I was on the edge of my seat by giving the deer their food XD Great game :D

The atmosphere was very tense and spooky, jumped when the deer got me. Having to click from room to room made it even more tense. Thought this was really creative! Good job!

Thats defnitely a herd of deers. Either that or it is just blazingly fast. I liked the atmosphere you created here. The voice acting was good too. Well done!

Not quite sure how this game fits into the theme given but I will now forever view deer in a different light. I hope I will be able to sleep after this.

Our take on the theme was that you have to kill the rats in the basement and use them as bait for the deer in order to save yourself :) glad to spook ya!

Finally got it to work! For anyone have issues with Windows quarantining and removing the file, you need to right click on the zip and go to properties > security and unblock the file, then unzip. Attempting to unzip before that will cause the file to get deleted. 

As for my review: in the most positive, endeering way possible, this was awful! The constant clock ticking , the fake knocking at the door, the not quite deer. This is very well made! I have no notes. Really polished, really stylish and good looking environment! 10 / 10.

Really dig the atmosphere in this one and I'm a sucker for these kinds of graphics! Aiming system was a little hard for me to get a hang of, but great game!

I saw the notification in discord just after he finished playing it, absolutely raced to the VOD, thanks for making sure we saw it though!

I really want to play this, but your win_x86_64 zip gets entirely blocked by windows defender!

Submitted(+2)

you can go into properties and unblock the application if you still want to play :)

Unfortunately pretty common with jam games since we can't get the EXE signed, but as the other commenter said if you press "more info" in the windows defender popup you should be able to allow it anyway!

perfect, i'll give that a go, thank you!
