I love how this is put together the 3d is on par with slender man. The audio had me looking behind me all the time for jump scares you deserve the 5 stars for that. Super fun to play and visually beautiful for a game made in 9 days. I did have issues with collision I found myself walking like a ghost through trees and houses, or maybe I am the monster in this story (dan da tan taaaaaa) lol. Anyways would defiantly see this being played by youtubers if worked on more. Well done AshenCryStudio I hope you find success in this game.

The game successfully evokes a creepy atmosphere. The voice acting is excellent. The biggest problem is that it is easy to get lost, there are no specific landmarks, so that should be improved. There are also technical issues as I was going through walls and trees. You can see that a lot of effort has been invested and you have a good basis for a very good game.

Dancing StalinAwesome style and spooky atmosphere! I like how the phone is displayed as both the flashlight and telling you the time. Would have been cool to have responsive lighting fx. I got thoroughly lost a couple of times! Would be nice to have some kind of indicator of where you are, though I understand how that could have deterred from the experience of actually finding your own way... I did manage to find the cabin on my 3rd try. I like how you have The Mask in the movie shelf. 😅 Tried to identify the others, but couldn't make it out.

Dr Franciumstein's Incredible EscapeI love the opening menu scene. I got lost not long into the game and didn't know where to go...

Corporate Slave SimulatorGreat presentation especially the title scene, the game looks great but the pink paths are obviously unfinished and I walked through the wall of the cabin. I am not sure if there was more I may loop back and explore further later, you definatelt had some vey nice elements and a nice gloomy look.

Mad Soul SwingingReally cool atmosphere! Was very creepy and well done. Only problem was the lack of direction, but overall well done.

Wreaking HavocLooks good, the atmosphere is there, I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what to do, I walked in circles several times and went off the map, I didn't find the cassette in the car, you should add a "how to play" section

Unstable Reactoralso there are no cassettes in the car, the first is in the cabin once you wreck the car, and then after u listen to that tape u head out the door and the markers or particles have different colors corresponding to the next tape you need to get, i know the orange one is the second one u grab. and every tape u have to go back to listen. its more of a narritive story than anything else. it tells a story of a man who forgot his deepest secret and those tapes hold you past self. hes mentally unstable.
I don't usually get motion sick in games, but this one really made my tummy hurt. The graphics, sound design, and atmosphere are really cool though!
