A nice short horror game. Playtime ~10 minutes.

My playthrough:

(SPOILERS BELOW)

My thoughts on the game:

  • The game has a nice atmosphere to it.
  • The monster isn't too scary and I would generally classify it as goofy. It was a bit scary sometimes but I think the design, sound effects and it's behaviour could've been improved.
  • The main menu is very bland with no sound effects.
  • I wish there was a simple version of the text to read when left clicking. Many popular games do this to combat the hard to read font present.
  • It was never explained why there were broken down cop cars and blood. Additionally, if the cops got killed by the monster, more cops would arrive.
  • It's unclear why the guy who wrote the notes hid the keys in all these different places - It's a monster, and it doesn't seem very smart either, if it can't read the text it probably can't open doors either.
  • The light doesn't seem to do anything to the monster.
  • It's unclear the monster takes damage from the gun until you kill it, as it kinda just disappears and respawns.
  • The story was easy to follow.

Overall, it was a nice short horror game. Great job!

Quite spooky and the story seems to build up to something very interesting! Keep up the good work!

Had a lot of fun with this game, good work :)

love the game thank you :):):)

I really liked the game! It was simple, but the sounds were very creepy indeed! It seemed slow at first too, but once it got close it did not want to let go! Can't wait to play the sequel! Great job!

nice spooky
