Hi!

I really enjoyed playing this game,  although I am not a big fan of the genre. The hallucinations really got me jumping the first time :)

If you can, take a look at our game as well. I'd be glad to get your feedback.

Developer

Thanks! Sure I will check your game.

The setting of the game is very successful, it was really scary. Congratulations.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I had a blast playing your game. I loved the hallucination effects and I'm still thinking of how I could implement them in my games because of the aesthetic. The idea also fitted nicely with the theme in my opinion. 

I'm really happy to be the 20th person to rate you game because it's really nice. I look forward to more games made by you. 5/5

Developer

Thanks for such a kind words!

Really good job on the atmosphere with the guy whispering, it felt creepy when he was nearby. Though the game itself was pretty easy, I could sprint around and get away from anything nearby no problem. And I'm not sure if it's just my monitor but the building was visible enough to where I never had to use the flashlight. I wasn't able to figure out the good ending if any, I was only able to find the medium ending after killing all the phantoms. Great work!

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I made the building not so dark on purpose. That's why it is easy to see even without a flashlight. To unlock good ending you have to kill all phantoms using camera and shoot the intruder (Note that shooting the pistol ends the game).

nice graphics and sfx. The mood of the game is perfect. Bit short but a great experience.

Developer

Thanks!

Very pleasant and responsive controls. Game seemed to me too simple, maybe it was worth adding some effects on top of the screen making it difficult to navigate and for additional spooky atmosphere.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

Hey!

First of all, congrats for finishing the game! This game really impressed me and I don't know why it has just a few rates because it is an awesome game. To begin with, the audio work you've done was amazing, the atmosphere was so intense and... I got scared. But it was fun and I really enjoyed it. I also have some feedback, maybe you can use it to improve the game.

I know the time was very short but I feel like some sound effects for the menu buttons or maybe a short music track played on loop would have been really great. I got to finish the game with bad and medium ending but I have no idea how to finish it with the good ending, so I think it would be great if you can add some instructions to the game (in game). One final thing that I want to point out is this: All rooms look the same for me, so after some running I was asking myself "How big this place is?" "I was there before?". So I think it would be really helpful for the player to add a little mini map to the game, this way I can always know where I am and make decisions about where I want to go, instead of just running around.

Nonetheless, this was an amazing game and you did a really great job. I see that you made the game alone and that's amazing! I really enjoyed the game and I hope my feedback was helpful and it will help you to make some improvements here and there.

Congrats for your hard work!

Thanks! I really appreciate your feedback.

Originally, I wanted to create an entire house for the player to explore. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do it in such a limited time. I also wanted to add more plot elements in the form of notes that would tell the player what to do. Thanks again for your feedback!

Did you record / edited the audio yourself?
Because the soundscape was easily the best part for me. (Even if not, great sound sourcing and sound design)

I wasn't able to get anything but the medium ending.
I tried dispatching all phantoms and then kill the intruder and killing the intruder as fast as possible while elimination only 3 or 4 phantoms on the way. I also tried shooting him in the head and in the heart which did not seem to have any effect.

Using a gun on the intruder felt a bit weird, I guess too real, compared to the supernatural phantoms. But that might just be me.

Overall a nice and atmospheric experience.

Developer

Thank you for such kind words!

All the sounds come from a website called Freesound.org. I had bigger plans for the intruder, but time constraints prevented them from being implemented. To unlock good ending you have to kill all phantoms using camera and shoot the intruder (Note that shooting the pistol ends the game). Shooting an intruder in the head is impossible due to the inaccurate size of the collider. Thank you for your detailed feedback!

Submitted

The game is very good at setting the mood, especially because of the audio design! Short but sweet

Developer

Thanks! I really appreciate that you gave it a try.

I really liked the use of the camera to wipe away the hallucinations. I felt as though the intruder wasn't really a threat  though. I think if he finds you it be more threatening to have him start running and ramp the music up to add that intensity!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

I didn't want the game to be too hard. Therefore, it is not really difficult to avoid the intruder.

The whispering sent chills down my spine, I love this ^^ The audio part is especially really well done.

I wish the intruder was more of a thread then being so slow but hey! I enjoyed the game anyways ^^

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

Rated!, quite real spoopy, not my cup of tea since it's horror, but the effort is just to immense to ignore, great job! XD

I had a lot of fun playing it. I played through it about five or six times and got the bad and medium endings. Is there a good ending or is it not real? The voice lines for the intruder were really good and creeped me out.

There is a good ending. To unlock it you have to kill all phantoms using camera and shoot the intruder (Note that shooting the pistol ends the game).
