I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN SO PISSED ABOUT THE STORY OF A GAME!!!! WHAT KIND OF FUCKED UP MAN LEAVES HIS WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND ALONE IN THE HOUSE WITH SOME CREEPY MOTHER FUCKING CREATURE FROM A WEIRD BOX TO GO FUCKING JOY RIDING IN SUV!!! I SAY JOYRIDING BECAUSE YOU NEVER SAW HIM GO GET THE HELP HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO!! THEN SAD BECAUSE HE COMES HOME TO FIND HIS HER DEAD!!! ALL COULD THINK IS THIS ASSHOLE KILLED HER AND THEN WHEN HE DIES I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE I FIGURED HE DESERVED IT FOR BEING SO STUPID AND SELFISH FOR LEAVING HER ALONE IN THE HOUSE WITH THE BEAST IN THE FIRST PLACE!!


You must not think very well of women if you write a fucked up story like this. I mean would you leave your girlfriend alone in the house with some creepy box creature? I know I sure as hell would not. If I was a Patreon supporter I would not be after this. and if I had ever her of your channel on youtube I would never  watched a video by you again.

this is just a game bro

thanks for the back up dude. Some people are just overly sensitive these days. You do need to separate the game from the artist though. It’s just a story. Nothing more :)

wow. I’m sorry you feel this way. 

Just to clarify, the world is not all sunshine & rainbows. It’s a story. It’s a small game & nothing more. Would you have complained of the guy was left alone? Probably not. Also, I think very highly of women & this game doesn’t portray any hate towards women. As I said, it’s a story.

I am married. I have children. You need to be able to separate the art/game/creation from the artist. As I said above, it’s just a game. I’m grateful that you tried it & your opinion is valid. I appreciate your time leaving me a comment but I stand by my decision to make games the way I want to. 

Films do this all the time & I think some perspective is needed. If you would like to look at any of my other games on here I’m sure you will see this isn’t a trend.

One of the staples of horror is characters making stupid decisions and dying for it. This is nothing new. If you were familiar with the horror genre, you would either realize this, or be the angriest person in the world. Not to mention, this game was made in 5 days. Your extremely harsh criticism is totally unnecessary, and a waste of your time.

... and others' time too....


Does a film maker create a film about Hannibal Lector because he is a fan of cannibalism?


Is the developer of games about WWII a Nazi or a fan of war or of bloody things, or sadist?


There can always be argued about whether a story is good or not, but hiere someone seems not to have unterstood what makes a horror story...

I have not played yet, by connection is a bit slow at time, but then I will report a bit....would be the first time, I have not reviewd games before. I think I am not the best to this because I have not depeloved anything myself until now.

Honestly buddy, I am fine with any comments. Constructive criticism is fine. I'll appreciate any feedback regardless :)

You are reading way to much into this.

Let me grab you some testimonials

You must not play many horror games if you think ANY main character is gonna make rational, real world decisions lol. You gonna criticize Capcom for making Ethan Winters literally lie down and watch his wife get shot up full of holes and his baby stolen and brought to a vampire village? This is what separates games from the real world. ESPECIALLY horror games.

If you don't think charging head first into certain doom is a dumb decision, I don't know what to tell you. Almost every horror protagonist is guilty of doing this. Otherwise, the games/movies would be over as soon as you start them. The ONLY relatable thing they could do is say "NOPE fuck this I'm out," but where is the fun in that? Play Man Of Medan and tell me all those characters are flawless, relatable human beings who always make good decisions and don't do stupid things that cause harm to others. That is one of THOUSANDS of horror games with flawed protagonists that make outlandish decisions that would never take place in reality. You're looking WAY too deep into a 10 minute indie horror game and taking one aspect of it to heart for no good reason, and applying a fictional character's stupid move to a real world scenario that could never happen. And just because you don't like the game doesn't absolve you of criticism when you start hurling personal insults at the developer. There are a lot of games on this website that present FAR WORSE situations than this one, so you're in for a rude awakening if you decide to play more.

People put alot of effort to create these games for us all to enjoy. I personally enjoyed this game alot. If you do not enjoy something then that's okay, you're free to express that of course. That's the beauty of art. It's subjective. The dev even said that himself, but what you're doing here is just being outright rude. Please be more considerate when offering feedback here. It goes a long way. Your feedback is hugely valuable to developers of these games if expressed in the right way.

you are a legend. Thank you. 

What people don’t realise as I don’t actually say anything about this is I actually study game development & recently just received the highest mark in my cohort for my work. 

The university of Falmouth is also specifically curated towards games, so to think that I don’t know what I am talking about or not being able to make a game is ridiculous. Funnily enough if you check out EVP & What is that, he would see that I came first place in those game jams for multiple categories :)

Also you should be careful what you write to people. You don't know how it'll effect them, especially since the dev is a husband and father. It was clearly not an intentional story choice to dig at women... To wrongfully accuse someone of such a thing simply because you didn't like a story choice is not cool.

THIS ☝🏻

I'm a woman and I played the game and it never once occurred to me that the dev hates women. You are reading way too much into a game that is supposed to be a fun and silly little experience. Drawing conclusions about the dev like that based off of this game is ridiculous.

Horror protagonists are generally dumb and tend to make poor decisions. This is a staple of the horror genre; I even reference this during my playthrough. As far as horror games go, this one is VERY tame. I would advise not playing other horror games if something like this upsets you.

In the future, do not attack devs just because you dislike a game, please. They make the game; they are NOT the character(s) in the game. It is a story that is meant to entertain. Don't accuse the dev of being a bad father/husband just because of a silly game. Words cannot express just how ridiculous that notion is.

Thank you so much! I adore my wife & kids & this is just someone who is really out of touch with how games work. 

I appreciate you playing & taking the time to send this really thought out message :)

It is completely absurd, what the guy said

Someone who cannot unterstand Horror should not play such games, that is it.

After playing I cannot find anything that could improve those comments


So you are right

If you knew the movie you'd know why. It's actually a short film, search youtube for "The other side of the box", you'll know which one when you see the thumbnail. I was angry, too, that he left his wife with the box, but it makes kinda sense in the film.
Never explained in the game, tho.

Edit: Also, calm down. All your interpretations of the dev's character and life choices based on a small game he published on itch are ... I don't find the words.
Speaking as a women here, please use this energy and defend women's rights where it matters and not by capslocking the comment section of an indie game. We have much more problems than storylines like that - like the games on Steam where the whole game is to "beat up hookers until you get your money", please go there and unleash your fury on those devs. :) I'm totally rooting for you!

(Plus; thinking about it - I'd have asked my husband to get help, too, because I'm not even taken seriously when I'm explaining the stuff I have a friggin bachelor's degree on. Trust me, guy-person would have had much higher chances of anyone believing him. Just on a side note. :)  )

Never seen it but it's on my list :) thanks for sharing. Please remember these are just games.

love the edit to this. Thank you again for defending the game for what it’s meant to be. A story, nothing else. I appreciate the support :)

he will always be a better parent than most and to be so petty over a video game just means you need to grow up and either get a job or a girlfriend or boyfriend whatever floats your boat to relive some of your frustration
