 I like the overall story beats and the presentation is pretty good (I liked how the beaver was a still image), but I do wish that the hounds were a model/sprite in-game. When I turned around to see nothing chasing me and dying a moment later, it did end up being immersion breaking. Regardless of that, great work!

Thanks! time constraints :)

cool little experience! not too scary but scary enough to be fun! it was just a bit annoying that the tutorial text didnt allow you to move and you couldn’t really skip the dialogue(the sequence stayed on screen for way longer than it shouldve) also nice easter egg lol

Developer

Thanks👍

Fantastic work! I love about everything about it. The retro style, the humor, the presentation. You even made a youtube walk through. The horror is just mild. I was waiting for some more plot twist at the end, like you turn from a dear to an eagle, a hound or something like that. And I also was not able to find the epic easter egg. I was pressing "U" like an idiot but nothing happened. Can you give me some hint perhaps?

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

press U and look at the Beaver👍

Very interesting idea and a great execution. The ending could be a bit more clear, because I am still confused on what happened exactly and how I could avoid it. Loved the art style, you did a fantastic job on that part

Developer

Thanks! both endings are plain and simple:

You die.

As you might guess from my game I'm a sucker for the retro style, fantastic game, we need more retro horror!

Developer

I love the low res art style! Everything fits together very nicely. The hunter was actually kinda scary lmao.

Hilarious concept, I loved all the low res art and sprites.

I almost bailed after the first time dying to the hounds (at the random wall that said look up I turned around and started climbing the tree to heaven 🙏 only to find hounds 😔 ) But! I went and rebuilt that beavers house and carried on! And I'm glad I did! The ending was funny and well worth it! I dunno if that's your voice, but boy o boy, it is off-putting and perfectly creepy. Well done! Good game :)

Developer

Thank You! yes, that's my voice, and my face (for the Hunter that is)

I think you nailed the look. The beaver being a 2D sprite took me out a bit, but it's a jam, I know you have to cut corners. Well done.

Developer

Thanks! despite how it may seem like, the Beaver was actually an artistic choice of mine (also cutting some corners lmao)

Fun twist, loved the beavers model as well. 

Developer

Thanks👍

Fun concept. I really like the setup and the moment when it turns into horror. However I think running from the hounds is pretty frustrating because you have to start all over again if you get caught, or at least I didn't see quick restart button.

Developer

Thanks!

I genuinely got a fright when the voice started speaking! Love the concept and the blurry jpgs, they really add to the horror theme. Darn dogs!

Developer

Thanks! The voice acting for Hunter was done by Yours Truly (me)
