Pretty damn scary, atmosphere is awesome, but I found it too dark to play more, even with hitting space.

Submitted

Developer

An interesting game. Works great as a horror.

Thanks!

I like the idea and concept of the game.

The echolocation feature is great. Although I didn't know it was a feature bc I overlooked the how-to text since there were buttons.

Make sure tutorials aren't walls of text since people overlook some of the info.

The echolocation feature is so cool but the timer takes a while to  do it again and it ends so quickly (at least in my opinion)

I think a game with a heavy emphasis on "find key, open door" should give more chances to actually see the surroundings. 


I like the atmosphere, the jumpscare felt a bit cheap since I got jump-scared before even leaving my first room when I was still figuring out controls and movement and couldn't understand what I did 😂

Other than that I like the audio and feel of the game

good job!

Wow, thanks for detailed suggestions! Your opinion overlaps with other people so issues you listed are valid issues to be solved. I think maybe next time something like safe zone would do great with this type of the game.

Submitted

That made me jump so bad, oh god my heart lol, Great game!!

Developer

Thanks! At the same time I am happy and I feel bad that you got a heart attack because of my game.

Submitted

Damn! Really made me jump. I was invested. How did you make the echolocation feature? It works very well. I loved the game idea and the execution was awesome. Good work! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! For echolocation I used the sonar effect shader that I tweaked for my purpose.

Submitted

lmao i jumped big time. nice job

Developer

Haha, thanks!

Submitted

The echolocation idea is great, making you move around more carefully. I also liked the use of audio in the game. The jumpscare got me multiple times. Great job, it's a cool game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Happy to hear you liked the core concept of this game!

Submitted

Super spooky, the echolocation mechanic is really cool. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Good game, the aesthetics create a great atmosphere of tension and the mechanic of listening to the bug increases that tension even more, it made me jump out of my chair hahah. I wouldn't add screamers in the game, me personally I think that kindy ruin the tension.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Gonna make more research about horror genre next time

Submitted

i like the concept, but its too dark even with the echolocation feature... the game is still pretty cool and creepy. the jumpscare made me jump ;-;

Developer

Haha, thanks for honest suggestion. Next time I'll play more around getting echolocation to give useful information in appropriate time frame.

Submitted

you are welcome man, can you try my game tho?

Submitted

nice idea that fit the theme!  i like how you lower the volume so I have to increase my volume which will make the experience even better for a horror game!

P.S. i really bad at horror game 

Developer

Thanks! Spent some time optimizing horror aspects to give it more thick atmosphere. Happy to hear you liked it!

Submitted

nice jump scare.

Developer

Kinda basic, but with that time limit it gets the job done xd

Submitted

Nice game! :) the echolocation really makes this stand out from other horror games as you actually have a sense of direction... I got jump scared every single time.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

I really like the atmosphere of this game. Also, using the echolocation thing is very fun !

Developer

Thanks! Really glad you liked it

Submitted

Love the echolocation mechanic, I ended up getting jumpscared a lot, you got me, great work!

Developer

Happy to hear you liked my game!
