This game really had me on the edge of my seat lol the atmosphere and the sound effects in the woods were nuts and so were the few little jump scares. Good job!!
Did a great job with setting atmosphere, I loved how vulnerable it feels being in the woods with the darkness and sound effects
The section in the house genuinely had me kinda scared, awesome short game!
The game was pretty good for how much time was spent into it and I would encourage you to try to make into a full game.
Some bad and funny gameplay down here:
GERMAN GAMEPLAY HERE! ↓
hold up this only the prototype ??? the real game gonna have me shitting my pants
insane best quality game ive played on this site
A trip back to the blair witch project, love it!
Can see the simluarity in this one and hopefully you make more this was so uncomfortable but yet awesome! Keep up the good work guys.
VERY well made game, I'm a fan for sure!
That was a wonderful throwback into the 90s Blair Witch Project
I got lost and just entered the house I found...
This is very scary, atmospheric and wonderful work
Nice game :)

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
