Thanks, yeah it can be a bit of a challenge to make a game scary when you give the player a shotgun haha.

Well, now I can say that I finally played every game in the jam that I could. This is one of the best. My only complaint is that it is too short. I wish it were longer.

Developer

Well done, that's quite a few games to get through! Thank you very much, yeah that has been the main complaint, I might expand it into a longer game at some point.

Perfect example of a great, short indie horror game, nailed all of the elements. A bit difficult, but that encourages at least one replay imo, and the ammo and health counter that. Just excellent!

Thank you very much! I wasn't too sure about the difficulty, I tested it so many times during development that I wasn't sure if it was too hard or too easy.

I love horror shooters and i wish more would come out with a ps1 style. I especially loved The Whitetail incident. I think it is perfect.

Developer

Thanks very much! I'm a big fan of horror shooters too.

I love these types of games

Awesome, I'm a big fan of horror Shooters.

An absolutely gorgeous experience, especially considering that it was made by a single guy in mere 2 weeks! 

Developer

Thanks very much!

Haunting and thrilling!!

This game has a huge story within the small amount of gameplay, yet, it delivers such an impactful action driven sequences that hunt me. It was exceptional to see the game's mechanical idea being brought in such a small area, where the game takes place, although, the narrow environment made it more scary and taunting to shoot and be aware of your environments.

The animation, scene direction, sound design was top notch. Not going to spoil anything, every one is very welcome to play this game. Definitely slasher/cult genre best. 

LOVED IT!
