Played this game for a free indie horror on my channel, and although you guys claim it STANDS OUT from the common riff-raff of indie horrors, I for one think it kinda just falls in-line with the rest of them. It's an interesting game though kinda generic and boring at times. Puzzles are too easy and the difficult ones are difficult for the wrong reasons. There's no real threat, so there's no fear of danger or dying because you seemingly can't. The first person camera pivots around a center point for some odd reason? Collision on objects in areas are weird and inconsistent most of the time and to top is all off (Personal pet-peeve) Ya can't SPRINT and ya can't JUMP. I always find the inability to do both of these somewhat annoying in Horror games, as it removes a certain level of "Fear for my life" And takes away from the experience a bit. Also, add a brightness slider. The atmosphere was alright, if you like a combination of P.T and gonzo's fun house (Generic carnival clown funhouse name). Gameplay is the best part of this game, as is controls rather decently. All in all I give this game a 6.5/10. Not perfect and definitely needs work and maybe some design choice changes, but not bad and kinda fun to kill 30-45 minutes. If you want a more in-depth review and a let's play, you can find mine below!
In general, a good experience, nice graphics and atmosphere, but also needs more testing on those puzzles, one of them (the Dante's inferno reference) was just bad done, but at least the game shows some good future for this new developer.
This was quite good! The story really confused me, I wasn't really sure what literally any of it meant. But I really liked the entire building design and the puzzles were not challenging (minus that painting puzzle, wth?) but they were all super satisfying to get through! I can't wait to see what else you do with this, you're going to finish it, ya? Please do!
The puzzles were well done! However, the story needs some work. The voice acting was... off-putting and although it looked the part, there really wasn't anything scary, just one jumpscare at the very end that slightly startled me because it was sudden. I'm not saying it's a bad game, there's a lot of "love" put into this project. Would I call this a finished game? No. To me, it feels like this is basically a "proof of concept" and the real.. finished version is still being perfected.
A short but well made game. The Puzzles are interesting and well placed.
Only complain I have was the story: I kind of lost track or I missed something ( especially why the Protagonist can decide for a certain action ). But still good job on this game

Anyway, that's just my thoughts about it.
