Very interesting game for sure. It feels almost like a kojima game in terms of cutscenes quality. I really wished the demo itself was in normal difficulty. But beyond that, nice job.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for giving it a try, I really I appreciate it! Also, you did great in your video!
Really good job with this! Not my usual cup of tea, but i really enjoyed the story and the original characters. Excellent work!
Thank you!! That makes me so happy to hear, I really appreciate it :)
I seldom leave reviews, but some credit is in order here.
When I downloaded this game, I was expecting something similar to Poppy Playtime (or should I say, another poor imitation of it). However, I was pleasantly surprised to see this game was something entirely different, and what I would call a breath of fresh air from the typical mascot horror game.
It is a point and click horror game, which I wasn't expecting since I didn't read the full description. However, it makes the game mechanics interesting. You have to complete certain actions according to the investigator's notes (which is like an instruction manual). In true survival game fashion, it kept me on my toes between the creepy atmosphere and characters. There was even some lore, which despite leaving a lot up to interpretation, was interesting and held up well.
I will also say that the settings section was expansive, and not something you typically see in an indie game. There are lots of options to choose from, and I was somewhat impressed to see that. However, I would have liked an option to customize the controls. I would have also liked earlier clarification that if you switch from using the parabolic mic, that you can no longer hear your surroundings, rendering you deaf until you switch back to it.
tl;dr a surprisingly good game with unique gameplay/mechanics. Lots of settings despite being an indie game. Congrats dev, you've earned another customer.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! It means a lot to me, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the game!
Realease the game for free so people will consider playing,and if the game is good enough, youll gain A following,Once you've gathered enough to support your game after,then you'll achieve success financially.PEOPLE WANT FREE GAMES ,FREE GAMES GAIN MORE POPULARITY.Take Poppy playtime chapter 1 for example.It was free,people enjoyed it because it showed alot of promise and now Poppyplaytime can fund and make better games.I rest my case.Also go sub to my channel https://youtube.com/@Kapowzy?si=gBxxcwQza5Gf8a0n
the dev made almost the entire game free. I think the demo being what it is, is more than fair. Also kinda shady how you stomp about wanted the game for free then ask people to sub to you. Seems like you just want everything your way
