Quite nostalgic and vibey gameplay. Playtime is around 30m - 60m.

Playthrough:

(SPOILERS BELOW)

My thoughts on the game:

  • Pretty nostalgic and vibey.. The soundtrack and general design kind of reminds me of Roblox, Doom, and some other games I played in my childhood.
  • Sometimes you have to "Juke" the enemy, some players will not be able to do that, or figure it out. Example would be the last skull collecting level.
  • I found the second level to be extremely difficult.
  • Finding keys is really hard. For example, on the first level it was pretty hard to notice it was in the fireplace area thing in the house, and the one on the bodies took me AGES, I wish it was more clear it was there.
  • The monsters are really scary! Constantly jumpscaring me, great job on that!
  • Hiding behind the statues is kind of pointless and sometimes does not even work, it's honestly way better to just juke the enemy. Personally though, I would've loved it if the monster actually collided with the statues.

Overall, a great decently long horror game. It is noticeable quite a bit of effort was put into the game and it is pretty fun to play!

I can only say you are crazy for completing this game in one go because it is supposed to be hard. Thanks for you feedback on the game and glad you liked it. You were lucky not to find the monster in 3.rd LVL the one where you can crouch Now about this comment from itch"Hiding behind the statues is kind of pointless and sometimes does not even work, it's honestly way better to just juke the enemy. Personally though, I would've loved it if the monster actually collided with the statues." It works if he is not to close to you and sorry for not colliding him with statues that is a bag that can be very easlly fixed. also I noticed that tranistion does not work for you when you go from one to other LVL I do not know the fix science it is not happening to me or anyone. Btw game has autosave but still thanks for actually compliting it I never expected someone to play it until the end.

Thanks for you feedback

Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel.

This was a cool horror game revolving around the idea that the main character has to clear three levels to uncover the secret behind the three mysterious statues. Even though I did not manage to complete the game as I was stuck at the second level, the one where the player has to collect skulls and not get caught by the monster. The second level of the game really reminded me of a game called Dark Deception except that there wasn't much more things added to help the player like a map of where the skulls are at or just a number telling the player how many skulls he is looking for. The way the monster runs is actually really funny though XD.

The first level was definitely horrifying in its own way where it keeps the player at their toes, worried about whether there will be jumpscares or something strange chasing the player. The spots where the keys are hidden are really clever as well. I took quite abit of time to find the keys. Overall, this was a fun and cool horror game that I enjoyed.

Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.
