Simply AMAZING! Not sure how I missed this the first time around but here we are. I left lots of feedback in my review here:

Wanted to try one of your older games. Was not disappointed. Very spooky stuff. Here's my review:

After the recent itchio blog post about deindexing NSFW games, I'm more than a little worried about VILE. 

"We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of content to ensure we can meet the requirements of our payment processors.

For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account."

Just know you have tons of fans in your corner rooting for a good outcome!!

Nice game! Kinda gave me "The Man From The Window" vibes. I couldn't figure out how to barricade the door-- was that just a red herring? Since the Guest searches in a seemingly random order, it feels like even if you do everything right, you could still be caught. Is that true? 

Awesome new mode!  Great game all around. 

Great game! I left lots of feedback in my playthrough here:

Loved it, but I think the two endings are reversed. "Will you leave me y/n?" >> Choosing "no" gives me the bad ending and choosing "yes" gives me the unfinished good ending. Is this intentional?

I have 3 cats. Thank you for this.

This game can certainly be divided into two halves. The first is a slow burn-- and man, there were moments when the odd behavior and eerie occurrences gave me chills. Seriously. Then the second half of the game begins and it becomes a desperate race to escape from the you-know-what. Kind of difficult, but not impossible. The puzzles were a nice addition and the chase scenes were panic-inducing. Superb PSX horror right here.

This was suspenseful throughout and the ending scared the crap out of me. You put so much detail in here, it made it a blast to play. Here's my video:

EDIT: Seven people like the game, but it only has three ratings? Guys you gotta rate the game if you like it to give it a boost.

Really enjoyed the look of this game. It's what I prefer the Backrooms to feel like. But do we play as a child? That's the only way I could justify feeling so short. The player's camera could be a little higher up imho. All in all, well done!

Nice work! Perfectly spoofs RE-style games. I left lots of feedback in my video playthrough here:

Fun little game where you pretty much just follow the story. Too bad it's over so quickly, right when I was starting to get into it. I liked the creepy campsite ambience but in the end I was left with more questions than answers. However-- it's obvious you know the recipe for how to make a horror story, I would just work on fleshing out your ideas more.

I made a thing.

Wow this game made me veryyy uncomfortable.  I loved it.

When I say this is the best Jeff the Killer game I've ever seen, I mean it. This was stunningly good-- from beginning to end. Several heart-pounding moments and lots of creepy atmosphere. Nice job with the models and the music was perfect as well. Oh and thanks for the checkpoints lol They kept the game fun and not annoying.

Loved this! The lighthouse theme, the gameplay, the choices, the look-- all great. I would have placed this much higher in the game jam. Honestly, if you fleshed this out more and made it longer somehow with more tasks, more island to explore, and more gameplay elements it would truly be a banger imho. Fantastic job!

Great little Christmas Horror game. It got super intense there at the end. My heart was pounding out of my chest trying to replace those damn cookies!

Short and sweet. I'm glad to see you're still making games! I left more feedback in my playthrough below. Take care Niven.

Nice little game. Loooved the snowy background and the Halloween radio jingle was a cool find. How many endings are there?

SPOILERS BELOW:

I got the escape ending, death ending, and cat ending.

Why did I wait so long to play this? I had no idea it was going to be this good. Wonderful game all around!

Brilliant game! The audio design especially is superb.

Great stuff. Loved the school setting and the mystery surrounding the spooky events. Also the jump scares scattered throughout really got me each time lol. Played it several times, found two journals and managed to get the Two Of Us, Guilty Trio, and Doomed endings. Couldn't quite figure out how to get the fourth. I'm assuming it involves saving three of the girls plus myself, right? A fine job all around!

Thanks for your help. Game is awesome.

I loved the world you built here-- very atmospheric, i was totally immersed. Walking the halls, checking out the various rooms, hoping to discover each event was such a treat. I would love more of this kind of thing.

The ending was great and went into a nice, surreal direction. Yet, after searching and searching, I could only find 5 of the 7 trophies. Any tips? I mean, I felt like I went over it with a fine-toothed comb (shelves, cupboards, corners, etc.) and couldn't for the life of me find the last two. 

TROPHY SPOILERS BELOW:

I found... 1 in the bar, 1 in the bar restroom, 1 in the laundry room, 1 on the roof, and 1 by the broken elevators.

Very good game! i left some feedback in my video here:

P.S. The ambient music is copyrighted :( 

This rocks. Can't wait to see more. Here's my No Commentary playthrough:

If you were going for a tense atmosphere fraught with peril at every step, then you certainly nailed it. Creepy from start to finish, and that ending! Wow! Great job! My No Commentary playthrough with puzzle solutions:

Managed to get the Good Ending.

I liked the cold, oppressive atmosphere you created and I'm fascinated by anything Soviet-related so that's also a plus. 

Like others have said, I had a hard time following the story. I'd suggest including more notes to help flesh out what's happening. I just had to guess at the plot and I probably wasn't correct.

You've said you "lightened" up the game but jeez man-- it's still super dark. Too dark to see half the time. Maybe a flashlight or something?

I did enjoy this however, and I think you've shown a lot of potential here. Keep at it and the next one will be even better I'm sure. Cheers.

I only recently discovered your work, but I think you do a remarkable job. I included a review of The Shopping List in my Halloween special here:

This game deserves more attention. I'm pitching in by showcasing it in my Halloween special here:

Such a cool game for Halloween, with a great cast of characters! I reviewed/showcased it in my spooky special:

Such a great game! I showcased it and gave it a review in my Halloween special!

Hello again! I enjoyed this game so much I just had to showcase it in my Halloween special!

Wonderfully crafted with awesome artwork and a delightfully brash main character. And yeah the cat too is adorable. Great job on this!

OK I just now went back to check and OH. MY. GOD. You're right-- I completely misunderstood how it worked! I'm kind of embarrassed but hopefully the next person who reads this will get a laugh from my dumbass mistake lol

Great job! My only suggestion would be some playful background music-- it felt too quiet. Too bad we can't cuddle with the giant rodent. Maybe in the sequel?
