Enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! It was fun, and did pretty well with the environment and the sounds combined! The spook at the end wasn't loud or anything (which is so different from other games (in a good way)) and you really did build it up to the end with all the things going wrong in the house! You took a basic thing that almost everyone might do and tried to make it into horror which wasn't half bad!
This game was great in its scary environment. Couldn't stop being paranoid. You should check out my video below even though it might be worse in quality compared to the ones below.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (the game is the 1st there)) Likes and subs are highly appreciated!!:
Advantages:
I love the spooks! They were subtle at first and then unexpected and very cool! I think that you had a very clear idea of what the player would think at a certain moment and you find a way to surprise them (at least me)). Great job!
Disadvantages:
I wish there'd be more endings! For example, if there'd be an option to wake the parents up or to get out of the house and something like that. You don't even have to animate endings or anything of that sort, a short epilogue would do! I feel that the game would benefit a lot from that!
Overall:
It was a very cool experience but I'll rate it 4/5 stars because I think it could be so much cooler if player would have more options on how to act. I mean, if I'd seen something in my house, I wouldn't just go to bed to try to sleep the nightmares away, I'd act differently.
Your stupid low polygon graphic video game can't scare me!! I am brave and fearless!! I was only screaming with laughter at the end because of how ridiculous I thought this game was, It had nothing to do with me being spooked. Because when your brave and fearless like me you laugh in the face of danger all the time.
The game is very effective at creating a creepy atmosphere. The sounds were really good and I really liked the scary creeper-like thing. The protagonist didn't seem to be that intelligent. Even by horror game/movie standards, they seemed to be either really dumb and/or unaware of their surroundings. Was a fun, short horror experience and I enjoyed it! Great job on the game!
Dying of Thirst is a short 5 minute game which was an enjoyable and creepy experience. As a student of Vellore Institute of Technology, Bhopal Campus, India, we, students of the Game Development branch were made to post a detailed review of a game of our choice on a public platform as an activity, and this will be an in-depth review of the short game.
The game’s concept is pretty simple and to the point as we should expect from a short game. The player in a first person point of view wakes up in the middle of the night as he realizes that he is thirsty and needs to drink some water. So leaves his room to get water from his fridge in the kitchen of the house. Along the way the atmosphere of the home is pretty creepy which gives a scary element to the game that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The thing which I liked the most from the game is its choice of sound effects. They were as good as it gets and helped a lot in setting up the scary element of the game. The controls were easy with the WASD keys moving the player and the mouse to look. The only aspect of the game that lacked impact on me was the last scene which was meant to be a jump scare but the visual of the ghost/monster wasn’t captivating enough to scare me even though the choice of sound effect was good again.
Overall, I’ll say that the game was an enjoyable short play and that it was able to keep me creeped up for the 5 minutes, the audio and sound effects being the highlight of it. So I’ll rate it a 7/10.
Fun game! Honestly, I never expected it to actually be effective. Short but sweet, this game accomplished what seems to be intended. Reminds me of one of those “Tell a scary story in one sentence, but in game form.
Nice short game. Having to move around the house in dark is spooky irl too and after this reminder of that I will so use lights even if I just want to get that one cup of water real quick.
This game is absolutely fantastic. Quick horror experience that uses the ambiance extremely well. Look forward to seeing what else you have made or will make!
This was really creepy i enjoyed it a lot! I thought it was going to be one of those not so serious kinda goofy horror games so it caught me off guard! It was a creepy fun little experience and heres my playthrough if you wanna see! It starts at 6:21
This game was actually really interesting. It was relatable since I feel like we all have that feeling when we get up in the middle of the night to get a cup of water. The game gave me a lot of chills every time I heard a noise so good job on the game :). Here is a video if anyone is interested:

Hope my feedback was useful!

Really nice game! Keep up the good work!:)
1000/10 good
What an amazing experience. I always knew I was destined for water. Water is life.
Ok so level one was pretty good. Cool idea, well made, but where are the rest of the levels?...
Level 2 where you have to take a piss really fucking bad but you think you might have heard something in the other room
Level 3 You have to let the dog outside but where could that little shit be...
Level 4 Netflix has asked if you "Are still watching" but your remote is dead and you cant find the batteries
AMAZING GAME!
Nice short game. Having to move around the house in dark is spooky irl too and after this reminder of that I will so use lights even if I just want to get that one cup of water real quick.

Really fun short game.. the scares are not over the top and you've made a game that is focus on a single task which is really really cool..
