On my first play through, I almost destroyed my keyboard with my drink due to the jump scare the creature gave me, I give this 5 drowned keyboards out of 5!

Excellent worldbuilding and map work, the forest has maze elements without falling into the trap of backtracking, intriguing set pieces and of course the beast! (I have an actual and real fear of Wendigos, so must admit had to stop playing after it got me, but after a lie down I'll get back into it!) Camera zoom controls were on point and felt very natural. Level of detail culling was very good, as was the addition of a graphics menu, which ensured my experience was silky smooth even on old equipment.

I didn't notice any player feedback through the camera when I had the monster in full frame, even after following it around for about 20 seconds, it then turned around and spotted me! Also some slight environmental sound cut outs after being in camera view and zooming in and out all the way. But apart from that very solid!

Succeeded within the genre of the game, which was to scare the bejeebus outta me! Well done! :)

If you want to play it for real, The point of the game is to Record the Wendigo. There is a bar at the bottom of the camera overlay that slowly fills as you do so. Sorry, this is my bad for not really making it clear.

So polished - voice acting, atmosphere, music/SFX, everything was on point. I got lost though and stuck on where to go trying to follow the sound. But awesome for 10 days.

Great atmosphere, lovely sound effects, great use of a camera feature. I really liked how you had the light guiding the player through the woodland. I wasn't quite sure what to do though and ran around aimlessly. haha Great job for the time frame we had.
