Hey Scary Cube, this was hecking excellent. I love your sense of pacing and atmospheric story-telling. Keep up the great work!!

Hello, how do I turn the sound back on for this game? I started playing a couple weeks ago and it started out with sound but then it mysteriously disappeared. How can I fix this?

I do a little indie horror showcase every Saturday on twitch. I don't like to vet or disqualify games because I've found that even the barely played, most unimpressive looking games can sometimes have a spark of something special in them, even if that something goes ultimately unrealized. It's fun, like treasure hunting in a sewer, and though most of the time I do find myself standing in a pile of shit, sometimes I walk away with something really special, or the knowledge that someday, something could be special (if the dev continues to work at it). That being said, this game drowned me. Never before have I played a "game" so cheap that the dev lies on their itch page about what it actually is. The screenshots are from something else entirely, and it is not based on a true story, it is based on several lame jumpscares and a hail storm of text that was peppered with my real first name, which was revealed to everyone watching without my beforehand knowledge or consent. I have played effective and creative bait and switch horror games before, and a few of them are remembered by me and my chat with great fondness, but this just made us sad. On a website where most devs seem to be trying to put their best work forward, why is this here?
