Great. Is there a warning before the monster comes around?
the only warning is the silent footsteps of them coming up towards you 👀 thanks for playing!
Need to wash my pants now. Thank you :D
Well-made game.
This game feels like the kind of experience that comes from personal experience. I kept wondering if you’d ever had your car fail to start on a dark highway somewhere, because the atmosphere feels very grounded and believable.
Regardless, super well done on the creepy tone and atmosphere.
Relatable :D This is the kind of simple games I could get stuck on for hours just because.
Now I wont be able to go out at night without looking over my shoulder and spin around 100 times before I do anything anymore. Great job and cool idea!
You were definitely successful at creating tension right off the bat and continuously for the whole game. Very creepy. Good job!
Made me scream even tho i new something would happen lol. Honestly a quick and fun game. A little confusion with the k spam at first and i couldn't click on play again when i lost. But i enjoyed it a lot!
Spooky. I should have known not to have my headphones volume as high as it was! Spamming K is the downside. Nice little game, well done.
Interesting little horror game. As other say make it a bit more obvious ya got to spam pressing K and not just hold K... but once you figure that out, you've gotta keep you head on a swivel. I knew something was up my first playthrough when I saw shadow/ something move in the trees.
That was a lot of fun. Quick and sweet! Love chill and creepy little gems like this. A little sound or visual feedback with the UI would help a lot. Like if the bar jiggled when you pressed K, or if you could hear the engine hum more and more over time. Small changes like that would help a lot!

I really don't understand how this game works, I tried clicking everything with my mouse, only to realise I just need to spam click the K button, and then a guy just showed up and bonked me. Would be cool if it had more things to do, and a proper jumpscare with some additional screen effects. Otherwise cool concept and I like the dark eerie vibes.
Definitely took me a while to understand that I had to spam K to get the battery to charge. Pretty good mechanics on the horror element. Nice work!
