This was great! Super atmospheric, I loved the ambience of the start.
Awesome visual design! very well done 👏👏
good game, good atmosphere, really enjoy playing it
nice work =)
thoroughly enjoyed .... great audio , sound effects, jump scares... i just wish it was a big enough game with real characters and real plot.
what character and what plot the skin walker throwing it back bro?
This was really good! The ending was nuts!!
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:
