This Game was really scary!!!, but i wonder for the screaming sounds, Did you use the actual audio from Blair Witch Project, but anyways 10/10
This was really scary, the atmosphere was tense and really nice graphics. Thank you a lot!
Forest just amazing!!!!
I got to play your game along a few others in my last stream:
Awesome work, had a blast! Cant wait to see what you do next! Haha!ну в принципе игра хорошая
атмосфера в лесу прям ахуенная
но когда я нашел дом и начались вот эти сатанисты и какое-то чудище по имени Степан (я его так захотел назвать) эта атмосфера пропала
а так норм
Deadly Getaway: Unravel the Mystery in This Horror Game 🏡💔😱 S01 | 3rd Game
🎉 Full Gameplay Now Available! 🎮
The game is quite short, and shock me a few times. Good game.
My playthrough (second game in video, starts at 12:49):
Es escalofriante pensar que podría ser una situación que en la vida real puede ocurrir. Quiero decir, perderse en un bosque....
Y que peor si han cosas paranormales en el medio, recomendadisimo en todo sentido!!
Dejo mi gameplay para que disfruten, abrazo!!
Is this game Twitch-friendly? I'd like to play it, but I want to know if it has music that violates copyrights, explicit scenes of violence, or something like that☺️
اجواء مرعبة في رحلة وسط الغابات السوداء وصولا ببيت الشياطين
I told her I didn't want to go camping...
Is the updated version still in development? I see its off steam now.
It's been about 6 months and they still said NOTHING! Aside from them responding to a comment on Twitter saying that they hope to see them finish the game. They responded with something like "I'm sure one day we'll finish it and release it." That's it. They never made a public announcement or anything. I was already sad when the full version was seemingly cancelled, but this bizarre and suspicious silence is making me bitter and frustrated. They still pinned the Steam page on their Twitter DESPITE IT BEING DELETED!
Yeah I understand the frustrations, but I can assure you there is nothing suspicious about the lack of updates. Simply put; we ceased trading as a company and that meant we had to close our Steam store accounts. We did this because all of our time is spent working our full time gig on The Baby In Yellow and motivation for our other things dwindled.
The point we're at now is one of want to continue with this, we have it all designed out, but without a dedicated animator it's likely to not happen. I am going to pitch continuing the project with Team Terrible but I can't promise anything.
Hope that clears things up, sorry for the frustration.
Ok, thank you for telling me.
Very creepy, love the Blair Witch inspiration! Can't wait for the updated version whenever you get it done!
THIS FIRST WEEK MAY HAVE BEEN LACKING IN SCARY GAMES, DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY GOOD SCARES THIS WEEK, HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY IT!! (This game was in it! )

- I seriously loved the game and its atmosphere from start to finish, whether it's the graphic style, the sounds, the events, and also the fact that even if you get lost in the forest, you can find yourself, it's awesome. Congratulations.
never been so scared playing a game!
Nightmare Camping Trip: Girlfriend Vanishes and a Mysterious Stranger Appears
During a campout we awake in the middle of the night and discover our friend Heather has gone missing can we find her in time? I recommend playing 5 out of 5
WHERE DID THAT JUST COME OUT OF, WHERE IS HEATHER AND HOW DID I GET INTO THIS SITUATION?! Youtube Link -
It's been about two weeks and you've been suspiciously silent about what happened to the full version. Even on Twitter you've said nothing despite still pinning the Steam page for the full version of the game that was removed. It happened to be removed very close to when you planned to release it too. Could you please at least make a public statement? Why are you so quiet about it?
Amazing compact experience!
