I ended up playing Sinister along with Don't Go Down and I enjoyed this particular experience, I am a very harsh critic; and although some parts seem thrown together and fast-paced, I actually really enjoyed this title. Hope to see more like this!
this game was really creepy and I enjoyed playing through it. I did get stuck on one part but after that I was good. I made a video if you're interested, it is the second game I play.
Had a healthy number of jump scares and suspense but kind of a disjointed boogly woogly feel! I appreciated the classic COD references! Follow me on Twitch:

Nice environment, scary situations, and good game in general. Pennywise was a bit unnecessary. Something else could have been used to cause the scare. Cool game though! =D
Sinister is a great short horror game that tackles a lot of random horror elements, that actually get you by surprise, I really enjoyed it! The sound design was really great and kept me on edge, and the Playstation 1 graphics really suit the horror genre!
Holy moly! This game was very creepy, I liked the art style & the atmosphere. The jumpscares were nice too! Here is my playthrough, with my final thoughts at the end!
Today I played this game with my facecam enabled for a change. Quite spooky in some parts as you can see by my reaction. The stairs tho seem bugged, as you can't walk straight up them.. You gotta move side to side, to get up as i noticed. Overall, Great Game. Great Work!
Liked the game as a proof of concept. Very neat art style. Think the fact that the pixelated effect obscures a lot of elements suits a horror game very well.
As for changes I'd personally make:
Ease up a little on the jumpscares. For such a short game it's mostly fine, but jumpscares get old very quickly and become more annoying in the long run. More subtle things are cool, like the bed in Monika's room moving, or the phone disappearing. That sort of thing
Beside that I'd keep the monster far out of view of the camera instead of up in your face. Like with that crooked teeth monster. She looked great during the hallway jumpscare where she was a bit further away and all pixelated. You can tell it's a person (or humanoid at least), but you can't make out details and you have to fill in the blanks yourself. That stuff tends to work very well for horror games. She looked terrible in the ending close up ^^" More goofy than anything scary, in my opinion at least. But that may also be a personal thing.
Also curious why the game is set in 1997 Pripyat as that's not mentioned anywhere or pointed at anywhere, except briefly in the intro. Does the game have anything to do with the Chernobyl disaster? Since living in Pripyat in 1997 wasn't really a thing. Is it like an alternate world where the disaster never happened? Or maybe that's something that will be expanded on later. That is definitely the main thing that stuck out to me story wise. Out of any place in the world one could pick, and any time, that seems awfully specific and strange, but nothing was done with it

The atmosphere was incredible, and the random sounds and pixels only enhanced it! Great job on making such a good game!

The more I think about it, maybe the Clown was Monica.
If you ever get invited to your gf apartment this can happen.
I had a lot of fun playing it! Keep up the good work!
I liked the game. I wasn't expecting that clown at that moment, I confess I almost jumped out of my chair lol
Gameplay PT-BR
what...the...freak lol
Got catfished by monica, i knew it was to good to be true :(
An enjoyable and fun experience, although - I have to admit, Pennywise showing up had absolutely threw me off.
- Really fun, I recommend!Liked the game as a proof of concept. Very neat art style. Think the fact that the pixelated effect obscures a lot of elements suits a horror game very well.
