Nice game :)
awesome game thank you :):):):)
This game so creepy! I loved every second of this! Please make more!!
Its Blair Witch lol
Genuinely scary
We Need more! great game
Love the immersion and the sound. Great short horror game!
Such a fantastic short horror game. Some of the best sound and atmosphere I've seen in a while. Would love to see this as a full game but regardless great job!
Really scary 10/10 really enyoyed this game, recommend all day :)
One of the best horror games i have seen so far
I am late to the game but this is so beautiful, everything fits, the sound effects are top notch, really triple A level, the environment is immediately uncomfortable and disorienting and even though it’s such a short experience, it feels like I just went through hell and back :D Gorgeous. The way how every single detail adds to the unease, the terror is outright luscious.
FYI: Happy New Year!
Great stuff,. this game has some truly terrifying moments!
Happy new year everybody!
frames dropping and why no menu for adjustments
My playtrough of your game
a love letter to haunted ps1 style games i cant say how well thought out and done this game is so heres my take on it!
great short creepy game
good
Super impressive guys! The atmosphere you created in such a short amount of time is breathtaking. This hit the right spot for me on so many levels! (Gameplay in in German)
This game well put together, and the constant ambiance made it amazing!
Was a really good game thank your for the pleasure !
That was a really cool game! I even made a video while playing, I hope everyone likes it as much as I did, while watching.
which unreal engine 4 does this game use?
4.24.2
Amazingly done, I was in suspense the whole time! The subtle touch of the participants of the ritual surrounding you outside was great!
loved itttt!!!!!!!!
This game is actually a lot better than I anticipated. I went into it expecting a very cheap jumpscare fest. But I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually building upon something that felt unique, especially towards the end.
The atmosphere is chilling, the camera handles well and the sounds are perfect, is a good game I loved it! Recommended to all who like terror and urban exploration.

I loved the atmosphere they created, got pretty intense. It reminded me a lot of the Blaire witch project which was very spooky.
I kind of almost gave up on this game, because I was running for what felt like far too long w no objective, but Im glad I didnt. the ending was awesome and v surprising.
Loving everything about this game. Sound, environment, and the monster at the end. Hits all the "horror" buttons.
