This Game was awesome, i most deff recommend

é bem simples e uma coisa que percebi é que esse efeito vhs ou pixelado é esculachado até o talo o que da uma sensação de jogo meia boca mas o jogo consegue te fazer algumas surpresas de vez em quando e o final consegue sim te pegar de surpresa

it is a chilling game, makes me think of those times where you feel like you saw something at the corner of your eyes but decide to ignore it for your own good lol. cool short game looking forward for more :)

Hey checked out all your games and absolutly love them! Cant wait to see what you release in the future!

¡Juego terrorífico  que te mantiene en tensión todo el rato! Final un poco triste, pero estuvo genial 👍✨

good game

Not only was the game unique, tense, and chilling, but it was also very sad and made me want to cry. This game was one of the most memorable indie horror games that I've played, and it even made me think about a life lesson!

I can't believe I forgot to post a comment after I made the video, I'm so dumb anyways this game was cool had a scary monster that you couldn't look at and worst of all homework 8/10.

5/5 - Creepy, Clever, and So Much Fun!
I had such a good time playing this! The atmosphere was perfectly eerie without being overwhelming, and there were a couple moments that legit made me jump. I loved the little details scattered throughout the environment—it kept me curious and on edge the whole time. The pacing was great, and the ending?? Chef’s kiss.
If you love short horror games that know how to build suspense, this one’s a must-play. Can’t wait to check out more from the dev! 🎮👻

maybe make a part 2 where police officers find the body’s and have to find out who killed them
