Nothing can go wrong when you own a convenient store and the killer is after you - solid slasher! 

I loved the somewhat unique approach to the story and the "Puppet-Combo" like overlays, mechanics, really good stuff. I really enjoyed my time and couple of sequences got me good. I wish it was longer and had more story, but overall - highly recommend this. 

Best of luck with the future games! 

Outstanding work with story, visuals, the ritual sequence, yet I did anticipate something more. 

Once a wise man sad - I hate my boss - and it went on like that forever. I genuinely liked the gameplay, the characters, the overall vibe. This was a decent horror, highly recommend to all. 

Best of luck with the future projects Legend! 

Ayo. Congratulations on the Steam release! Good luck man!

First 🥇!! I can't wait to play this!! Will be posting the review!

Thanks many times for playing and showcasing the game on your channel, I really appreciate that. All the best to you and your channel!

Well, you can't. I tried many times and maybe there will be a video proof of someone making it. When the AI moves from the begging it is easy to reach corner one, then the second corner you have to move once they move as well and that's somewhat easy to reach too, but the third one is impossible.
And, besides that, this is a game jam project. It is not meant to be mastered, rather it is meant to be entered, felt, and finished. Difficulty breaks mood and the following frustration kills tension. Trust me, someone who has made over 50 projects over the course of 6 years and who has been part of game jams, the golden game jam rule is - Low skill floor, short runtime, strong aftertaste.
Edit: Good luck, once again. 

Game Jam projects are always difficult to make, because many factors contribute to the game not being fully fleshed out or properly working - this one is an example. 

Interesting premise, but sadly unplayable. The game is not well optimized and during the hallway sequence you can't run. I'm not sure you are supposed to, but is definitely says "run" and you can't. 

Good luck with the game jam and I hope this gets fixed with the potential full release.  

A tension inducing, escape room type of horror with an exceptional atmosphere - decent game! 

I'm a huge fan of "Russian Sleep Experiment" stories and I assume this is based on one. The overall look was great, the sound design, mechanics - simple, immersive. I genuinely appreciated the part where you had to use the screwdriver and the ladder. Overall - solid horror, highly recommend this! 

Best of luck with the future games! 

 

Truly an emotional ride with hilarious sequences, heartfelt ending and deep meaning - solid game. 

To be frank, the game wasn't my cup of tea. That doesn't mean it was bad. The overall look of the game and the story was superb. I loved the sequences with the character, mostly the dramatic ones and the backstory of why the character was afraid of darkness. 

The game touches on serious subject and I just felt like the humor element wasn't doing it. Like I said, not my vibe with the whole ghosts and using flashlight and some corny cut scenes - those were not good, for me. 

Otherwise, it was good.
Best of luck with the future games!

A bit conflicted on this one - impressive demo, intuitive idea about the story and core mechanics, but the flashing lights aspect has to be removed - permanently. 

As someone, who is actually an active worker at an insurance company, I completely felt the stress of this game. I work as general specialist in contact center and the game was truly unsettling. I liked the build up with the boss, the dimly lit office and some of the chats were actually very realistic. 

Sadly, the game has 2 major flaws in the design - sound and flashing lights. The sound is absorbedly loud and unnecessary. Sometimes, the horror hides in silence - you could use the buzzing of the lights, maybe the monitor and PC sounds, instead there is this loop of some heavy horror themed music, which broke the immersion. That part can be easily fixed, but the other issue was truly problematic and I can't stress this enough - during the chats, there is a flashing of red light (which I assume was meant to create tension) - it made my eyes and head ache like never before. Please, just remove that completely from the game (again, this is my subjective criticism, but it really, physically affected my body and I don't doubt someone else will have the same experience). 

Overall, I do recommend this, but players should be aware for that specific, mind twisting flashing lights, that might cause harm. 
Good luck. 
Edit: Also, please put the warning in the description. The use of flashing lights is very heavy, unlike other games, where it might be utilized as a jump scare, here it lasts over the period of the character using chatting system. 

Huge thanks for playing the game and posting such a great video. I'm glad you liked this. Best to you! 

Huge thanks for playing the game and supporting my work! I really appreciate the feedback and the video. Best to you! 

Science fiction never disappoints! 
Awesome video, fantastic commentary, thanks a ton for playing man and for supporting my work. Cheers! 

What a nice comment!
Thanks many times for playing my game and sharing your thoughts, it really means a lot. I hope to improve and bring something spooky next time. 
Cheers 🍻

Huge thanks for playing, showcasing and supporting my game! I loved the playthrough and commentary. Wish all the best to you and your channel! 

Massive thanks for playing, supporting and showcasing my game man! You rock! Your channel and your comments have been nothing but a blessing, honestly. 
Yes, I do realize now the "hitbox" collision didn't work properly, for some. I'll note that for the next game and maybe switch to the regular LMB hit. 
Best to you mate ⭐

Big thanks for playing and supporting my game friend!
The suggestions and feedback will be noted, it's the best thing you can do for me. Appreciate the comments. Cheers! 

Bunch of thanks for playing and supporting my work! It really means a lot to me. All the best to you Gzanarko!

The game delivers solid concept, unsettling atmosphere, unique mechanics, yet it fails at telling you one MAJOR detail. 

As someone, who has played thousands of horror games, in general I do have an idea of gameplay mechanics - you clean up, you restore, you move on. The game does an excellent job at showing you how to navigate with the camera, how to take pictures, how to print them out, how to use the envelope, further in the game it shows you how to develop a photo as well...BUT...I don't understand why the game fails to either explain or remind the player that they HAVE TO buy papers and envelopes. 

If you watch my playthrough, you will see that there was no indication (IN THE GAME) about the restocking. Sure, the game's page provides some information about it, but never addresses is as the main, critical aspect of the demo. Understanding this is not a full game, I'm glad there is time to fix the issue and give players proper explanation on the major mechanics. 

Best of luck with this, I loved everything asides that MAJOR problem. 

A well polished slasher flick with a potential to become series - excellent work! 

I'm a huge fan of "Halloween" type slashers and intimidating killers. I've to say you nailed the atmosphere, sound design and characters. For some reason, the main character Mia felt 3 dimensional, given just 1 simple scene. As far as the beginning of the game - classic horror approach. Overall - highly recommend this! 

Best of luck with the future games! 

Thanks once again for playing and supporting my work! I appreciate the comments and the showcase. Wish all the best to you mate! 

Finally I can see your comment lol! 
Thousands of thanks for sharing the video and telling me about the issue with comments. I deeply appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you liked this. 
Best to you mate! 

Many thanks for playing and showcasing the game on your channel, it really means a lot to me. Wish all the best to you!

Thanks a lot for playing! I'm glad you liked this, even thou the story was a bit depressive. I plan on making something serious to this, darker and more psychological soon. 
Appreciate the feedback. Best to you! 

The sheer amount of quality in this demo is indescribable - the best demo of 2026 so far! 

I'll be honest, I thought the game was fully released on accident, because after 30 minutes the game just kept on going. I was wrong, of course. This was a surprisingly long and meaty demo. Not to mention, I loved every single second of it, high tension, really impressive mechanics and the combination of investigating and serving food - ingenious. 

With all that said, I do think with the full release, the game could use some ambience, subtle noises, jump scares, but nothing too loud or obnoxious, rather serving the tone of the game. You might put some knockings on the door or maybe someone trying to reach from the counter in the game and let the customers be more hostile. 

Overall - I can't wait for this! Already have on my wishlist 🤞🏻! Best of luck with the full release! 

A brother in need is a brother indeed - what a solid demo! 

I mentioned this in the video as well, but I have to write this here - I played the demo for your first game 5 years ago, I was the first one to comment on that game and I can't believe its been 5 years! Now, you or/and your development team are thriving! 

The immersion level in this is super high! Voice acting, cut scenes, visuals, sound design - all top notch! I can't wait for the full release and more episodes! No complaints, whatsoever. 

Best of luck and cheers to the future ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks a lot, so many times for playing, supporting and cheering for my games, I deeply appreciate that. All the best to you

Thanks many times for playing and sharing your video! I loved the playthrough and the new logo, hell yeah! 
Best to you! 

Huge thanks for playing and checking out the demo! 
Yes, it was nothing big, but I decided to put it out as the script and some mechanics were already finished, so why not. 
Best to you as always mate! 

Thanks again and again for playing and supporting my game! It means a lot to me. This was a demo, so I didn't put too much thought into it at first, but there were definitely some secrets to hide.
Wish all the best to you friend!

Bunch of thanks for playing and trying out the game. This was made for a game jam, on short notice, it didn't have much, but I'm glad you liked it. 
Best to you friend! 

Tons of thanks for playing and giving an honest feedback. I can totally agree that the first half of the game deals with the actual gameplay and second part is more like - looking around collecting things. I will note that for the future games for sure. 
Thanks again and best to you! 

It's okay if you didn't survive, you can always try again lol! 
Thanks a bunch for trying this one out. I'm glad you enjoyed the concept and overall gameplay. Best to you again Amigo!
