The atmosphere of the horror game is spot on, you have managed to trouble me in such a short span of time, which is a definite success of the game. Considering the game was made in just a week for the jam, the level design is just enough and makes the horror atmosphere just right. Having said that, the story ended up a bit too soon for my liking, I wanted more, which is also a good thing at the same time though!
Here's the issue, I love the idea of horror games. The story, the ambience, the methods used to instill the feeling of dread and terror in the player. I make games and tell stories because I love to make people feel things.
However that being said, I am an absolute wuss. It is currently noon in a full house and I am still so scared to play this D:
I'm just gonna pretend like I don't have a choice and need to play it. If there is a jump scare I swear I'm gonna rate 1/5 on everything.
Will edit with my thoughts after.
Have run into the man staring at a wall. Too afraid to move forward. I hate you.
Decided screw it and ran at him but after getting close got scared and ran away again. I seem to be at an impasse. :(
Final thoughts after finishing.
Fun and simple yet wow that spooked me. Like another reviewer said knowing that something was gonna happen at some point scared the hell out of me. Chills at the end. Great game chief.
Thanks for you interest in playing my game. I can assure you that there are no cheap "in your face" jump scare.
I'm glad that you played my game. I hate cheap jump scare as much as you do. But the fear of not knowing what is going to happen scare the heck out of me. Making a horror game is hard as I already know all that is going to happen, so I might sometimes misjudge the scariness of my own game.
Fun little horror game! Horror has a special place in my heart, and this definitely creeped me out. The feeling of not knowing what or how things will happen but anticipating SOMETHING is going to happen. I feel like you did that wonderfully.
If I gave a critique, I would say the level design needs some more thought. I know the blood and dirty environment adds to the creep factor, but if your goal is to make a good story within the horror game, I would say add some 'brightness or cheer' to it to REALLY contrast when the horror aspects come into play. Make the player feel safe...until they're not. That being said, I know this was done in a short game jam. You did more than I could in this short of a time. I followed you on Twitter to keep up to date with any games you make!
Thank you for your time to play my short horror game. The "brightness or cheer" tip is really good. Now that I think about some of the horror games that I played, they do have some breathing room for the player, like the save room in Resident Evil or the clock hitting 6am in FNAF.
I will try to play this game soon! It says DirectX is required or something. Let me figure out how! The visuals look cool though!
Hi, the game is made using Unreal Engine, so my guess is it requires DirectX11 or 12 for it to work.
