I feel like maybe whatever story is being told here could be communicated just a tiny bit more clearly, but nonetheless, I ended up really getting into the game's off the wall tone, and certainly curious about the real narrative happening here. It's like a psycho roller coaster ride once you get into it, and it's super fun. All the more demented lines your character start to speak are so over the top that they become immensely entertaining, and like I said, the sound, the faces and some of the implications do actually manage to build up to a creepy atmosphere. I do find the game to be one of those that tries a little too hard, throwing as much "creepy" at the player as possible with (seemingly) little coherence and relation to the story going on - but that's actually not a bad thing here. and with some of the faces your main character ends up making and the excellent sound design, you do rack up some creeps. I enjoy RPGMaker horror quite a bit, and it's always fun to see an environment gradually get more demented (great examples of that would be Love, Sam and Suite 776 for those interested), so you're giving me a lot of fun to work with here. So, just in case, I apologize for potentially saying something false. I seem to remember reading that on this page, but now I can't find it at all and I think I may have imagined it or confused it with another game. Overall, I commend you for the great game! I look forward to more updates.įirst of all, I state somewhere in the beginning of this video that this was developed for some manner of Creepypasta Game Jam. I'd also suggest looking through true crime documentaries (as long as they dont make you uncomfortable of course): I'm a sucker for policial and horror media, and true crime history is a very good source for ideas and plot devices in such genres. Overall, I commend you for the interesting concept and great atmosphere! One thing I'd point out tho, is that I'd tone it down with the creepy notes in the bookshelf, for example, a few come a bit too on the nose, and kind of drag me out of the atmosphere. I've got to admit, at first i was skeptic because I thought it was going in a certain direction for which I though some of the details where a bit too on the nose, but it actually ended up being a very pleasant gameplay! I really like the idea of exploring the mental degradation of the main character, and while I often prefer my supernatural explained, leaving the creature, and causes of the hallucinations ambiguous, actually did a great service for the atmosphere. Liked that a lot! A LOT! It was a wonderfully made experience. I think it would be a great addition to the game! Like if you want to finish the game in the shed instead of the well - then the investigation will come up with different conclusion or something like that.

I anticipated alternative ending in the shed so much! And there were none :( It would be so cool if there were several endings. It was just weird - seeing that you can sprint in a creepy basement, getting suspension built up and then nothing happened :(Ģ.

Maybe it would be cool to add some or to introduce controls before the start of the game. I think the introduction of sprint is kinda useless cause there were no chase scenes.

At some point, when you think it can't get any creepier - it gets there and beyond XDġ. I especially loved the face of the main character. That was sooo damn spooky! The whole thing was just terrifying and unsettling.
