good game!

A pause menu and mouse sensitivity options would be nice, but overall it was a great experience!

Scarecrow jumpscare would have also been cool.

Concept and setting are really good, ending was great, good job!

I saw a telescope and was a little disappointed I couldn't use it, but that's fine. 

I found the environment really charming and laughed at the "truck" keys (thought they went to the ship), but I will admit I did end up giving up when I turned the wrong way in the field and got stuck on a fence. I didn't really want to do more work to try to find the exit and let myself get caught.

The addition of another alien in the field was a really good surprise! I didn't think much of the alien's chase speed but did a double take when I saw two come out.

Did find a dead dude, but never a key. Didn't find much to interact with in the game really. 

Great work with the icon!

Very nice work! Really creepy game. Would love to play a non game-jam version of this but I can see past the rough edges!

Oh nice, that was very spooky!
Drawings in huts and scarecrow model are awesome.
And this pursuit... Makes the heart beat faster.
Also ending is so disturbing.

Nice game!
The aesthetics looks really good, I've had fun searching for the driver, and that creature creeped me out!
Nice game! Congrats for your submission!

I loved the tone of it all. a little light hearted

I chuckled when I found the comically large keys to the truck. I chuckled again when the aliens chased me in slow motion, never having the chance to catch me even when I was out of stamina . But I cackled when I saw the ending cutscene XD

On a more serious note, I still played the game from start to finish and got some enjoyment out of it. There are collisions missing in some objects, especially in the barn. The sound design is decent. A few of the art assets don't mesh with the rest of the game. But still, great job for creating this in only 40 hours. It's fully playable from start to finish, and that's great.

Thank you for playing and rating! 

I'm glad you enjoyed our little creepypasta experience. We did focus on making it fully playable and to provide a short spooky experience. So we cut some corners on some of the art assets. the keys are indeed very large so you cannot miss them :p

Great game considering the fact that this was made in under 2 days! The creature chase sequence & the ending was cool. Liked the atmosphere. Good entry πŸ‘πŸ»

The more you looked into the game and messed around with things the more flaws that would show but at a base stance the game was pretty solid it did everything it was supposed to do well.

i thought the art for the alien was fairly cool and i enjoyed the scarecrows head move and i liked the ending too

The art was kind of jank. The skybox and corn field were cool but the hand looked out of place. Honestly just having a floating lamp would have been nice to avoid the arm with a different art style.

Being able to hold the lamp out would have been nice to see the stuff on the wall better and have more interactivity.

The stamina bar being green was confusing at first I thought it was health.

The alien wasn't so scary when it got near but was kinda creepy when it was just eyes off in the distance.

I like the ending with it hitching a ride with us.

Overall a decent entry.
