I REALLY enjoyed the atmosphere in this game. It's an absolute nightmare for claustrophobic people and an absolute treat for those wanting to enjoy a new horror experience.
Thanks for the game,

I really enjoyed this horror game. EMIKA_GAMES is always pumping out bangers, as my first introduction to their catalogue was Summer of '58. So I knew I was in for a treat with this new release. The atmosphere in this one was really intense, and I absolutely LOVED the story and how detailed it is. I was looking forward to a new horror game, and this one did NOT disappoint.

I really, really enjoyed this game. This demo/ prologue is a great introduction to the full game. A couple things I did note down were: Some audio levels are a tad too loud (kitchen + 2nd bathroom scene). Also, I did think the visitor monster design was a little too Slenderman-esque. Would've loved a different monster model or even a shadow man would do. Other than that, I can't wait for the full release to come!

Hands down of the best horror games to start of 2024. It's a very well-made horror game that has tense moments, the feeling of a table-top game, and has HUGE potential to have an online multiplayer mode (A lot of ppl in the comments agree). Here's my playthrough of it; I had a blast >:)
Thank you for the game,

This demo is REALLY dope and I especially loved the cinematics and concept of it all. The game got down to the 'shoot-em-up' style, and I'm all for it. I really liked how the inaccuracy of the blaster are as well. However, there were some minor things such as: Lasers going through mobs (no dmg), mobs getting stuck on doors, and just how repetitive it is (since the mobs only spawn at 2 directions).
It'd be cool if there was a type of loot system with health, speed/ armor boosters (aka drugs), and a variety of weapons we can use/ switch to. Sorta like the systems used in The Last of Us, RE, or Dead Space in making the game more immersive and fun. Even changing the speeds of the enemies and them sprinting at us could've been a nice detail.
Overall, a dope concept and hoping this project continues strong! Really appreciated

I didn't think that I'd stumble upon an indie horror game adapting one of the BEST Creepypastas out there. If you're a fan of The Russian Sleep Experiment or wanting to play a new indie horror game, this game is for you.
I really did enjoy the overall pacing of the game and the afterstory of what 'could've been' as a result of the experiment. The VAs did PHENOMENAL here, and the tape recorders + text intros added good flare, creating this atmosphere of seclusion and abandon. The monster reveal and animations really did do the Creepypasta justice as well.
Overall, a 10/10 for me on this game. I really had fun during my playthrough as well.

For a game originally made for a school project, this one goes HARD! I really enjoyed this game, especially with its ultra-realistic graphics, audio, and setting. Going through the abandoned house, I wanted to know more about the place, the people who lived there, and the lore behind its abandonment as well. Nevertheless, well done!

I honestly really liked the game and the story behind it was dope af. Reminds me of those horror stories on r/nosleep about people being blackmailed online and forced to do dark things.
I feel as if the ending wasn't the strongest execution when it came to the overall tone and atmosphere of the game. However, for Scream Jam 2023, you had one of the best game developed in the timeframe allowed. Overall, a dope game.

The Demo wasn't bad, but it also wasn't too scary either. This game has a lot of potential but needs a little more work based on the demo.
A couple notes I took down: An item indicator or highlight would be ideal in this scenario. Inventory scrolling and right-click item usage seems a little too much work and clunky. Maybe a new inventory system with easier selection or holding an item (for ex. a key) and having it be "auto-used" on the nearby door/ lock will make this user-friendly for players. For items that cannont be used, maybe a line of dialogue like "I can't use this here" would help, too. I've scrolled down the comment section and others can agree that the inventory can be hard to use.
The demo seemed more like a 'puzzle simulator' rather than a bodycam horror game, that i completely forgot the game had a doll in it based on its trailer. when I got to the doll part, it didn't add much to the overall experience since the demo was mostly puzzles and the doll (aka the 'monster reveal') didn't appear til the last 1-2 minutes of gameplay. Demos need to be able to flush out a little exposition for the full story or hype up the game. The Demo kind of did neither. It's to a point where some of the comments had people 'stop' or 'give up' since gameplay difficulty was a little too high/ not user-friendly. Overall, I believe the game needs a little less puzzle and more scare to hype up its full release for the future. A Demo Version 2 or 2nd part, and peoples' responses to that, can probably dictate whether or not a full release of this game is ready.
Definitely wouldn't rush the development if I were you—the monster design, environment and graphics are wonderful. I believe this game has HUGE potential—it just needs more work to bring it to life.

For your 1st game published, very well done! I really enjoyed the experience, especially some of the frights and jumpscares.
A few notes: I feel like the volume of the music from the turn table can be adjusted to be a tad louder. Hell, it can even echo throughout the hallway and rooms to give a more dramatic and horror-inducing effect. Some of the shadows we first meet in the rooms go away a little too fast. They can linger for a couple seconds more (with some sound effects to accompany it). I like the idea of the chase scene and the almost-endless feeling hallway. I wish that we didn't see the model pause if we failed the chase scene, and we restarted the level right before the TV throw so we can have the shadow man chase us coming from out of the room. Other than that, again, very well done for your 1st game published!

One of my favorite things about this game is the monster design. Hands down a creative one. However, the beginning of the game (and other night scenes) was WAY too dark and needed tweaking. I suggest adding a brightness slider in the 'Settings' menu so we can adjust accordingly. Took me forever to find the deer when I got the dialogue (which was on top of the hill so I was thinking it was near the lake/ waterfront but it was the direction of the car).
Some text does stack up during the meat scene, too. On a good note, I did enjoy the chase sequence. The only thing I'd like is better environment accessibility. It's a little confusing since you can't run up/ down some hills and only go through the wooden path, even outside the chase sequence. Other than that, well done.

I'm having a real fun time playing through your catalogue of games lately and stumbled upon this one! Really enjoyed this game, and I'm starting to see your progress in game development compared to Holiday After Special.
Well done with this one, and I just saw that there are a couple of instances/ programs I missed in my playthrough so might run it back one more time to get them. Can't wait to check out No Delivery next :)
What a wholesome and wonderful game. Being able to learn about another culture's celebration and urban legends is always good knowledge to have, especially as a horror junkie. I thought the art style and color palette was wonderful and the SFX + writing too. I feel like some scenes could have somewhat more music to tie in more pathos and evoke emotion. But overall, I enjoyed this game.

I'm not gonna lie, the first jumpscare was really well done and I haven't screamed like that in a LONG time!
Props to you for creating a short and concise horror game in 2 weeks, especially at your age!
A couple things I took note of: The tension and atmosphere in the beginning was amazing, however, it did fall short during the middle and end. Also, the monster towards the end was dope on the ceiling with the chains dangling (seeing it from a distance), but up close, it was sorta meh with the animations and reveal. There are ways to work around this.
In-your-face, jumpscare horror is good, but I think for me, there's a lot to work with slow, psychological horror such as: Muted/ ambience SFX, monsters appearing from the corner of one's eye and suddenly vanishing, and a combination of various sound effects and a good OTS/ scoring (For ex. hearing whispering sounds in your ear as if someone is behind you, but when a player turns, nothing is there and no jumpscare).
Some game examples I've found fond of that do this are: Welcome to Kowloon, The Summer of '58 (a good combo of world building + jumpscares, albeit a little slow), and the Fears to Fathom series. A decent line-up for some game study/ theory.
After a few notes, I wanna end this on a good-note: You're amazing and I definitely see the talent with your game-development. A HUGE congrats for a game completed in 2-weeks, and I'm glad to cover it. Keep working hard to develop your craft (no pun intended lol).

One of the best indie psychological horror games I've ever played. Honestly, the production is really top-notch and some of the cinematography work really made it feel like a movie. With some talented voice-actors, I feel like this game could be taken to another level. However, I'm really satisfied with the result and it's a masterpiece of a game. Very well done.
One of the better Demos Indie Horror games I've played on this site! Gave me some Outlast vibes, too. There were a few language errors when it came to dialogue and subtitles not matching up.
Well done! Here's my playthrough of the game:
Some critique:
The battery collecting seemed a little insignificant for the demo but looking forward to its use in the full game (hopefully not a chore).
Also, I cracked the upstairs puzzle combination box, left without getting the key, and came back to read the paper and couldn't, freezing the game (timestamp: 10:03). Might be a glitch in the paper/ key item interaction. Wasn't major, but I did have to restart because of it.
