The atmosphere was one of the best I've ever experienced in an Indie game! Most immersed I've felt in a long time. My only gripe is that I wish it was longer!

I spent a lot of time goofing around over the scenery that I really got sucked into the story! A really fun game, and the tent scare got me SO good!

Great work on this! It was very atmospheric at the start and in the forest. I really appreciate the ability to drive the car all willy-nilly at the beginning, too! Well done, and please continue to produce games with a similar vibe.

I absolutely loved the vibes of this, eerie and mysterious!! Well done game! Keep up the amazing work :)

This game offers a really intriguing atmosphere right from the start. The minimal UI and ambient audio design set a mysterious, almost haunting tone that pulls you in. The gameplay seems focused on exploration with a light puzzle or narrative element, which works well with the visuals. I really liked the transitions and how the environments shift — it keeps the player curious and a little uneasy in a good way.

Controls look responsive, and the pacing feels deliberate, which matches the vibe you're going for. One suggestion would be to add a bit more clarity on objectives or context early on (unless ambiguity is the goal). Overall, this looks like a very promising indie project, especially for fans of experimental or atmospheric games.

amazing game, the plot was great and very eerie atmosphere.

I went looking for my brother and ended up in the scariest game I’ve ever played. Two perfect jumpscares — the second one almost gave me a heart attack (kinda). Play it if you dare.

good job\

(+1)

Awesome game! The environment and the vibes were scary, the jumpscares made my heart skip a beat and the story is good!

I'd give the game an 8/10 I would prefer a longer game or at least make multiple endings. The elements already in the game fit well and were perfect.


Great work Gemezl!
