Honestly Germfood, you're really good at creepy fun. Two genres that should never work together.

Wishlisted. You've captured some of the magic that Chilla's Art are famous for. I've just carted your Steam bundle too so I look forward to playing those other four you've published.
I just have a couple of QoL recommendations. Add an option to stick a little dot to the screen so we know what we're interacting with, I had to pixelhunt a bunch of times. The other thing is to add a gamma slider.
What a banger, nouhidev. I'm not a rich guy and can't donate to your Itch, but I can give some advice. Be wary of Steam's >3 hour refund exploit because it's heinous for creators. If you make a few more games, try bundling them up in the same .exe so people can't play and return after beating it. People are cheap.
Also plugging my video.
PSA: The saves in this game are level based, not autosaved or checkpointed. It didn't bother me, but it would annoy most (it definitely annoyed Sam).
If you're not bothered by Iron Man style save systems, this game is for you. It's a hardcore horror with obvious Amnesia influences that doesn't look like a lot initially, but after 10 minutes of playing, the dread sinks in.
The creatures have some minor bugs (as shown in the video), but since we found the items spawn in the same spot each time, it was easy to make up lost progress. The item spawns are all identifiable as well, if you're observant enough.
Contemp feels like the bastard child of P.T. and Layers of Fear. The atmosphere was stellar, and for those that don't know, there's multiple endings.
I only have 2 criticisms:
1. High depth of field != quality textures. It's also very taxing on computers.
2. Motion blur should be an option. It is also heavy on a GPU and some people find navigation difficult when exploring new environments.
Other than this, the game gets an A+ from me, since it was a University project!
I wasn't going to plug this into the Itch comments, but the 3 Scary Games guy below me forced my hand. First Winter deserves it's own video.
Dan, this game was absolutely amazing. I'll be having a go at Pacific very soon, since I saw you mentioned a while ago that it was the prequel. I'll keep an eye out for more of your games!
