Very nice game! I've got the screams and goosebumbs a few times :)
Hungarian playthrough:
Managed to complete this in just under 35 minutes. It's an incredibly good game if you're into short indie horror with an easy to understand story and a clear goal. ESCAPE!
Had such a fantastic time playing this!! I died a lot, and it was very spooky.
Also thank you to Selewi (Tomás) for popping into my stream to watch, such an amazing surprise!
A wonderful and fun experience. Short and straight to the point, doesn't waste your time.
Me and my audience loved it!
halal game

Loved This Game
This was awesome, amazing short horror game! The snipper was terrifying!
It was a good horror game. Ah, the jumpscare scared me off my chair lmao
This was ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!!! The jumpscare in this game is probably one of the most terrifying jumpscares I've seen in a horror game for a while. Thank you so much for creating this game, I screamed my absolute loudest which is something that I haven't done in a video for a while now. XD
you scream to much, not a fan of that
Great Game. I really digged the atmosphere and the tension. It reminded me of powerdrill massacre. Anyways I Made A Letplay on it. Cant wait to see what else you make!!!. P.S||| I Bought This On Steam.
this game is so creepy
It is even with VHS cassete desigh!!! Man, this is like Halloween movies!
im broke. :(
So far, this was super great! Roaming around the dark place with the wonky controls and then finding things as you progress and hearing the scissor dude was pretty scary! (Video below if anyone's interested!)
Not sure how, but I only managed to come across him like two times while running around, but just the sounds that were happening plus the camera distorting was really freaky and made everything super scary!
The dark maze of a place also really added to feeling trapped and the spookiness. The environment was just so creepy and the killer roaming around made it that much spookier; just hearing the snipping noises and the doors opening and closing were great cues and really well done!
Can't wait to see more of the game in the future (Think this was a beta so far?) Good luck for your project and hope it goes well!
Hey everyone, I also played this game, I will be happy if you take look :)
really loved this game! not a lot of games can get away with using no ambient music to scare people but this game was really terrifying, gameplay above if you enjoy be sure to hit the sub button guys!I kinda like this
Incredible game, can't wait to see more from you!

My heart was racing the entire time! Fantastically creepy, definitely captured the survival horror feel. Loved it!
This was a surprisingly terrifying and enjoyable experience. I had a few minor gripes but overall this was a great indie horror game. I have an edited play through of my full experiences here:
