This Game Was really well made done it gave me the chills
I really enjoyed how great the graphics looked! I did definitely jump at one of the scares!
i liked game
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.
good job\
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!
sugi pulaVery interesting experience. Fairly simple but nice and straight forward. Great aesthetic.

Looking for our brother in the woods has never been so terrifying! S01 Recap | 24th Game
This game was pretty cool. The storyline was good, but it’s a terrible idea in theory. It’s on a mountain side in the winter while snowing with no type of direction! It’s a death trip! Lol, here is my gameplay.

this is one of the funniest videos I made
loved this game, well done! I could definitely see the fears to fathom DNA in this. Would love to see a much longer game as the scares in this one got me for sure! I also thought it was funny to have the one ending at the beginning with the car XD.
I quite enjoyed the game, I do wish i could have done more at the end.
