That ending was RUDE hahahah. Nah but it definitely built suspense over time and I was very, VERY on edge. The ending absolutely got me. Thank you for the game!
Had a blast playing this game as once it got going to the forest I was constantly looking around for SOMETHING due to the atmosphere and everything. Really well done and thank you for making it. My thoughts and reactions say it all here:
It's not too often that itch.io games actually put the fear of god in me. This was one that did. The moments in this game are so natural with a good build up that is worth the payoff! Very reminiscent of Fears to Fathom in some parts that truly had me on the edge of my seat! GREAT SHORT HORROR GAME THAT EVERY HORROR GAME LOVER SHOULD TRY!
Like Driving Home, Missing Hiker builds slow foreboding tension for the relatively short playthrough - you do have the sense that someone or SOMETHING is about to pop out from the woods...
Pros:
Slow build horror
With a couple of jump scares (one got me, the other didn't) you'll be questioning things after the credits have rolled - ambiguous ending leaves questions for the player which I enjoyed
Each new episode from the developer shows growth and intrigued to find out what's next
Cons:
Shame that there isn't more to do with the car - its a great mechanic but maybe something could be utilised with it for a future episode?
Apart from interacting with the people in the gas station and the other NPC, ending felt a little rushed with regards to investigating brother's disappearance. Walking between scenes seemed a tad long. Understand this was to create tension though.
Story could have been developed a little more - felt that the relationship between the siblings could have been expanded upon, or that notes left by the brother could be clues creating even more tension.

LOVE THESE TYPE GAME!
Awesome game! Love the writing and look of everything. Interested in seeing something longer. Keep it up!
I really Enjoyed playing this game. I wonder if there are multiple endings?
The game has just one ending. I thought about making multiple endings, but it didn't fit into the narrative. Thanks for playing :)

@Horrorable666
Really loved that game, the jumpscare were on point, I felt like someone was watching me when I was in the woods!
The buddy system could fix 80% of the danger in these games... but as always, it's more fun this way! Nice job on the game!
Creepy, short and sweet.
The jumpscares were very effective and I almost got a mini heart attack lol.
Well done! Looking forward to play your next works.
In the meanwhile, here is my playthrough.
I KNEW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE MANY ENDINGS!!
The atmosphere of this game was amazing. I really enjoyed it a lot. Keep up the great work!
Really good atmosphere and also a good jumpscare as well. Nice job. I only wish it was a tad longer.
