I played this entire game from start to finish and I have never experienced something so surreal yet terrifying yet beautiful at the same time, the story and meaning just pierces your soul to its core. I suffer from depression and anxiety myself, and I have never felt something so amazing. as a young teen this has left a huge impact on me, way more than I thought it would. you really shouldn't jusge a game by its advertisement XD! SPOILERS!
I also loved the ah... fourth wall breaking elements (especially with the computer screen , it made this deeply personal and violating but it an astonishingly well done way. PLEASE make more games like this, I adore this SO MUCH. The only critcisms I have are probably the maze part where i had to search for one of the clocks (it made me more frustrated than anything XD)
This is one of the best gaming experiences I've had since I've started to do Let's Plays. Everything from the music to the themes presented in this game are great. It really gives me a Stanley Parable vibe mixed with a little bit of Doki Doki Literature Club. If you like either of those games you will love this. I had a little bit of trouble with a certain jumping section, but that did not take away from the overall experience which was amazing. If you want to see my experience first hand you can click the link below. I look forward to seeing more games from this developer, and wish you the best of luck on future projects!
I wouldn't really call this a horror experience maybe some people would and, maybe i'm so messed up with depression and, anxiety now that i'm numb to the horrors of such things. On to the expression side I think you did a good job winding a story (even though I didn't get through the whole things) all the while seemed to draw inspiration from games like the stanley parable and, some other titles i can't remember right now.
Aww, you stopped at the first third of the first run. :c I've made the light bridge a bit easier in the latest version, if you're interested in a retry. :)
CONTAIN SPOILER. IT'S A HELP REQUEST FOR THE CREATOR
Hi! I was finishing the game and, when the last choose come (hang yourself or push the 'help me' button) I choose to hang myself. I don't know how to continue, there's a photo that say 'look further' but IDK. Please help me this game is soooo good and I wanna continue it.
I've just finished playing for the first time, and this game has changed my perspective of life and how I look at things. Thank you so much on making this fantastic game and I am looking forward to any of your new projects.
That was a MASTERPIECE! I LOVE IT! Everything in this game, style, how it creeps out the player, the easter eggs etc. was perfect. I like how the second play and ending turned out. Good job mate. I would love to see an another game from you, can I ask are you planning one or not?
I wasn't expecting this game to get any attention at all, so I didn't initially plan to improve it. But since some people seem to like it, I've planned some updates for it. :)
the sneaky developer got to it first, but i'm gonna leave this here anyhow :D this game was something different from what most games are, and in my opinion, done great :D just... imagine the stanley parable, but horror and depression was added heavily.
(p.s. if you'll need to translate it to russian, i'll be more than happy to help. Sirhaian)
Haha, I am the fast. :p Really glad you liked it! :) I might try to do translations later on, but that wouldn't be before some time. :) Appreciate the offer, though! ^_^
Oooof!~ Definitely a long short game on a heavy subject that I didn't catch on with until later. I realize now you've since updated the game but I'm definitely playing on an older version since you updated very recently. Wish I'd had those subtitles you put in!
I talk about my thoughts about it all at the end. But overall, a very interesting game you've made here.
You made a game on a subject I can relate to, it just took awhile for me to realize it but thanks for listening to my rambles. I'm glad your work seems to be doing quite well so far and I hope you continue creating with the same level of passion you had for this game. Creative and awesome work! ;D
Some of the spooks in this really got me because I wasnt expecting the game to act like that 😂 It slightly reminds me of the Stanley Parable! Really good game
You're the first one I see that does not dare go through the mannequin in the computer room. Interesting. :D You're only half-way into the game. :p Thanks for the gameplay, though!
Wow. This was an experience everyone should play. One of the better "walking simulators" i have played in a long time. My only complaint is the light walkway, I really struggled. Like 15-20 minutes I edited out struggled. I think the pathway is a little small and easy to fall off of.
Really enjoyed your gameplay. Just out of curiosity, when did you get the latest build? 1.03 is a bit old, now. :p Also, about the light bridge, I always find it interesting how differently people attempt it. So get it immediately and complete it after two or three attempts. Others get lost in the dark. And others spend much more time than I anticipated. I won't lie, I'm a bit unsure how to balance that. :/
This is a really good game, thanks for making it. I relate to most of the things as well and you portrayed all the emotions and feelings really well. I hope you are ok now :)
Hi Sirhaian WOW you really made a powerful statement with that game, you are a genuis! I finally got part 2 finished and published, I encountered many challenging areas throughout the game and hope my many cuts don't affect the video too much.
Unfortunately my game didn't have the ending I should have had and I was really quite upset I was unable to get back into the game to redo that scene, it was a clever move on your end there :) I was so eager to reach the end I ignored some very obvious warnings and I won't say anymore as I don't want to create any spoilers....
VERY UNEXPECTED JUMPSCARES! YOU ALMOST MADE ME BREAK MY HEADPHONES!! I loved it! Its been a while since I played a decent horror game. I love that you combined (Jumpscares, Psychological Horror and Real life horror into it. For example the real life horror part to me was when the nuclear siren was going off and to me that frightens me in real life. Keep doing what you're doing cause I loved and im sure other people will too. My only thing is that you should've put this on steam for sale cause I think it would be worth $0.99-4.99 to play. I didn't encounter any bugs so I think you would be all set! Great job man! :)
I'm thinking about putting it on Steam. But I need to find out how to integrate Steam to Unity, which isn't the simplest thing ever. :p And I'd like it to remain a free experience. :)
Played this as part of a random indie horror and i gotta say, was pretty blown away with how good it was, there were some rough optimizations here and there but above all, this game set out with a message and it passed it on pretty effectively. Confusion set it for a little while, but was immediately cleared up at the end. Data mining my PC caught me off guard when i saw the first half of one of my emails pop up in the game, but was a pretty cool touch. If i had to give an criticism, i'd say the few optimization issues, (while tiny) were very present and some locations being a bit too dark at time. The gameplay was pretty fluent and fun, the mouse turning was a little draggy and i wasn't a huge fan of it, but can let it slide as it didn't hinder gameplay. This game packs a pretty powerful message of purpose and fulfillment and i can appreciate that. I give it a 9/10. You can get a much more in depth review in my let's play below!
Yeah man, always welcome people in need. Games like this really inspire people, and you did a great job on it! Thanks so much for the sub, i really appreciate it! Looking forward to your next project!

Thank you so much! Super happy the experience resonated that well with you. :)
Did you try restarting the game after finishing it? ^_^

If you chose the bad ending, there is no "clean" way to restart the game, as some choices have consequences.
However, you can always reinstall the game from scratch to try again. :)
Ohw, so sad. Okay, I'm reinstalling the game. Thank you
ps. Your game is purrfect, I love it and in a strange way It helps me with depression, so thank you very much
Thank you, and glad it's able to help! ^_^

What a unique little game!
My channel (opens in new tab) youtube.com/jonathick
Ty for the gameplay video! <3
A bit laggy but definitely the most unique game I've played in a loooong time!
Interesting. I've solved most of the known lag issues. May I know what is your config? :)
This game was amazing, I played right through. Recommending to all my discord friends.
Thank you so much! <3
I wonder if you tried relaunching it. :)
It was very impressive.
Is the whole experience related to suicide?
[And I prepared a full-game video of Korean subtitles for Korean players.]
[한국분들을 위해 한글 자막의 게임 플레이영상을 준비했습니다.]
Thank you so much, hwantasy!! Love the subtitles! :D
The experience is related to a lot of things, but mostly depression. :)
Spooky
<3
Some of the spooks in this really got me because I wasnt expecting the game to act like that 😂 It slightly reminds me of the Stanley Parable! Really good game
You're the first one I see that does not dare go through the mannequin in the computer room. Interesting. :D
You're only half-way into the game. :p
Thanks for the gameplay, though!
Thank you for the gameplay! :)
Will you make a second part? I'd love to see your reaction about the post-game. ;)
No problem! :D and sure! i will play the rest dude :D
Amazing, thanks! \o/
ok , you conviced me , i quitted the game bye
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks again~! <3
Very stunning and emotional experience. If u add a subtitles, i can help with translate to Czech language.
Thank you so much! :)
I'm currently adding subtitles. Might take some time, though.
Thanks! I hope it didn't get you down too much. :)
Just thought I'd add this amazing gameplay and commentary in here, too. My favorite so far. :)
From SkySail Games:
SKIP TO 14:31!!!
Thank you for the video! Loved your reactions. :p
This is a really good game, thanks for making it. I relate to most of the things as well and you portrayed all the emotions and feelings really well. I hope you are ok now :)
Thank you! :)
Making this game actually helped me a bit. And a lot of friends proposed their help. So yes, I'm okay now. <3
Really well done! Mostly a fun horror game for me but I appreciate the undertones! Keep up the awesome work! What can we expect in the future?
Thank you for the playthrough! Very enjoyable to watch! ^_^
You have a real talent for what I would call interpretative story telling. Keep up the awesome work! Hope to see more from you in the future!!
Thank you!!

Really glad you enjoyed the experience. :)
Let's Continue Part 2 of the Gameplay hahahhaha
Thank you! ^_^
Loved your gameplay. :)
Subbed!
Also put this game on gamejolt for more exposure
I'd say 2.99 tops
I'm thinking about putting it on Steam. But I need to find out how to integrate Steam to Unity, which isn't the simplest thing ever. :p
And I'd like it to remain a free experience. :)
Awesome man, Its a great game. I feel like a proud dad haha :p
Thank you so much for the playthrough! ^_^

Thank you so much for this walkthrough and review. Very fair, and I loved your call to let people talk to you if needed. Amazing, imo! Subscribed. :)
Yeah man, always welcome people in need. Games like this really inspire people, and you did a great job on it! Thanks so much for the sub, i really appreciate it! Looking forward to your next project!
This is a game you need to play. Not watch or even read. It's that good. Great job Dev.
