I waited for the bus to come. and then the shadows came. lol interesting experience. thank you for making it.

Thank you for playing! There's no power and the roads are closed. The bus stop shouldn't even be working...

What a fascinating experience. I can totally see the Outer Peak inspiration. I just wish I could see the character model a lil bit more 🥀

Developer

Thank you for playing! The ending of Outer Wilds was a huge inspiration, even if I couldn't make something that's 1% as good :D

Short and sweet! I like the aesthetic! I don’t know who the black silhouettes were but, I hope they are nice people and totally not demons <3

Developer

Thank you for playing! I can only say that they are not demons. They just don't know how to express themselves!

V what that guy below me said :0, I did genuinely get spooked but this was very short. On actual critique I think there should have been environmental ambience/sounds and the next time you make something like this you should find ways to incrementally change more of the environment to build tension for longer, (and make a monster chase you cause that's always spooky)

Developer

Thank you for giving feedback! I was really short on time, but I'll do better in the future.

I dont know what happened to me, but it happened here

Something blew up, I think...

Very nice game, i love the art style and gameplay, but rotating the camera was way too slow for me for some reason. 

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! I tried fixing the camera, but I couldn't figure it out ;_;

Very nicely done!! I wanted to see more of the character art, its very cute! Maybe a mirror or something would be cool? 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you for playing! As for character art, I have... This picture 😅

I probably missed some cue at the beginning, found myself going back and forth ^^ I'm quite puzzled by the comments XD. Anyway interesting game.

Thank you for playing! I think I've made the path to progression a bit too obscure...

So there is no way to save the character from imminent doom when the timer hits 0? Dang, I was hoping for more.... 

Developer

Thank you for playing! The character is going to be fine (I think)...

For some reason when I get to a certain point the game freezes :(

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! If you're referring to the moment when shadows appear, it's a bug caused by the way the game is supposed to close (it's a part of the ending). I'm working on fixing it!

Thanks for say me.

Man, i went to the bus stop and waited for the time to end. I really enjoyed that -- the quietness of the night with the somewhat cozy art style made me feel calm. Then a bomb exploded! LOVED!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope the explosion wasn't too loud....

are you supposed to be able to shoot the shadow people or is the goal to just run?

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!

The shadow people are just a part of the ending sequence. You see them and then the game ends. :)

The visuals caught my attention, then I found myself walking endlessly in the game. I might need a guide.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the feedback! If you're not encountering any objects on your path, it's because of a bug that can only be fixed by restarting the game. I'm working on fixing it!
UPD.: It's fixed!

I was lulled into a false sense of security. I was then scared, it froze but it was awesome. If you end up patching anything lemme know so I can replay. Loved the vibe. Honestly amazing work. The visual aesthetic is awesome, are you doing a shader on everything or is a render texture thing?


Would love if you tried out the game I submitted with a couple friends but after 24 hours have passed from this message so I have time to fix a bug 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! The crash happens at the very end of the game, so you've practically seen it all.
The visuals are done with low game resolution. I do not recommend this due to UI also being locked to an extremely low resolution. This is a makeshift "easy" solution. :D
I'll check out your game, hope it's not too scary though!!

Great game. Spooky people

Developer

Thanks! :D
