Great game, i was frightened when i was collecting the doll and saw him lurking in the fog.

Also excellent use of music on the path, I got a little paranoid.

Its sad to see only so few rating, for a competently made horror game.

The atmosphere was great, I really liked the plot and generell vibe, great use of Horror elements too.

I think it was a fun, immersive experience and it was cool to see the Wendigo. Nice job on this!

Very spooky, amazing atmosphere, great work! All the post-processing stuff is really nice aesthetic-wise.

The cow shed was such a spooky zone, I loved it.

It would have been nice if the area where you pick up the knife looped back to the start on its own path instead of making you backtrack all the way. Or at least make the area different when you backtrack to catch the player off-guard.

Overall very nice, super spooky!

You nailed the graphics and aesthetic! Looks absolutely amazing, wonderful job there.

Unfortunately I think this game fell into the trap of being a walking simulator. Some stretches of the forest are way too long to be walking down them not really doing much. I get that building ambience is important, but in this case the game turns more boring than scary.

Still, it's an amazing contribution to this jam. Great job!

Amazing effort!

The art, lighting and sounds do an amazing job of setting a creepy atmostphere. I'm shocked at how big the game is for only 1 week!
The set pieces like the cow shed are great scares.

I would say that the items your finding are probably too far apart, and its a bit of a slog to get through so much dark forest between them.

Overall, I loved it!
