I didn't find any of my friends, every time I tried an ugly and strange monster would eat me alive lol. I think the game's strong point is the soundtrack, the sound of the trees and the noises of the forest give you a constant feeling that something bad is going to happen, I found it quite scary. Congratulations, great game!

Hi, thanks for playing! I wish I'd time to demonstrate the creature's behavior in an incremental fashion. It plays pretty fairly, hunting you loosely by smell, then listening for noise you make. If you get too far from him, he'll jump through treetops and hide, giving positional audio cues. Any sound or footstep he makes generates a directional indicator of you're standing still.
But none of this is taught or demonstrated, so it's likely to seem that he just bursts out of nowhere and eats you. Thanks for you feedback!
Wow, now that I know this I'm going to play it again, I think it would have a better progression...
