Hi Everyone, this game is wonderful. Congratulation. Have a good day
SK/CZ Let's Play
This game is GREAT! And SCARY! And GREAT again!I love horror games, but after this one I needed a break from them, because this was really intense! 15 minutes experience but not a single second of peace.
And the ending is really GREAT!
Absolutely loved this game!! It had such an amazing atmosphere!! Well done :)
🎉 Full Gameplay Now Available! 🎮
Man I was loving this game but it was just so damn short. I would loved being in the forest finding more stuff for longer, some more spooks, and just a slower burn I think.
I was harsh on the ending when I played but seeing that you're actually fleshing it out and doing a full release soon makes me pretty hype.
Here's my playthrough, this was the 3rd game we played and it starts around 26:36
Went from running marathons around the forest to a romantic evening by candlelight with an obelisk really quickly.
I don't think she liked it though, that guy forgot the rose petals :(
Nice short indie game! You can clearly see the inspiration. 😄👌
(German gameplay video)awesome game really like it and very spooky! really like the whole atmosphere of it made it very scary and always thought there was something watching me!
Deadly Getaway: Unravel the Mystery in This Horror Game 🏡💔😱 S01 | 3rd Game
Nice game!
The atmosphere to this game really blew me away!~
The game's atmosphere is very eerie, the moment I hoped into the game, I was greeted immediately by those cult men. GOOD GAME!
GOOD GAME.
I liked this a lot! It packed a lot of punch for such a short little game. Def worth a play.
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
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!
