Very good game! i left some feedback in my video here:

P.S. The ambient music is copyrighted :( 

This rocks. Can't wait to see more. Here's my No Commentary playthrough:

If you were going for a tense atmosphere fraught with peril at every step, then you certainly nailed it. Creepy from start to finish, and that ending! Wow! Great job! My No Commentary playthrough with puzzle solutions:

Managed to get the Good Ending.

I liked the cold, oppressive atmosphere you created and I'm fascinated by anything Soviet-related so that's also a plus. 

Like others have said, I had a hard time following the story. I'd suggest including more notes to help flesh out what's happening. I just had to guess at the plot and I probably wasn't correct.

You've said you "lightened" up the game but jeez man-- it's still super dark. Too dark to see half the time. Maybe a flashlight or something?

I did enjoy this however, and I think you've shown a lot of potential here. Keep at it and the next one will be even better I'm sure. Cheers.

I only recently discovered your work, but I think you do a remarkable job. I included a review of The Shopping List in my Halloween special here:

This game deserves more attention. I'm pitching in by showcasing it in my Halloween special here:

Such a cool game for Halloween, with a great cast of characters! I reviewed/showcased it in my spooky special:

Such a great game! I showcased it and gave it a review in my Halloween special!

Hello again! I enjoyed this game so much I just had to showcase it in my Halloween special!

Wonderfully crafted with awesome artwork and a delightfully brash main character. And yeah the cat too is adorable. Great job on this!

OK I just now went back to check and OH. MY. GOD. You're right-- I completely misunderstood how it worked! I'm kind of embarrassed but hopefully the next person who reads this will get a laugh from my dumbass mistake lol

Great job! My only suggestion would be some playful background music-- it felt too quiet. Too bad we can't cuddle with the giant rodent. Maybe in the sequel?

Try as I might, I couldn't quite get the end mechanic to work correctly, and I played it through twice. So I watched someone else's video to see the ending. Even though my copy's apparently bugged, it's still a fine effort on your part Niven. I liked being able to fight back against the enemy, and the reference to Unseen Trace? That was really cool!

The topics involved here kind of gave me the ick, but the game itself is absolutely incredible-- very thought-provoking stuff that makes for a harrowing experience. Great job.

I love love LOVE these kinds of retro-style shooters and DEAD TRASH is easily one of the coolest ones I've ever played. As someone mentioned below, the axe could use some work on it's timing and swing speed but otherwise I'm not sure I would change much else. You did a remarkable job creating this considering Easy FPS Editor is notoriously janky.

Another fantastic game from one of the most imaginative devs around. Can't wait for this to get updated so i can see how the rest of the story plays out. the Voice acting is amaze-o and the artwork is, of course, beautifully drawn as always.

Man oh man this demo was AWESOME!! I love 3rd-person retro survival horror stuff and your take on the genre is very impressive. I even love the creepy carnival setting you chose. Great puzzles, nice inventory screen, different weapons to combat foes-- total package here. Thanks BEDTIMESTORIES for another great game! My No Commentary Playthrough:

One of the best VNs I've played. You do great work!

Cool little game to go out on. You always made interesting stuff-- good luck with your studies and future career!

What an amazing little horror excursion! The subject matter is a little too dark for my taste but that said, this is remarkably well-made. Easily a 5-star game. My full No Commentary playthrough here:

Awesome game! Here's my playthrough:

Yeah it's not there. This is a really cool game btw, I love that you combined first-person and third-person perspectives as well as having a cool inventory and different enemies to take down or avoid.

The slow walking speed can get pretty annoying after a while so I just ended up holding down shift to run all the time. Another bug I occasionally encountered was my character would get stuck on geometry or clip out of the screen and I'd have to restart. Also, after loading a saved game inventory items would oddly disappear-- like the battery or the floppy disk, and they couldn't be recovered or found again.

But despite these issues I found myself wanting to play the game again and again because, as I mentioned above, I'm intrigued by the gameplay and the world you've created.

The spooky eyeball-desktop-event happens and I get a message saying "I've changed the log file location to [This PC/Documents/Logs]." Am I now supposed to track down the code in my computer's files? I half-heartedly tried that but couldn't get anywhere and I'm still clueless.

Can't find the code to the door. Any hints?

Been a fan for a few years now, and you've once again proven you're a cut above the rest. Awesome game.

Another great installment. Keep it up!

I tried 3 times, but it kept crashing. The furthest I got was about 7 minutes in where you are searching through numbered rooms and you have to find "stuff" (no spoilers). I like the dirty, PSX style visuals. At times the environment gets very dark, like maybe we need a flashlight or lighter or something. I hope you can update this because I'd like to give it another go!

Loved this second installment and the implementation of third-person gameplay!

This series is so cool-- thanks for making it! Here's my No Commentary playthrough of Part 1:

The bad: it's too short. The good: I loved the desolate, empty atmosphere of the school. The camcorder mechanic was nice, gives us a new way to look at our surroundings. The music was surprisingly catchy. In an earlier comment you mentioned the game could be longer depending on how much we explore, but I think it's only natural to follow the objective markers when playing a "walking simulator". I know this is one of your earlier games and you've grown waaayyy past it at this point but I'm still enjoying playing through these old games of yours that I must have missed the first time. You do amazing work!

This was a joy to play. i loved the autumnal vibe, and the antagonist was quite unique. The map was huge so lots to see and explore. My one complaint, and maybe this was just a weird bug, but the compass you find mixes up east and west. NW is actually NE, et cetera. That caused me some confusion at first, but after a bit I knew to flip it when plotting my course to the next destination. Is the tree creature somehow based off Irish folklore? At any rate, great job!

Great job making this! I left lots of feedback here in my review, check it out:

You knocked this one out of the park! I left lots of feedback here in my review:

Really enjoyed playing through this. I left some feedback for you here in my review:

What an amazing, thought-provoking game! I left some feedback for you here in my review:

Loved the game! I left  lots of feedback in my review here:

bro just spins in a circle. won't move forward?

Let me start off by saying i LOVE the aesthetic you chose. Reminds me of Stay Out Of The House by Puppet Combo. It takes a minute to get to the scary part but that's great-- it gives you time to be unnerved by the forest area and its odd emptiness.

That said, once I arrived at the warehouse and began exploring, i discovered the antagonist is lightning fast-- way too fast. He sees you >> you're dead. Sadly this prevented me from getting further into the game.

I'd also say i enjoyed the random nature of the "lurker": he can appear pretty much anywhere it seems. If he was toned down a bit I think it would be an improvement, but otherwise I think you're heading in the right direction and with a few tweaks this could be an awesome little horror outing. Following!

Some of the best ideas are short and simple. Loved the concept behind this! Really leaves you thinking about it afterward.

Awesome game and very polished. The jumpscares are great and the tedium of making the food and beverages really helps to heighten the suspense. An endless mode would be nice, as well as more lore and more endings. Great job.
