wasnt as scary as the your other works, still scared me though... but it makes up for that in its challenging and fun gameplay, personally loved this, didnt beat it but will make a seperate video on this if people on my channel ask enough.

I played this a little bit ago and absolutely loved it. I really liked this game and am super excited to see what else you make in the future! Keep up the great work
had fun and freaked me out a bit! this was better than i expected since i play so many other indie games 7/10
I HOPE YOUR HEARING IS GOOD lol! Banish was an enjoyable and moderately difficult indie horror game playthrough. The graphics aong with game mechanics are smooth, and the setting overall is extremely immersive. I WOULD RECOMMEND!
Great short horror! I really enjoyed playing it! Creepy! 5/5
(Gameplay in Portuguese)
The game was fun, it was shorter than I expected, but that's not a problem. Can't wait for the next Ollie Hall game.
itch io really lacks games like this...
I absolutely loved the game! The gameplay was smooth, and the atmosphere was genuinely terrifying. Thank You! 🤗
I loved your game so much :D
Subbed! I hope you reach your goal of 1000 :D
Genuinely a really spooky game. Love the idea of banishing, how you have to focus on the audio which leaves you prone to scares. Wish the Witch either wasn't shown or was shown less obviously I feel like that would've added a lot but insane for a game jam game
Gameplay if you're interested:
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE DONE A COMPILATION BUT THESE GAMES HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE SCARIER!! Youtube Link -
The sound design and art style in this game are truly next level! Really fun and scary game!
It was already scary enough but putting me under pressure with what I had to listen to made it more intense!
LOVED THE GAME I WAS AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT
JUST RECENTLY HIT 20 SUBS!!!
Mah dude, this game - got THAT potential! Absolutely LOVE the atmosphere you’ve created her, especially with the sounds!
Really pushes the player to the edge. Just one small suggestion i've added at the end of the video.
Keep it up and wish u the absolute best on ur future projects!
I really liked this game! It’s was very scary the suspense and tension was amazing. I like to joke that my hearing is not great. And man was the ending hard couldn’t beat it but I might try and give it another go. But I loved this game a lot.
