Я даже не знаю что сказать) Игра сделана очень круто да и идея про пвз маньяка - что-то новенькое. Клёвая графика! Прикольная фишка с мини играми, как интерпретациями процесса убийства. Но блин мне было жутко играть за отбитого психа и убивать людей... Вроде хоррор и должен быть страшным, но это ж реально страшно. Ну это наверное отдельная тема для обсуждения, а игра всё же качественная, сделана с душой так сказать(: Спасибо за игру и успехов в дальнейшем!

Insanely horrifying! Very glad that I played it during the daylight. The amount of work that you got done in a week is very impressive. The art was great, so was the sound and plot! The minigames were unsettling. 10/10

This is really well made, the art style def helped with the horror of everything. Very Creepy and horrific. Idk if this was an bug but it def took me a few tries to click on the buttons on the computer screens.

Thank you so much for playing our game! =) The PC click is actually not a bug—it triggers with a double-click. I hope this mechanic didn't affect your overall impression of the game's atmosphere. Wishing you peace and all the best!

Great concept. Very dark, atmospheric, and unsettling. Fantastic game!

Игра была с русским языком, поэтому и отзыв напишу на русском! 
Стилистика персонажей как-то уж очень вдохновлена No Im not a Human. Либо это крайнее совпадение! Тем не менее, скажем так, "приятная" история вышла. Играл не без удовольствия. Эти глупые мини-игры между сценами с охотниками и последующей расправой. И обыгрывание провалом в памяти! Это достаточно забавно. Чувствую себя ненормальным от того, что мне смешно, когда на экране такое :D 

Действительно классная игра, по своему жуткая. Самое главное, она не пытается тебя ничем напугать. А это лучший тип хорроров, где нет сраных скримеров. Однозначно заслуживает больших оценок. Чуваки, вы крутые!

Enticing hunters into your workshop and watching what unfolds is a deliciously dark flip on the usual horror roles. Players are especially praising the storytelling through files, the artwork, and the point and click gameplay, which sounds like a really cohesive package. Congratulations to you both on a well-received entry! If you have a spare few minutes, I would love for you to try my entry, Last Sweep.

This game was honestly very impressive. I really loved how unsettling the imagery was, and how much you used the environment and game actions to explain the story. The sound design was also creepy as hell and made me feel very disturbed, even though I was playing as the killer. The only feedback I'd give is that there isn't an exit or menu button, in case the player needs to pause or leave mid-playthrough. But this was overall a great game, and I can definitely see it becoming even better once you scale it up!

Me gustó mucho, la atmosfera es inquietante y la manera de acabar con los cazadores también. Recomendado! Corto pero intenso.

Everything in this game so great, the story telling through the files, the artworks, the point and click gameplay, and the transitions, the conversations, they are just so good. I really love the visualizations of each murder, as they show how the killer perceives his execution, , which makes the character even more disturbing. I can also really feel the killer’s hatred through the way he speaks, trying to hide his true intentions before killing them
One thing that could  make this game better is having some choices that could make the mission fail, like when the player pick "go to this abandoned base", the seller should be suspicious and you lose the victim.

Thank you for your review! =) We actually thought about this, but decided to keep the failure mechanic. We wanted to briefly convey the core elements and idea of the game. Plus, since the playthrough is short, it won't ruin the overall gameplay experience. (Initially, the game was planned to track murder-related clues — for instance, how thoroughly the cleanup was done, whether the curtains were left open, etc.) =)

I liked the irony and the insane atmosphere. You handled the transitions to the violent scenes really well, and I especially like the music. For me the scariest moment was the transition to the basement. Excellent work. (tnx for adding Russian!)

very interesting and unique concept you don't see many games like this , i will rate it now

Submitted(+1)

It's really scary, man... I liked the style. Quite unusual. The characters scared me too... Especially the main character... The colors are muted. The menus and transitions are pretty cool. Anyway, it was fun to play it. It was hard to get through in the sense that the game was pretty scary ~._.'~

Yoo, that was insane :D What a cool idea and so well executed. The minigames were really fun and didn’t take away from the horror. The art ist beautiful. I think this has a lot of potential. Great job!

Very unique concept, super creepy and atmospheric. very strong entry! Wish there was more to play but i did enjoy all the minigames

Submitted(+1)

Wow what an interesting concept! When I first opened the game I thought it was going to be a FNAF-style horror game. Then I saw "my victims" and realised it was a REVERSE horror game - what a cool concept! The artstyle was unique and the atmosphere was unnerving...

I would say if you continue development on this game, it was sometimes a little confusing about what to do next. Maybe add a short tutorial of some sort? Besides that, great entry

Another contender for jam winner!  5 starts across the board - It's disturbing, the writing is very well paced, and what surprised me most was a decent sense of humor.  I DID wait to see if the screensaver bounced, before getting uppercutted by the contents of the desktop.  


Solid work!

Thanks for playing. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Disturbing, I could sense what was coming when I checked the pictures in my PC but I was still surprised when I saw what happened to the first victim. I really liked the art styled, it really fits the atmosphere of the game. Great job with the game

Omg okay so I was not expecting any of that, during the scenes all I could say was "What the hell", genuinely got me so badly the first time around really shocked me in a good way. The plant scene lowkey creeped the hell out of me so good job with the horror. Good game all around!
