The art for this is absolutely AMAZING!

Man I was super immersed in the story!! I would love to see more, the art direction is truly wonderful. Keep working on this! Amazing job!

Thanks for the feedback! I can definitely say it was a big challenge for me. Since I’m not an artist, I had to find another way to illustrate the story. So I built that actual helmet by putting together some electronic parts I had lying around in my garage. 😄 The tricky part was taking the photos of myself, though.

 I need to go back to the story and bring it up to the length I originally planned.

Super interesting concept for the story with a strange look to it. Would like more please.

I really like the idea of the game, there were some really good parts, but it feels incomplete.  the muffled screams were a really good touch.

Yeah, you're right, it does feel a bit incomplete. The story was actually meant to be longer, but I was working on it at the last minute, so I decided it was better to have something complete, even if it was shorter. I also decided to make the background images and sounds myself, even though I'm neither a 2D artist nor a musician, and that ended up taking quite a bit of time. 😅

I'm really glad you liked the story! And by the way, those aren't actually screams... I'll reveal the "mystery" later. :))

Oh damn I love the og feel, it's very gritty early internet vibes. Love the sound design the most, great horror stuff.

I'm glad you liked the game! I really liked the idea behind it when I came up with the concept, especially because it feels like something that could actually be possible in the not-so-distant future 😄

I am at a loss for words on this one...Im scared. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad my story “scared” you. 😄 I just finished playing through your story as well, and you guys did a really great job. What I liked the most was the interaction in the game and the sound design.
