Jogo muito bom, a atmosfera envolvente e assustadora, só achei curto demais e no final não consegui descobrir como ou - se há como escapar.

The narrative is superb, scare factor is minimal but still effective. Needs a bit more polishing on the art and technical direction but overall good.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the story worked well for you and I'll definitely polish up the art and tech details soon

A very sad and unsettling plot. The subtle build-up and feeling of isolation work together to create uneasiness that still makes you want to see it through to the end. Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot, I'm glad the isolation and build-up worked the way it did.

Simple. Scary. High Impact.

Even in the intro, Shane's story already made me sad. Such are the horrors of real life.

Great game. I remember how I hate working night-shifts na on-site. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Ganda ng game. Though may na-encounter ako kanina sa stream na nawawala ang mouse sa selection after ko ma-press ang esc (nakakagulat naman kasi). 

Developer(+1)

Thanks sa feedback at glad to know na nagandahan ka, noted na ito para sa mga susunod na update.

Great game with excellent presentation. The story resonated strongly with me as someone who knows how lonely working abroad can be. The protagonist's fate is so devastating, making the tragic ending hit so much harder.
