all of the buffed bosses are less fun than their original versions. I don't personally recommend doing the extra unless you want that K2 EXPERIENCE.

Graverobber is a real standout submission for the contest. Everything from the humourous story to the inventive level design and the very polished atmosphere and attention to detail makes it a very memorable shortventure. You have a very good ability to create memorable platforming in small spaces, something which I feel isn't easily done. Aside from the normal platforming which was enjoyable, the graves themselves all felt unique and had their own gimmick or design which made them stand out, and I always looked forward to robbing my next grave to see what lied in wait. The jester grave in particular was a standout. I also like the miniboss in the pre-graveyard area, which was a reference I didn't expect to see. The theme was integrated creatively and the background effects made the atmosphere feel that bit more special.
I somewhat struggle to find things I disliked, as it felt like a really well-made small package. I'd generally say I'd have liked to see it go on for longer or perhaps a boss to round things off, but given there were mini-bosses of sorts and the contest requirements in terms of length, it fits the brief pretty perfectly. A couple of the spider segments weren't initially obvious on timing but a couple of deaths later it wouldn't be a problem.
Overall not just a great entry but just a great game on a whole. My favourite game of yours and very likely my favourite submission from the 2018 shortventure contest. Very fun stuff!

I had a lot of fun with this one. Interesting platforming, good music, nice atmosphere, etc etc. The curse mechanic was poorly explained, but executed well. I do agree with the judges in that the final area was too precise at times. Primarily two bits: The turret finale and the bit where you fall through a rapidly flashing laser into gunfire. Those two parts felt obnoxiously precise. However, I really loved the precision in this save https://i.imgur.com/qam5qU8.jpg because doing it fast felt very, very cool. Anyway, overall a fangame I'm glad I played.

It's good. I'm really baffled by its inclusion in the "fear" shortventure contest, and I think the gimmicks used are among the most overused in fangames (VVVVVV for instance), but it's a fine game with a banging soundtrack.

i kept on getting lost and running into dead ends and didnt know where to go. I also missed the ruby because i went down and i had to wait for a friend to tell me where it was since i thought i looked everywhere.
wasnt a fan of the fear mechanic, i dont like having to wait when i make a mistake and waiting for my fear to go down, and being able to essencially skip a gate or something get rid of the fangame-feel
it was pretty easy too, wish it was harder, other than all that it was pretty fun, good bosses except the final boss was a little disappointing
