This game was spooky and got me a few times real good! I played through the game on my channel if you wanna watch it before downloading. And maybe subscribe!
I really liked this game! The environment and atmoshere in the game really built up tension throughout and kept me on edge. Definetly hoping to check out more of your work! :))
My only critique is that sometimes it was a bit difficult to figure out where to go - especially with the cabin at the end. It mentioned a light being seen in the woods, but I initially struggled to find it. Maybe having a short camera pan over to it or making the light more obvious would help?
Overall great short game!
(ps if you want to see some gameplay is begins ~11:00 in my video!)
The atmosphere was amazing. I was very spooked. I especially like the Puppet Combo retro / found footage style to the game, as I feel it adds to the atmosphere a ton.
The gameplay was easy and once I learned the controls I never had a problem remembering which button to press in order to do a certain action.
The audio was fantastic in the sense that I was on the edge of my seat whenever the music started playing, or when I jumped out of my seat as soon as the jump scare hit.
The Bad -
Though the gameplay was good, the game doesn't tell you how to play. I was confused for a second on how to control the car for an example.
The English is very broken. There are a lot of grammatical errors which can decrease the amount of atmosphere in the game.
Instructions were clear, but the delivery on some elements of the game were not. When I was walking down the hiking trail, a text just appeared out of nowhere saying that I needed to examine the tent. To make this better, I would suggest pausing the character movement and panning the camera towards the tent, THEN show the text. After you're done showing the text, you pan the camera back to the original camera position, and enable to character to walk again.
I also made a video with this game in it. The gameplay footage of your games starts at 31 seconds.
missing hiker is a one of a kind the intense build up in these games is crazy keep it up devs check out my gameplay video here on my channel...... thanks
This was a ton of fun, nice job! You startled the heck out of me with the jumpscare, gave me mild Fears to Fathom vibes. Would love to see a bigger version of this, it really subverted expectations.

The jumpscare this game gave me omg! Well played!
Also, why couldn't we just drive our car up the mountain? Why would you walk, after countless warnings?
Oh well... We learned our lesson.
