It's a nice game and it did a nice job raising the creep factor. I kinda wish there was another monster that harassed the player as they ran to the house. I thought constantly different monsters would show up after 1 day but it was the same deer and clown. Besides that, nice job! 9/10 scared the living out of me! (the Kitchen nightmare sound made us laugh xD)
this was a great play, hopefully we get some kinda expanded version in the future for a more long term playthrough, would love to sink my teeth into a more developed version later
For the candle issue just leave the house after awhile, if the deer is camping just trigger it and run inside. for the skinwalker you should start hearing a violin sound when it’s gone you hear a judge judy sound effect.
around 2 windigo attacks so if you get attacked your half on time just from what I’ve gathered not 100% accurate but it helps keep management of your time and oil which each attack is anywhere from 3 - 6 minutes from my gusss
hey man, as far as ive personally figured the 3 candles in the house go out over time if you stay to long but just going outside for a little will reset them, even if a skinwalker is outside you can dip in and out to at least slow down the candle progression (if the shadow does spawn i dont think you can get rid of it i think its just now a new thing to keep track of in your run,
the skinwalker when coming will start making that kinda loud not music just noise shit then after what i can tell is about 3-5 seconds the skin walker will be close enough you can hear his violin noises usually just out of view of the camera is when you can hear the violin, and once you make it to your house you know its safe again when you hear a loud violin draw indicating he's gone
pro tip as said before you can dip in and out of the house if a skinwalkers there to slow candle progression but you can also use this to when you dip out right after out of eyesight you will hear the violin as he agros on to you, but do this 2 - 4 times and suddenly you wont hear the violin when you step outside, this is because when the skilwalker leaves i believe it has to hit either side of the farms fences, but you only hear the violin draw string sound when his model is actually gone, you can use this dippin trip tech as i call it (sounded better in my head just gonna roll with it) to bassically get an extra few seconds freely to walk the farm right before the skinwalker actually disappears
sorry for the text dumb i Love this game and have starrted speedrunning it hope this helps man, Happy farming
what I do for speed running is constantly run in and out when the skinwalker doesn’t come towards you I run out as it saves time as it’s on a timer and that timer overrides the players hitbox so it’s safe to go out then
Warning ⚠️ Considerably long comment. This game is amazing. at first I didn't understand anything like shadow me which I know with candles. The water well man which is for too much water and the clowns which are soooooooo creepy. And of course the wendigo and skinwalkers (fire running man is the wendigo I think and the deer for skinwalker) the deer is kinda annoying I died when they went on the clown so I couldn't get balloon and was too far even with Max speed to get to the house so I died to that. And the deer AGAIN frickin went on the crops that give the most (which was my priority) and took me forever to get the boat. But this game was amazing and I hope more things are added in the future. I have some suggestions myself
1. New maps like wild West farm or an town map where for the wild West map you maintain your animals and collect eggs,milk etc. But at night the animals not so friendly now. and for the town maps I think that you bond with the people so they give resources but at night they turn into skinwalkers and do anything to get inside
2.Modes. An easy mode where it saves every night/monster attack less often and angered skinwalkers is slower/player is faster in general, or an nightmare mode which it's always dark upgrades are 1.5x expensive and crops need 2 splashes of water to move one level up.
3.Seasons. Winter mode where it's harder to see and crops have a 50/50 percent chance to grow bad and will sell less. Summer mode is just normal mode as well with spring. and with fall leaves fall on ur screen and you are slowed due to leaves idk how but poof SLOWED
4.Monster. New monsters or an monster log to say all monsters you have encountered they won't reveal untill they are on the screen and then it will say how they work if you die to it. For new monsters maybe a parasite that destroys crops (to counter is like an anti parasite seed) or maybe some traveler that asks for 75-200 coins within one day (only appears after best farm unlocked) if you help the next day no monsters will appear except for wendigo the running man and shadow you. If you don't help he will remove 10 randomly selected crops from farms but not the first 2 farms ( here is what I mean he removes 10 crops from the last 3 farms so not the middle or top right farm)
And lastly 5. An animal to scare off the skinwalkers deer. 35 percent chance when an skinwalkers appears it will get eaten and 65 percent to scare it off.
If you read this all of if you skipped half or all this is the end of this comment
Could you make new game modes? Like an easy mode and you could save in easy mode or an nightmare mode where it's always dark and monsters appear faster. This is just a suggestion.
Sticks are used for the fishing rod, which can be made down south past the well. Once that is done, you can use them for money to upgrade your tools at the sawmill next to your house. There isn’t a log monster, even tho I would find that interesting and the clown just follow its music get the ballon and give it to the other clown and you’d be safe. -nattergerry
1) In my final run, the deer decided to stop and do its grazing animation right at my door (instead of touching the door and wandering away like usual).
I had to trigger it, run back inside, then avoid my shadow as the last candlestick went out (I had already been waiting for the violin creature)
2) In another round, I lost because by the time I found the blue clown, the deer had moved right on top of it. I feel like that scenario is a frustrating lose/lose - because wait too long for the deer to move away and the clown gets you, but if you trigger the deer, you're too far from the cabin to escape.
Thanks your your feedback. The first scenario is a normal thing, but the second one, it's something annoying that can happen. I'm looking for a good way to solve this :)
I finally managed to finish the game!! It's so amazing and it was such a rewarding feeling completing it, I can't wait for more content to be added to it! Amazing job making an amazing game :)
okey i died a few times im not goona lie but when you are prepared you speed run it but still i loved this game is amazing i hope you do more games with your talent or continue this one adding more things maybe another island? or something like that love you and i hope you have a wonderfull day !!!
What would the game be without the deer? It would just be walking around, finding the clown, and running inside. The deer adds so much to the game's ambiance. - Nattergerry
Honestly the deer is hated a lot but Imagine the game without the deer it would just be a walk around and run inside simulator the tense moments during the night as your trying to avoid it without seeing it honestly is a fun chilling experience
love the unease this game brings! Its artstyle is a mix of DST and Lobotomy Corporation, and the sounds are all so anxiety inducing. Can't wait to see what you do with this :)
WHERE DA GUNS AT MAKE A GUN OR BOWS I WANNA KILL EM THEY KEEP TREZZPASSIN MY PROPETEYYY AND THAT SHADOW FIGURE IS ANNOYIN HAOW YOU SLEEP I JUZ DOWNLOADED THIS 40 MINS AGO
Well you can't sleep. usually in the first night the clown appears with an note next to your door and we'll u find him take the balloon and find the sad clown to give balloon. For the shadow man stay out of house and the candles tell you if he coming btw they are beside the bed. All candles is like 55 seconds and 2 candles lit is 30 I think and one is 15 idk this is my estimated times
ok so ive been struggling with the wendigo for awhile its because it keeps going near my main crops so heres an idea..
Add a pet dog to the house to scare away the wendigo dear but in order to activate the dog it needs a bone if you wanna get a bone you have to hope the crow drops one somewhere on the farm
ive played for 30minutes and still cant get past my first night;{ i wish there was something that could tell us where the monster is and a monster log... everytime i hide from the weird burning monster the shadowy figure attacks me and i have no choice but to die from the running monster
i also wish for a scarecrow that would attract monsters to it since we have no way to defend ourselves
right now ive encounterd: weird running monster, shadow me , the clown snow man and shadow me in the well
i know that spending to much water is dangerous since it spawn him
shadow me is when im in the house for to long
running monster idk so please tell me or add the monster log
the clown i think when the music finish but please slow him down i didnt upgrade my shoes so that maybe why but im pretty sure he teleported and opened the door and killed me there is no way he spawn in the home
the longest ive lived is 10min and 52sec death source clown
im gonna write my wish list here:-
online co-op
traveling merchant
scarecrow
monster indicator
monster log
two monsters cant spawn on the same time{ ive only escaped once in my 3 plays}
monster that open the door and we have to hide in the closet
friendly monsters that protect us when given food or steal our crops without helping
the music change so i can know if its the clown music or not
end.
great game! ive never been more scared than this in my life! for a moment i thought i was in the game!
To get past the clown, about halfway through your first day, a note will appear on your door. Read it and follow its instructions. The first time, you'll encounter a tall clown with a balloon. Take the balloon; nothing will happen. When you hear it again, follow it to the sad clown. Give him the balloon. Also, if you hear the Judge Judy sound effect, it means the red-eyed creature is gone, so it's safe to go out. -nattergerry
I'm republishing to simply say that this game has real potential and I think everyone wants a full version of this game with new monsters, new objectives and new areas because this game is incredible (even if stags do exist 🤣 this game really deserves the perfect 10/10 score).
Id love to see this game expanded on, adding new areas/monsters honestly, you should try to get it in its current state on steam or something for like $5 i'm sure lots of people would love to play it and considering its average playtime is like 60 min i think $5 for the game is fair
incredible game. my only feedback is that the game is lack of monsters. ok, i accept the monsters that appear when you pull out too much water or you stay too much inside the home, but i really want more monsters. they could appear in a system of days. more days pass, more monsters appear, or more difficult are the monsters, with other patterns or other things. but overall a great game! you are so much talented
I was out to fuck everything, but it looks like I was the one that got fucked. Amazing game, but I need to work at it because I can't seem to figure out the patterns for some of them, so requires multiple playthroughs.
I had a blast playing the game. Honestly, I love the permadeath genre of games. Sure, it can be annoying, but games like DST are why I play video games. Thanks for the great game
I'll be sure to stick around and support you on your development journey. Yours truly Nattergerry.
Your welcome now have a question.What is your plans for the game at this moment like game features new monsters all that now, as I’m curious on what might be coming in the following weeks?
Ah, alright. No worries.I know the wait would be worth it. Also, what do you mean by 'new levels'? Will the boat be able to take you to other islands, like a town or something? As I would find that interesting.
Yes I would like if when you complete the boat you if takes u to menu but when you start again it's you on a boat to a harder island with some of same monsters but also new ones too. Love to see this idea and all ideas in the comments maybe expand into the full game on steam
Hello! Made an account to say this game is extremely awesome and I'm having a blast trying to speedrun it! I'm wondering though... do any of the characters have canon names? If not what do you call them during development? Would be awesome if you let me know!
PS: extremely excited for the Discord community server! :D
Well uhh the crow is gone for now and the music box is the clown which a note will be beside your door it will say follow the music when you here clown music make sure to follow it get the balloon and give to the other clown who also plays music if you don't it will appear beside you taking your life
seriously, though, your game has real potential. I hope you'll make a complete version with several worlds and other difficulties (INCREDIBLE THE GAME).
Yoooo I gotta be missing something, cause this game is f*cking terrifying! I am SCREAMING. Whats up with the house ghost??? I just want to hide from that skin walker. WHATS IN THE WELL??? WHO IS THAT. Can my crow friend please come back. 10/10
Though I have only played this game for about a day and so, it is very entertaining and bizarre! Love the art style, very similar to "Don't Starve". The music and sound effects are also very good! It's fair fetched but if you need any more music for the game, I'm a young composer/musician and this game is up my alley. It would be cool! Anywho, its a good game! Cant wait for a full thing!
Long comment, apologize but I just LOVE this game and its concept. Those chill farm games like stardew valley with the cross of horror is something I’ve never seen before, I think you are on the cusp of something genre-breaking and may even make a new subgenre. I really want to support you and I know as soon as I have some extra cash I’m going to donate with the hopes you can make this an actual full game, I know I would buy a full release for something like $20-25 CND (because I’m Canadian). First of all, the style and is genuinely pretty despite it being an obvious first draft of the game (Mean this positively). I think the whole texture of the solid colours being either a fabric or almost crayon look compliments the ‘cute’ aesthetic, which intentional or not I think could be extremely effective if played around with. But also, in a weird way I compare the style of the art in the same way the game Little Nightmares perfectly uses its style to further feature the game’s ‘feelings’. The art style gives the feeling of vertigo, like your about to fall over when standing over an edge or cliff. Being that everything is overgrown, morphed or disfigured in a way that feels like a child’s perception of the world- especially a scared child is so ingenious. So, with this game using it’s ‘cute’ and classic chill game vibes it creates such a harsh contrast with the horror aspect and highlights the potential scares in my opinion. And as someone who loves monsters, draws a lot of monsters, and would love to help create/build concept art, I think making the monster art jarringly realistic or in a different style could also be effective. At the moment I do have some critiques of how the monsters currently look, as when in game its effective to cause a scare I think theres a lot more that can be done. I’m not sure exactly which creatures you are using, I’m assuming it’s a notdear, Rake, and whatever the hell is the thing in the well- which I have a lot to say.
Starting with the Deer enemy, its hard to tell if you are going specifically for the entities of ‘Not Deer’ or of a Wendigo. As Wendigos are closer to the depiction of when you get too close to the deer enemy in game, only problem is that in the culture/folk lore of the Indigenous people, or at least to my knowledge, they don’t really try to disguise themselves. Wendigo’s are more hunters, they’re stalk and follow their prey before attacking but not try to fool them in the same way ‘Not Deer’ do. It might be too much work but potentially you could eventually separate this enemy into two different versions, one as the ‘Not Deer’ and the other as a Wendigo. I’m not as familiar with ‘Not Deer’ but from what I understand is that they are preditors that hind themselves as deer, just they’re all wrong. Walk weird, occasionally have some form of deformation like wolf eyes, or eyes recentered to be front facings, sickly and frail with odd behaviour, just a few examples. But for the game it would be interesting to see different ‘versions’ of this enemy spawn with slight variation of behavour, could also add to the game play loop as I found once I understood all the entities it was easy to survive. But for example, some ‘Not Deers’ could be more ‘aggressive’ in how they approach you but also have more obvious signs they’re not a deer. Which makes them easier to notice and deal with but if caught off guard quicker to get attacked, throw in events of normal deer grazing and even maybe eating your crops and it’ll encourage players to chase off the deer. Which if it’s a ‘Not Deer’ then acts as a jump scare when the thing grows teeth and eats them, or morphs and disfigured into something more monstrous. Then other ‘Not Deers’ can be more subtle like for example the eyes being distorted in some way, they hover around your farm and try to slowly approach you to then attack. Which if you have deer constantly around almost waiting for you to leave so they can eat your crops I can imagine how someone could be caught off guard or even ignoring the entity mistaking it as another deer.
Then for the Rake or whatever is the pale naked thing that chases you, I think its pretty good but little changes would make it more threatening. Being that the game is so small I understand introducing the enemies so quickly but I can’t help but wonder what kind of build up could be done in a full game, especially if you market the game as a ‘normal farming game :)’. Like for the first 3-5 days its just you farming but slowly you start to hear weird sounds in the forest at night, its vaguely human. But it grows more frequent to not only just at night, then have eyes looking at you when its dark from the forest and boom you got people terrified. I feel this would be especially good if you have that weird reflective glare that animals have when at night, were its almost that glassy green colour. Anyways, point is that giving the Rake more ‘stalking’ behavior or even times where it’ll come out when you don’t expect can cause more chaos and threat to it. While I find all the monsters super well choreographed, in terms of sound queues, there’s a certain balance where you want them to be understandable but also unpredictable to make them feel like a fair threat. One example I have is that maybe you leave ‘offering’ to these entities to try and reduce the amount they’ll attack you in order to deal with them, the longer you don’t appease them the more they’re try to attack or hell maybe even sabotage you. Maybe the rake is smart enough to start tampering with your tools, or leave certain things the player values out close to the fence by the forest. Somewhere it’ll be much easier for it to grab you when it wants, maybe it takes advantage of the fact you can’t see well in the dark and use sounds to corral you to a corner. These are all just suggestions I have no idea how you would implement if you do.
About the monsters, I have based on the appearance of some popular creatures, but their behaviors on the game are not based on the respective behaviors of the real monsters.
Really like the game, so much fun and the artstyle is a 10/10. My only complaint is the deer. It's kinda annoying if you keep dying because you run into the deer when you need to run back to the house. Or is there a way to make the deer go away after a while that I don't know off. Other than that it's a great game, just kinda annoying if the deer is constantly there.
Unfortunately no way I know of. It seems to prefer hanging around the middle field and doesn't venture to the sides, though if given the chance it will follow you onto the dock.
I managed to win by essentially running in circles around the farm and using all four keys so I could slip through to the opposite side. If you manage to 'aggro' the deer, it does settle after a certain amount of time. I don't know exactly how long it takes, unfortunately.
You can throw it off by being inside and stepping close to the door, just enough to open the door. The deer will become aggressive, but it will run off in some other direction because you're inside.
Love this game to death. Couldnt put it down. I do hope a survival mode gets added for replayability, maybe with increasing difficulty some kind of hunger mecanic? Either way, scared me shitless and was super fun!
Do you have a set of headphones because I have no trouble personally, I know that if I don't have my headset on or there's background noise I can't find him at all.
I mean this as a great threat, i have done no other research nor shall I, you are the first person I've seen post anything about a speedrun. I will beat your time
Loved it. Still had some issue tho. Felt really crappy to lose to a deer because he decided to eat some grass in front of the doorway and I stuck inside because of it.

It's a nice game and it did a nice job raising the creep factor. I kinda wish there was another monster that harassed the player as they ran to the house.

I'm glad you liked the game! Thank you so much for playing it!
Don't mention it! It was honor to play your game! ^^
this was a great play, hopefully we get some kinda expanded version in the future for a more long term playthrough, would love to sink my teeth into a more developed version later
dev does have plans for a update in a few months or weeks I donno as I didn’t learn how to count past 4
Hii! I just got the game so this is kinda just my questions as of now.. maybe I'll add more later when i get further in
Is there a way to stop the shadow figure from spawning in? do i relight the candles? can it leave the house?
how do i know when the skinwalker is coming? i believe its a violin sound effect, but i just wanna be sure :)
For the candle issue just leave the house after awhile, if the deer is camping just trigger it and run inside. for the skinwalker you should start hearing a violin sound when it’s gone you hear a judge judy sound effect.
Thank you very very much! This'll be really helpful.
another quick question, how long does the day/night cycle last?
around 2 windigo attacks so if you get attacked your half on time just from what I’ve gathered not 100% accurate but it helps keep management of your time and oil which each attack is anywhere from 3 - 6 minutes from my gusss
hey man, as far as ive personally figured the 3 candles in the house go out over time if you stay to long but just going outside for a little will reset them, even if a skinwalker is outside you can dip in and out to at least slow down the candle progression (if the shadow does spawn i dont think you can get rid of it i think its just now a new thing to keep track of in your run,

I'm going to try speed running not steaming or anything just gonna and I'll try the tips
I wonder if I will make it
In under 45 mins. (That was meant to be a sentence my auto correct is annoying)
Warning ⚠️ Considerably long comment. This game is amazing. at first I didn't understand anything like shadow me which I know with candles. The water well man which is for too much water and the clowns which are soooooooo creepy. And of course the wendigo and skinwalkers (fire running man is the wendigo I think and the deer for skinwalker) the deer is kinda annoying I died when they went on the clown so I couldn't get balloon and was too far even with Max speed to get to the house so I died to that. And the deer AGAIN frickin went on the crops that give the most (which was my priority) and took me forever to get the boat. But this game was amazing and I hope more things are added in the future.

If you read this all of if you skipped half or all this is the end of this comment
For the few first times you where on about a monster log I thought you where on about a monster in a log lol.
Yeah it's confusing
Just kinda how short circuited my brain is, as it is powered by a random man running on a hamster wheel.
Thank you so much for all your feedback and ideas, it helps me a lot!
no problem I love helping developer's with ideas
Could you make new game modes? Like an easy mode and you could save in easy mode or an nightmare mode where it's always dark and monsters appear faster. This is just a suggestion.
Imagine a nightmare mode. The game's already tough, but it's a great idea, and I hope it goes far.
Personally, I'm trying to share it as much as possible.
would make the game more enjoyable for tryhards like myself. I always relish a good challenge when it comes to games. - nattergerry
Yeah I think I hear something about this game going on steam so if the dev saw this then maybe they will put an update for itch and put it in steam?
Yea, also heard some stuff about a discord server in awhile.
Nice
Is An Android Port Possible?
Not for the moment, but maybe a future thing.
I just beat the game today, and it was a blast. I would recommend it to people. Thanks for reading! - nattergerry
nice
Thanks now.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you loved it :)
hmmmm
Add Gunz they keep trezzpassin my farm
Uh maybe find/create a mod for it? If you have the power too
THERE ARE MODS WHERE HOW AND HOW TO CREATE I WANT A NUKE BUTTON
Idk if there is mods but you should find them / create them if you try hard enough
It would be interesting hahaha.
Yes I would love to bazooka the deer.
Wouldn’t we all lol
Sticks are used for the fishing rod, which can be made down south past the well. Once that is done, you can use them for money to upgrade your tools at the sawmill next to your house. There isn’t a log monster, even tho I would find that interesting and the clown just follow its music get the ballon and give it to the other clown and you’d be safe. -nattergerry
Omg thank u so much , but one time i took too much water and something teleported in ma house it was like in the well? but thx!
Your welcome. If you have any other questions, just ask. The thing in the house appears when all the candles go out.
Thx I didn't notice the candles lol
I don't blame you, lol. I didn't notice them either for my first few hours.
Finally beat the game!
Not sure if I'd call these bugs but...
1) In my final run, the deer decided to stop and do its grazing animation right at my door (instead of touching the door and wandering away like usual).
I had to trigger it, run back inside, then avoid my shadow as the last candlestick went out (I had already been waiting for the violin creature)
2) In another round, I lost because by the time I found the blue clown, the deer had moved right on top of it. I feel like that scenario is a frustrating lose/lose - because wait too long for the deer to move away and the clown gets you, but if you trigger the deer, you're too far from the cabin to escape.
Thanks your your feedback. The first scenario is a normal thing, but the second one, it's something annoying that can happen. I'm looking for a good way to solve this :)
I finally managed to finish the game!! It's so amazing and it was such a rewarding feeling completing it, I can't wait for more content to be added to it! Amazing job making an amazing game :)
Goodjob! Thank you so much for your nice words :)
German Gameplay on my Channel :D
Thank you so much for playing it!
no problem :) i hope you liked it
One of the best games I've played lately
EXCELLENT GAME!!
Thank you so much for your walkthrough, and I'm glad you liked the game :)
okey i died a few times im not goona lie but when you are prepared you speed run it but still i loved this game is amazing i hope you do more games with your talent or continue this one adding more things maybe another island? or something like that love you and i hope you have a wonderfull day !!!
Thank you so much! I'm working on a new island :)
no sabia que eran españoles godd! muy buen juego! estoy esperando esa isla con muchas ansias los quiero muchoo!! y muchisima suerte !
I love the fish on the wall and then the guitar randomly which gave me a jumpscare
The deer is annoying
What would the game be without the deer? It would just be walking around, finding the clown, and running inside. The deer adds so much to the game's ambiance. - Nattergerry
Yes the deer is my pain and my will to live aswell
Adds sort of pacman aspect while also not
Honestly the deer is hated a lot but Imagine the game without the deer it would just be a walk around and run inside simulator the tense moments during the night as your trying to avoid it without seeing it honestly is a fun chilling experience
yes nights with the deer are what makes this game MWAH Perfection you have to be careful with every step
Yes, the deer is a necessary evil hahaha.
love the unease this game brings! Its artstyle is a mix of DST and Lobotomy Corporation, and the sounds are all so anxiety inducing. Can't wait to see what you do with this :)
I agree, the ambiance is what brings the game together. The little events that don't happen often add a layer of unease. - Nattergerry
Really thanks :)
Thank you so much!
WHERE DA GUNS AT MAKE A GUN OR BOWS I WANNA KILL EM THEY KEEP TREZZPASSIN MY PROPETEYYY AND THAT SHADOW FIGURE IS ANNOYIN HAOW YOU SLEEP I JUZ DOWNLOADED THIS 40 MINS AGO
Well you can't sleep. usually in the first night the clown appears with an note next to your door and we'll u find him take the balloon and find the sad clown to give balloon. For the shadow man stay out of house and the candles tell you if he coming btw they are beside the bed. All candles is like 55 seconds and 2 candles lit is 30 I think and one is 15 idk this is my estimated times
Hey! The player is not able to use guns!
WELL THEY BETTER ADD GUNZ

ok so ive been struggling with the wendigo for awhile its because it keeps going near my main crops so heres an idea..
Add a pet dog to the house to scare away the wendigo dear but in order to activate the dog it needs a bone if you wanna get a bone you have to hope the crow drops one somewhere on the farm
just an idea
Thanks for your feedback and your idea!
ive played for 30minutes and still cant get past my first night;{ i wish there was something that could tell us where the monster is and a monster log... everytime i hide from the weird burning monster the shadowy figure attacks me and i have no choice but to die from the running monster
i also wish for a scarecrow that would attract monsters to it since we have no way to defend ourselves
right now ive encounterd: weird running monster, shadow me , the clown snow man and shadow me in the well
i know that spending to much water is dangerous since it spawn him
shadow me is when im in the house for to long
running monster idk so please tell me or add the monster log
the clown i think when the music finish but please slow him down i didnt upgrade my shoes so that maybe why but im pretty sure he teleported and opened the door and killed me there is no way he spawn in the home
the longest ive lived is 10min and 52sec death source clown
im gonna write my wish list here:-
online co-op
traveling merchant
scarecrow
monster indicator
monster log
two monsters cant spawn on the same time{ ive only escaped once in my 3 plays}
monster that open the door and we have to hide in the closet
friendly monsters that protect us when given food or steal our crops without helping
the music change so i can know if its the clown music or not
end.
great game! ive never been more scared than this in my life! for a moment i thought i was in the game!
To get past the clown, about halfway through your first day, a note will appear on your door. Read it and follow its instructions. The first time, you'll encounter a tall clown with a balloon. Take the balloon; nothing will happen. When you hear it again, follow it to the sad clown. Give him the balloon. Also, if you hear the Judge Judy sound effect, it means the red-eyed creature is gone, so it's safe to go out. -nattergerry
Thank you so much for all your feedback. And thanks to nattergerry for your help comment!
I'm republishing to simply say that this game has real potential and I think everyone wants a full version of this game with new monsters, new objectives and new areas because this game is incredible (even if stags do exist 🤣 this game really deserves the perfect 10/10 score).
Thank you so much! Next level will be available in a few months :)
Id love to see this game expanded on, adding new areas/monsters honestly, you should try to get it in its current state on steam or something for like $5 i'm sure lots of people would love to play it and considering its average playtime is like 60 min i think $5 for the game is fair
The game will be available on Steam soon. Probably making the Steam page next month so people can add it to wishlist
incredible game. my only feedback is that the game is lack of monsters. ok, i accept the monsters that appear when you pull out too much water or you stay too much inside the home, but i really want more monsters. they could appear in a system of days. more days pass, more monsters appear, or more difficult are the monsters, with other patterns or other things. but overall a great game! you are so much talented
Thank you so much! I think more monsters can be to much! I'm working on new levels with brand new monsters.
a suggestion is that the Wendigo (in it's deer form) might eat your crops but overall fantastic game.
Thank you so much and thanks for the ideas <3
I was out to fuck everything, but it looks like I was the one that got fucked.
Amazing game, but I need to work at it because I can't seem to figure out the patterns for some of them, so requires multiple playthroughs.
Thanks for your feedback!
I had a blast playing the game. Honestly, I love the permadeath genre of games. Sure, it can be annoying, but games like DST are why I play video games. Thanks for the great game
I'll be sure to stick around and support you on your development journey. Yours truly Nattergerry.
Thank you! I'm glad you like so much the game! <3
Your welcome now have a question.What is your plans for the game at this moment like game features new monsters all that now, as I’m curious on what might be coming in the following weeks?
I'm expanding the game. Now working on new levels with new monsters and bigger map. It takes time, maybe a few months as I am a solo developer.
Ah, alright. No worries.I know the wait would be worth it. Also, what do you mean by 'new levels'? Will the boat be able to take you to other islands, like a town or something? As I would find that interesting.
Yes I would like if when you complete the boat you if takes u to menu but when you start again it's you on a boat to a harder island with some of same monsters but also new ones too. Love to see this idea and all ideas in the comments maybe expand into the full game on steam
Hello! Made an account to say this game is extremely awesome and I'm having a blast trying to speedrun it! I'm wondering though... do any of the characters have canon names? If not what do you call them during development? Would be awesome if you let me know!
PS: extremely excited for the Discord community server! :D
Thank you so much!
Monsters have no official names right now. People just call them Skinwalker, Wendigo, Clowns and Shadow
I saw this from a random video in YT and I thought it was a NORMAL farming sim.
MUDAFAKA! CROW COME BACK!! WHY DID YOU LEAVE?!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT MUSIC BOX MUSIC?!
WHY DID IT ENTER THE HOUSE!!!!
10/10 suggesting to friends
Thanks for sharing the game, it really helps! :)
Well uhh the crow is gone for now and the music box is the clown which a note will be beside your door it will say follow the music when you here clown music make sure to follow it get the balloon and give to the other clown who also plays music if you don't it will appear beside you taking your life
Despite the existence of deer I give a score of 8/10
(the remaining 2 points are in this son of a bitch deer) :)
Thank you for your feedback.
seriously, though, your game has real potential. I hope you'll make a complete version with several worlds and other difficulties (INCREDIBLE THE GAME).
its very cozy and comforting! i LOVE the #FallVibes
Thanks!
Yoooo I gotta be missing something, cause this game is f*cking terrifying! I am SCREAMING. Whats up with the house ghost??? I just want to hide from that skin walker. WHATS IN THE WELL??? WHO IS THAT. Can my crow friend please come back. 10/10
MOST REAL REVEIW EVER
Thank you so much 😂😂😂
Can't lie I came for the comfy graphics and stayed to hate deer. 10/10
Can't wait for more, I wish there were more games mixing genres like this, amazing.
Thanks!! I'm so glad of your words <3
Though I have only played this game for about a day and so, it is very entertaining and bizarre! Love the art style, very similar to "Don't Starve". The music and sound effects are also very good! It's fair fetched but if you need any more music for the game, I'm a young composer/musician and this game is up my alley. It would be cool! Anywho, its a good game! Cant wait for a full thing!
Thank you so much! I'm not looking for any composer right now :(
Long comment, apologize but I just LOVE this game and its concept. Those chill farm games like stardew valley with the cross of horror is something I’ve never seen before, I think you are on the cusp of something genre-breaking and may even make a new subgenre. I really want to support you and I know as soon as I have some extra cash I’m going to donate with the hopes you can make this an actual full game, I know I would buy a full release for something like $20-25 CND (because I’m Canadian). First of all, the style and is genuinely pretty despite it being an obvious first draft of the game (Mean this positively). I think the whole texture of the solid colours being either a fabric or almost crayon look compliments the ‘cute’ aesthetic, which intentional or not I think could be extremely effective if played around with. But also, in a weird way I compare the style of the art in the same way the game Little Nightmares perfectly uses its style to further feature the game’s ‘feelings’. The art style gives the feeling of vertigo, like your about to fall over when standing over an edge or cliff. Being that everything is overgrown, morphed or disfigured in a way that feels like a child’s perception of the world- especially a scared child is so ingenious. So, with this game using it’s ‘cute’ and classic chill game vibes it creates such a harsh contrast with the horror aspect and highlights the potential scares in my opinion. And as someone who loves monsters, draws a lot of monsters, and would love to help create/build concept art, I think making the monster art jarringly realistic or in a different style could also be effective. At the moment I do have some critiques of how the monsters currently look, as when in game its effective to cause a scare I think theres a lot more that can be done. I’m not sure exactly which creatures you are using, I’m assuming it’s a notdear, Rake, and whatever the hell is the thing in the well- which I have a lot to say.
Starting with the Deer enemy, its hard to tell if you are going specifically for the entities of ‘Not Deer’ or of a Wendigo. As Wendigos are closer to the depiction of when you get too close to the deer enemy in game, only problem is that in the culture/folk lore of the Indigenous people, or at least to my knowledge, they don’t really try to disguise themselves. Wendigo’s are more hunters, they’re stalk and follow their prey before attacking but not try to fool them in the same way ‘Not Deer’ do. It might be too much work but potentially you could eventually separate this enemy into two different versions, one as the ‘Not Deer’ and the other as a Wendigo. I’m not as familiar with ‘Not Deer’ but from what I understand is that they are preditors that hind themselves as deer, just they’re all wrong. Walk weird, occasionally have some form of deformation like wolf eyes, or eyes recentered to be front facings, sickly and frail with odd behaviour, just a few examples. But for the game it would be interesting to see different ‘versions’ of this enemy spawn with slight variation of behavour, could also add to the game play loop as I found once I understood all the entities it was easy to survive. But for example, some ‘Not Deers’ could be more ‘aggressive’ in how they approach you but also have more obvious signs they’re not a deer. Which makes them easier to notice and deal with but if caught off guard quicker to get attacked, throw in events of normal deer grazing and even maybe eating your crops and it’ll encourage players to chase off the deer. Which if it’s a ‘Not Deer’ then acts as a jump scare when the thing grows teeth and eats them, or morphs and disfigured into something more monstrous. Then other ‘Not Deers’ can be more subtle like for example the eyes being distorted in some way, they hover around your farm and try to slowly approach you to then attack. Which if you have deer constantly around almost waiting for you to leave so they can eat your crops I can imagine how someone could be caught off guard or even ignoring the entity mistaking it as another deer.
Then for the Rake or whatever is the pale naked thing that chases you, I think its pretty good but little changes would make it more threatening. Being that the game is so small I understand introducing the enemies so quickly but I can’t help but wonder what kind of build up could be done in a full game, especially if you market the game as a ‘normal farming game :)’. Like for the first 3-5 days its just you farming but slowly you start to hear weird sounds in the forest at night, its vaguely human. But it grows more frequent to not only just at night, then have eyes looking at you when its dark from the forest and boom you got people terrified. I feel this would be especially good if you have that weird reflective glare that animals have when at night, were its almost that glassy green colour. Anyways, point is that giving the Rake more ‘stalking’ behavior or even times where it’ll come out when you don’t expect can cause more chaos and threat to it. While I find all the monsters super well choreographed, in terms of sound queues, there’s a certain balance where you want them to be understandable but also unpredictable to make them feel like a fair threat. One example I have is that maybe you leave ‘offering’ to these entities to try and reduce the amount they’ll attack you in order to deal with them, the longer you don’t appease them the more they’re try to attack or hell maybe even sabotage you. Maybe the rake is smart enough to start tampering with your tools, or leave certain things the player values out close to the fence by the forest. Somewhere it’ll be much easier for it to grab you when it wants, maybe it takes advantage of the fact you can’t see well in the dark and use sounds to corral you to a corner. These are all just suggestions I have no idea how you would implement if you do.
Thank you so much for all your feedback!
About the monsters, I have based on the appearance of some popular creatures, but their behaviors on the game are not based on the respective behaviors of the real monsters.
Really like the game, so much fun and the artstyle is a 10/10. My only complaint is the deer. It's kinda annoying if you keep dying because you run into the deer when you need to run back to the house. Or is there a way to make the deer go away after a while that I don't know off. Other than that it's a great game, just kinda annoying if the deer is constantly there.
the deer makes the whole game 3/10 shittz game
Unfortunately no way I know of. It seems to prefer hanging around the middle field and doesn't venture to the sides, though if given the chance it will follow you onto the dock.
I managed to win by essentially running in circles around the farm and using all four keys so I could slip through to the opposite side. If you manage to 'aggro' the deer, it does settle after a certain amount of time. I don't know exactly how long it takes, unfortunately.
You can throw it off by being inside and stepping close to the door, just enough to open the door. The deer will become aggressive, but it will run off in some other direction because you're inside.
Thank you for your feedback! It really helps.
Love this game to death. Couldnt put it down. I do hope a survival mode gets added for replayability, maybe with increasing difficulty some kind of hunger mecanic? Either way, scared me shitless and was super fun!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words :)
this game would actually be fund and good, but the clown ruins everything. Try to do something with the music please, i cant find him in time.
Do you have a set of headphones because I have no trouble personally, I know that if I don't have my headset on or there's background noise I can't find him at all.
I'm planning on updating the clowns to make it easier to find speacially if you're not wearing headphones.
(231) pumpkin panic speedrun (29:11) - YouTube there was no in game audio but i just wanted to post smth here
Thanks so much for your video!
I mean this as a great threat, i have done no other research nor shall I, you are the first person I've seen post anything about a speedrun. I will beat your time
Hey, I was wondering if you could post the main menu theme on spotify? Its super good! And I want to listen to it on there, if not I understand!
Hey! The song is not mine, you can find the original author here.
Loved it. Still had some issue tho. Felt really crappy to lose to a deer because he decided to eat some grass in front of the doorway and I stuck inside because of it.
Thank you so much! I little tip: You can trigger the deer and hide quickly again inside the house, he will run away :)
