I found your demo very enjoyable! Loved how you implemented the psychological horror into it and not just relying on jumps scares. Although, the last jumpscare got me good! Was a couple of times i felt like the sound was bit out but apart from that, excellent job and i look forward to the full release and any other future projects!
I have been staring at my computer for the better part of 20 minutes trying to put my enjoyment of this game into words. I have played so many horror games in my days and I have to say that this ranks up there with some of the greats.I think I finally figured out what to say.
This is the first time in a very long time that I got to PLAY a horror game. Let me clarify. This game felt like you were telling me a story and I got to experience it at my own pace. There was no bullshit that stopped me half way through an intense moment so I could find three pieces of paper, two key cards, and an old shoe before I was allowed to progress. There were no moments where I had to open 45 drawers and check 19 doors to figure out where I was supposed to go or what I was supposed to collect. There was never a time where you gave me 15 novels to read through so I could find 1 clue and a little bit of lore.
The sound effects were on point, a few times they might have been a bit too loud and I think it's something that could be tweaked but over all they were satisfying. The silent moments had the right amount of ambient dark background sounds to keep you on the edge of your seat while not bringing you to the moment of “What the fuck are all these weird ass sounds going on”.
I hate the idea of having to change flashlight batteries or in this case refill lighter fluid but in my whole playthrough the lighter never got below half and it honestly felt realistic with how long it would take for a zippo to run out of fluid so I can respect that. The one thing I really dislike is the idea of taking pills to “Calm yourself” or “Reduce panic” since neither of those things really make any sense. The best example I can give is imagine you are watching a great horror movie, the main character is sneaking around an abandoned house, being stalked by an unknown horror at every turn, death could be right behind the protagonist...and every 30 minutes they stop to put more fluid in their lighter and take a handful of pills. Being forced to open your menu and select pills or fluid really takes you out of the moment and in my opinion is something that should be reconsidered.
You had just the right amount of everything, from the sensitivity, to the movement, to the lighting, to the sound effects. This game has more potential than a lot of the games I've seen in awhile and I am very excited to see how the final product turns out. A solid 9/10
This was pretty good! While the overall pacing could use a bit of touching up, this game provided a lot of tension and some good jump scares! Might be beneficial to add some more sound and light cues to help guide the player, cause there were a lot of long periods of time that I spent roaming around without a clue of what to do next. Other than that, this was a good experience! Great work!
Thanks for your feedback. I am very pleased that my work was appreciated. In the full version, I will take into account the moments that were incomprehensible.
This was amazing! I can't wait to be able to play a full version game of this! The scares was really good and I love the idea of using the camera like we do.
This game did not disappoint in the slightest! The scares got me reallll good bruh xD. Good game overall! There was one bug I discovered in the beginning part as well.
This demo's really good, man. It's creepy as hell and definitely scared me a few times. I always love it when a game can make me jump. Thanks for the fun! I'll definitely keep an eye out for the full release.
There is another mine further down, so I clarified. Most likely you have touched a staircase along which you can go down, or you can just jump off. I will fix it. Thank you for your feedback.
I got the biggest scare that I even melted my underwear!
Jogo de Terror Muito Assustador que dá muito medo e sustos. Otimo game!
Very Scary Horror Game that gives a lot of fear and scares. Great game!
LOL This game is in Early Access and will be improved. It is calculated about 60 minutes of the game. Is this an official statement on your part about the malware? Please provide proof.
ok, you walk up to the door grab that thing sticking out of it usually about mid-way down the door called the knob, and then try turning it. It usually will only go in one direction but if it goes both it doesn't matter which way you turn it. once you turned till it will not turn any more you then need to either push or pull the door open. You will be able to tell this simply by trying either to push or pull the door and if you can't do one then try the other. So if for example if you tried pulling it and it won't let you then try pushing it. Now that you're able to move the door you will want to open it to a large enough gap between it and the doorway so you can walkthrough. that is how you open an unlocked door. next week's lesson is on how to open doors that are locked. Stay tuned!!!
Hello, the project will continue and develop, I want to receive feedback, reviews and comments. This is my first project, I am working on it alone. I want to take into account the wishes of the players in the further development of the plot.
well all I can tell is when I tried to play this with all settting set as low as possible it would just kick me out of the game. I tried twice and would not let me play at all. Did not even run choppy because of the lower specs of my pc just would kick me out would not even take me into the game.
with some games that say they require 8 gigs, I can get by with the 4 that are on my computer and tone down the settings even though it may choke a bit during gameplay. The other experience I have had when I have tried to run games that are above my computer's specs is it will let me into the game but just run so sluggishly that it is not worth playing at all. That is why I am surprised this didn't at least do that it just kicked me out without even allowing me to get into the first screen of the actual game.

Годная демка, некоторые скримеры очень даже хороши. Надеюсь, в полной версии будет русский язык.
Спасибо, за обратную связь, русский язык в любом случае будет. Учту моменты которые были не понятны.

Вполне не плохой инди проект. Для одного человека хорошая работа!

Which door exactly? In which room?

This is what happens when I am bored.
Also thank you for the free sale. What made you decide to give it away instead of making a couple of bucks?

It is a pity that you could not evaluate my project. Spent a lot of time optimization, write the characteristics of your computer?
with some games that say they require 8 gigs, I can get by with the 4 that are on my computer and tone down the settings even though it may choke a bit during gameplay.

Maybe it gives some kind of error? Let's take a look at the situation.
What are the minimum system requirements to run this game because on steam ram under minimum says 8 and here it says 4 which is it, please?
Thank you for your attention. The minimum system requirements will be changed to 8GB RAM
