Wow that was extremely messed up. Reminds me of this horror movie The Endless. A slowly unfolding anxiety attack. This game does a really interesting but subtle thing in terms of player agency and plot that I guess I don't want to spoil? tl;dr: thumbs up, worth the thirty minutes
This was a nice little game! I liked the Silent Hill vibes! It was very linear but it had a nice little story with it and I like the devs tried to build story to make things make sense.
WOW!! What a masterpiece! Can't say how much I absolutely enjoyed this game, and how unique it was to me! It was the last game I checked out in this video- and man, it might be the best!
Loved the visuals, especially those associated with the "creatures." I also liked the "notes," the differentiated humans and the way the ending played out!
I loved it from start to finish. The narrative was really strong, a perfect example why gameplay doesn't need to be complicated. You focused on the right things.
imagine youre on a roadtrip and anytime anyone in the car says anything the driver hits the brakes and stops, only continuing to drive when its silent lol
Cool game! Absolutely loved the environments and lighting.
I feel like it was held back by the characters a little though, I didn't really have time to get attached to them so it was hard to get invested in their safety. The first half or so would have benefitted from showing that we can't just turn around too. It's also just a little over written, there are some sections, like the bridge you see with Boyd near the end, that would be better off if the game just let the environment speak for itself rather than the characters commenting on it.
I'm a little mixed on the pixel art, I think the characters are very close to fitting into the style and might just need a little animation, but I had a hard time finding the monsters scary, and it's a little over-reliant on stick figures.
With all that said though, there's a lot of stuff I loved about this game. The environments are gorgeous and atmospheric, there were a few times where I'd come across an area and just stop to take it in. The sound design is very strong which makes a visceral section towards the end that could have been a flop amazing. The music adds a lot to the atmosphere too.
I think the slow reveal of the mystery works really well despite what I said earlier, and there's a really clever trick on the end of a note towards the end that really got me.
Overall, while it's got some flaws, the game has some really great stuff to offer, and I'm really excited to see what you do next. Sorry for the long comment, but I hope there's some useful feedback in there!
easily one of my top three fav games on itch.io, i swear. the dialogue between characters and the characters themselves were not only realistic, but phenomenal in general. i've never felt so much emotion from playing an indie horror game of this length. i almost wish i could replay this game with a fresh mind, it's that good :))
This game was so immersive and satisfying, it may as well be one of my favorites for this year. Good job with the unsettling story to the sick beat at tense moments. I even started my video with a small trailer because it was like a movie. Good job devs and good luck with your future projects and current ones.

Loved the cosmic horror you introduced us in this game. Really a great narrative experience, with a devastating ending

Quite enjoyed this one! Great pixel visuals and atmosphere.
Pros: you can drive backwards during the intro
Cons: you can get stuck between the car and a railing during the intro
This game is probably good and IGN gives it a 10/10
Edit: nvrmnd I got unstuck
But seriously this game knows how to create a good atmosphere and deserves a playthrough.
I really enjoyed this game though... we should have had an option to walk away at the end

Such a great game:)
I really liked this game. Great sound, great atmosphere ... a short horror story that draws you in.

Why everybody gotta give Boyd hell? He was the most logical one! Loved the story, the atmosphere and most of all the writing! Top notch!
This was fantastic. Loved the ambience and the build up, and the dialogue was well written and pulled the player in. Thoroughly enjoyed this!
This game reminds me of the warm holiday of Christmas :)
10/10 Game Bruu! 👵nice
