A well done and faithful adaptation of the Blair Witch. Effective use of sound and atmosphere to cause constant unease. Good work.

THE SPOOKY VIBE IS UNREAL WITH THIS ONE, LOVED IT.

This game has incredible visuals, I got lost in the forest, but I ended up finding the house.Amazing game

:D D:

This game was INSANE in the best way that a horror game could be!! I really felt like I was walking in a dark forest alone & the screams sounded SO REAL. I also loved how creepy yet cool the cultist looked. 

10/10 highly recommend this game!

Really cool game. Not sure if there are different endings yet depending on which obelisks are found. I only came across one, but there were a few in the visions, so I wonder if finding more/different ones would change anything. 

One criticism I do have is that the spooky audio cues seemed to be randomly but semi-regularly occuring, which IMO kind of removed some of the tension from them. I could tell that nothing was following me in the woods after a couple minutes, so the tension dropped a lot until finding the house. Even in there, since there was no danger, since it was clear we were being taken through the whole house, again the tension dropped. 

Still a fantastic atmosphere and great music. Plucking violins are a classic, but still work well. The VFX and aesthetic are also perfect for the setting and vibe. There are a lot of woods horror games that don't seem to have an effective atmosphere for whatever reason, but this one definitely worked. Would have liked more mechanics, ways to die, lore to find, ways to investigate, tracking mechanics, etc. But It appears some of those may be added in the coming update.

Super fkn spooky. Great game <3 (first game in the video)

Had very nice/scary time with this game! It's very well made apart from those walls u can go through (u can see that in my vid), but other than that I really enjoyed this game!
(+1)

This was absolutely horrific (in the best way possible!), I was losing my mind from dread, and the atmosphere was just so terrifying. Thank you for making this, it was a fantastic experience! I donated but I would have given more if I could, I'm sorry.

Here is my gameplay of it, wishing you well <3
