The crazy clock made me remember Silent Hill 4, what a game.

It was really cool. I'd play a longer version, I specially enjoyed the daylight part.

I was absolutely terrified. As a timid player, I really can't handle horror games like this, but I really like your design concept. The game's scene art, plot, and atmosphere are all perfectly executed. My biggest takeaway is that if I get married in the future, I must treat my wife really well.

Developer

LOL! That's one way to look at it. I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)

Submitted

This is great! Short but very fun. Lulled me into a false sense of security at first and forgot it was a horror game. I couldn't tell if the husband was intended to be a floating set of clothes with eyeballs but it was definitely creepy. Good work.

Developer

the husband with floating clothes and eyeballs is an over the top hallucination of the husband, but im glad you enjoyed the game :)

I gotta say the jumpscares really got me. I really like it, even though I'm personally not a big fan of horror games I enjoyed! 

Submitted

The jumpscares, oh my god.  Very creative and an enjoyable (and terrifying) play. The fact that "shift to run" appears before you open the last door is excellent. I knew i had to open it but i REALLY didnt want to. 11/10

The jumpscares really got me... Nice creepy atmosphere. Nice game!

I should have read the description and tags before I played this game T_T The jump scares got me every time and it took me a second to realize what I was supposed to do at the end. The audio during the jumpscares were pretty loud and I had to turn down my computer volume in order to keep playing, but I'm assuming the loud audio is the point. I'm not sure if its just my computer being 6 years old but turning on the lamp froze the game for a good 4 seconds lol. I really enjoyed the narrative and the end definitely shocked me... Great game all around!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I liked the atmosphere, the floating eyeballs man surprised me

Thank you for playing!

Oof, yeah the heart was pounding with this one. Great sense of unease walking through the looping rooms, really set me edge just dreading what was going to be behind one of the doors. I enjoyed piecing together the story through small breadcrumbs, and it, along with some other obvious things, reminded me of PT. The camera focal length was quite high for a game -- it worked well to add unease during the intense parts but might have been a bit cumbersome for the normal navigation.

Developer

I appreciate the thorough review! Thank you fpr playing!

Submitted

Not really a horror fan tbh, but this...this is intriguing. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted

It was my pleasure...er...horror.

Submitted

Really good misdirect. Knowing the theme I was expecting the full game to be something else after the first day. That shift into horror really came by surprise

Developer

Haha thank you!

Submitted

Hahaha! So cool to see we thought of the same concept!

Developer

LOL! I should probably check your game out then

Submitted

That first Jump Scare got me so hard!

Great take on the theme!

Submitted

Good Horror game ! The jumpscares really got me (the first ....I didn't expect it ahhah) great job !

Developer

Thank You!

Fun little experience — you can really feel the creativity here! These kinds of ideas are why I love jam games. I made one too — Brinkitron. A NES-style metroidvania if you're into that kinda thing :)

Fun little experience — you can really feel the creativity here! These kinds of ideas are why I love jam games. I made one too — Infinite Money Glitch. Dark little mystery story if you're into that kinda thing :)

Developer

LOL I'll be sure to check it out

Submitted

Really cool concept! I love how unique and unexpected everything feels — you never know what's coming next. It kept me curious the whole time. Great job!

Submitted

I really didn't know that you could get such amazing 3D graphics out of GDevelop , amazing though short gameplay , but still i see this game has a story but I still don't really understand it , narrative kinda weak in the game.

But I really like this game it's very polished !

Developer

Yeah, GDevelop's 3D is really starting to evolve, and I'm here for it! The story is left vague on purpose because the player is expected to put the pieces together through the computer screen and the environment, but i get what you mean. Anyway, thank you for playing!
